STAT. FAIR AT New Albany.

state Fair at New Albany.
The State Fair at New Albany has proved,
il is said a most decided pecuniary success
as a magnificent exhibition of the fruits OF
Industry. The whole expenditures and the
premiums offered, amount to about 81 2, 600.
The receipts are reported to be up 10 Thurs
day night about $4,000, from itinerant
exhibitions, and $1,000 from regular exhi-
bitors There were received at the gate
on Tuesday, 81, 50O-on Wednesday SO, 600,
and on Thursday, about 81, 900; the whole
receipts viii probably reach $4,000 or sls,-
600, and give a profit of $1,000 or So, 900,
to the Association. The Louisville Journal
says: "The exhibition of machinery, if not
large, is excellent in point Of quality. Ag-
ricultural implements are plentiful, most of
which embrace all the important improve
ments that mark the wonderful progress in
this feature of our country's prosperity. The
show of horses and cattle combined, is in
fnitely superior to that of any Fair hitherto
held in that State. The departments of fruit
and farm products is very full, and the dis
play satisfactory In fact, the exhibition is
quite worthy of the crowds that dance at
tendance, immense as they have been. s..
The pickpockets were numerous on the
grounds, and made several heavy abstrac-
tons from the pockets of the unwary and
unsophisticated. One man lost S64O, but
congratulated himself that the thief did not
get his fingers into his other pocket, where
be had $1,000. 'a' ''''.- b.

subsequently, Kentucky carried off at least
half the premiums. ...
The afternoon was principally devoted to
the display of blooded cattle, and some o.
the finest ever seen were there. In the ring
