WEDNESDAY, SEPT. II, 1859,
State Fair.

nearly every respect the exhibition this
year was equal or superior to any that has
preceded it. The show of horses, sheep
and cattle was very gratifying to all who
feel an interest in Vermont AS an agricul-
rural stock-growing State. In the article
of cattle is there to be observed signs Of
very decided progress.
The weather was, on the whole, favora-
Die, though cooler than was desirable,
Wednesday being made decidedly uncom-
Portable by severe northwest gale
Thursday was the gala day of the week
In the forenoon the horses were displayed
on the track, and the show was rich and
dsz7lins-such as is seldom or never seen
al general agricultural exhibition. In
the afternoon Ethan Allen, with severa
of his colts, was exhibited on the track
for the qualification Of the assembled
thousands, who evinced their pride in
this Vermont pet by laundering demonstra.
lions as often as he came around in front
of the stand.
A large number Of distinguished gentle.
men from abroad were present-among
them Gov. Banks, Gen. Wool and Hon
Joshua K. Giddings The former gave
an excellent address, upon the subject
of Agricultural Fairs and their effect
upon agriculture and governments.
1t was very able, and WAS listened to
with deep interest by the assembled null
titude of 10000 or $4,000. Briefer re.
marks were made by the other gentleman
named.
The Mechanical department OF the Fair,
We thought more full and interesting than
last year, but we have not space 70 partic.
ularize.
The Floral Department, though we'll
filled with exhibitions OF taste and skill,
was certainly no improvement upon last
year, and the show of fruit and vegetables,
as should have been expected in such an
aGpropitious season was inferior to former
exhibitions
Our limited space allows Us TO give such
premlums only, As we're awarded to e1-
bieitors from this County and it is with
no little pride that we observe that Old
Addison has, as usual taken 4 large share
