Wo woro more particularly interested in
the show Of Stock. than in any other branch
Of tho Fair We should think there wero
noLQuitc so many cattle on exhibition ns at
some of the previous Fairs yet thc mum.
Ter Eas large, and tho quality generally
superior There were many fine cattle that

Chester Palmer, of Chester, as usual

Tho Grand Procession of Premium Cattle
which marched around the admirably graded
Half Milo Ring, was indeed an interesting
sight to behold. Tho noble animals ap
pcarcd to excellent advantage.
Tho show of Swine was largo, but we
had no opportunity to note it particularly.
George Anderson. of PancsvlIc, exhibited
boar. of tho Lincolnshire and Blficld
breed, which weighed 6lO pounds, and was
monster in sac.
We should think the show of Fine.
WooIed Sheep cqraI, if not superior to that
at any previous Fair If tho Society
Tho exhibition inside tho Hall, was largo
and attrnctivc-wilh tho exception OF fruits
and Vegetables, perhaps quite as much so

varieties of potatoes, entered hy J. z Stone
OF Middlofiold, which, in eSpcct to size
wcro curiosity.
The number of horses on exhibition from
out of tho County. is larger than over be-
fore. Thorc arc several celebrated horse.

stallion which won tho &lOO purse ut the
, Cuyahoga Falls Fair; the fine driving stul.
, lion, known as tho Thompson horse. from
johnson. TrumJu!! Co.; and the Black
PAGER Stranger" said to be tho fastest in
the State.
Tho Society have everything provided
that is necessary to render such Fair
interesting. Their cattle pons and horse.
stables, in particular are perfect models OF
their kind. We doubt that any other So
cloly in tho State have expended so much
money so advantogonusly, in this respect
At this Fair, hs at all tho preceding ones
= there arc numborless side, shows, victualnt
establishments. otc.. which, all together
serve to CRAFTY both idlo curiosity and
- craving appetite.
