The agricultural Erhibition..-The exhibition
of the Agricultural Society of New Castle Go.
opened on Tuesday week, and was continued ON
Wednesday aud Thursday The display was
credtable and the attendance was larger than
we had expected, from the little interest man
tested by many of the farmers in regard to the
affair. We have thought, at times, these exhi-
billions had ceased to be of utility, but the dis
| play on this occasion went far towards remov
ing that impression. Nearly every farmer may
| Term something from the contributions of his
neghbors and beside mingling together and
| interchanging ideas cannot be other than high
ly advantageous. The trial of the speed of
horses forms an interesting feature in these ex-
hibitons, but whether it is profitable one is
a matter Of disputation Since il is tolerated,
however, it is source of regret that the track
or course was not enlarged and put in good
condition. It is not fit TO drive horse on ut
high speed, and it is more fortunate than 9th
erwise that horses escape accidents or injury.
There should be good track or none at all
Hoyses.-The display of horses was unusual
ly fine, and attracted much attention from yisi
tors, owing to their pedigree, and the beautiful
appearance and fine proportions. Black Hawk
