The various departments are filling up to-day,
and with the larger attendance the Fair is as-
sumipg more interesting aspect. The prac.
ticc Of suppressing the names Of owners con-
tinues to sit in council and stands in the way Of
the reporter; thnugh it Is no longer Inv, of the
State Society, jet habit has 50 fixed it upon the
minds OF the exhibitors that they still act upon
its old fogy principles Take an instance: You
come to stall containing fine COW, you wish !
to know the: nams Of the owner as well rs the
part Of the country from whence she hailed, but
unless yoa should accidentally stumble upon the
owner, your only resource is the entry books.
We can but express the hope that at the Nation
al Fair the exhibitors tickets will be SO printed
that the owners name and residence can be put
on them, and that it be made the duty Of the en-
try clerks to see TINT this is done. This morn
ing ne attempted list Of the stock, but with
few exceptions made no progress, but COL Dun
lap, the Superintendent of this. department, is
at work making good the oversight, md to-
morrow we shall rc-commence on the stock
stalls. The Horticultural! Department has been
the centre Of activity and admiration during the
day, such old pomologicaI heads rs Dr.. ]. P
