Miami County Fair at Troy.

hlhmh Nounby Ehlr AZ Troy.
THIRD DAy-THURsDAY, 29th
The morning opened with clear sky
cool breeze and delightful weather Early
in the day the people began to arrive by
rail road, canal, and turnpike, and all the
great thoronghfaros Leading into town were
lined with people, as far as the eye could
roach, who were vending their way to the
Fair When we arrived at the Fair Grounds
we found thousands Of intelligent looking,
we'll dressed ladies and gentlemen already
assembled. They continued to arrive until
noon, when il was estimated that several
thousand people had collected
All concur that this is one of the best
County Fairs ever held in the State. The
horsessare not inferior to those exhibited at
the State Fair, and good order has been thus
far preserved: All goes on systematically
and hormoniously. Abundance of food can
be obtained At the Booths, and we have not
yet seen single person inebriated.
At the close of the Fair yesterdayall of the
premium stock was paraded in a grand cav
alcade, forming one of the most beautiful
professions of the kind which we ever wit
messed ltreminded us of che descriptions
given of Noah and his animals marching
into the Ark. AT the head of this process
ion rode the worthy President, Wm. H. Ga
hagan, Esq, the sturdy old farmer who is
always on hand during these occasions. He
was accompanied by blind musician who
sung and played some soul, stirring nation
al anthems. This closed the exercises of
the third day. To morrow there will be
some fast trotting, and such goods sold az
auction as the owners wish TO dispose Of
when :he Fair will close for the season.
