Rirhth Annual Rxs,bI,,er or the Halted !


Eirhth Annual Rxbibitloa of the UnIted
States Agricultural Society-Laat Day.
AS we stated yesterday, the Fair, in conse-
aueuce of the inclemency Of the weather,
was continued one day longer than at first
propoeeli that is 10 say, the grounds were
omen. and some horses were shown, but in
ail essential respects, the Fair closed on
Thursday evering Many of the articles on
exhibition were removed on Thursday, and
more the next morning; so that by Friday
afternoon the grounds presented rather q
desolate appearance. Even the attraction
Of a spirited and sharply contested trot
failed TO draw the crowd anticipated.
We doubt whether there were more than
O0OpeOpe on the ground, and they seemed
to he principally sporting men, some OF
whom came only to see the race, but more
TO take advantage of the opportunity which
il afforded to turn an honest penny" if
possible. There were also on the stand a
few ladies and gentlemen, who evidently
came TO see the Fair not aware, until they
reached the ground. that this was really the
"day after the Fair To be sure, there yet
remained for their inspection some vestiges
of the display OF fruits and Sewers, very
good as far as they went, and giving very
fair idea of what the display had been in
these classes; and some articles bad not
been removed from the domestic and miscel-
laneous departments, while the fine arts
still presented a fine appearance.
The great attrs cti0n of the day, however,
was the trotting-mateh for aged stailious, for
which there were three entries, viz; "Wo-
ful," "Washtenaw Chief" and Clinton"
As the first two horses seemed to be pretty
well known on the ground, and had pre-
viously made about the same time, the in
terest was strong, and the betting ran high.
The third horse seems to have heen thrown
in as a mere make-weight, and certainly
stood no chance with the others. The match
WIS best three in five, fora premium of 800,
offered by the Society,". and citizens purse
OF $500, and was so well contested that the
entire FIVE heats were run. We have not
space to give history Of the trot, but give
the summary below:
