STA TIE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-FINE EX
| HIBITION OF STOCK-LIST OF ARTICLES
ON EXHIBITON-POSTPONEMENT OF
THE TRIAL OF SPEED
The weather yesterday morning was anything bu
favorable for the commencement of tae State Agri
cultural Fair. During the night and morning muct
rain had fallen, and at nine o'clock the sky wal
heavily overcast with clouds, which threatened
rain every moment. The lines of omnibuses which
annually carry visitors to the Fair had taken thei
positions Calvert street, at Baltimore, and a
North street, at the Daily Exchange Office Th,
drivers and "borkers" cried 'sCattle Show" .fHc
for the Cattle Show, now starting" but without
effect, and the buses did not fill. The weather gave
no fair promise, and the people preferred to remain
where they could find shelter.
The appearance of the Fair Grounds was any,
thing but bright. The rain had meowed the
earth, and wherever vehicles or animals had
passed, was mud pool. The track, which had
been prepared with much care, and which on the
day previous was in such excellent condition, wa.
soft, and would have been utterly ruined had the
managers allowed the grand calvacade to take place
Consequently, this interesting feature of the exh
btion was prudently dispensed with, and the gate
to the track kept closed. The trial of speed which
was to take place at 2 O'Clock, P. NJ, was post
poned until half-past one o'clock to-day.
During the early part of the day but little rain
fell, and at one time the rays of the sun forced
themselves partially through the clouds, and the
afternoon bid fair to be pleasant. At this show OF
good weather number of horses were led from
their stalls by the grooms, the blankets removed
and they were taken into the enclosure with strict
inunctions to keep off the track. But few min
utes elapsed before the hopes which the moment of
sunshine had raised were dispelled. The clouds
thickened and without any warning the rain COM
menced pouring down. There was a scattering of
the few people present to the different buildings
and hurrying ofhorses to their stalls. The rain
continued until nearly dark.
The display of stock this year, both in point of
numbers and quality, is much superior to any x
hibtion heretofore The horses and cattle are
particularly excellent. The Morgans, Vermont
Black Hawks, and other famous breeds are largely
represented and for style, speed and general beau
ty, most credtabe. The display of horses for
heavy and light draft and general utility is also
very fine. The array of cattle is very attractive
All the different breeds fully represented and
the competition for the premiums will be great. The
lot exhibited by John Merrymen, Esq, (Herefords)
all of the finest class. Most of these animals
have been exhibited at the Chicago Fair of 1859
an the Cincinnati Fair of this year. at each of
which they took premiums. Mr.. Merryman has
placed the laurels (ribbons) which each animal has
won on the stall, with the date and name of the
Fair at which they were received.
The display of Messrs! Odin Bowie and Strandsburg
of Devons, is also excellent. Mr.. NJ. 7. Goldsbo-
rough has a fat steer exhibition, named John
Bell, which is one of the largest and heaviest ami
mails that has ever been exhibited at the Fair. He
weighs $500 pounds on the hoof, and competent
judges estimate that he would weigh 100 pounds
meat. The breed is a cross of the Durham and
Grade, and he is most perfectly formed animal.
ton. The exhibition of swine is also very good,
but not so large comparatively, of horses cat
tie. The ladies', or household department, is also
very fine. The only point in which the Fair does
not exceed any of its predecessors is in that of
chinery and agricultural implements. There is
not such great quantity of this class of articles
on the ground but those which are exhibited pos
sess the attraction of novelty. What is missing is
the machinery, which, matter of course, here
tofore presented itself at each Fair, and which was
not attractive owing to the fact that every person
was familiar with its workings Taken, however
as whole, the Fair is great success.
The following is the programme for to-day:
At9 A. NJ, exhibition and examination of Alder.
neys, native and grade cows and heiters, milch
cows, fat cattle and working oxen. At 10 O'Clock
A NJ, Judges upon sheep of all classes swine pou

their duties. At l0% o'clock A. NJ, exhibition anC

horses and jacks. At l o'clock p. NJ, exhibition

1t is to be hoped that the weather to day will b.
more favorable than that of yesterday, and if so
there will no doubt be an immense conceurse o
people on the grounds. Mr.. Merryman, Maio
