VEGETABLES.
In this department there was q very
fiue show of almost all varieties. We
cannot mention all who contributed to
this ample display, and very likely we
may omit some we'll worthy of notice.
A monster squash, weighing 1913
pounds, is well worthy to head this list,
but we do not know by whom it was
raised. There were many other large
squashes, one of tho best of which was
raised by Manly Heeley. Henry Hope
exhibited some fine Fluke potatoes; John
BeardsIey, some California potatoes,
very large, also some beautiful Prince
Alberts; A. F. Shattuck had some Lin
coin (Old Abe) potatoes, mammoth fell
lows, looking as if they were bound to
win the biggest prize, also some Sambo
Douglas) potatoes, rather gfimy chaps,
"small potatoes" at the best. Mr.. Shat
tuck also exhibited some fine Peach Blow
potatoes. A. Huddleston had some SUI
perior Early Pink potatoes; P. V. Wise,
some fine sweet potatoes; G. M. Stafford,
some excellent Jersy Peach Blows. D.
B. Bailey exhibited two bushels of large
Prince Aiberts, all produced from sin
gle potato. NJ. D. Proctor showed six
varieties of potatoes, Nova Scotia, Jenny
Lind. Davis Seeding, Granite State
Prince Albert, and variety which
must be remarkably active and ambi-
tious, MS they ripen in six weeks. Mr..
Proctor took in a large amount of vege-
table products, comprising several yarie-
ties of corn, and some very large beets,
onions and melons. His lot of melons
took the first premium, and as We have
just finished eating one of the lot, weigh
ing twenty four pounds, 1--WE did not eat
it alone Jour judgement is that tie commit
tee made just decision. G. w. Nc
Murphy showed several varieties of po-
toes. D. B. Bailey showed some fine
corn and pumpkins; Albert Smith some
good dent corn and very large pump
kins one nearly three feet in length. Ry-
an Gray showed some gerry large beets
and cabbages; E. P. Smith, some fine
beets, citrons and onions; S. A. Green,
some large cabbages and onions that
had any amount of bad breath in them !;
]. d. Wilton, had excellent corn of diff
erent varieties: 0. T. Maxon, CARROTS
and corn of several varieties; G. f. Hoyt,
had very fine lot of corn, onions and
melons; VIM. Costello some very large
dent corn; I. Z. Maynard some good corn
and potatoes; A. A. Young, bushel Of
very large boets. A coed many lots of
fine tomatoes were on exhibition, but we
have not room to mention them sever
ally. AS whole, the show in this de-
partment was one for the exhibitors and
the county to be proud OF.
HORSES.
Owing to the State of the weather on
the second day, the display of horses was
not large, but some very good stock was
on the ground. PAINE CONVERSE, Esq,
entered fine pair Of cream celored mares,
which took the first premium as roadsters.
A span of chestnut horses, entered by
Huron Doe, took tho first premium AS
carriage horses. J. w. BEARDsLEy enter
ed span of light greys, which took the
first premium as matched horses; tic
second was awarded to span Of black
horses, entered by E. N. REDMoN.--
These spans were very evenly matched,
but the grcys being superior moving
horses, received the first honors.
w. WEsrFALL entered fine black
four year old horse, wide awake, fine
moving fellow, who took the first pre-
MUM as buggy horse. Some breeding
mares were entered, but we have not the
names of the owners. Several three year
old colts were on the ground, none Of
very superior quality. There was good
display of two year old colts, one fine
chestnut, owned by ALBERT SMITH, alsc
good bay, owned by W. J. Corr
There was a fine bay sucking colt, enter
ed by S. w. Dickerson. There wer'
several stations, but the display of thi
class was not good Several Of the bes
