Hamilton County FnIr-seoond Day.

machinery, the competition was not more |
lively thsn on the day previous. Three or
four entries OF plows, two OF feed-cutters,
three of cider mile, one or two of cutiva-
tors. two of reapers and mowers. one OF two |
of harrows and clod crushers, one drill for |
cloyerseed, and one for wheat, constituted |
the whole stock entered |t
The fruit department was well filed by |
specimens, among the most elegant in ap- |
pearance, and delicious in taste of any we |
have ever seen. The collection embraces |
selections from orchards of all the principal |
horticulturists in this vicinity, many of |
whom have devoted twenty or thirty years |
of their lives exclusively to the improve
ment of fruit and the result Of their labors,
as exhibited in this instance, is truly graft
flying especially to such as have long expe-
rienced the difficulty of procuring first-class
fruit in our markets. The labors of these
men have abundantly proved that Hamilton
and the adjoining counties, IN Ohio and
Kentucky, are peculiarly adapted to the
raisingof fruit trees and vines and it is only
necessary to avail ourselves of our natural
advantages to rival the most favored coun-
tries in Europe.
Although the samples Of agricultural pro-
ducts were not numerous, they were gener-
ally of q superior character, and included
corn, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat,
oats, barley, water-melons, pumpkins, &c,
were exceedingly meager -indesd, with
three or four commendable exceptions, they
were entirely unworthy of notice, a circum-
stance to be regretted, as the specimens ex-
bibited at fairs are usually taken, by persons
from abroad, as an index of the StdtbS, of ag-
rieulture and manufactures in any given
place.
The floral departmeneis iudicative.of taste
on the part of those who contributed to and
arranged it, and will nake favorable inn
preston upon strangers The cultivation of
flowers can not be too highly commended
The approaching United States Bair has
evidently eeutribated todiminish the general
interest felt in thecounty exhibitions; as few
persons desire to incur the trouble and ex-
pense incident to competition in both cases.
This, together with the fact that the me-
chanics' exhibition has practically withdrawn
all manufactured articles, has rendered. the
Hamilton County Fair Of this yeap-a matter
of comparatively triffing Importance except
| as a place of competition for live stock,
which is easily taken TO and from tie ground.
A great increase in the attendance is ex-
| pected to-day, and tomorrow, the advent of
| Mons. BlOndin will insure crowded arena.
| This agile performer will walk from the top
of Frank Weatherby's refreshment saloon,
"White Hail." to the amphtheateF more
than 1900 feet, or 400 feet further than he
ever walked before. The feat will be an ex-
traordinary one, but there is no doubt that it
will be successfully performed
But little general interest was manifested
in the result of the competition, except in the
case ofthe match horses-roadsters- which
four spans were entered; tba prize was finally
carried off by A: T. Nichols, Of Cynthiana,
| Kentucky, much to the ehagrin of a large
number whose interest, or State pride, in
duced them to wish the award otherwise.
