THE FAIR, FRIDAY.

We give elsewhere an account of the
important features of the Fair Friday,
viz ; the trotting, and the award Of pre-
miums. We had intended to make fur
Their mention Of meritorious articles on ex-
hibition, and particularly of the eontribu-
lions of the ladies in Floral Hall, and GER
tain articles in Mechanics Hall but we
find them mentioned with the deserved
premiums and diplomas, in the list of
awards which we publish this morning.
On this account, and because of want of
space, we omit the notice we had pre-
pared. The attendance was very good
Friday, Notwithstanding the threaten
ing state of the weather, and the Fair, on
the whole, in view of the distracted con-
dition OF the country, may be considered
a success, and justifes the decision of the
board of directors in holding it.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER IS, 1862.
THE FAIR-THURSDAY.

Everybody was agreeably surprised at the
large attendance Of people on the Fair
Grounds Thursday. II had not at any time
been anticipated that either the exhibition
Or the receipts of the Society would be SO
large as in former years, and the Managers
were in some doubt, at first, as to whether
the interests Of the State and the Society
would not be best subserved by postponing
the Fair until another year. The convic-
ton however prevailed with them that in the
mid st of war of the magnitude Of the pres
emit, there is even more necessity of increas-
ing the agricultural productions OF
the country, than in ordinary tites Of
peace and tranquility, and as the result
has proved, they wisely determined to hold
the Fair. While the exhibition has been
meagre in some of the departments, the at
tendance has been greater than it was last
year. The number IN attendance yesterday
is variously estimated at from five to ten
thousand. The day was beautiful, and every.
thing passed of as well as could be wished
In the forenoon there was fine display 0,
horses upon the track, and several trials o.
speed were made, but the grand trot is to
take place to-day, when it is anticipated the
crowd will be as large as yesterday.
AT two o'clock in the afternoon, Hon
Horace Greeley was introduced to the vast
concourse assembled in front of the stand
by Col. Needham, in an eloquent and appro
pirate speech. Mr.. Greeley arose and after
the heartyapplause of the audience, delivered
the address, which we lay before our readers
in full.

THE TROT.

The trot for the sweeps takes Friday
was witnessed by vast number Of peo-
pie and was very exciting. The first
trial was between ''Draco," entered by
Mr.. Tucker of Cambridge, Mass. and
wellington entered by Mr.. Ballard of
White River junction, and Abe Lincoln,
entered by G. W. Noble.
Best two in three; won by Draco in
two strait heats.
Time: list heat, 2.53
I'd heat, PAT
The trial between geldings and mares
was more animating than that between
the stations. The following entries were
made:
Thomas Jones, Amherst, N. H., mare.
Messenger, 7 years old.
G. NJ Willard, gelding, Emperor, s
years old. 8f
M. Quinn, Rutland, mare, 10 years
old.
Best three in five. First heat awarded
by the committee to Messenger. Time
IA IL. The second was decided to be
"dead heat" between Messenger and
the Quinn mare. Time, 2.45. The
third heat was awarded to Messenger.
Time, 2.43. In all these trials, Messen-
ger and the Quinn mare were nearly neck
and neck. The friends of the Quinn
mare complained that the rules were not
regarded by the committee in making
their decision, and the mare was with
drawn at the close of the third heat, two
of which had been awarded to Messenger,
and the other held to be draw. We do
: not hold ourselves to be competent
judges in the premises, but we must con-
fess that though our sympathies in the
outset were with little Messenger, we
were sorry to observe that she did some
running as well as trotting, while the
Quinn mare in the two heats given to
Messenger, did nothing but plain, square
trotting. But we leave the matter to be
decided by those more competent than we
profess to be. The contest was very
close indeed, and both exhibited very fine
qualities of speed. We hear it is pro-
posed to trot them again according TO the
strict rules of the turf. Should the trial
come OF, it would excite much interest.

Wide thy lands in ruin lying;
Fierce the foe thy power defying;
While the saddencd hreezes signing

Net the power of strong resources;
But of loyal blood. that courses
