SECOND DAY
The unpropitious weather yesterday pre-
vented large attendance. There was 8
very good display in the various depart
ments-particularly in fruit and vegetables.

land, exhibits the Rebeccas.
J. R. Skid exhibits some fine peaches,
and Mcintosh, Cleland & Co., some beautiful
pears.
The exhibition Of vegetables was larger
and more excellent than any that we have
seen at any similar Fair. Where all are so
praiseWOrthy it is difficult to discriminate
and we can we'll imagine the confusion of
the judges, in attempting to award premi-
ums The table of the loftiest potentate of
Europe, was never graeed with vegetables
superior to those which are on exhibition at
the Fair. The largest collection Of vegeta-
bIes was exhibited by E. S. Willard. F. G.
Lewis, of Rockport, and Henry Binder, of
East Cleveland, made fine display of vege-
tables.
Among Agricultural Implements there is
nothing particularly new. Baldwin, De-
Witt & Co., made on extensive exhibition in
that line. ]. Henderson, of Cleveland, ex-
hibits his patent horseshoe. D. NJ. C. Par
ker, Of Cleveland, makes an extensive dis
play of various oils. L. N. Crosby, of Ash
tabula, exhibits a couple of tanning mills.
Domestic Hall is rather sIimly filed We
observed lot of brushes, manufactured by
the children of the Industrial School. There
are cashmere goods made by the German Man
ufacturing Company of this city; some ex-
ceIlent specimens of flannel cloth, plain and
plaid, made by Mrs. Anderson, Of Paines-
vile; 3 collection of blankets, mittens,
Woolen yarn &c, by Mrs. N. A. Robb, of
Olmsted. This lady, by the way, contributes
more to Fairs in this section Of the country
than any other lady whom we know. There
is hardly the usual display Of patch
work quilts, coverlids &C., in the department
Of Domestic Manufactures.
Fine Art Han is chiefly attractive on ac-
count of a collection of oil paintings-land-
scapes, portraits, &c.-from the studio Of Miss
C. L. Ransom. Henry Craig, of Cleveland,
exhibits some cases Of wax flowers, stuffed
birds, microscopes, &c. Miss Anna J. sked,

cabin, ingeneously constructed. Miss NJ. J
Robertson some specimens of moss work, also
some stuffed birds. Miss L. E. Holden ex-

exhibits three oil paintings. Miss Carrie
Loomis exhibits some canvas work, which is
quite good. Mrs. A. N. Church exhibits a
handsomely embroidered lamp mat. Miss
E. J. WosWiek exhibits some handsome
broadcIoth work.
S. N. Sanford, Of Cleveland, exhibits
cashmere goat, which attracts considerable
attention.
We had not time yesterday to look at the
horses, cattle, sheep, swine, &c. We shall
do so to-day. "CoI. Grayson," entered by
Mr.. William Potts, received the first premium
on thoroughbreds. He is probably the best
stallion now living. Several thousand years
ago, as the books tell us, there was horse
in Arabia that was nearly equal to the Col
onel," but since that time no horse has ap-
proximated to him.
The attendance at the Fair to-day will
doubtless be largeif the weather is good. The
following is the programme for to-day:
Draught Horses, Jacks and Mules will be
examined at 9 o'clock, An.
Grand Cavalcade of Premium Cattle in the

The entertainment on Saturday will be Of
a novel and interesting character. At half
past one o'clock, P. n, there will be display
representing the contrast between the cos
tunes and customs Of fifty years ago and
those of to-day. Following it will be bur
lesque exhibition, gotten up by both gentle
men and ladies, mounted, in which the best
'' make up" will secure prize Of $50, and
