Our County Fair.


healthy invigorating-neither too not nos too cold
So far, the auspices under which the new grounds,
and the enlarged Hall, were dedicated to the
cause of stimulating industry, enterprise and i'm
provement in all that renders an Agricultural
community prosperous and successful.
In speaking of the Fair generally, we should
call it a success. Though there was not as large
an exhibition in any of the Departments, as we
had hoped and rather expected to see, still, for
the times it WAS very good display of the pros
ducts of The Farm, the Garden, the Dairy, the
workshop and the Boudoir a very little effort on
the part ofour farmers might have doubled the
exhibition in almost any eparment-especlaiy
in tie stock Department Quite number of cat
tie and horses were on exhibition ana competing
for premiums, but we can count up any mum Der
equally worthy specimens of stock that were not
there.
The display of Fruits and vegetables, was still
more meagre, though the few specimens on exhi.
bition were probably equal to any in the County.
There might have been great many more COM
petltors, and a corresponding increase in exhibit
ton, but we are not going to complain find fault
with the Fair we did have, because it not bet.
y,
why the Fair was not more extensive and thus
rendered more attractive. The same reasons that
induced many of the State and County Societies
to forego their annual Fair entirely operated here
to prevent full turn out, by our farmers, gene
rally. of their stock and farm products.
Thus much as Introductory, to our more partic-
ular description of what we saw at the Fair. This
is enough to account for the comparatively small
number of entries in almost all the departments
As far as the number of people present ON Friday
was concerned, we believe we never saw larger
attendance at any Fair, the society ever gave. So
that pecHniarily, the Fair was decided success.
The number of horses of all kinds, on exhibition
and competing was quite large.
