Ollie sfnte Fair.
THIRD DAY.

success. Ine grounds were crowded al dayy
the little appearance of rain in the morning
keeping none away. In these times of war
and bloOdshed, when the arts Of peace are at
a discount, the State Board Of Agriculture
nay consider themselves fortunate to have so
good an exhibition and so large an attend
anee. The agriculture of the State must be
in a healthful condition, as is proved by the
exhibition. We can cultivate the arts Of war
successfully and not stop our annual exhibi-
ton Of the arts Of peace. Had our Fair been
failure, the news of it in Dixie would have
been as good as a victory to them.
To-day has been busy one for Commit
tees, and though a few who could not draw
the red or blue cards felt a little disappointed,
yet as a general rule there has been satisfae-
ton to exhibitors. Every one is apt to think
his own stock best, and in his own eyes there
is no fault in it, but awarding committees do
not always look through the same eyes.
HORSES.
Horses Of all work came before the Com
mittee to-day. Of the stations four years
old and over there were about twenty in the
ring, many Of which we're old favorites with
the public. The Sykes horse, who is the sire
of more than one thousand colts, and one of
the best horses for endurance and power in
the country, still looks in as good a eondi-
fion as ever. Of the mares belonging to this
class there we're only seven over four years
old, several Of which we're from the farms Of
the celebrated stock breeders of Jefferson
scunty. Mr.. Ladd took the first premium
in this class for fine mare bred from his
Champion Black Hawk. This marc is bay,
large and strong, and can draw not only the
plow and carriage, but 90 under the saddle.
There is no class Of horses more valuable
than those for work, and especially those for
all kinds Of work, and we cannot prize them
too highly Gentlemen who own fast horses,
but such as are fit for nothing only fast driv-
ing, though they usually attract more atten-
ton, and draw higher premiums, really have
little value compared with the work horse
The second premium in this class went to
Mr. J. Fuller Of Columbus, for a marc with
about the same style as Mr.. Ladd's. Of the
horses and mares under four years old of this
class there were some very excellent ones.
CATTLE.
DEYOEs.-This breed of cattle are not in
such large quantities as some others. Mr..
Toms, of EIyria takes the first premium on
bis bull I" Chippewa, 4 years old, and
vs-y fne animal. Mr. DiIly, of Euclid, took
the 5, '<end premium for an animal good
enough. We think we have rarely seen bet
ter Devon lis than these two at any Fair.
sHonr Hosys.-NOthing can at all com
mare with this brs ID Of cattle for magnif-
esn.o ana. beauty of al L'oeaTanee. Ofthe bulls,
there was very fine sho~. Short horn men
from Greene, Fayette and o. her counties did
nobly in bringing their stock Il the Fair
Ten bulls, aged four and over, besides good
many young ones, pure red, or Weite or
rOane in color, with such develOpment oil
adipOse dssure, such perfection of form; 50
large, as might make the owners proud of
almost any one of them.
HEREFoRDs.-A very fine Hereford bull was
on the ground, but 20 premiums are given for
this breed of cattle.
Far CATTLE.-ThTee fat steers and two fat
ctFs were shown. A pair of the steers were
Here ford grades, years old, very fat and
Weighing 1900 One steer, four years old'
weiebipr 1880 pounds, deep red, rather
coarse. not rel l,Sarkably fat, grass fed except
in winter when he had grain. He was con-
sidered good enough to take the premium
To-day at ten o'clock there will be bat
tic for the sweepstakes, closely contested,
and the fine animals that will then come into
the ring win be worthy close selutiny.
POWER HALL.
An engine built by the Columbus Machine
Company, of twenty -fye horse power, drives
What little there is to drive in Power HaQ'
We had hoped to see more machinery for sa-
4inr labor. There is certainly enough Of 1t
in es,e country, and in war times when help
is scarce, there is as much need of it as in
time Of peace, when men wish to save their
muscle and work their brains.
WOOL.
The show Of wool, though net as large as
expected, was fair, considering that most OF
the wool is now cut Of the hands of the
growers. The show Of Deiaine wool is very
ans, exceeding in quality and desirableness
that of any previous fair. The COMMITTEES
called especial attention to the saKOny wool
belonging to Mr.. Hissey, Of Carrolton, Ohio
They also recommend as worthy Of attention
the Cashmere wool exhibited by the Gran
vile Cashmere goat breeders, for its fnenes
and beauty. The wool on exhibition viii b.
sold to-day at ten o'clock.
FINE ART HALL.
ybe great attraction at all Fairs, partieu
a.,ls, or the ladies, is the Hall where tn
snecime,7 rs of the fine arts are on exhibition
Tho show n that line is fully equal to an,
preceding H,air, while the Hall is more com
r,odiops better lighted and better fitted 70
the yurposes intended than any we have eve
ttnovn. 1t would require much spao
