Agricultural Society will be held at Indian-
apolis, commencing % Monday, Sept. Goth,
and continuing until Oet 4th. Tnis fair is
open to competition from other States, and it
is especially hoped that the entries of stock
of all kinds will be large. The premium list
is very liberal-nmounting to 5000, and will
be paid in cash. bronze and silver medals aud
diplomas. All the railroads centering at Iu-
diauapolis have agreed to run excursion trains,
carrying passengers at half fare, and all arti-
cles and animals at full fare One way, aud re-
turn free. The grounds have been fitted up
in q most substantial manner, and nothing has
been left uDdone to render the Fir a per
feet SUCCESS. We hope that as our own State
Fair this year has fallen through, Illinois will
be well represented at Indianapolis. AnBin.
formation concerning the Fair, may be obtain

THE WORLDS HORsE FAIR.
Exciting Races and Scenes In the
Ring.
THE GRAND BUFFALO HUNT,

4 hot sun came out, and in the early morn
ing the weather was close and sultry, every
tbirg standing at ssdead heat" Later,
breeze sprang up just enough to stir the mo.
tionless air.
The attendance in the morning was not
large, the matches Of speed, which occurred
mostly i'll the afternoon, proving the greatest
attractions. The Executive Committee met alta
late hour, and the first class On the programme
was called.
THOROUGHBRED BROOD MARES.
Best thoroughbred brood msres with aample OF
stock, fret premium Slo0; second, $50; third,
In this class several entries were msde, but
the committee refused to pass upon the 9th
er6 upon the ground that they had not yet
been proven with foal, and the premium was
awarded to Kitty, one Of the Dorsey stock.
TRoTT1SG HORSES.
Fastest trotting horse. Gsldtng or Fillg, to har-
nefR, Uhich has never trotted hef're for money on
1hi1d, $1e0. |19'DN >'''9' '~'''
The balance Of the morning was occupied
by the Executive Cousulittee In settling points
connected with the exhibition ia this cll5s
Several questions arose f''r discussion, which
we briefly note fer the benefit Of exhibitors
who may already have left the ground. and of
the public generally.
F5rst-What is meant by the terms stregular
| course." The Committee decided that il was
not confined to regular trotting tracks, With
distances, weights, purses, &c, but included
the tracks Of fair grounds as veil.
Ia this decision they are supported by
| Wilkes Spirit oftae Times.
Second-Nhat time is referred to in the ey.
! preston 'tnever trott-d before upon regular
| course?' The decision was made that all
horses were eligible which were free to eatet
at the comm=Dcemant Of the Fair, and that
matchtss, etc, occurring after that time, did
not exclude.
The Justice Of this decision Is too obvious
TO need commen', tfe entry books being theI
open, and q horse eligible to enter could no,
