) HAMBURG July II, 1863
The great exhibition is fairly opened. Inc nag
of all nations were thrown to the breeze at l0 O'Clock
on Tuesday morning, July 18th, amid the booming OF
cannon and the shouts of twenty thousand people,
The exhibition of animals is very large, and the de-
partmeut embracing the machinery is by no means
neglected.
The hospitality of the people 'of Hamburg is un-
bounded, and banquets, dinners and breakfasts are
furnished to the Commissioners to an Unlimited
tent.
On Sunday a magnificent breakfast was provided
for the guards in the banquet hall, on the exhibition
ground On Monday an elegant dinner was given
the Commissioners at Streits Hotel. More than
three hundred sat down to this entertainment.
Speeches were made by representatives, from all
the European States-but tho only ones made IN the
English tongue were made by Mr.. Wright, Col.
Needham of the United States, and Professor VIII
son, of England.
On Thursday the Commissioners were invited to
a banquet the Saxona, and II is understood that
on Monday they will be entertained TO u lunch BY
the King of Hanover
| This Friday evening" the Americans have a supper
at the Hotel De Russe-to which all Americans and
their wives aresnvied.

ever made in Europe. More than seventeen hun.
dred have been entered. France England and all
| the German States are largely represented. The
United States are represented in this department by
twelve sheep from the State Of Vermont They
are from the flock of George Campbell esq, OF that
State. 1t is "a matter of no small honor to the
United States aud Vermont In particular, that these
twelve sheep have taken three prizes-two hrst aud
one second. The two first were in the class for
bucks, one for quality and one for quantity. The
fha for hgfh
and quality. The amount Of the lat prizes IL fifty
thalers each equal TO thrty.cgbt dollars 10 Amer'
can gold. The entry of twelve American sheep
was made public through the prefs OF GeTmany
several weeks before the Fair, aud IT was regarded
as a great joke that America should for moment
think of competing with Germany IN sheep But
tim competition has been eminenily successful-and
the long faces of the other exhibitors indicate Their
mortihcalOu and disappointment. All honor 10
America and particularly TO Vermont, through
whose influence these sheep here, and these lau-
res for America won. Vermont has shown much
enterprise III this matter; che was the first State TO
appoint a Comm ssioner, and has shown most com.
mendable activity throughout. The Hon. Daniel
/ Needbam, Commissioner from Vermont, has been
uniiringly industrious in behalf OF America. Two
American gentlemen only, were hOnored with POSI-
tions the juries-Mr. Baldwin, OF New-fork, ana
/ Col. Nee,d dham. oi Vermont.
! Open dissatisfaction being expressed that two Of
the rt rriles for sheep should be awarded to Amer
lea, Colonel Needham, Commissioner from Vermont,
uropO.ed sweep isAkes for the heaviest ncece, The
weight Of the sheep being taken into account, the
Jury to be appointed by the Association, the sheep 10
be sheared ON the ground. COlOael Needbam pro-
posed 10 be oue of ten TO make up one hundred dol
lars for premium. and Mr.. Campbell the successful
exhibitor, proposed 10 be another; but The 6efman
and French exhibitors declined the swecpsiase'
thus cnfrmng the justice OF the decision IN favor of
America.
Tho awards TO American machinery are quite
large considering how meHger the exhibition from
/ America is Our manufacturers made a great mis-
take IN not making larger contributions al Europe
has representations here 20 purchase agricultural
imrlements aud machinery and II is well known
that America can beat the world in lghlness and
cbeapuess oi machinery.
