afternoon of the second day to display some
good trottlng. All together at the WORD go
the furious racers rushed abreast, ASIDE atm

With flowing tail and flying name,
With nostrils widely stretched they came.
The three best In five was the rule and upon

the straw.horse was declared entitled to the

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

We looked forward to our County Fair this
year with more than ordinary interest. The
complete overthrow of wicked rebellion which
penlled the very existence of all our great ma
tional pursuits, had left our people free to turn
their minds with vigor to agricultural and me-
chanical labors. The soldiers have returned to
every town, to every district and to many
home within our own midst, adding numbers
and energy to all onr business departments.
Again the introduction of new and valuable
features into our fair raised not little our ex-
pectations. The chief of these was the Grafton
whereby we gave attention to the heads and
the hearts of the people by instruction and en-
enlargement in addition to the usual exercises.
The equesrianism of ladies', the additional pre-
miums for the display Of one of our noblest
productions, the horse, with the determination
to give full and proper attention TO truly thor
ough bred stock, each and ALL promised in
creased success to our county exhibitions.
Wednesday and Thursday of last week, the
days of the fair were cold and sometime cloudy
but rainless. Early upon Wednesday the
throng began to arrive, the roads were crowd
ed and soon in every direction from the fair
ground for nearly mile the way-sdes and
fields were filled with horses and vehicles of
every description. Hundreds of horses and
carriages especially of the class adapted to
pleasure riding passed in, upon the enclosed
grounds of the fair. The number of people
present exceeded that of any previous fair. Cal
culating from the receipts of entrance, making
due allowance for the number admitted upoI
family tickets and we find from four TO fv,
thousand present.
The ladies of Fayetteville had large ten
and furnished refreshments to the multitude
the proceeds of which were to be applied Il
some philanthropic purpose. Many other tent
were there, for the sale of fruits and eatables
The irrepressible yankee pedler with every va
riety of knick-knicks held his appropriate nook
The band under Prof. Merrill of Below
Falls discussed beautiful music to an ever ad
mirng crowd; The exercises of the band can
not be too highly spoken Of Their executio
did honor TO the fair and to themselves, an
were highly appreciated by all present.
: Turning now from these general subjects il
/ cident to the fair, to the display in the sever
departments we will begin with the show
cattle. Competent judges declared the exhib
J ton of really fine cattle to be superior to th
/ of any previous fair. This desirable result w
brought about by the noble contributions
