MONDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1866.

The central building of the Lake County
Fair Grounds is largo tive story edifcs
for the exhibition Of Vegetables, Frui b
Flowers, Domestic Manufactures, Dairy
Products, Fine Arts, Fancy Articles, etc.
The second story is reached by broad
flights Of steps and landing outside the
building. The interior above is tAstily ar
ranged, with due regard to the conven-
fence of exhibitors and visitors. This is
the attractive resort, and go thronged that
our notes must be brief as well as imper-
feet. tE "a.
Messrs. d. N. & s. E. Carter, who won
the red cards for Lake county on cheese at
the State Fair, make q foe display OF their
Factory and Ohio State Dairy Cheese.
They again have first premiums. Mr.. O.
Hntchins, Leroy, also exhibits good cheese.
Lake is famous as q fine fruit county,
but this season suffered greatly from un-
timely spring frosts, very rare occur
renee. Still the display of grapes and sp-
pies is tempting. The principal exhibitors
are q. Huntington, Painesville; E. j. Fer
ris and NJ. Carroll, Concord j. II. Tryon,
Willoughby; L. @. Divine and F. Parker,
Mentor, ana J. W. Cook, Perry. Mr..
Tryon. has large display of luscious
grapes from his extensive vineyard on
+ Willous hby Hlll-the largest and fairest
clusters we have seen this season. He
cultivates the Oatawbs, Isabella, Delaware,
Concord, Diana, Aliens Hy brid, Rebeccs,
Hartford Prolific, Adirondac, Creveling,
and DIR. Grants new seedlings, the Iona and
and lsraells. His vineyard escaped frost
and disease this season, and the bearing
vines are literally loaded with fruit for the
table and wine press. We are unable to
give The list Of frult premiums.
The show of specimen Grains and Seeds |
is good, and the Vegetable Department far |
outstrips the late State Fair. Lake county |
Potatoes have wide reputation for guam
tity and quality, and they are well repre- |
sented at the County Fair. Multitudes of |
cur brave boys at the front and in hospit- |
ais had occasion TO bless Lake county |
potatoes, for during the war the Ladies
Soldiers Aid Society of Northern Ohio
as we'll as other Agents of the Sanitary |
Commission, forwarded thousands upon
thousands of bushels for distribution in the
Union Army. Among the many exhibi-
tors in this department. we notice the fre-
quent cards of NJ. l. Root, gainesville,
and Mrs. A. Church, Concord.
Those we'll known Nurserymen, Messrs.
Storrs & Harrison, gainesville, have con-
tributed much of taste and beauty to the
Fair from their greenhouses and grounds.
Their display of choice leaved green house
plants is rich and rare, and the collection
Is quite large. There is handsome display
Of bouquets and cut flowers, coxcombs, &c,
and we see that Mrs. A. Church, Concord,
who took some thirteen premiums on as
many entries at the late State Fair, has
again robbed her garden and yard TO lend
beauty to the home Fsir.
The women of Lake are workers, and the
display in the Domestic department. is cred
table. We are unable to psrticulsrize
urther than to note that among the cards
N domestic manufactures we observed the
requent names of Mrs A. and Mrs. q.
Anderson, Concord, Mrs. w. Crane,
gainesville, Mrs. A Church and Mrs. Seth
Anderson, Concord. Fine Arts, Musical
and Fancy Articles attracted
% much attention, as to preclude any tax
ng of notes for the printer.
Though interested on the Fair Grounds
Intl evening, we must devote few lines
