Stafford. Besides these officers, there is
full complement of Superintendent
and other officers and each seems anxious
to overdo the other in extending courte-
sizes to exhibitors and visitors,
The attendance is large, every hotel and
private house being literally Jam full, ~
visitors being thicker than three in a
bed"
The number Of entries is very large,
and although much OF the stock and ar
ticles entered have not yet arrived there
is very good display at the grounds.
The horse department thorough breds)
is well represented, among the more no.
ticeable of which our attention was di-
rected to the Norton Horse, "Darkey,
owned by A. w. Parker, Esq, of Castle
ton. Darkey is one of the fast kind
and has the reputation Of string more
good trotting colts than any other horse
in Vermont He is u years old and can
do his mile in 2:27. Some Of Darkey 5
colts are on exhibition and are among
the finest on the ground included ia
these are a colt owned by Tilley and
Norton Of Tnmouth, Vt, a three veal
old owned by L. D. Harlow, ESQ. o
Claremont, N. H., which for style anc
beauty is unequalied by any horse or
the grounds, and several others of mi.
,, nor Importance. Mr.. Harlow also has
on exhibition a good-looking years ole
Of Black Hawk and Hambletoniar
/ stock, which makes good promise OF be-
coming EAST one. Among the othel
attractive trotters we noticed a stallion
of five years belonging to W. W. Cheney
Esq, OF Belmont, Mass; fine pair O.
matched "Morrill" horses owned by G
I. Howe of Ludlow, Vt; a Hambeton
ian colt owned by ]. R. Richardson o.

Among the noticeable running horses
present were fine imported Glencoe
horse, Is IL hands high, owned by Mr..
s. L, Atwood of Greenfield, Mass. This
horse was bred in New Orleans, and his
present owner has refused $4,000 for
him. Three fine running horses, by i'm
ported "Balrowine," the property Of w.
Fl. Cheney, Esq OF Belmont Mass.
were also on exhibition with many other
animals of lesser note.
In the cattle department, which is
well stocked, we could not help notice
ing a fine herd of devons, owned by E.
H. Hyde of Stafford, Conn, several Of
whom have taken, as am informed, the
first prizes wherever they have been ex-
hibited. Mr.. Hyde challenges the United
States and Canada to produce their
