and as we hope it will continue till
the close of the Fair at least. AS we
expected and had reason to antici-
pate,
THE CROWD
yesterday, was immense and drew
strongly on the facilities of the Rail
road Co., which were, however, equal
to the emergency, and the thousands
of people were carried to and from
the grounds in the most pleasant and
comfortable manner, the only in
convenience being the necessity of
many waiting one train later than
they deserved. There must have been
at least 5000 or 5000 people on the
grounds during the day, and all SEEM
ed to enjoy the exhibition, and the
very best feeling prevailed all day
Not only was the attendance from the
city large, but the country people at
tended en- masse and enjoyed the lux
ury of day in crowd where all con-
spired to amuse and interest.
We arrived on the grounds about
half past 10 o'clock, and found fine
display of animals in the
| STOCK RING,
And the vast multitude admiring
their beauty, their symetry, and
graceful carriage.
From the officers we learned that
on account of the absence of some of
the horned cattle entered, the exhibit
ton of that department had been
postponed until to-day.
The first exhibition of horses, the
interest in which seems on the in
crease, was of
THE REST SADDLE HORSES,
Seven entries, First premium-$10
and diplomatic Capt Gus Lemcke's
bay horse, Josh V. Throop; second
premium-$5 and diplomatic berry
Burnett.
Capt. Lemcke's horse is fine ami
NAL, and bors himself nobly in the
ring. He was soldimmediately after
being taken from the ring for $3.50,
and we are told his new owner was
offered $500 for him, but refused it.
The next exhibition was best geld

diploma, VIM. Forth's bay horse,
Glen. Second premium, 81 and di-
ploma, Major A. @. Rosekranz's roam
horse, General Sigel. Following these
were thorough bred stallions-six en-
tries This was a magnificent display
of fine stock, and, as they were exhib-
tied in the ring, we were not surprised
to see gentleman bear beautiful
bouquet to the owner of one of the
handsomest.
The judges, in this ring, were
Messrs. Londrigan, Bowman, and
Curry; and so admirable was the
style of all the horses, that they found
it necessary to call in Mr.. T. p. Roach,
of Pittsburg, gentleman of fine dis
elimination, to assist them to a de-
cision. The first premium was award
ed to Mr.. Lockets brown. Falcon, by
Lexington, six years old, $50 and di-
