FIRST DAY,


tt5 eil n y'nhWEDsEspAY, Sept seth, 1885,
! The weather is again clear and pleas
ant, which contrastcd with that Of the
past fOuE-weeks, which has been cloudy
and dreary, IL a luxury that cannot be
too highly appreciated for all occasion
/ like this, when all meet together in open
/ air for pleasure and profit. There has
been very decided change in the APP
\ pearance of things here, compared with
one year ago. The ground (2s acres.) has
\ been enclosed by high tight board
I fence, and tt is we'll arranged on the in
side. New and commodious stalls have
been erected and pens built for the ac-
c0mmodation of all kinds Of stock. The
| track is smooth and level with a gradual
curve, forming a circle half mile in
circumference. In fact, everything has
been arranged and fitted up in manner
equal to anything that we have seen in
the State, which is highly indicative of
the thrift and energy of the Society.
There was an unusual throng at the
Secretary's stand by those making en-
tries, and the farmers were continually
pouring in with stock, vegetables, poul-
try, &C, the mechanics with their wares,
and all promised to be complete sne-
cess.

and health-giving, and there is already

were called, and various kinds of bust
ness transacted, after which the several
committees are filled and organized
when the directors meeting is adjourned
and it ia announced that an hour will be
given for dinner. And here might be
mentioned that there We're in the enclo
sure two commodious eating saloons
furnished by private enterprise, where
those who wished could satisfy their APP
