Serious Interference with the
Arrangements by the In
clement Weather.
Political Meetings Last Night.

ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEGRAPH.
EAsToN, Sept ga drenchlng rain set in
early this morning and seriously interferes with
the arrangements for the fair. Hundreds of
persons we're buddled together at the hotels,
under awnings, ETC., looking wistfully at the
pouring rain. 1t is the prevalent opinion that
the present is not fair weather, and there is
much talk OF extending the time of the fair il
foul weather continues. grand cavalcade
parade of fremen, etc., has been prevented by
circumstances over which the clerk of the
weather only exercises control.
An immense Geary meeting was held here last
night, at the Circle, and there was fine speaking
and much enthusiasm. The Clymerites hell a
meeting at the upper end OF Northampton street,
and had fireworks, but the people seemed to
think they could see rockets better at a distance,
and consequently scarcely anybody was present
at the latter meeting.

The Bucks County Agricultural Fair.

NEwTowN, Pa, September 25.-The exhibition
OF the Bucks County Agricultural Society began
to-day upon the extensive grounds recently fitted
up at this place.
The entries of stock, implements, and agri-
cultural and household products are larger than
ever before, and in quality and variety the dis
play has never been equalled in this country.
The fruit and vegetable departments are particu-
larly good. About twice the number of horses
are on exhibition. The dairy stock will be ex-
hibited tomorrow, when at least 200 head are
expected.
The receipts thus far have been satisfactory.
Tomorrow will be the great day of the Exhi-
bitlon.
