SECOND AND LAST DAY,
The second and last day Of the twenty
Grst annual exhibition of the Rutland
County Agricultural Society was
ushered in by bright sunshine whlch
continued throughout the entire oay'
and thus made up, to great extent, for
the Indictment weather Of the day pre-
vious.
Most of the articles entered for the eX-
bibition, which the rain Of Wednesday
dav prevented from being placed in the
apartments assigned for them, were upon
the grounds yesterday, and the display
in most of the departments was very |
good, and fully up to the expectations OF
the officers and friends Of the Society.
In Agricultural and Mechanics Hall
the exhibition was, perhaps, poorer than
in any other department, though we no.
ticed many fine specimens OF butter,
cheese, vegetables, sugar, honey, syrup,
agricultural and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
&C., &C., among which the entries of
! cheese by r. C. Wickham of Pawlet, j.
Engram of Rutland, and Don Baxter OF
| Tinmouth and those Of butter by j.
Enpram and A. F. Johnson Of Rutland
and Daniel Kimball of Clarendon at
tracted considerable attention. The
maple sugar and honey exhibited by Il.
H. Lincoln OF Shrewsbury and J. S. Hol-
den of Clarendon, and the syrup entered
by willard Smith of Shrewsbury, were
attractive features. In this department
we also noticed fine top carriage en-

The display of horses Of all kinds was
very full, and their stalls were thronged
with visitors throughout the day. Prom

many of his colts, (among which were
"Young Darkey," and two year ole
