good one. There was fine show
of native cows and calves, and we
should Judge that it would puzzle the
committee to decide upon the best,
among so many good ones. The
calves of G. G. Doty, A. Cass and W.
J. Hastings were particularly notice
able. The show of horses and colts
was very large and good, but as we
had not time to examine them particu-
larly we do not know whose were best
but suppose the various committees
found out. Among the sheep the
Merinos took the lead in numbers, and |
were well represented. Messrs. Col |
Inns and Bullock exhibited some speci- |
mems of fall blood and grade Cots
woldS, which attracted considerable |
attention Among Mr.. Collins lambs
was one six months and three DAYS
old, with wool eight inches long-hav-
ing averaged growth Of one and one
fourth inches per month since birth. |
He also exhibited buck lambs same
age, weighing over one hundred lbs.
each; among them a pair of twins
We should have said while speaking
of cattle that the show of oxen and
steers was good. Several pairs of the
oxen weighed from $500 to 1000
The yearling steers Of Mr.. Scott, rails
1 ed upon skinned milk and his early
cut hay, are certainly Il strong argu-
ment in favor of his method of cutting
his hay early, and having warm stab
ling for his cattle. These steers are
natives and have had no grain Or roots
Of any kind, raised solely on sour
milk and hay, and have run out to
grass this summer. Their weight is
2062 pounds. OF swine there were
some fine specimens of the White Ches.
ters-the only breed represented.
The new town house was used as a
floral and mechanics hall, and The first
} day was we'll filled with the products
OF the needle, the pencil, the dairy
and the soil, to1 ether with several
labor saving mechanical contrivances,
, all OF which should have remained
until the close of the fair. but much
} was carried off the first night, still
having quite a creditable show in this
department. la short the whole fair
was a decided success; and the re.
} ceipts ample to pay all premiums
awarded, and all other expenses of
the society.
