Inc success OF tne LanolIle 70. ABl
cultural Society has become fixed fac
President and Directors, who had the ma
agement of the society this year SCENE
to be men that had not only the desil
but the ability to conduct this great Ell
terprise successfully.
The Fair that has now closed, far c,
celled the most saDguino expectations I
its most ardent friends. We were on ii
ground at an early hour and found th
officers promptly at their respective post
actively engaged in preparing for til
great work before them, which was 500
upon their hands - the day promising
be all they could desire-and at an earl
hour the streets were crowded full of car
riages and horses, cattle and sheep, al
vending their way to the fair grounds
The secretaries were actively engaged i,
registering stock and filling out certificate
of membership until long way into tn
afternoon.
The first day was mostly devoted to thu
exhibition. and examination by the com
mitteess, Of stock; the representation o.
which was large in numbers and rich in
variety. The celebrated herd of A. W.
Griswold, which is the best herd of short
horns in the state, was on the ground and
formed one of the most pleasing attract
ions. Noah Scribner, of Johnson, exhib.
tied pair of fancy oxen that attracted
much attention. They were thought
to weigh 1000 pounds, and are perfect an
nimals. VIM Wade and R. r. Wait, of
Stowe, had each pair of 4-years old OK
en- which were as perfect animals as can
be found,- they each draw the first pre-
MUM in their class. L. H. Doty had his
famous Durham bull and full. blood Dur.
ham COW, which are the very best stock
for dairy purposes in the county. Hiram
Dodge and Hon. Alger Jones each exhib.
ted yearling Durham bull that won the
palm in their class. They will be a great
acquisition to the, dairy stock in the dis.
riots where they are kept. Mr.. Jones bull
lrew the first premium, though it would
&c hard to decide between the two. taking
nto account the difference there is said to
&c between them. Horace Goodwin Of
ohnson, showed fine Devon bull. one
ear old, that was highly spoken CT. Ma
y fine cattle were on the ground, but
zone that deserved attention more than
pair of steer calves, weighing 1900 lbs
perfect in form and match.
In horses there was large representa-.
ion of as fine horses Of their age as can
re found in the state -Morrills, Morgans
Black Hawks and Abdallahs, were all
cpreseuted. We saw one colt out of the
J. d. Smith horse BLACK Hawk breed)
hat was an animal of great promise
ur attention was called to two pairs of
plendidly matched horses from Stowe,-
ne owned by A. H. Slayton, and the 9th.
r by John Campbell, (which for style
nd action, were equaied by none D. G.
iardy of Hydepark, drove pair of we'll
latched 4-years old black colts that are
estined to make their mark in the world.
iii Edison of Stowe, exhibited finely
latched pair of 4-years Odds that showed
God training. A. W. Spaulding of Nor
lsville drew the first prize on his young
tallion, "Gen. Grant" 4 years oil; of
lack Hawk blood, and horse of yery
eslrable points as a stock horse. He is
young horse that has got to earn his rep.
tation yet as stock horse, but will.
ithout doubt fully sustain the enviable
'putation of his noble grand sire.
The several awarding committees hav.
g made their awards, we will give below
le result.-A nd thus ended the first dav
the Fair. |
