Londonderry Fair.

Considering the lateness of the season
the short notice in which to make prep
arations, and an unfavorable day-storm
ing just enough to render it very un
pleasant over head and under foot,--i
was brilliant success. The display O
cattle, Thoroughbred, Graded and Ma
tives, was splendid. Horses were finely
represented. A very slim show of sheep
showing but little interest in that direc'
ton, how different from five years ago
when everything that wore wool was
highly priced; now, it must be extreme
ly nice to attract attention at all. There
were 81 yoke of oxen, and so head sin
gle, and 81 horses, many Of which only
needed to be seen, to appreciate their SUI
perior qualities. The string of oxen
from the north part of the town, COM
prising 30 yoke, drawing the Londonder-
ry Coronet Band, drew forth hearty
round of cheers when they came on the
ground. Adjoining towns did their part
| to add to the interest of the day, all be-
ing invited to participate. The Floral
and Mechanics hall was finely represent
ed, and the perfect jam of people con-
stantly there, showed that they apprecia-
ted the display. 1t was estimated there
were $500 people present, and many
good judges who attend state and county
fairs, admitted the display to be supe-
rior to many designed on larger scale.
They met with such success, that they
propose to continue them from year to
year. The following are a list of pre-
miums awarded
