The Crowd.
At an early hour the grounds commenced to
present an animated appearance. All Of the
streets leading 20 the grounds were crowded with
gaily dressed people vending their way on
foot, while vehicles Of every description and by
scores came from all directions, and deposited
their burdens at the gate BY II O'Clock there
were at least two thousand people assembled
upon the grounds. Many there were who In the
better days Of their loved old State attended these
fairs to peacefully compete in the products OF
the SOIL their skill in stock raising, and their sue
cess in mechanism and arts. Change Of circum-
stances were now noticed, and many absent races
recalled; but all seemed determined to remember
in silence If not to forget the things Of the past,
| and add each his or her mite to the enjoyment
| of the occasion, which, after nine long, weary
wears, had summoned them once more together
to compete as Of yore.
There was much TO interest and instruct, and
as fast as the people gained the grounds they dis
persed to view the objects on exhibition, and
passed the time pleasantly in inspecting the large
variety Of improved breeds Of stocks, the fine COL
lection OF useful machinery and agricultural i'm
plements, the delightful array OF household and
domestic manufactures, the mineral specimens,
T and the immense number Of agricultural produc-
tions.
