literally began with the second day as
the first but our report will consider
Tuesday as the
FIRST DAY.
The first day opened with cool and cloudy
weather.but without rain. Peoples feel
fngs Of hope and fear We're highly change
able, owing to the varying aspect of the
sky-sometimes beautiful sunlight, and in
a mOmen all would be cloudy.
This u~nfavorable state of the weather,
however, did not seem to keep our farmers
/ and other nom bringing in articles for ex-
hibition. We visited the grounds in the
afternoon, and found much more cheer
ing prospect than we expected We left
about 4 p. m, and at that hour there were
about SOC entries, and many more were to
be made. The receipts were also in ad-
vance Of those of the first day Of last year.
SECOND DAY.
Ten O'Clock found the clouds scattered
and the sun shining beautifully. and the
day proved as lovely as could be desired,
showing wisdom Of the non-postpone-
ment of the Fair. There was a large crowd
present, made up almost entirely Of per-
from the country. Public onVey
ances are decidedly numerous this year,
and from "early morn till deWy eve" the
/ peculiar cry Of b drivers can be heard

the show of stock is very dne, u to tor-
mer years, and in some respect superior.

a noble animal. Through the whole class
