~ THE FAIR.-The County Fair opened
most auspicously on Tuesday. At that
time moro than three times the number
of entries had been made than SO early
on any previous year; and now, Wednes-
day noon, tie competition in every class
is far in excess of any former Fair-some
classes being doubled and thribbled and
even quadrupie<l. We have no time to
particularise, but notice with pleasure
the great improvement in the exhibition
of stock and the products Of the farm,
garden aud orchard. The Hall is filled
aud more than filled; and is a credit to
both Society and exhibitors. The at
tendance to-day is all that could he de-
sired; and the present favorable weather
continuing, the result will be great
success to the Society financially and
every way.
We are not positive, but think we are
justified in stating that the exhibition
will be continued Oh Friday; when, n
such is the case, much Of novelty and in-
terest will be brought out.
