About 300 head of Thoroughbred neat stock
have been entered in the Secretary's books,
chiefly from the principal thorough breeders of
the. New England States other than Maine,
and the Canadas. They may be classified as
follows: Short-horns. 81; Jerseys, 10; Ayr
shires, %: Herefords, 10: Devons, 80; Dutch.
%. Mr. Winthrop Chenery, of Belmont, Mass,
the great breeder of the latter class of stock,
will, it is said, enter his entire herd of 60 ami
mails. No one in the country has finer stock
and these will add greatly to the interest of the
exhibition. There are something overa10O en-
tries of horses, besides otting horses, which
are now arriving to be put in training. Among
the arrivals we notice the celebrated horse Gen.
Mcclellan, owned by the Messrs. Stoddard of
Brookline. Mass. Mcclellan is in charge of his
groom Dan Snow, who has had the care of him
for some time past. As the Canadas have
been invited to participate, no doubt we shall
have some fine stock from that section. The
track at the Park is now open to ali who have
entered their horses and bold, exhibitors tick
