SpRIyGrlRLp, O., September 1.-THE
third day of the State fair has been a
marked success. '-s The attendance
reached nearly $1,000. The exhibition
of draught stations over six years old
was one of the fines. ever seen in the
State, and the committee declared 1t
uneoualled on the continent. Twenty
five horses competed for the premiums.
Fifteen were imported, and they were
mostly Normandy stock. The commit
tee spent an hour and half in coming
to a decision. The first premium was
awarded to Belgian, owned by David
Shaw; second premium to Napoleon !;
The fourth premium was recommended
to Prince Imperial, owned by the
Marion Importing Company. In the
roadster class Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr., took
the first premium. The exhibition OF
short horned cattle was very spir,
tied In the classes of COWS and
bulls there were nearly forty entries.
R. R. Seymour, of Ross county, took
the first premium for aged bull, and
VIM. Warfeld. Of Kentucky for the
best COW. = rEEE Efi-
The Fair is now in full operation.
Fruit is unusually well represented,
mostly from Northwestern Ohio. The
award to reapers and mowers, reserved
since the trial at Mansfield, was made
to-day. The Champion" takes the
premium as reaper, the Buckeye as
mower. and the Hubbard" as com
bined machine.
The railroads are busy transporting
passengers, and some trains to-nigh
were delayed.
