Our Agricultural Fair.
The Annual Agricultural Festival

The Annual Agricultural Festival
for our county has again transpircd,
and we have the pleasure Of rcpoi :
ing to our readers that this has
been the most interesting occasion
of the kind that has occurred in
our county since the organization
of our Agricultural Society. True,
the receipts fell below what they
were last year; but this is the re-
suit OF radical change in the mode
of admission tickets, as well as to
the fact that no entrance fee was
charged to exhibitors. The gate
arrangement met with disapproba
ton from a great many persons,
who in consequence avowed their
intention not to attend the Fair,
and we suppose they adhered to
their pre.determination. Notwith-
standing this barrier to complete
success financially the exhibition
itself was decidedly a success; and
when we say that the exhibition of
Stock, taking it altogether, was the
best that has ever been exhibited
on these Grounds, we believe we
but speak the sentiments of all who
took the pains to examine the stock
critically,
The Hogs, as we stated last week,
were the best that have ever been
shown at any Fair in the State.
The fine herds of Cattle of Thorn
as Kirk, Jesse Heagler, Haymaker,
Dewitt, Hays and others, take them
in all respects, have probably never
been excelled at this Fair Ground,
if they have been equalled.
The show of Horses, too, was
equal to any we have ever had and
.he Sheep, though few, were of the
best bloOds.
The season was too early for as
good display of Agricultural and
Horticultural products as our coun-
y will be able to show a month Ia
,er; but even these we're fair.
The Ladies had a fair showing of
What can be done in their depart
nent. The fine arts were credila-
,ly represented.
There was quite fine display of
inc Buggies, Harness, Saddlery,
mechanical products, &c, &c, but
We have not time to mention all,
nd bestow upon each the notice to
Which their merits entitle them.
In conclusion, we have to say to (
hose who did not attend, that they
enied themselves q rich treat s
he weather was all that could have !
cen desired, and the vast multitude
eemed to enjoy the full measure of
'y and happiness usually desirable
pom gala day and occasion like
lis.
May the arrangements of oqr
ext Fair be unobjectionabie, so
lat all may share in the joys of {
ur Annual reunion and festal oc-
lsion, is the fervent wish of the
ditors of the HERALD. {
