play of stock, agricultural implements,
fruits, vegetables and textile fabrics wa
profuse, excellent and varied, and worthy
the noble people of that section. The Ex.
ecutive Committee of the Association Of
Warren county had been actively engaged
for the past month in making such i'm
provements upon the fair grounds as they
deemed essential to the comfort and con-
venience of exhibitors and visitors They
have been most judicious in the invest
ment Of the means placed at their dis
posal, making only such improvements as
were necessary to the successful holding OF
the fair. The energetic, working members
of this association have been untiring in
their efforts to promote the great inter-
ests of agriculture, and under many en-
barrassing circumstances, have kept up
the organization, in the hope Of stimula-
ting others. 1t was their desire to make
the present Fair surpass all others which
had been held there, in interest and sub
stantial benefit, and one long to be remen-
bered on account of its pleasing and profit
able attractions, and they have succeeded.
The weather was beautiful and all the sur
roundings propitious; a bright sun at the
opening, with delicious and exhilarating
breezes. at an early hour the people
commenced pouring into town from all
directions, and soon the crowd had swelled
to 4, 900 persons. Cannon county carried
off q number of handsome premiums and
was well represented at the FAIR. The
premium for the best equestrienne was
eagerly contested and was gracefully won by
Miss Magrup, a winsome young lady Of De-
Kalb. Mr.. Motif, of Macon county, bore
off the prize in gentlemen's riding ring.
The premiums for the best stock, and
other articles on exhibition, were awarded
with judicious discrimination, and the
awards gave general satisfaction.
The show of thoroughbred and farm
stock was very superior, and elected the
encomiums of all who were present. We
