The Goth Annual Fair Of the Or
ange County Agl icultural Society.
opend in Bra ford ON Tuesday OF
this week. and closed on Thursday,
aud on the " hole was u success.
The rains Of Tuesday prevented
the arrival of stock and articles as
eally 4. usual. and the Fam was
not fairly opened until "Wednesday
morning. The mama cement Of the
officers throughout, and particular
" Of the Marshal and his deputies,
was comurndabe. They found
themselves half day behind their
programme, Oh account of the rain.
but by good management, caught
up aud brought the afternoon pro
granme of Wedncsday nearly on
time without seeming TO hurry any
part Of the exhibitions.
The show Of horses was not as
large MS at some former fairs, yet
was very coed. We noticed some
very fine stock horses on the
grounds. Black Billy. IA fine Nor

Hcmmcnway, Chelsea, and stallion
colts by Il. Il. Johnson, Bradford
.. II. Watson. Topsham, ANA lior
acc Smith, TopSharl, are all very
fine h,rscs. Casslus Clay was not
IN condition to show his best, un ac
count of having the scratches SO
that he could not travel naturally. |
Len Rodgers was also exhibited, al
though he could not enter for Il pre-
MUM, and was, we think, by fal the
finest horse at the fair, Eight of his
colts we've Oh the grounds, and they
are the best tnat we ever saw sired |
by any one horse in this section. II |
any one doubts that "bloOd will
tell" let them examine this horses
colts and they will he sd; isfcd that
it does "tcll."
The show of cattle in the pens
was, we thought, not as large as
usual. NJ. X. hambrrin Il Son of
Bradford. made the best exhibition
of DurhamS as usual. The show of
Jersey or AlderLey stock was the
best ever seen at Our fair, and We
hardly think the animals in This
class could he eXcellrd in the State.
j. II. Peters, W. II. Gilmore, j. II
Jones, w. T. George and j. G..
Stearns we're the principal exhibit
OrS in this class.
