Ashtabula weekly telegraph. [volume] (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1853-1873, 1871-10-14


cept the lowry and smoky condition Of Friday.
The entries, excepting In the line Of stock,
sheep and swine, were comparatively few. In
neat cattle the show has seldom II ever been
surpassed In the county. The numbers were
large, aud the quality decidedly good in all
the various grabs and breeds. The Los, ami
NAL upon the ground was the steer Of our
townsman, GEo, f. NETTLEToS. Beside this
there were several yoke of very fine oxen, and
IN mlch cows, No fine specimens as can be
found elsewhere. The common practice OF
removing the stock at the close Of the second
day, when the largest attendance u generally
on the third and last day, detracts seriously
from the effect and interest of these fair occa-
sions. Apparent as this is, 1t Is not little
surprising that steps are not taken to either
hold the cattle over or If that is impracticablc,
to have them brought in at such time as will
| secure their presence on tie last and principal
day of the exhibition. A very pretty feature
of this fair was an arbOr of evcrgrecns, in
which the collection Of flowers from the nur-
series of Messrs. JENNINGS & RAMAoE, aud
other parties, were made very attractive and
Interesting. The vegetable department was
quite slim. Superintendent CURTIS of the
latirmary, us usual brought some OF the best,
which were indeed mcrltorous, rs the pro.
ducts OF the lnfrmary farm usually are. Some
good samples Of grain were on exhibition. but
The quantity was limited, AS wtre also those
ni fruit. The season lOr the apple crop has
not been good, but there were some lair SAM
! pies from the orchard of ALLEN PRINDLB,
who, we believe, took first premium. There
| were also some fine specimens ol pears. For
grape region, like this, our vincyardiss bring
out hut few samples of their produces. The
excuse Tor this the present season, is, that the
fair came to late for tlIcir best samples aud
varieties. ELIJAH BLISS had good variety
upon the boards, and HENRY BOWMAN II very
credilable variety, and Il clustcr-or rather II
series Of clusters, hunging from u short bit OF
vine, that brought 10 mind the clusters #
