SECOND DAY.
The interest in all departments has in
creased considerably since yesterday. Many |
articles have been brought in that had not
made their appearance, although they
were entered upon the secretary's book.
In my article of yesterday, in speaking
of the grounds, did not have time to give
the particulars concerning improvements,
but q general description of them. There
are many features of the grounds that are
particularly worthy of mention.
The extentis such as to have track Of
one mile for trial of speed. And from the
number of blood horses on the ground, it
is presumed those who are particularly
fond of sporting" will be fully gratified.
A long line Of stables, sheds and pens is
prepared for the reception of far'
LIVE STOCK,
OF which there is fine showing. The
display in this department shows that
much attention is paid to the improve
ment in stock. There are fine horses of
almost every size and age, from the
draught horse of magnificent proportions
down to the nimble race colt.
Just here, I must speak of one colt that
| is particularly fine. Although Lean not
speak of each one, yet this one deserves
notice. It is bay horse colt, sired by the
celebrated 'Jack Malo,se.u He is one of
| the finest blooded colts in the country; is
owned by our enterprising townsman.
Joe Galloway.
| We discovered blue ribbon tied to this
| colt to-day, proving that the committee
| think with your correspondent as to the
! perfection of the animal. A number of
| fine brood mares, together with their colts
are to be seen in the stalls. These all give
promise for the future. / can not stop to
mention the young and mature stable
horses and mules. OF the latter there are
some very large and fine specimens. There
l are also some very good Jacks, and one
or two jennetts. One of these has a very
interesting little specimen of donkey.
From the fine appearance of the cattle
it is evident that the farmers of Bradley
are determined to have class of blooded
stock that will compare with that of any
part of the country.
/ can not mention now any particular
animal; but from some very large fellow:
down to small calves, together with stock
cattle and milch cows, there is a very gooc
showing. Near these are to be found some
of the finest hogs that can be produced IL
any country. These are of every color ant
size, from the very black Burkshire to tn
Chester white. There is one pig, thirteel
months old, that weighs 4O1 pounds.
Near these stables and pens is asplendl'
we'll with pump in it, so that all thi
stock can be cared for without troubl
This is one feature in the Improvement
that is worth mentioning. From thi
stock yard can be seen the coop
of poultry, of which there are varieties an
specimens calculated to please almost an.
one-from the little white Bantam to tn
finest specimen of the fighting cock
There are, also, many varieties. They re
mind one of the choice dishes of chicken
pie, &C., that makes one hungry to remem
Der. From here it is only. few steps t
the Floral Hall and Industrial depart
ments. That must be kept for anothe
ramble.
The order during these two days ha
been very good. In fact, we have neve
known the people of Bradley to present
{ better appearance. The crowd is yer
large to-day. K. ID: b.
