clerks to receive those that came in during
the forenoon of Tuesday. The weather was
bright and promising and relying upon the
assurances it seemed to give of good weather
II large number were in attendance. But
about noon the rain began to descend brisk
~, which it kept up almost increasingly till
into the evening. As II consequence every
body went home, or to comfortable places of
shelter.
Thursday was us charming an autumn day
us could be desired. Thousands of people
attended the fair, covering the extensive
grounds like a swarmng beehive. We
should Judge that not less than four thou
sand people were on the grounds during the
day.
Taken all in all the fair was equal to any
heretofore given by the Society. In some
departments, sheep for instance, we have
seen better show, and the same may be
true of horses, but us u whole the exhibition
stands unsurpassed. The aggregate of en-
tries was about twelve hundred. OF these
about two hundred We're of fancy articles,
one hundred and thirty-six of garden vegeta-
bles, in one class only of horses one hundred
and seventy, and so on.
The address of Judge Steele was II very
able and deeply interesting argument in FL
vor Of protective tariff. He spoke about
IN hour and ten minutes and was listened to
closely by very large audience of the yeo-
many of Windsor county.
On Thursday larger number of people
were present than we remember to have
seen before, on the closing day of n fair. Good
weather, with the exception of IL smart show
er soon after noon, attended all the exercises
of the day.
