on the right by Mr.. Frankln's pressed sage, and
on the left by Moses in the bulrushes, worked
in worsted by somebody's daughters as good as
ever Pharaoh's were. Across the west wall were
displayed pictures and "store goods from
ncighboring merchants, who seized the oppor-
tunity to display in tempting way their new
shawls and dress goods. This part of the fair
has been complained of by some as little out
of the way but, after all, it seems to us to be
good idea. Farmers wives and daughters are
thus enabled to see just what patterns AMI
prices are current at time when they can dis
cuSs the matter among themselves. The same
may be said of cook stoves and other wares.
The various styles of carriages, both in the
hall and around it, were labeled, as usual, al.
IIaines & Son, Sturbridge," and "H l. Joslin,
Webster and neither party need be modest in
receiving the liberal praise which was bestowed
by admirers upon the vehicles. Among the
harnesses shown by Z. Morris & Son of Dudley,
was the same pretty little article of horse jewel
ry which took the first prize at Lowell.
The exhibition Of horses was attended with
great interest, and the colts were watched by
their doting owners much as a child in church
for the first time is by its ANXIOUS
mother. The leading, walking and draw
Ing having been successfully ended, the
track was cleared for "last and light
work" The entries in that class were seven in
number, by N Newcome, O. f. Chase, Francis
Ryan, }. A. Rich, l.. Sheldon, f. Chamberlain
and NJ Lashapel. Ryan's horse won the first
heat in 3:O5, and also the second in 3 OS. Style,
speed and beauty were considered in this class,
and the first money, $500, was awarded to
Ncwcomc, second to Chase, and third to Ryan.
The judges were j. N. Vaughn, Chas I. Pratt
B. J. Stone, II. |. Josln and A. L.
Lamb who also acted in the class
for gcntemen's driving horses, which
next came on, along with a cold rain and a
general ten dency to leave for home. 1t was
given its proper attention, however, the entries
having been made by o. f, Chase, Johu ID.
Whitney, }. +. Hill and G. II. Crouch. Chase
was awarded the first money, S25; Whitney the
second and Crouch the third. The best time
made was , 80.
There were on the grounds many fine turn
outs, among them a pair of blacks driven by
Mr.. IL. d. Armstrong of Webster, which at
tracted considerable attention.
