The show in this department was Dial
but some fine ones were shown by thpsC

We believe all the exhibitors arc nam.

HORSES.
The show OF horses was good but or
account of the rain of Monday night il
was much less than was intended as many
very fiue animals that were started turned
back on Tuesday it was so muddy. The
leading feature Of the show was the ex.
hibtion Of Stations with their stock
Young Ethan owned by Henry Delong
Cornwall, and Col. Phyfc, owned by D.
Rider, Middlebury were the competitors
aud appeared to great advantage with
their stock upon the track on Thursday
morning. y number Of the premiums in
all classes were sired by these horses
The Cakes Stallion by the latter is very
line animal and took the first premium as
Stallion in the other class. Pilgrim by
the same horse took the first premium as
single driver
or the stock Of Young Ethan, Col
Stowell's mare Nancy Allen" took the
first premium in the trotting class of 2. 40
A. y. Shedons Fred Howard" in the
four year old trotting class, and Samuel
Roots b. N. Jessie" in the three year
old class Of trotters. Messrs. Bates and
Harris exhibited Lambert and there was
/ good deal of his young stock on the
ground. His clean beauty and stylish
lofty ,stridy action attracted the attention
Of all and we heard him generally com.
mended by the crowd, and all lovers Of
good horses, as the most beautiful, Las well
is best acting horse they ever saw. Only
one OF his colts older than three years was
upon the ground. His stock won the first
and second premiums in the class of two
year old Stations, first and second year.
ling colts, and the first in sucking colts,
these classes were all very full, and the
exhibition very fine 10 all The yearing

saw. We regret that the young mare
belonging to Mr.. Hammond the president
OF the society, was SO lame she could not
be shown upon the track, the lameness i.
cot supposed to be serious. it is rumored
that she made one half mile few DAYS
before the fair in 1.l9, we cannot vouch
for the truth Of the rumor, but we have it
from reliable persons that she made half
mile in l.2l which is fast enough. We
understand that one of Lam0erts colts
made heat in less than 2.2i lately in
Massachusetts,. The great reputation of
Lambert as sire Of trotters seems to be
unprecedented in a horse Of his age.
The Horse Stock Company failed to
put in an appearance with their stock,
undoubtedly declining to show against
such stock horses as Belongs Eathan, Mr..
RIDERS Col Phyfe formerly and better
known as Billy Riug,) and Lambert
wherein we think them wise, as we DO
not believe they would gain great
amount Of credit BY the comparison, as
we think there are few horses anywhere
that can equal the three named as stock
horses.
In the other class of Stations, Col.
Stowcl's Patchen Hamiltonian, is a very
promising young Stallion and likely to
make the reputation Of his sire more than
good. Capt. Samuel Moore's young four
year, old Stallion, by Lambert, is a very
promising young Stallion with strong
stocky mako and good action.
We did not have an opportunity to
iook over all the young stock, but what
Se did see was very promising, the story
If the trotting is told in the premium
list.
The report of the committee on farm
ing implements is more full and complete
than any we can make from our imperfect
aotes.
In butter there was quite numbe of
samples exhibited by G. l.. Branch, T.
Boardman and G. G. Cady, Middlebury ;
Il. Samson, Phlo Jewett and +. NJ Shaw
Weybridge; w. l. Rider, New Haven ;
Peter Tully, II. G. Taylor, Cornwall.
There was one sample of Maple sugar, on
exhibition by N. w. Boardman, Middle
bury. A very fine lot of honey in small
boxes of very convenient form was pre-.
,ented by A. c. Hooker, Mddebury.
j. f. Crane, Bridport, was also an exhib.
tor Of very fine honey.
FRUIT.
The show of apples was very fine, for
particulars Of which we refer TO the re-.
port of the committee in the premium list.
The exhibition Of cloth by the Middle
bury Company was very full, aud en-
oraced styles and qualities to please ev-
eryone, we can understand why these
goods should be bought by everyone, as
they embrane cloth for the finest suits,
and the most durable for every day wear
In Cabinet ware. the Parlor and
Chamber suits Of j. b. Steele e. Co, and
W G. Langworthy, Middlebury, deserv.
eddy attracted great attention.
Il. W. Huntington had a very fine
lounge, and James Lister had the most
perfect folding bedstead we ever saw
