The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1872-10-30

b.cpltc the WINDY weather the attendance
was nearly up to that Of the first day in tor
mer Years.
With the single exception of Class V. that
OF Poultry. the exhibition does not at all
compare with those OF previous years. In
the Department of Horses, classes which
usually attract the most attention. the dis
play of fine animals is very mcagrc. There
are only few very fine horses, and not Il
full list of any class. OF course the horses
entered for the lIurdlc-racc are not included
IN this statement.
In the Cattle Department. while there is
some stock on exhibition. Il large number Of
empty Stalls bctrays either Il decline Of tie
interest once taken by our people in the cX-
hIbltlon Of their cattle or the failure Of the
Society to offer sufficient inducements to cx-
hibiors.
In the Hog and Sheep Departments long
row OF empty pens grccts the eye of the
visitor. There are very few OF either class
10 n1 seen, but we We're glad to find some
really fine specimens in the lot.
Tue Poultry Department is full to over
flowing. The growing of cocks. the cacklin@
OF geese. and the quarking of the ducks, are
heard long before the cages in which tic
birds are confined are reached There may
ne seen every variety OF domestic fowl
known 10 the State, n!any Of them reared to
tic highest perfection.
III Raw Material mid Produce there are
not nAhN exhibitors, but amongst the af!-
ries II! this department may bt seen some

equal 10 that Of the tar-iumed mines Of Ger
many.
In Farm Products We lind some Silrerior
manufactured tobacco, smoking and chew
ill-. exhibited by some OF our Richmond
manufacturers. and Il few samples Of bright
leaf tobacco and grain raised in this state.
In the horticultural Department the most
noticeable feature is al exhibition of >iXly
varieties OF vegetables by one man. This
list embraces alt ti,@ vegetables known in our
market. There m" Hi-2 here >"ul" superior

The ti.play Of fruit trees Is very uDct@r",
but these on the ground attest the careful
culture for which our nuI$rrymcn arc noted.
