The weather-1hs Attendsnce-Larae En-
try Lists.
The twelfth annual exhibition of the
Virginia State Fair opened this morning,
and will continue four days.
The morning opened alternately clear
and cloudy, with a raw wind blowing, but
toward the middle of the day the sun
shone o~ftener, brighter, and warmer, and
inspired exhibitors and others with new
hopes for suspicious weather throughout
the week. During the first half of the day
the attendance was not large. The time
was principally occupied in preparations,
and large additions were made to the entry
lists. Tire entries at this time surpass in
extent those of any former year, and the
promise is brilliant for q most successful
and profitable exhibition.
We continue the publication of the
entries
