al value aud interest A very large pro-
portion was merely entered, but was mott
brought forward on account of the rain ]
while some very meritorious animals and
articles were brought out, part of which
we had the pleasure of taking hurried
look at, aud Of which we cannot torbear
giving passing passing notice
" CATTLE.
The numbers of cattle brought forward
compared to the numbers entered was
quite small A fine Ayrshire bull, Gar.
gyle ID" belonging to A. NJ. Evarts, Of
Salisbury, is fine, compact. excellent
specimen Of this lavorito dairy breed.
A very fine Jersey bull belonging to
Messrs. Bostwick & Battell was on the
ground, a fine animal that we believe car
ried off the highest honors of the Society
in his class last year.
The celebrated herd of Short Horns
owned by l.. j. Wright, of Weybrdge,
was entered, Or at least some thirty head
of them, and their enterprisiug owner had
twice within looking distance Of the
grounds. and although we only caught
glimpse of them, that was enough to make
us wish for a more careful examination.
an opportunity tor which is promised by
next week, as Mr.. Wright has promised
us that he will have them promptly on
hand at the adjourned Fair Ola large
number of oxen that were entered, two
very fine Jokes made their appearance
one belonging 10 E. S. Wright Esq OF
Weyhridge, a very fine yoke that we hope
Mr.. Wright will find trusty man to
drive out next week. As Mr.. Wright
expects to be engaged in breaking in the
steer team at Montpelier next week, we
shall miss him at the adjourned Fair.
A yoke of very fine 4 year olds was
presented by Mr.. II. f. Brevoort. of Adj
Olson, There will be an excellent oppor-
tunity for any one who has better yoke
Of four year old cattle to present them
next week. We do not think there are
a great many better ones in the county,
but if there are we hope to see the them
out.
In mutton sheep goodly number
came forward, among which were some
fine pens OF ewes, eve lambs and buck
lambs by G. L. Branch, Middiebury. We
noticed a liberal number of Cotswold
ewes and bucks of most liberal proper
tions, entered by G. A. Lyon, OF Shell
burn. They were a very fine lot, and we
hope to see them next week, when we
trust the weather will be more propitous,
and larger number Of people will have
an opportunity of admiring them. Messrs
Shackett Il Douglas had also entered
number Of mutton sheep, but if they
were out we did not see them but VIC hope
to next time.
The entries in merino sheep were up to
goodly number, but only a few were
actually brought forward, among which
we noticed fine ram, belonging to G. NJ.
Robbins; of Hancock. II. C. Burwell, of
Bridport, had very fine buck lamb and
some ewes that were noble specimens Of
the Spanish meii inc in its most advanced
stage of improvement. We have as.
surances from a number of noted breed.
ers that they will make this department
very full and complete rext week, but we
do not believe that Mr.. Burwell's ewes
will be much excclled, if they can be.
"May We be there to see.'
HORSES.
The show Of horses from abroad was
something unprecedented in the history
of the Society. Those from the Vermont
Horse Stock Farm were u show in them
selves. or fast ones, A. Ii. Daniorth, OF
Rutland, had with him Minerva" "Tam
O'Shanter." and kitty Thorn" all OF
them LIST prize takers in the trotting pre-
MUM classes at the State Fair at St
Johnsbury, and all capable of making it
lively for any horses aspiring for posi-
ton in advance of them. \. Mccoy, of
Rutland had Gipsey Girl She did not
seem much afraid Of the crowd by the |
way she was entered for the several pre-
miums for trottiDg G. B. Bidwell, of
Williston, entered fine marc, Lady Big
Glow. II. +. Solacc, of Bridport, had a
fine four year old, Clifford Boy. c. W.
Huntley, of Bridport, four year old
that has shown quite disposition to get
to the front the past season. II. NJ. Jones
Of Williston, N. Y, had Brown Billy, a
horse that has won something OF a repu-
tation, and would prove lively one to
beat. Stillmam White. Of Boston aud
VIM. Wright, of Shoreham, had three
year Odds that promise well, and the lat
ter proved the better horse at the race
on Hammond's track on Friday. j. +.
Severance, Of this place, had very fine
mare, Fanny" entered, and our friend,
Col. Stowel's mare, Nancy Allen, was
entered, and no doubt capable of making
good some Of our positions on Vermont
horses. If rumor is to be credited, the
COL has refused enough for her to bring
up the average price Of large number OF
Vermont horses to a very respectable
standing, We hope the Col. will soon
raise one from Patchen that will be fast
er than Nancy, and then give Nancy to
US. She is quite pretty enough and fast
enough for our use, and no one who saw
her trot it out in the mud and rain at the
State Fair at St. Johnsbury will doubt
her pluck and bottom. II. G. Goodrich,
Of this place, entered very fine black
mare, Susie Allen.
Although there were large number
Of entries in the other classes Of horses
we had not the pleasure of seeing many of
them.
In the entries of matched horses we
noticed DR.. G. M. b. Kidder Of YER
gennes, f. Fl, Bisbee, New Haven. d.
Rider and j. Il. Severance, Middlebury.
In single drivers L +. Brownell,
Williston. ID. Rider, Middlebury, &c &c
all ofthese We feel assured were worthy
of premium each if they did not get
