CoRREsPoNDENCE OF THE SPY
LOWELL, Sept. 5, 1872.

LOW ELL, cCpls D. lclA.
To-day is the third day of the New England
agricultural socety's exhibition, and the inter-
est is on the increase. All trains into the city
during the morningl hours were unusually long,
and every car was filled to OVERLOOKING The at
tendance at the fair grounds was far in excess
of that of yesterday, being estimated at
10000. Financially, as well &as in every
other particular, the fair is sue
cess. During the morning the exhibition
hall was thronged with spectators, and the nu-
merous manufactured and horticultural articles
received their share of public attention. The
passage-ways between the cattle pens were
crowded during the morning, and the cattle,
with the ribbons procaiming the awards of the
judges, were closely examined. The tent in
which the poultry is exhibited has attracted
large number of the lanciers of the different
classes The large tent, said TO be the largest
ever raised for exhibition purposes, where the
agricultural implements are on exhibition. has
been one of the centres ofattraction to crowds of
people Of an agricultural turn ofmind. Many of
the fanciers Of horse flesh arrived during the lat
ter part of the morning, and in the afternoon a
large crowd of visitors came down from the
city. Long before the hour announced for the
first race, the grand stand was crowded to over
flowing, every available seat being occupied,
while hundreds were obliged to stand in the
passage ways. Both sides of the race course
were thronged with spectators on foot and in
vehicles, all anxious to witness the trials of
speed which have attracted the largest number
of spectators The best of order prevailed dur
ing the day, and although portion of the rail-
ing in front of the seats gave way
there was no unnecessary crowding, and
the track during the afternoon was
kept clear of spectators. The crowd of
strangers in the city during the first three days
of the fair has been unusually large, and every
available vehicle has been called into requisi-
ton to convey them to and from the grounds.
The grand stand having proved to be far too
small for the accommodation of visitors on the
second day, it was enlarged during the morning,
but even then it failed to furnish room for the
thousands who were anxious for seats.
