There we're few grade cattle but we did

offat cattle the yoke of oxen by A. Smith,
Addison, were a show in themselves, and the
yoke Of Mr.. Lahgdon Of New Haven, were
fine. The show ofworkiDg oxen was small

tied by II, s. Langdon, New Haven, Il. s.
Wright, Weybridge, and II. +. Brevort, Ad-
Olson.
ln mutton sheep there was a good cxhibi-

swine.
The show in this department was small,
but some fine ones were shown.
Horses.
The show Of horses was good, but on &C.
count Of the rain of Monday night it was
much less than was intended, as many very
fine animals that were started turned back on
Tuesday, il was so muddy. The leading
feature Of the show was the exhibition of
Stations with their stock. Young Ethan
owned by Henry Delong Cornwall, and Col.
Phyfe, owned by d. Rider, Middlebury were
the competitors and appeared to get advan-
tage with their stock upon the track on
Thursday morning. A number of the pre-
miums in all classes were sired by these
horses. The Oakes Stallion by the latter is
very fine animal and took the first premi-
um as Stallion in the other class. Pill
grim by the same horse took the first premi-
um as single driver.
OF the stock of Young Ethan, Col. Stow
ellis mare "Nancy Allen took the first pre-
MUM in the trotting class of 240, A. A.
Shcldon's "Fred Howard" in the four year.
old trotting class, and Samuel Roots b. NJ.
Jessie" in the three year.old class of trot-
ters Mcssrs Bates and Harris exhibited
lambert, and there was a good deal of his
young stock on the ground. His clean beau
ty and stylish, lofty, stridy action attracted
the attention ofall and We heard him gcner-
ally commended by the crowd and all lovers
Of good horses, as the most beautiful, as well
as 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 -years-old
Stations, first and second in yearling colts,and
the first in sucking colts, these classes we're
all very full, and the exhibition very fine in
all. The yearling colt Of Capt. Moore that
I took the first premium is we think as good
as we ever saw, We regret that the young
mare belonging to Mr.. Hammond the presi-
dent of the society, was so lame she could not
be shown upon the track; the lameness is not
supposed to be serious it is rumOred that
she made one-haf mile few days before
the fair in l.19, we cannot vouch for the
truth of the rumor, but we have it from reli.
able persons that she made half mile il
l.21, which is fast enough. We understand
that one of Lambert's colts made heat il
less than 2.24 lately in Massachusetts,
The great reputation of Lambert as a sire O.
trotters seems to be unprecedented in hors'
Of his age.
The Horse Stock Company failed to pu
in an appearance with their stock. In othe
classes of Stations, Col, Stowell's PatcheI
Hambletoniau, is a very promising younl
stallion and likely to make the reputation o
bis sire more than good, Capt. Samue
Moore's young four-year-old stallion, b,
Lambert, is very promising young stallion
