The Afternoons Races.
The Fair eliminated on Thursday in a
grand and magnificent display of horse
flesh and some splendid trottlng. The day
was warm, clear and bright and the
grounds were crowded from morning until
night The largest number of people were
in attendance that have been thus far dur
ing the Fair, and the day was fine sue
cess. The address, of course, called out
large numbers as the fame of Murray is be-
coming so well-known and so wide spread
that every one is sure to hear him if posi-
bic whenever and wherever he appears.
His talents as speaker on the platform
and in the pulpit are universally acknowl-
edged, while the great interest shown by
him in the training of horses and in agri-
cultural pursuits generally, make him par
ticularly adapted for the time and the oc-
casion. The address. published in our
evening edition of yesterday and to be
found on the first page, should be read by
every farmer and all interested in the agri-
cultural growth and prosperity of the
State and of the entire country.
THURSDAY MORNING
was devoted to show of horses. At nine
o'clock three year old geldings and tlles
were exhibited on the track, aftcrwhich three
year old stations came on. AT ten o'clock
four year old stations were shown and five
year old stations. The latter especially
made fine appearance and were much adj
mired. A goodly number of entries were
made in each class, and especially in the
latter. The premiums awarded will be
found in another column.
The Floral Hall was crowded all day by
an immense multitude and view of all
the goods displayed was impossible to be
obtained. Among those remaining I'M
noticed by us in our former report is the
Weed Sewing Machine which makes fine
display and bears the closest examina-
ton. The superior qualities of this ma
chine are easily appreciated by all who
have used them, and those who are in need
of a sewing machine should not fail to ex-
anime the Weed at this time when so
favorable an opportunity offers itself.
MECHANICS HALL.
Another article which attracts consider
able attention in Mechanics Hall is the
Self-Llghting Lamp on exhibition there
The patent has but lately been obtained and
its qualities as new invention are quite
surprising and worthy of patronage by all.
The French Carriage Company of Graf
ton in their magnificent exhibition of car
riages and sleighs command the admira-
ton of all. The company has as its Presi-
dent, Hon. j. l.. Butterfield, the. we'll
known Senator from Windham county ;
Mr.. G. n. French as Its superintendent and
Mr.. w. G.. Wyman, Treasurer. The speci-
mems of work here displayed cannot be cx-
cellcd by any like company in this part OF
the country, in the excellence of work
manship and in the elegance with which
the carriages and sleighs are built. The
phaeton is one of the finest carriages even
brought before our notice and we under
stand the company are fast achieving the
reputation which this style of work must
win The sleighs manufactured by then,
cannot be eXceleG
