AGRICULTURAL FAIR GRAND
GALA DAY-THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE PRESENT,
third Day.

5ET " ~ O. N,
SO Thursday has always been considered
the day at our State Fair, and such was
surely the case to-day. From an early
hour this morning up to the hour OF z p.
IN. the stream Of people has been increas-
ing as it has poured in. from the entry
gates. The side-shows are in full blast, the
various departments are crowded, and the
First Virginia Regiment and the Howitzers
are iths observed of all observers. Want
of time and Space forbids our giving more
than brief resume of to-day's proceed
incs, At 10 o'clock q. IN. the plowlng
match was to have taken place, but as it
did not take place at the hour named, we
omit it here.
AT IL o'clock the arena exhibition OF
draft horses, yoke oxen, &c., took place.
This attracted considerable attention, and
some fine stock was shown.
AT 129 o'clock Governor Walker from
the porch Of the main building, delivered
his address to the Agricultural Society.
