Horses.
Competent judges report that the show Of
horses surpasses expectation, and is in many
respects superior to any we have had at the
State Fair for years. Goldsmith's Huntress
and Doswell's Orion are perhaps the only IA
nous horses on the grounds, but nearly all the
stables are well filled, there are good many
thoroughbreds, and not few that pr onlise
to be we'll known on the trotting turf.
Captain John A. McCaull brings some
fine stock from his Monterey Stud Farm, in
Guiding tho following horses Orange Blos-
som, Nelly Irwin, Vanilla, Lady Kossuth,
Fashion, and Monterey. Captain McCaull Is
on the grounds himself His horses ull ap-
pear in fine condition.

Agricultural Implements.
The exhibitors in this department do not
seem to embrace as many from abroad as
usual, but our Richmond manufacturers
make Il creditable display. The signs of Watt
d Call and z. Fl. Starke are respectively the
centres of large collections. Watt & Call have
made about 400 entrieS-the largest we
to have seen by one firm. The
Watt plough is seen in all its varieties, while
its popular competitor--the DiXie--is also
displayed to excellent advantage. II. NJ.
Smith Il Co. have their usual large assort-
;1ent OF drills, cider-prcsses, Well-fXtures.

over the South. Charles Il. Palmer, another
prominent manufacturer of agricultural i'm
pIements, also has a fine display in his line,
and there ure several exhibitors whose SAM

feature is the display of coal made by 5. Ii.

West Virginia Goals, which are becoming
well-known 10y sight to Richmond people.
