The display Of stock was not what it
should have been. This to great extent
was due to the short notice given of the
Exposition, and the holding of other fairs
in this part OF the state previous to this
one. But we noticed some fine specimens
of booded cattle and horses. There were
some good sheep aud hogs on the grounds
In poultry the show was not large, but some
choice specimens were on exhibition.
In this enumeration we have found it I'M
possible to mention the numerous fancy
articles exhibited by the ladies, many of
them exquisite specimens of their hand
work, birds, fishes, curiosites aud a multi.
tude Of other things deserving notice, all
of which combined to make the fair at
tractive and beautiful and indicating the
great interest taken by the fair sex in the
success of the exposition.
The entries to the exposition numbered
about one thousand, and the entire receipts
amounted to three thousand FIVE hundred
dollars, splendid showing, but both of
these incldentals can be increased 100 yer
