THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR-Thc Fred
'ick County Agricultural Society held
during the past week their Fourteenth
Annual Fair, which all things considered,
may Justly be characterized as the most
successful ofany yet hell by the Society.
The weather for the week Immediately
preceding the Fair, was very unfavorablc
for the work Of seeding, in which our
farmers were generally engaged, and this
work being necessarily retarded, prevented
many of our county people from attending
The first three days at the fair were very
cold any windy, and doubtless deferred
many from attending. Fairs were also in
PROGRESSES in two adjoining counties, Wash
ington, Md, and Loudoun, Va, from each
of which we usually have Il large at
tendance. When added to these untavora-
BILE circumstances is the existence of a
general lack of business and consequent
scarcity of money, it is somewhat surprs
ing that results so nearly apprl Ximatng
the brilliant success of former years was
attained. 1t would seem however that
there is mo such word as tail," for the cX-
hibtions ofour Agricultural Society. The
attendance Oh the cold days in the early
part of the week was hut little less than
usual, and on Thursday, the city and Fair
grounds were both thronged by an immense
multitude of visitors, which WAS continued
