Highland County Fair.
LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Fine Display Of Horses and
Other Stock.
Complete List of Premiums
on Stock, &c.

of this year success, were respond
ed to in similar spirit by the people
and as the result of their united ex
ertions, the attendance was much lar
ger than at any Fair for several year
past, and the exhibition In every re
spect creditable to all concerned.
The weather was all that could b.
desired, and everything passed off il
good order and without any accident
to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
The display of horses was pro
nounced by good judges the finest
ever seen in the county, and the cat
tie, sheep and swine exhibited were
of superior quality, though the show
in those departments was hardly uE
to that of last year.
In the fruit and vegetable depart
ments a fair display was made, as al
so in those of domestic manufactures
and mechanical products.
The largest attendance was on the
third day, friday when the number
of people on the ground must have
been fully five or six thousand.
Aparade of Earthquakes" by some
young men of the town on Friday af-
ternoon, created a good deal of laugh
ter by their fantastic disguises and
comic maneuvering.
The Leesburg Cornet Band enli-
vened the occasion with good music,
and showed a marked improvement
in their playing since last year.
The Secretary could not give us
the exact receipts, but they were suf-
fcient to pay all expenses and leave
q surplus more than enough to hqui-
date the debt carried over from last
spring. A Agratifying financial result
certainly.
We are indebted to Col. Glenn, the
very accommodating Secretary of the
Board, for the following complete list
of premiums awarded on stock:
Want of room prevents our giving
the remainder of the premiums this
week.
