day. The attendance was not very large,
though good, and the exhibition, says the Wing,
has been exceeded by none in fullness, variety
and excellence of arrangement. The stock,
cattle, sheep and hogs are numerous, and of
fine quality. The display of fowls is really

quisite, and the fruits and vegetables show the
perfection to which such products can be
brought in our favored State by skilltul culture.

lection constitute one of the greatest attractions
of the exhibition. The dust is the chief draw
hack
