In the list of articles on exhibition at the
Fair, which we published last week, there
were some slight inaccuracies, some articles
having been entered in the name of the per-
son Bringing them 70 the exhibition, and not
in the name of the maker, as they should
have been. Among the articles thus entered
we noticed remarkable handsome mat and
rug, made 10y Mrs. A. Moores of Highlands
near Bel Air, both of which deserved premi-
| ums
There were SO many articles deserving of
special mention, that il is difficult to parlic-
ularixe. We would mention, however, the
unusually fine display of carriages and bug
| gics, all of which, to the unpractised eye, pre-
scented so many points of excellence, as to
make Il decision between them difficult
matter. Carriages of different kinds, cxlibi-
ted by John Hanna & Bro, of Bel Air, and
Spangcr & Bro , of York, Pa, wcrevespecal-
ly deserving Of honorable mention.
A good display oistoves, from the establish
ment of Mr. Isaac Amos, of Bel Air, was cred
liable To the place.
We noticed some very fine specimens of
roofing slate, the product of u Hartford coun-
ty quarry, but by whom deposited We did
not learn
In the floral department, II conspicuous
ornament was Il window flower garden, cx-
/ hibitcd by Mrs. r. r. Bovine, which attracted
much attention for its gracefumess and beauty
| There was also upon exhibition some very
crcditablc oil paintings, exhibited by Mrs. NJ
! L. Curtiss.
Mr.. G. G. Curtiss, also set up on the
grounds one of his sun das, and nt the close
ofthc fair generously donated it to the So
ccy.
We also noticed at the fair splendid pain
Unmatched Patrick Henry colts, exhibited by
/ Mr.. James Lee. They both greatly resembcd
/ their celebrated sire, and we doubt if there
is in the county II handsomcr pair Of carriage
horses than they are.
/ The music which was excellent, was fur
nishcd by the Glen Rock Conct Band, Capt
| N, u. ScitZ, leader.
/ Altogether the fair was entirely successful
/ The wcati cr could not have been more fay
orablc, the roads were good, and everything
conspircd to make the occasion pleasant
| The attendance increased us the fair progress
edit being estimated that there were nj
least six thousand persons upon the ground,
on Friday, the closing day.
The officers of the association labored most
zcalously TO make the exhibition successful
and succeeded beyond their most sanguin,
expectations. With the experience they have
acquired tins year, the people will look tt
them for correction Of any errors into
which they have been inadvertently led and
will expect IN equally gratifying exhibition
next year 70 this end the farmers and
mechanics of Hartford should lend all lheil
energies, TO assist them, and carry on sue.
cesstully the work so auspiciously begun last
week.
