New Hampshire state Fair.
SECOND DAY.
MANonEsrER, Sept. 30, 1874.

MANCHESTER, sept 3D. 1919.
This morning ushered a fine CHEEKY day
with clear blue sky and cool breezes from
the northward. Its effect on the fair was
instantaneous and encouraging. At an
early hour all was lively in the city and to-
wards the grounds.
AT 8 o'clock the gates were opened and
business commenced at once. Before noon
every department was filled to overlooking.
In floral hall, a building 100 feet long by 20
wide, there 200 entries.
In horticultural hall, new department
and one by the way much needed at all
large fairs, in building of the same di-
nensions as floral hall, there are 52G entries
OF particular merit. The stock department
is full of cattle havlng the predominancc and
the show is as large as at the New Eng
land fair this season, there being 4G3 en-
tries. Considerable interest and many fine
specimens displayed in the sheep and also
the swine department.
The poultry show is unusually good, the
largest ever before the society.
The "horse men" and their animals are
pretty much all here, and in the absence of
pooling vie with each other in the races
and judges rings.
The attendance has been large to-day, the
estimate is 1000, and the success of the fair
is assured.
The races up to 2 p. m. sum up as fol-
lows:

Time, 2.3S; purse, $3.50.
A 4 minute and a 2.44 race will close tht
afternoon and the day. There are six en-
tries for the minute, and eleven for the
244 race.
1t is peculiar how a little sunshine vii
straighten out things with New Hamp
shlreites. Yesterday Manchester presented
most doleful appearance, and its fai
ground and fair prospects, decided blue
ish appearance.
To-day the record stands fair to clearing

mountains and stiff wind from hors

The day has been trille COOL fair ticket

is pretty early for dust but there has bee
a good show among the eating saloons an
restaurants. If any person in Rutlan
would furnish his "peck" and be happy, n
better opportunity will he offered than a
this fair ground
One OF the leading features OF tue fai
lisa
BABY SHOW.
For specimens of the rising Generatio
this city and vicinity has ever been noted
To further this interest and make it inter
esting, the officers of the society were col
strained to erect tent of liberal propo
tons with seats, stage and fixings all con
pctc and most all the babies to be presel
-thirty-two responded with their mothe
were arranged in scmi-ciicle arour
D the stage, and at 2 p. M, the curtain c!
posed as fat, fair and chubby Babylon
ever assembled this side of Paradise.
1t was sight to be remembered, for the
was your little curly head, your wee wips..
your great eyes and your little small eye
your good baby boy, your mammals da
ling, in fact your all laughing to perte
ton
Another exaggerated pattern of this yeal
exhibition is the
POULTRY SHOW.
I'm Inc lcutuciy tiiuS ~ 10 h"iu, " W
n New Hampshire.
r Here you find Shanghai chickens weig
t ing II to 16 pounds, not over four years
y age, side by side with goblcrs that mig
do duty for the Polandites, warrant
grasshopperful. They have doves he
whose pigeon claim is no less than "No
and the real old goosy gander," holds for
his squaw pretty much all over town.
The show in the police department
good to middling, some fair samples on
hibtion. If there is any stock in la
Manchester should forward a museum
go to manufacturing mummies for its 81
shows, which are at present sadly in wa
of relics.
y No doubt the twelfth annual fair will
a success.
