As usual. there are some iuaccur.
cies in the report Of awarding committee,
at the late Fair. r. r. Wait, the presi.
dent OF the company, exhibited three
years old colt which was awarded a third
premium In the class for four year olds
and over, having to compete with horses
as much as eight years old, whereas in It's
own class it would have doubtless been
awarded the 6r,t. The directors cannot
now change the report, and TO refer these
matters back to the committees is next to
impossible, so they of necessity must 60
uncorrected. except as mention of the
facts are made. In future mure care
should be exercised. Another error
comes to our notice by which gentlemen
was awarded first premium for animals
that were not on the ground.
The financial report will not be as good
as last year. Tie receipts were about
$500, Of which 5000 can be used to re-
duce the indebtedness of the company.
The sums awarded as premiums will be
sent to some suitable person in each town,
aud due notice given.
The Festival on the Fair ground on
Thursday of next week, bids fair to be
an interesting occasion. The mixed train
on the r. r. would accommodate those
living up the line" if arrangements for
"'hoIding" it a few hours at this end of
the line. can be made. which the committee
ought to do if possible, Ne understand
that Col John b, Mead of Randolph will
deliver an address.

A. W. Griswold. Of Malvern Farms,
entered his colt, Auctioneer, and we ex-
tract the following account OF him from
Wilkes Spirit:
Auctioner is large brown stallion by
Taitersall, son of Hambletonian; dam
the full blood mare Hlberuia. He is an
imposing colt OF great muscular develop
ment, especially in the propel'iug points.
is the largest Of the contestants, and evil
IDENTIFY cut fer a sixteen.haad horse. The
high blood of his dam has blended hap
PLY with his trortiug lines, and he exhib.
its quality and finish as WEI as substance
and power; is very big gated, with open
action well rounded, and 'lonse as string
Of suckers" He IL the first of Tattersall's
get,and the only one older than two years.
1t is no small credit to his sire that with
but single colt to select from and dc.
pend upon he should have sent so good
representative to the stake, for al
though he had not quito the turn of speed
of some of the others, he proved himself
as game as bulldog and finished his
heats as fresh as May morning. He was
conditioned and handled by Henry S.
Town, the Only amateur driver in the race,
but suffered no disadvantage in that fact.
We predict that If that Vermont
er and his colt stay together until the lat
ter natures his big frame and works up
tina. big sweeping gait, some Of the fast
ones will have to unlink their best efforts
to keep GU, Of their way.
