this department is to be tho browning glory OF
the ladies' OF the Saginaw Valley.
The Miscellaneous Division is regarded OF
great importance, embracing 40 II does the list
of premiums upon ores and minerals, with
which our State abounds, lumber, brick, tile
and ditching, &c, &c.
The Pathological Society Of the State have
the exclusive control of the whole range Of
Pathological premiums. Its Executive Com
mittee and officers aver that it is tho most ex-
tended, most correct, aud most liberal list Of
premiums offered in the country. These man.
ayers are jealous, devoted to their calling, and
though the season is discoufAging for fruit, by
their energy and determination there is no
doubt this department will make far better
show than last year, and We think we do not
over estimate the result Of the work being done
among the fruit growers Of the State.
In the matter of Speed Premiums-while not
quite as large as last year, We think them more
judiciously arranged for bringing out the class
Oh OF horses which our breeders most prize,
and for encouraging the production Of super.
ior order Of mans next friend" Michigan
to-day is making more rapid strides In the i'm
provement of her horse stock than any State in
the Union, and her horses are more sought for
in all Eastern markets, which condition OF
things is largely owing to judicious encourage
ment by the State and County Agricultural
Societies.
The Speed Department. though offering a
large amount in premiums, yet costs the 80
ciety less than any other department OF the
Fair: in fact, it Is a source Of large profit to
the society annually, and enables it to pay
double the premiums in other departments 1t
would otherwise be enabled to do. Last year
it was ably managed by Hon. G. W. Greene, OF
Pennington the present year 1t is under charge
Of Eli Van Valkenburgh, Esq, Of Hillsdale,
and j. NJ. French, Esq, OF Detroit and we
predict, from present indications that there
will by larger array Of valuable and fast
horses than was ever gathered at any fair IN
the State. The following is list OF premiums
