last week, and the weather was rainy and
bad throughout Notwithstanding the in
clcmencv of the weather, there MAS
splendid show of cattle, the best ever
shown in the county, taking all the cattle
on exhibition together. The entries of
sheep were larger than ever before; in
fact the show of everything, nearly, was
good Everything but the attendance of
people was success. The attendance
was small the first day, and not large the
second day, on account of such 4 rainy,
rather stay at home; yet there was quite a
good attendance the second day. and the
farmers and their wives showed good
pluck to turn out and show their produc-
tons in so bad weather. The Fair turned

races were trotted during the Fair, and
therefore, cannot be called this time an
Agricultural Horse Trot," rs it has been
sometimes heretofore.
