were rumOrs in circulation to the effect that
most of the fruit had'rotted in the refrigera-
tor and been thrown out. He told ME that
of the peach season large quantity OF the
frui. had been boxed in wet and bad, con-
dition so that it fermented; in consequence
whereOfthe boxes were removed, the peaches
taken from the boxes, culled over, the de-
cayed portion thrown out, the sound ones

this town. Great preparations have
been made, and are still making by the
managers. The grounds are extensive, and
have been greatly improved and the track
put in complete order for the use of the fast
trotters. Buildings have been erected for
all purposes. Floral hall and the hall for
the ladies' department have been enlarged
and improved, and filled with every conye-

facility that good judgment can devise, has
been provided. Last season the attendance
at the exhibition was immense, and bids fair

preaching season. Already nearly the en-
Ire hotel and boarding house accommoda-
ions have been engaged in advance by per-
sons from distance. 1t is to be hoped the |
weather may prove favorable during the
exhibition. PEACH-GRowER. {
