West Oxford Enjr

all the articles exhibited came from Windham.
West Oxford Fair.
Good, BETTER BEST would be an appropriate
description of the successive days of the Fair,
The experience of the Society for twenty-fv
years has proved that the second week of Octo.
Der almost invariably affords fine weather.
The exhibition of the present year has proved
almost equal in quality, and in receipts at the
gates, to former years. The meetings of the
Society were more interesting and the plans for
improvement more comprehensive than ever
before.
We present part of the awards of the COM
