Never before in the history of the fair was
there such large and complete display of cat.
tie. Joseph Close s. Co. had a very fine short
horn imported bull. Thos. A. Thompson had
a splendid Durham bull, COW and calf. La
ban Lodge had full-bred Durham bull, very
large and fine. Reece Thomas had a fine
young bull, and handsome thoroughbred
Devon cow and calf; and many others had cat
tie on exhibition, whose names we could not
learn.
The Sheep Pens were all full, and more had
to be built to accommodate. Samuel Camp
bell, Samuel Watkins, Close and Somers, W.
o. Harrah, and Kirkpatrick and Wallace were
among the exhibitors.
THE BALLOON,
Uuder the management of Prof Chas Davis,
with Miss Estelle Young as Eronaut, made
two successful ascensions to the delight of the
immense crowd of people who witnessed it
Signor Antonio Deblanco, at intervals enter
tanned the audience with his daring tight-ropt
performances.
During the entire Fair the St. Clairsvillt
Cornet Band in their bright and handsome
uniforms, which attracted much notice, dis
coursed the best of music, thus assisting ma
terially to keep people in good humor.
Altogether, the Fair was the most satisfactor,
one held here for many years. The Board o
Managers, President, Secretary Treasurer, ant
all the officers deserve the highest commenda
tion for the energy, perseverance and plucl
displayed to afford first class exhibition, an
chief marshal A. C. Danford, deserves tn
highest praise for skillful management of tn
Ring. Good enough for the st. Clairsvill
Fair of 1875.
