likely to attract attention in that form 1t will

been made in it sincc it was last published.
Premiums for borough bred horses which were
inadvertently overlooked before, are added; ad-
ditions have been made to some of the Commit

harder we strove to please all the more sure
were we to displease very large number of
persons.

We are pleased to learn that many persons
from distance will exhibit improved plows,

exhibition as any County in the State, and we
hope her citizens will make an effort to secure

for the largest and best exhibition of articles of
nil kinds exhibited by any County in the State.
