MDDLETowN, DEL, Oct, 4.-The third an
nual exhibition of the "Peninsula Agricul-
tural and Pathological Association will be
held at their ample grounds, here, to-day.
The prospects Of the meeting are excellent,
and il the weather holds good, the exhibi-
ton, both in attendance and interest, will
surpass both of the two previous ones. The
exhibits, both of agricultural products,
and stock, promise to be very fine, and
most of them are already here. A
few are delayed for various rea
sons. The cattle and sheep, which are
on exhibition, attract attention, especially
fine specimens from the farm Of Geo. q.
Iybout, ESQ, OF Delaware City, some
thorough-breds, exhibited by s. P. Nc
Dowell, of Middletown, and very fine
herd of sheep, descendants from Webb's
flock, England, the most famous in the
world.
The ladies' have succeeded in making
their department. if possible, more attrac
tive than last year, and the interior of their
building is the occasion of a great deal OF
admiration.
Most of the horses which have been en-
tered for the races, fifty-three in number,
are already here, and this feature OF the
Fair will be fuller and more successful than
either last years or the year previous The
final 2:30 race; $500 purse; $500 to 1st, $3.50
to I'd, and $50 to third, on Friday after
noon, will be the best exhibition of trotting
