The New England Fair.

The Homestead, in speaking of the exhi-
billion Of the New England Agricultural
Society, which was held at Portland, this
year, in conjunction with the Maine State
Agricultural Society, says il was remarked
that the fair was like 1.-The tail wagging the
dog" for it was Maine affair mostly, the
exhibition in all departments being largely
contributed 10y that Stale. The exhibition
of stock was on large scale, but not equal
in number or quality to the previous New
England fairs. They were, however, near
ly all pure breds. The Jerseys led in num-
her, and Ayrshire ranked next. Charles
Hayes q Son of Portsmouth, n. H., exhib-
tied seventeen head mostly of the celebrate
ed Peters stock. j. F. Leach of Bridge
wafer, Mass, had his prize Ayrshire bull
which took the first premium as il did two
years ago. 1t weighs 1860 lbs, and is GER
tainly the bes! representative of that breed
10 be found in lne country. In Shorthorns,
Slater OF Webster, Mass, surprised the
"Down Easlers.' He has a valuable herd,
many Of them Of his own importation and
of the Princes" "Gwynne" and "Sere-
phiua" stock. A bull recently imported
cost $500, in gold. Herelords were largely
represented. They are more popular in
Maine than in any other State, and in the
drawing matches beat everything. Devons
were scarce, only one herd, and they came
from Massachusetts. The exhibition Of OK
en- was larger than usual, and in converse
tion with the farmers of Maine we learned
that there was an increased interest in their
use for farm work. They regarded them
essentia. TO every farm, aud more profita-
BILE to use than horses. Horses and horse
racing probably attracted more people TO
the fair than any other one interest. The
large exhibition of sheep indicated that it
was profitable TO keep them, and the
Homestead predicts that we shall see bet
Ter exhibition of sheep at most of our fairs
than there has been for the last few wears.
The exhibition of agricultural implements
from all parts of the country was on a large
scale.

The American riflemeu achieved another
brilliant victory at the International match
at CreedmoOr, on Tn ursday and Friday of
last week, with the British team picked
with the greatest care from England, Ire
land and Scotland. The American team
was victorious on both days at each of the
three ranges-at 500, 900 and 1000 yards.
The score at the close showed 1894 points
iOr the Americans 10 3,242 for the British
an advantage Of 80 points for the American
team. The rapidly with which the art of
long range rifle shooting has developed may
he inferred from the fact that the score of
the victorious team on Friday was 1879,
while The highest score made at the CEN
tennial international match last year, was
1852. Nor has the improvement been con-
fined TO the Americans, for the English, on
Thursday, made l629-a larger score than
was made by either team at last years con-
test. The gain of the Americans has, how
ever, more than kept pace with that oftheir
foreign competitors.
