and included many fine animals those OF MI
Wakem, from Whitby, Ontario, Canada, at
tracing special attention. They embraced

FARM PRODUCTS.
The exhibition in this department was quite
extraordinary. The exhibition alone of the
three towns of Deer Park, Fall River and Rut-
land more than doubled any previous display
at either county or state fair at Ottawa, and
vet their massive show was nearly cqualed by
private exhibitors. We give the premiums
awarded outside of the town displays above
mentioned;

VEGETABLES.
In this department the exhibition was also
tremendous. Mr. Elias Hathaway WIS ahead
here as in fruits, but he found many rivals
close after him. HIS display of potatoes OF
Which he showed II varieties, was greatly ad
mired; he also showed some mammoth egg
plants and muskmelons, and in his exhibit OF
sauashcs there were some winter equashea
and wears old. Mrs. F. B. Blust showed the
largest watermelons, one of them weighing a.
pounds, and all ranging from % up. Mr. f
NJ. Fishbem also showed some monsters, rs
did also Mr. Chas. Randlet, A. T. Roath and
others. Want of space, however, obliges us tc
be short in these notices. We were unable tc
ret the award of premiums in time.
