money was appropriated for purses in the races;
and, secondly, the weather WIS decidedly bad
less than half a day Of pleasant weather Tuesday
with such a steady down-pour on Wednesday, that
the directors concluded to postpone the fair till
the iith Of October, when the $500 race potato
race, base ball match and exhibition Of driving
horses will take place. The entries Of stock were
about the same ~ in former years. the
JERSEYS
taking the lead in number W. d. Bronson Of
Fast IIardwick had eight head on exhibition
which are so well known that a description is not
necessary. +. J. Smith of Stowe showed ten
head; G. W. & s. G. peunocb Of wocott, a three
years-old bull; o. l.. Metcalf yearllng heifer;
f. ?. Darling Of Elmore, a fve.years-old bull a
yearling heifer and calf; G. 7. Smith Of Morris
town, two calves and d. ~ Ferrand of HYDE
Park, COW and heifer. These comprised the
list of Jerseys, all Of them looking well and exct-
ing good deal Of attention.
DEvoNs.
Hyde Park and Morristown furnished all Of
them. OF these A. & T.. A. Smalley Of Hyde.
Park had six head V. W. Jewett one, and }. NJ
Campbell Of Morrstown five This handsome
breed Of cattle do not seem to be popular in this
valley, and year by year their number diminishes
at least Mt the fairs
AYRsHIREs
A. H. & G. n. Drury of Greensboro had the
only ones a herd Of seven. This breed though
much is claimed for them as milk producers,
gain footing but slowly in Vermont.
sHoRrHoRNs.
Harrison Dodge Of Morrstown had three cows
Alfred Dodge, also Of Morrstown, bull calf,
4 fa1f.. Al. l..sF.
NJ. Campbell Of Morristown had a yearng bull
and V. W. Jewett yearling heifer. These were
all good looking animals, but are not considered
30 good for the dairy as smaller breeds.
SWISS
W d. Bronson exhibited seven head of this, to
Vermont, new breed Of cattle. They are Of uniform
color, squirrel gray, and, like the Shorhorns, are
heavy cattle and look better for beef than the
dairy; his three-y ears-old bull noble fellow,
was the heaviest animal on the ground
GRADES
OF these there were a large number Indeed
the show in cattle has not probably been sur
passed by any former fair in this county, but
owing to the heavy rain our reporter did not take
the names Of the exhibitors and will only say
they were fully up to the average Of other years
OXEN
The string of oxen numbered fourteen yoke,
mostly from Hyde Park and Morristown, and
made very ditabe appearance. In the trial
Of draft oxen William s. Gbert's twin oxen, pre-
cisely alike and six years old, took first money,
and A, J Hubbards of Hyde Park, second.

FINE WOODS.
Hiram Dodge of Morristown had two-year-old
buck and a pen of ewes which were all that
onr renorter noticed in fine-wool sheen there
is not much of a show in the northern part OF
Vermont farmers generally preferring the more
hardy Cotswolds and their grades.
SWINE.
The show in swine was small and we pass then
by, hoping that the county had better ones at nome
