THE MIDDLETOwN FAIR.
A Large Attendance-Ihe Premi- |
ums Awarded in Vegetables and
FlOwers-The Racing.
Specially Reported for the Republican.
MIDDLErowS, DEL, Oct. 2.
The attendance to-day amounted to
about 5000. The weather has been warm
with a slight tendency towards wilt
ing unpleasantness. The hack men
have been reaping a good harvest,
while the pea nut men, and the man with
the flying horses and the sundry other
insignificant appendages to a large
country fair, literally bent beneath the
weight of his accumulation of coin.
The attendance for this day at least
came up to general expectation, and
all, especially the members of the as.
sociation, are gratifed at the result.
All the departments, have been visit
ed by the committee of awards, and
their labors have been anticipated by
US in the more particular ones and given
to the public before they have been
handed to the Secretary Of the Associa-
ton. To-day we have gone through
the laborious work of gathering sthe
numbers and searching for correspon-
ding names. The result we give be-
low:
