The Fair.-For several days previous to
the Goth annual exhibition of the Agricul'u-
raj society prospects preceding an exhibition
on the society's grounds were never better
However much a large attendance on the
present occasion is TO be hoped for it is doubt

essence of an exhibition TO be compared with
that tasted of al exhibitions by similar socie.

so had the exhibition been held on the old
days.
The grounds have been SO perfectly
cleaned, and the lower branches of the beauA
tiful shade trees Topped off, as 10 make them
more enticing than ever A person may now
stand at a certain point of the ground and
distinctly see what is going on at any other
point. The grove gives protection from the
heated ray of an autumn sun, with its dis
pleasures and disadvantages, differing in this
way from other Fair grounds of this Stule
The entry of stock of all kinds and ma
chinery was never before equaled. Before the
Fair begun there were sixteen horses on the
grounds to be entered in the different trials Of
