Special Correspondence OF the Republican.
\ DOVER, Sept .2S.--Ths oft-repsated re
mark, that an agricultural fair Is moth
ing unless, races figure largely in tn,
list OF attractions, was fully exemplifet
to-day, as scarcely q score of visi
tors, not connected with the State Fail
in any sense, paid their fare at the
gate and took long and quiet look st
the diffsreLt displays. But 1t was fsi
different from what day at the "cat
tie show" usually is--it was dull
very dull, and the managers realised
that they had made something OF mis-
take In their well-msant and commend
able intention Of having one day de-
voted solely to the exhibit Of agricul.
tural products, 80.
| A great many exhibitors spent th q
day in getting their displays In order
and at night fall there was not single
exhibit out Of its place.
The display Of stock this year forms
q much more prominent part Of the
exhibition than in past years, and IL
really the greatest feature of the show
In all divisions-horses, cattle, sheer
and swins--it is very complete, and II
constitutes. collection Of which the
managers may we'll feel proud.
