CECIL's LAST FAIR DAY.

ELkTON, Mo-, Oct. 10.
The fair of the Cecil County Agri-
cultural Society closed this evening,
and the result was not only satisfac-
tory but highly encouraging to the
management. The attendance on
Wednesday and Thursday was very
good, and to day the number present
ranged between seven and eight thou
sand. The dust was awful, but peO-
Pile good naturally endured it, viewed
the exhibits thoroughly, and enjoyed
the spirited races to their hearts con-
tent.
In the matter of exhibits the fair
was as successful as any ever given on
this Peninsula. The contributions
were so plentiful that there was not
sufficient room for their tasteful dis
play, but this will be accepted by the
managers as a suggestion of what may
be expected next season, and pa, para
tions will be made accordingly.
The chief practical feature Of the
fair was the cattle exhibits, which were
larger than those of the Dover and
Middletown fairs combined, and far
more interesting. They embraced
fine grades and ordinary stock, and
afforded fine opportunity of judging
between the respec i've merits of Al
dsrueys, Durhams, Shorthorns. Jer-
seys and common, domestic cattle.
In the cattle exhibits the big bull
exhibited by Perry Barnes, of Oarpen-
teri Point, was the chief attention.
He was a monster, certain. His weight
could not have been less than 3, 500
pounds, and he was not fat, either
lie was certainly king among the
cattle, and accepted the homage paid
him with royal complaisance. Among
the other cattle exhibits, and those
that were awarded premiums, were as
| follows:
