 The Second Day of the Exhfbit-CrOwds
 of People.
 The weather was fine yesterday on the Woodbridge hills, with gentle and healthy breezes, whose breath gave life to the occa- sion.
 The immense crowds which usually -as- semble on such occasions were made glad by meeting their numerous friends from Wood bridge and Bethany and adjoining towns, and by seeing the fine exhibits in the tent of fruit and vegetables. Fancy work was abundantly displayed. The poultry show was fine, and many entries were made in ad- dition to those made on Wednesday-numer- ous entries in all the classes. The Cheshire band was on the ground early in the day discoursing fine music to the multitudes of listeners. Good order prevailed throughout the day, and the society has sustained the reputation they have gained at former fairs. The drive from the fair homeWards was lively, as all who have attended will testify. and many good horses were out.
