| vorable, and the exhibition decided success
in all respects. The number of people in at
tendance probably exceeded 2O0O and the
little village was quite overrun with visitors,
for whose accommodation the citizens had
need to exert themselves-as they did-with
generous hospitality.
The show of cattle was credit to the
town, and surpassed that of last year both in
numbers and quality There were present
some 40 pairs of oxen and steers. The larg-
est exhibitor of cattle was @. f. Griffin,
whose herd of GO was represented by 1G spe.
cimens. j. Il o. j. Hale exhibited n two.
year.old thoroughbred Durham bull and 9th
er valuable stock. The heaviest oxen on the
grounds were Jed Starks six-year-ods, which
weighed $3.50. Extra good cattle were also
exhibited by Perry Hall, l.. M. Chase. e.

main feature of the show, good specimens
were not lacking. Handsome two and three
years old colts were shown by d. L. Tucker,
q. f. Griffin, o. b. Dix, b. +. Smith, Elijah

Very creditable poultry exhibits we're
made by Willard Weeks, G. O. Nash and Wal

varied and creditable and of fruits not less
so. Sumner Worden's entry of varieties of

plays of apples and the latter also exhibited
