THE FAIR.
LAST DAY.

The Judges completed their work, and of
course there was some dissatisfaction, but it
is impossible to please all and it is nothing
strange that among so many meritoriouS an
nimals and articles, judges do not always
meet out exact justice.

we take pleasure in calling attention to Man
son Elsbree's fine Hambletonian stallion, one
of the best steppers on the ground. w. A.
Woods Lord Clyde, whose stock is his best
recommend. J. n. Haight's Prince Imperial

eral pens Of Chester White pigs, regular beau
ties.
