VRRoENNRs, Sept. 81.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired for clearness, although the north
wind was keen. The display of agricultural
implements is the largest and most valuable
ever displayed in this county, and, many
say, the best shown in this State. The cord
reaper and binder machines attracted much
attention. The sulky pillow, the "Casaday,"
exhibited by II. A. Foot & Son of Middle
bury, from South Bend, Ind, is a valuable
addition 10 the labor saving machinery of the
day.
Floral Hall looks well, and is well filled,
considering the hurried way in which the
work had to be done. The floral display by
the State School is most pralseworthy. The
large Mexican cactus and the century plant
were prominent, aud the pyramid of forty
five different flowers, verbcnas, ETC., looked
beautiful. The display of foliage plants was
superior, and of pots of flowers and plants
there were nearly sixty.
