ADDISON COUNTY FAIR.-The FAR
opened Wednesday with the usuA
| operations of opening days. which was
mostly taken up with entering and mr.
Ranging exhibits. Yesterday every
thing was in place, aud the beautiful
weather brought large numbers.
There is a new arrangement of tl,c
various halls. Floral Hail is now IN
the second floor of the new sheen barn
The display of fruit and vegetables was
i'll the old Floral Hall, which also had
some of the exhibits of the Mechanical
Hall. The old Mechanical Hall was
occupied by sheep pens TO hold the
overlooking exhibits in that line.
Inc falr being day later in the
week than usual prevents our giving
much of report, and we can ONLY
notice the general features. The dis
play of cattle was smaller tnan usual,
the exhibits being mostly by breeders
who have before contributedin this line.
There was large and good show of
horses and colts, the entries being more
numerous than usual.
The show of swine was nowhere.
Merino sheep were the feature of the
fair. Every pen in the new barn was
filled and the ground floor of the old |
Mechanical Hall also. When we state
that there were over forty exhibitors,
aud some four or five hundred sheen. |
our readers who were not there can
form some idea Of the show. 1t was
without exception the largest and best
lot ever seen in the state, and most of |
the best tlocks IF the county were rep
resented. We shall give further par
ticulars of this show next week.
The fruit and vegetable display was
smaller than usual, several who have
usually contributed being absent this
year. NJ. De Poutee of New Haven
easily carried off the honors in this dc
partment, having one of the largest dis
plays of fruit ever seen at the fair, con.
sisting of apples, pears aud grapes, and
a large exhibit of vegetables and
grains.
Floral Hall was not well filled, but
had many very fine specimens of nee
die and fancy work. The flowers did
not make the usual large display, but
two or three exhibitors did themselves
much credit.
The show of carriages and agricnl-
tufai implements was one OF the largest
ana most varied we have had al our
fairs. IL. b. Dodge had LARGE OK.
