FAIR Al PROSPECT. The third annual Cattle
Show and Fair under the direction Of South Branch
Grange was held at Prospect, on Tuesday last The
| threatening weather of Monday promised ill., but
the morrow brought pleasant, breezy day In all
things the fair was fully up to the average, and in
some respects far ahead. The attendance was as
large as could be eNpected,-about six hundred
The display of agricultural products was not as
good as it should have been. The ladies' depart
ment was rather ahead of the mems in variety and
| number OF entries. There was a good display of
stock one of the most pleasing exhibits was that
of apples. In variety we doubt if the county fairs
will exceed it. Among the curiosities was 'negro
pumpkin raised by Freeman Partridge from seed
from Cuba, and red-eyed beans raised by H. L.
Clifford. w. c. Perkins three mammoth squashes
were especially fine in appearance. The largest
weighed 10! pounds Ida and Ella Cove showed
the prettiest doll of all. j. Libby had on exhibition
the cabinet creamery and churn for which he is
agent; also concentrated food for cattle The Eure
ka road maker was on trial near the grounds near
" all day. The only drawback to all this fcstivity
was the numerous gambling schemes which were
allowed to at full blast No fair is so small but
it is infested by more of these vicious for
tune wheels, or dice boxes During the day we
to protest against this nuisance Committees must
do every thing i'll their power to enforce the law
and exclude these swindlers, not only from fair
grounds but from their vicinity, unless they wish
| the young to be started on the gamblers road. Not
the least result of these fairs is that 1t brings the
farmers and their wives out into society, at least
once a year. The boys always have good time
| too, baseball being the favorite game. Below we
