The eleventh annual fair of the Hartford
County Agricultural Society began on Tues
day, with an attendance OF about 1000 per
sons. Entries continued to come in until
noon, when the WORKOUT clerks were order.
ed to receive no more. The spacious grounds
were not filled with people, but the scene by
that time was animated and picturesque
The various side shows-of Punch and Judy
the Happy Family, the Marionettes, the
modern Sampson, the Electric Lady, &c.
were in fall blast, and in every direction one
came across humping machines, the wheel
game, pin boards, lifting machines and ven,
ders of various things all of whom seemed to
be reaping harvest of dimes and nickels,
gathered from the unwise and foolish.
The display of horses was large and en-
braced many handsome animals, particularly
in the light draft class, in which fine stations
were exhibited as follows

finest and most valuable display, in this class,
perhaps. was that of Messrs. VIM. F. and
Geo. A. Hays Short Horns, which consisted
of an imported bull and three imported COWS

best animals in this class ever introduced

Handsome Shropshires were shown by H.
D. Farnandis; Cotswolds and grades by

There were but few entries of swine, the
presence of hog cholera in the county having
doubtless deferred many breeders from send
ing specimens from their pens. Among the
exhibitors were P. H. Rutledge, Berkshires;
VIM. Dawson, grades b. F. Warner, Jersey
Reds. Yorkshires were shown by VIM. Da-
vison. tt ass ,..f+. 49,.
The display of poultry was not quite as
large as last year, but there were many coops

class was that of Hon. George Cotton, of An.
napolis. 1t numbered about 70 entries, and
embraced almost every known distinct varie
ty of chickens, and was very interesting.
Among them were the Japanese silkies, with
pure white, fluffy feathers, as soft as silk, and
blue eyelids huge cochin chinas, as large as
turkeys; beautiful black and golden Polish,
with immense ncrests; tiny bantams, and
. games of all kinds, which were as proud and
fearless as Indian chieftains. Mr.. Cotton de-
serves thanks for the trouble and expense in
volved In getting his fine exhibit to our fair.
B. T. Minnick also showed II varieties of
handsome fowls, and AL. Bosley, of Tow
sontown, had SO entries. Other exhibitors
