The exhibits in this department were
very far in excess of that of past ears.
though the increased space in the new
building made it appear to those who
had been IN the custom of attending the
fair heretofore. meagre. The exhibit
here certainly waSa fine one. Miss Alice
Hitch, of Salisbury, Md, showed long
list of preserved fruits of every conceiv-
able variety, numbering in all about so
kinds. Mrs. Kate Davis, Of North East,
Nd, exhibited even more than the for
mcr, showing 81 kinds of preserved and
conserved fruits. Miss S.lIie Hooker, of
Belair, Hartford county, made an unusual
show, having on exhibition 1870 OF more
kinds of preserves, pickles, jams, and
other products OF the household. Mrs
O. NJ. f. Wilson, of Salisbury, Wicom-
leo county, made very attractive dis
play, she having on exhibition II varie-
ties of preserved fruit, some of it tempt
ing, indeed. Miss Kate Reese, OF Elk
ton, showed to the multitude what could
be done on the spot, and to say that
some of the tempting preparations of
fruit she displayed would almost induce
a man just risen from the table to sit
down again, is not saying much. She
exhibited in all the luxury of perfection,
preserved and canned apples, pears,
ounce, peach, and an endless variety,
numbering in all over bakers dozen
and half of packages. Mrs. James
Naudain showed an if not even better
than all named before, fully as tempting

LIVE sToCK, POULTRY. &c.

In the stock department the exhibit
both in quantity and quality was far
ahead of any former year. Notwth-
standing the fact that some twenty five
or thirty additional pens were put up
this season, all were filed and a large
number of cattle were sheltered in tenn
porary shedding put up by the exhibit
Ors. 1t would be difficult to get together
at county fair finer lot of horses and
cattle than those shown here this season.
Among the principal exhibitors of stock,
we note the following: jonathan Pick
ering showed handsome Jersey bull, al
so fine yearling. h. H. HodgSon, of
New London, Pa, made one of the fin
est displays on the ground, his exhibit
consisting of thirty-one head of Guern-
scy. grade snoIt horns, and other fine
registered and non-rcgistcred stock.
Henry Wood, of Elkton, exhibited a fine
Jersey cow-''Bel:e of Cecil''-also a
hcifer of the same stock. Chas. Black

oxen, also some splendid specimens of
