BDDEFoRD, Oct 7.-The York County
| Agricultural Society's exhibition opened this
morning, under the most favorable auspices.
With the exception of a slight shower, the day
has been a perfect one and despite the mud
aud water after the recent rains the farmers of
the surrounding towns have hocked here in
large numbers, in fact, the attendance pro-
| misses grand financial success. 1t can safely
be said that for years the society has not made
| SO good showing as it has done today, and
considering the amount of stock, it is the best
show that has exhibited in this locality this
year.
| The stock pen has been the great demand of
tae Industrious farmer and the secretaries de
voted the entire forenoon to making eatries.
| A rev secretary's Office has been constructed
| on the left, near the entrance. The stock is
| all shown in pens alongside the fence, from the
| gate to the northwest corner and thence along
| the southwesterly side OF the ground.

the finest display of stations, mares and colts
that has ever been seen upon these grounds.

Kennebunkport. She is six years old, and
sired by Palmer Knox. She has been entered
in the Society's trot, free for all horses raised
and always owned in York county which oc.
ours tomorrow afternoon.
En the Hall.
The arrangement of the exhibits in the hall,
as far as had been completed up to the middle
OF the afternoon. is excellent, although it gave
one but faint idea of what an extensive show
this department of the fair was to be. A fea-
ture of the display will be the great variety
and freshness of the articles entered. The
work of tastily arranging the exhibits has
entailed no end of work upon the committee,
and that they have succeeded admirably in the
undertaking will be manifested when the hall
is thrown open to the public this svening.
Among those who have already arranged
their exhibits are the Sanford Mills company,
which shows handsome carriage robes; Mou-
sam River Mills, Smyrna rugs; Goodall Man
