ether Deyons in Jerseys, 6 entries Dur hams, Summers herd of 9 head from Woodstock, and two others in Swiss, w. R. Fisk's herd of 12 from Mystic.
 Three entries of trained steers, Judge Holman's of Holland, 0. D. Richardsons from West Brookield, Mass, and H. P. Taft's from Uxbridge, Mass, the latter being the ones which so long held the un- wearied attention of the crowd, while go- ing through their balancing, see-sawing, walking on their knees, sitting, etc. Grade and native stock, 21 entries, including Edwin Joslyn's herd of grade Jerseys.
 In working cattle there were 12 entries of steers-6 of oxen, of draft oxen. In addition to the above we will consider the 242 pairs of working cattle exhibited in town trains, the several combined strings lacking but a few feet of reaching around the entire half mile circuit We have n cattle show indeed Not alone on the quantity can we boast the grade of work ing stock, the fine thoroughbreds in herds and single exhibits, were during the entire first. t:.day surrounded by an..admiring crowd, and the farmers of the vicinity had an ex- traordinary opportunity to compare the points of the different breeds. The man. agers were only disappointed in the matter of Holstein exhibits,-a herd promised for the fair following to appear.
 Mir. Summers herd of Durhams was the same that this year took first premiums at the R. I. State, the New England and Bay State, as well as minor fairs. THE DOG SHOW
 On both days drew endless processions of visitors away from the other attractions. This show grows better and better year by year. The widening fame of the show is drawing the best dogs of the country, as the society employs only judges where de- cisions stand unquestioned among dog ex- perts. The classes of dogs accustomed to bear off the honors at other local fairs here find more formidable competitors for the honors. Several noted dogs, whose entry blanks bore lists of prizes won in this country and England, figure 2d on the premium list given below. Both the dog and hen shows were honored by visitors whose names, if given, would be accepted as authority, to be ahead of that of the Bay State Society at Boston, which has been considered at the head, this season, in these departments
 At intervals there were exhibitions of trick dogs in the tent, and of the dog which howled very recognizable accom- paniment to any tune played.
 The fine deer hounds and St. Bsrnnrds drew many admirers about their kennels, as did all the long rows of spaniels, ter. riers and pugs. The big cat calmly rested in its decorated cage, gazing complacent- ly on the many who surrounded it-hand. some, fat, good at,-and weighing 30 pounds.
