 IooRREsPoNDENoE,)..a ; The Holland Go. Agricultural Socie- tvs Bath annual exhibition, Oct. 9th. 7th and 8th, was eminently satisfactory to all concerned. The weather was splendid ''fair" weather. GA good shower Monday would have laid the dust some.) The great attraction was the grange exhibft, and well did it fultill it's mission A large tent 100 and 60 feet was erected for their display, and it was well filled, so much so that on the last day one could not see half there was to see As yo6 entered on the right was Bolton grange, No. AT, which made an excellent ahow for year old or- ganization. Manchester grange, No. 31, May 18th, 1885: One very mo- ticeable exhibit was the collection of some 50 varieties of grasses shown in the main building for want of space in the grange tent Strawberry plants with green and ripe fruit were shown by the grange, Glastonbury, 26, instituted February 1885. made fine display of fruits and vegeta- bles Hale Bros. had specimens of every variety raspberry. South Windsor, 28,s was 8 good vegetable show, sopae excel4 lent watermelons q guess, didn't stop td taste), tobacco, &c. East Hartford, 37, made a fine display of fancy articles. Mapping grange, No. 30, had 1,2OO arti- cles on exhibition. Arches dedicated to Ceres, made of grains unthreshed, Pc mona, the letters formed of punches Of grapes, and Flora, the letters formed of flowers, were quite attractive. Ellington, 46, the youngest of the seven, made the largest exhibit of almost everything farm products, dairy, fruits, fancy work iu end less variety and beauty; paintings, cnfis oslties champagne Gl4er and oider jelly from Thompson's cider mill. Mrs. O. N. Loomis, the oldest member of the grange, showed portrait of herself, painted 50 years ago, and recent photograph, but the finest thing of all was the arcsa on the east face the letters ssE DnI Grange" were made of corn cobB Buti across, and black bean in the center of each piece. The other side the letters were of wheat and buckwheat background. Every grain grown in New England was on the arch. A full descrip- tion would not convey 8 fair idea of it. Ellington took 1st premium. $50 Wap- ping 2d, $25; East Hartford 3d, S1O. Discretionary premiums were given Manchester, $10; Glastonbury, South Windsor and Bolton $5 each.

G, Simmons < Co.,, Hartford, case shoes lDoane; con- fectionery; Mary Yost, case of cake, pastry, Sc. Randall, albums Theo. Q. Hoffman, taxidermist; and the usual quantity of the art productions of the fair sex as we'll as useful. The show of fruit was not as large as last year, nor the display of vegetables.
 A case of gilt edge butter from Spring Hill farm, D. s Henry's, looked as nice as usual. J. H Cl0ughs the Holland flor ist, made beautiful display of flowers.
 The show of cattle must have been very good, judging by the number of entries.
 The exhibit of horses, mares and colts was very fine. Some very promising colts. were shown, showing that this rsneh of farming industry IS receiving attentid 1t deserves. s : ss- sssss7fY ;
 Gov. Harrison arrived on tho grounds between and o'clock Thursday; and was greeted with cheers.
