HORSES.
BY universal Judgment the exhibition
OF Horses was better than ever before.
In this department, the two most notable
horses Gin their ciasses) were the French
Percheron DraughU stallion ''famphile"
exhibited by john A. Wilson. OF Will
mington He is tine specimen OF horse
flesh, and the farmers of this county
should not lose the opportunity to avail
themselves of his services. No less uotlce-
able in this class was his two year old
horse ''DeIaware Wilkes beautiful
chestnut sorrell. Both these horses de
servedy attracted general attention, es
pecally as they had taken first premiums
at the Pennsy lvanla State Fair. George
Ainscow exhibited four colts and one
riding horse, one sorrel, 3 year Old colt

FARM PRODUCE.
Without intending any reflection upon
those vino had this department iii charge,
it was here that the yearly visitor to the
Elkton fair missed the familiar face aud
form of the late Arthur W. Mitchell.
How Zealously he worked Tor the success
of this department, not merely at far
time, but all the year round How in
duStriouslv he distributed seeds of new
plants and vegetables to his farmer
friends throughout the county, to have
them excel i'll the exhibition vi superior
farm products. The Cecil county fair
never had Il more uuSeltish friend than
inct s>antly for its success, and no one
man contributed more to the interest o.
Cecil farmers by the introduction of new
varieties of fruits and vegetables We
missed his cordial greeting every time
we passed through this pavilion, as We
have no doubt his courteous and Elf
cIent successors M@ssrs, Nicholas T.
NJ .nly and George Denny also did We
believe that every Cecil county farmer
when he entered that department re-
called with kindly feelings the memory
of Art Mitchell.
