WLNDHAM COUNTY FATR.
A zine show Of Cattle and q Good Az
ernre Exhibition.

wednesday, the nrAt DAY OF tnb lhlIi WAS
rather cool, but on the whole about as favor
able time for the exhibition as could be
possible. There was large attendance, fall
ing but a trihe short OF the largest for sever
al years. and the average of responsibility
was never before 30 high. The rowdy ele-
ment was the least conspicuous that we have
ever seen II at county fair In many re-
speots IL was the best show that has been
held on the county fair grounds for long
time. The display Of live stock has seldom
been excelled either in quantity or in quality.
The show Of working oxen and steers was
especially fine. There we're six town teams
of ten or more yoke each four teams Of OK
en- and two of steers. There were few cattle
among them all not above an average quail
ty, and the most were finely proportioned,
and Of heavy weight according to age. An
OK fancier could hardly fail to be pleased
with the display as the teams passed round
the track preceded by the band. We have
noted the weight Of a few Of the heavy oxen,
or those weighing over $500. j. b. Ware ~
Son of Townshend had pair weighing 1906
A. s. Powers of Athens, a pair weighing
1910 Henry Crawford of Putney pair 37lS;
