 The Town hall last evening was filled with gay gathering, who rounded up the last hours of the fair in a most merry blast of gaiety. The festivities were carried on to a late hour. The City band of Meriden ren- dered several fine pieces and an evening of informal pleasure was enjoyed to the ut most.
 In spite of the rainy weather Wednesday the receipts of the three days this year were several hundred dollars ahead of the same days last year. Those of Thursday were $3,665.75.
 The success of the fair Is largely due to the earnest and faithful work of a few persons who take an interest in 1t. The president of the association, James A. Bill of Lyme, has devoted much time and influence to the pre- hminaries necessary to such 6 successful ex- hibition ss the one just closed. He has been one of the largest exhibitors of frst-class stock, which has taken very large number of premiums. His exhibit of sheep, was in six different classes as follows: Hamp- shiredoWns, Shropshiredowns, Nerinos, Soufhdowns, Cashmere and grades took eight sweepstakes, thirteen medals and sev- eral cash premiums. He exhibited 13Ssheep and 30 head of fne cattle, which took first premiums in nearly every class. He also had on exhibition fine display of farm products

They were won by the former by admirable trot- ting. On the third heat Lady Jefferson pressed T. Brigham closely till near the finish, when the latter broke and let the mare pass to first place. The fourth heat was closely driven. When near the finish both horses broke, but Lady Jefferson regained herself in time to win the heat. The fifth heat was won by T. Brigham. Lady Jeffer- son broke several times and was thereby left in fourth place.
