There was also good show 10 the horse
department and the Improvement was bard
h less marked. IL greatly puzzled the
jadges TO select the four best colts from q
herd Of tsen,y good Cues. and il is quite
probable other good judges might have
made different selection 10 some cases.

the new Floral Hall which proved we'll
adapted 10 the purpose for which il was

be easily provided it will be the best, most
convenient building for fair purposes IN
the state. There was good display OF
fruit and vegetables, dairy aud farm uten-
sils aud other things OF which We have
not time TO speak. The premium list

and what the various judges considered
the best IN each class
There was considerable drunkenness the
two fret days, occssionad by the selling
Of shiskey 10 the bottle by ont lie par
tics. James Bradley Of Glens Falls, N
