The Chesapeake Agricultural Fair
opened last Tuesday with disagrceahle
weather and small number Of people
in attendance, but delightful change
in the atmosphere on Wednesday
brought thousands of visitors to the
grounds, which we're daily augmented
during continuance of fair. The..gatr
receipts were sufficient, we should say,
for the managers to pronounce the fair
a success, and the visitors, we believe,
were satisfied with the Recommendations
furnished and the manner Ill which they
were entertained. The races for the
most part were interesting, and the ex.
hiMts in several IF tlie departments
