CORNISH, September 3.-The twelfth an
nual fair Of the Ossipee Valley Union Agri-
cultural Association began its four days
meeting today, under the most flattering
auspices.
The exhibition park was well filled with
spectators, and the display of cattle did
honor to this ancient and thrifty valley.
In the agricultural building the ladies
make fine display of needle work on the
good old-fashioned substantials.
The opening day, however, is chiefly given
ny to cattle, and the exhibition was large
and superior.
There were some fine young horses. chiefly
of the get Of Orville, by Redwood, of the
thoroughbred Kentucky stock.
In cattle, the Herefords have the lead,
largely from imported stock, originating
with Burleigh & Burleigh. o. B. Churchill
had his imported cow Maggie and four heif-
ers bred from her. This cow was $500 ami
NAL, and is still in prime condition.
In the town teams, Freedom took first
prize and Cornish second.
