The stallion show,

| The Stallion Show, last Saturday. was not as
large as was anticipated, in either the number of
horses or spectators. Several causes combined to
produce this result, not the least important of
which was a counter attraction, the May Fair at
Deerfeld. which was held the same day. The
rain during the forenoon made the roads quite |
muddy, and no doubt kept many at home who |
would have been present had the weather been |
pleasant.
At about o'clock, the public square having |
been cleared of vehicles Mr. S. E. Hanks mounted
a box and calling up the horses, introduced each
one to the audience. giving the name OF the AMI
| NAL, the owner. where and upon what terms the
season will be made, and such other information
as was desired The pleasant and impartial man
