THE DANBURx FAIR.

First Day of the Twenty.Thfrd | Annual Exhibition The Usual | Large Variety of Exhibfts-Excur-l sion Trains From This City-List of Entries. The twenty-third annual exhibition of the Danbury Agricultural society opened at the fair grounds yesterday. The at tendance compared favorably with the patronage of the opening day of previous fairs, over 5000 people being present. Yesterday was the best day of the week for visitors to see the exhibits as the at tendance was not large enough to crowd the many tents and buildings.
 Yesterday was cattle day. Long trains of marking oxen were on exhibition in side the trotting ring where many of them were awarded premiums by the judges.
 Horses other than those entered in the MarTett of the Boston publication, the American Horse Breeder, who will con- tinue his inspection of the stock today.
 The display in some of the departments is much better than usual. The building that contains the bench show is consider ably enlarged and as usual is filled with dogs of many sizes and breeds.
 There is much of interest in the poultry show, which in addition to the usual va riety of fowls contains several odd exhib- it's, among which are barred owls, wild wood ducks, macaws, sulphur crest cuck- atoos, white Java sparrows, shell paro- quets, ring doves, zebra finch, which is 8 beauty, woodchucks, squirrels, blue heron, Cuban parrots and others. Among the ex- hibitors of poultry are Alison B. Todd of New Haven, who shows houdans and light bantams, and Miss Venelia H. Todd of this city, ,who exhibits silver duck wing game bantams.
 As usual large number of fakirs, ped dlers, and sideshow men are on hand. Many of the sideshows are interesting
