articles for exhibition.

all breeds being well represented
They were an exceedingly good lot
, The Jerseys had the lead, and the
herds of N. A. & G. II. Terrill and
Cleme Mt Smith, Morristown, were Of
a.high order and called to themselves
good share of attention and favor
able comment This stock was also

sey stock, and W. NJ. Small ten head
of grade Guernsey stock.
In horses there was a good ex-
hibit, and they we're excellent in
breeding and qualsy. In no other
county of its size in the State is
more being done to improve the
breed and quality of our horses
than in Lamoille. Well bred stations

premium on his fine bay stallion by
Wards Lambert, Clement Smith, of

Campbell, Morristown, third. There
was quite a contest for second prem
ium. Mr.. Campbell showed with his
horse, Don Alfonso, seven colts, most
of them to harness, all good ones and
the horse was in good form. Mr..
Smith showed with his horse four
weanlings. They are both good
horses. There was some division of
opinion as to the merits of the horses
and their stock and many good
judges thought the committee made
an error, but they did what they be-
lieved right, no doubt.
M. j. Dwinell showed a good two
year-old colt by the Niles horse, by
Ben Franklin.
Geo. 2. Randall, Hyde Park, show
ed a good two-year-oId. There were
other good colts OF aaNxages, H. w.

pairs.

rage horses, twenty-eight colts, one,
two and three years old, and twenty
seven brood mares were shown.

Oxford Downs sheep.

draft horses, steers. team oxen, thor
oughbred and grade Hereford and |
Polled stock were also exhibited.
Wednesday brought the largest
crowd the grounds had ever seen, es-
timated all the way from four to
seven thousand. Certain it is that
there were people and people and
teams almost beyond calculation.
The day was beautiful and everything
passed off in first-class style. The
trial of draft horses and oxen attract
ed attention in the forenoon.
Thursday drew a fair-sized crowd.
The day was devoted principally to
the exhibition of horses and trot-
ting.

FLORAL HALL
has never presented an appearance SO
attractive as this year, being crowd
ed full of exhibits from one end to the
other. The showing in the ladies de-
partment was of an unusually high
order, and completely filled the space
usually devoted to it III the south
part of the main building. The exhi-
bition of fruit, vegetables, butter,
cheese, sugar, honey, etc, in the west
wing, and of all sorts of farming i'm
Elements, there and outside the hall,
was very large and complete.
THE RACES
without doubt were the best ard fur
nishe more sport for the crowd than
any trotting here for some time.
| Three races were trotted each after
