Display Of the Stock.
The grand cavalcade of all stock and
teams on the race course was decidedly
the finest and largest ever seen here, and
was an object lesson long to he remem-
bered Of the progress achieved by the farm
ers and stock raisers Of the county during
the past few years.
The only accident of the exhibition &C.
Cured during the second trotting race this
afternoon. when the sulky of Leland STAN
FORD, owned by Mr.. Jas. p. Gott, collided
with another sulky, breaking a wheel and
causing the horse to run away. The driver
or stanford was thrown to the ground and
received a scalp wound. The horse made
the circuit of the track three times with
the broken sulky attached to him, but was
hnally captured and again put in the race
by his plucky driver.

The republican nominee for Congress in
this district, Mr.. Geo. l.. Wellington, was
expected here today. but has not put in an
appearance. The fair will come to a close
this evening" the mammoth pumpkin will
retire to its native heath to furnish pies
for the family, the gigantic OK will go
back to browse upon familiar hills, the
"skin game" promoter will seek pastures
new, and the side-show fiend will fold
his gaudy tent and silently steal away.
