The management are busily engaged in us
ing all the means in their power to render the
twenty-ffth annual exhibition the most sue
cessful in the history of the Association. The
entries which have thus far been made are
extremely encouraging in every department
and especially so as regards the horse depart
meut. The steeds entered for the races give
promise OF an unusually fine exhibition, and
the lovers OF that sport will find themselves
well repaid for their attendance. The class
Of runners, trotters and PAGERS for which our
known stables, will grace the turf and:ensure
results gratifying to their owners and pleas
ing to the general public.
Outside OF this department however, we are
pleased to learn that an interest has been
awakened which will tend to make each of
the various departments more attractive than
usual This is as it should be. The failure
or success OF the county fair can really only
be attributed to one main cause, viz. the in
terest manifested by the people themselves in
an affair of the kind, or the apathy with
which they regard it.
A Fair is not run in the interest or for the
entertainment Of any one class of people, and
every effort made in narrow line must neces-
sariIy result in failure, as the recent exper-
fence at Elkton clearly proves. The Easton
Ledger In a recent issue hits the nail square
on the head as the following extract will
show:
''SOme newspapers have recently been Sc
we're In denOuncing certain attractions that
have been introduced at county fairs. They

Fair 1t E!kton, was given up entirely to the
farmers and their families. There was not a

gambling device was eliminated and even
horee-facang was dispensed with for that day.

A HEAVY Storm.

The central portion of Hartford county was
visited on Monday afternoon by very severe
wind, hail and rain storm, which did vast

fury the most. The stones were reported in
several places to be as large as hen eggs, some
of them measuring three and ahalf inches,
and the unfortunate persons and animals who
were caught without shelter suffered severely
The tobacco crop in upper Hartford is said to
have been almost ruined.
