burgh, VIM. Huston of Charleston, all
made good showing of cattle and were
among the prize winners. The dis
play of fat cattle was small. There
were but few ayershires exhibited; the
holsteins were quite numerous and as
lot made an exceptional good show
ing. The cattle exhibition appeared
to attract the attention of the visitors
as there were large number of peo-
! pie constantly around the sheds.
SHEEP.
While we should say that there was
not very great number of exhibitors
Of sheep the pens were all filled and

| good one. . S. A. Cleveland Of Coven-
try showed thirty-four animals and

; registered oxfords, merinoes, south

favor with the exhibitors, as there
were large number of these animals

POULTRY.
The exhibition of poultry did not
seem to be quite as large as has been
shown some years, but they may have
made up in quality what they lacked
in quantity. This was another place
where we were rather unfortunate in
learning tho names of the different
owners, but will give those we were
able to get. John Reed of Barton had
pens of white wonders, buff cochins
and games; n. M. Hubbard, Barton,
made creditable showing with his
brown leghorns and white wyan-
dottes, showing twenty four birds;
Frank Tower, Barton, exhibited some
minorcas, and FL. Leland some plym-
outh rocks, pigeons, ring doves and
hares. Geo. Reed had his valuable
English beagles in the poultry house
and they attracted the usual amount
of attention; John Leland and Geo.
Norton also exhibi ted some dogs.
SUGAR, HONEY, BUTTER AND CHEESE

in these lines and they made a most
creditable showing. Elmer Barclay
showed some sugar which it would be
hard to beat, while Caleb Clark and
A. S. Babcock were good competitors.
