 FRIDAY.
 The third and last day of the annual exhibition and fair was large day, some 10. 900 being in attendance. The society had three days of perfect wealth CT, which they have been blessed with in tn past years. In the early after noon the exhibits began to disappear and long before night the hall was stripped of most of it's exhibits. Every one did thriving business and the large number of fakers were perfectly satisfied with their three days results. The platform attractions were the same each day and were of @ high order. The Rossow Midgets in their boxing act and tumbling was an attraction that has not been seen on the grounds in previous years. The marvellous Sey- mours in their tumbling acts and Walter Stanton, the giant rooster, in 8 comedy bird act, furnished great amusement to the large crowd. Ga. deaux. the "Wire King" is certainly g wonder, and Secretary Briggs is to be congratulated for the fine attractions which he was fortunate enough to se. cure. The Temple quartet of Albany rendered 8 concert in the hall during the afternoon.
 Gartland's Band of Albany furnished music during the entire three days, to the satisfaction of every one.
 The exercises of Friday morning took place under the large tent erected fol | o-I ly attended than usual and the sides ol the tent were thrown open to accomo date the vast numbers.
 The large crowd was disappointed when President. Edward L. Van Deusen. announced that J H. Hale o Connecticut was unable to be present owing to illness. MT. Hale is tn, largest peach grower in the state O. Connecticut and is an able speaker or any subject of farming interest.
 The exercises were commenced a 9.30 by selection from Gartland' Band. followed by the Temple quartet Rev. H. M. Dnmbell of the St James Church then offered prayer Lieut.. Gov. John l.. Bates was the onl, speaker and his address was brief witty and interesting. He brought t, the society the congratulations ant greeting of his Excellency, Gov. Mur ray Crane, whose characteristics, make him so dear to us. He spoke highly o the beauty of Berkshire, and the ex hibits of the fair. After the exercise he took dinner with P. A. Russell. Tn exercises were closed by music and tn awarding of the premiums on fall an, summer crops.
 The trotting during the afternoon va not very interesting and there wer only three starters in eachi class. Le s., owned by Mrs. John VanTassel c Hudson, went lame while being work ed out for the 2.22 class and was with drawn from the race. The race wa won by Edward w., with Young Rule close second.
 Decker Boy made an excellent show ,, ing in the 2.19 class and won second The pony running race was not as ir teresting as anticipated and was easil won by Trilby, who was ridden by professional jockey weighing II . pounds. Red Eagle carried 165 pounds !, Summarizes:
