The opening day of the fair was stormy
and the whole program was set ahead one
day. Some stock was brought to the
grounds Monday, and quite an amou mt of
fruit and other products was entered Tues
day morning, but nothing was really done
until Wednesday, when everything had
been put in working order. In the cattle
department there was about an average
exhibit. The show of horses and colts was
very small. Sheep were well represented,
and the specimens shown of the different
breeds were well developed and in good
condition. The Hampshire Down buck
shown by Hon. l. G. Reynolds of Brooks is
the best specimen of this breed ever exhib-
tied at the fair. His weight is $50 pounds,
and Mr.. Reynolds has right to be proud
of this fine example of his skill as a breeder.
In the poultry house was to be seen the
usual coops of fowl, which is as much as
could be expected considering the smallness
OF the premiums offered.
| The fruit department was not as we'll
filled as in some other years, but the quality
of the exhibit was good. The display of
vegetables was as good as could be expect
ed for dry season. Among the exhibitors
of flowers were Mrs. j. B. Nealley, Monroe
Mrs Benz. Fish, Winterport; Miss Beckey
Rich, Jackson: Mrs. B. F. Harding, Troy
Mrs. F. NJ. Barker, East Troy; Mrs. F.
| Barden, Monroe; Miss Alice Twombly,
Monroe Mrs Oshea Plummer, Monroe. 1t

The attendance throughout the fair was
as good as could have been expected, al
though not up to some former years.

the trotting classes and the races were well
contested and well managed, for the most
part,
