| Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, August 27.-The
| forty-eighth annual exhibition of the Agri-
cultural Society of Montgomery county
opened here this morning under most
favorable auspices, and viii continue for
four days. The grounds and race track are
in splendid condition, the exhibits are nu-
merous and attractive; there is every prom
ise of favorable weather, and public inter-
est in the success of the exhibition is
widespread throughout the country. These
conditions seem to guarantee the most sue
cessful meeting yet held by the society.
AS usual on the opening day, all exhibits
are not yet in position, but the mammoth
pumpkins, fat hogs, big cattle, hne poultry,
handsome horses, and an endless variety
of farm products and household articles are
already on exhibition Exhibits of various
kinds are still pouring in, and the display
Will not be complete until this afternoon.
The poultry exhibit is the largest in the
history of the fair and difficulty has been
found in providing sufficient space In this
department. In the cattle department II
has been found impossible to find accom-
modations for all exhibitors, ana many
have been turned away.
The schedule of entries for the, races,
which has already been published, lnsureS
number of interesting trials of speed,
both in the trotting and running events
