etc. The music furnished by this COM
psny is always delightful feature Of
the fair and the great exposition would
not be complete yfthout it.
The Watts-I. .amberd company has, in
the east wing, a display Of portiers, cur
tsaii1is, lace cur ns, and so on present
ing a rich and magnificent appearance
alfa. lending pleasing effect to the hall
sFIis Il m exhibit for which there is no
nii6nf offered and tire company IS to
66mmended for voluntarily going to
the r6uble to place such a grand ex-
hIbit IN the lhaIl and for giving a finish
ing touch that has so much to do with
its charming appearance.
Cunningham Brothers were not forget
fuI of the big show, and they have a
large case of boots and shoes, which is
supposed to belong to Mechanical hall,
but which, on account of the character,
as wen as the fact that that hall is
oyer-run with exhibits, is placed in floral
hall. 1t is stationed in the left wing
on the south side and adds to the COM
pieteness of the hall.
Finest Display of Cattle.
The cattle department this year is
the finest ever seen in this section of
the state, and is attracting much atten-
tion not only among the farmers, but
every one else also.
John McDougall, of Pennsboro, has a
herd of sixteen Aberdeen Angus, rs fine
specimens as are to be seen anywhere
John d. Pickens, of Quiet Dell, has u
head of the same kind of cattle which are
lust as fine. In addition to these, w. T.
Morrison, of voIga, Barbour county, has
cattle under this class ON exhibition.
They are of the same high quality as
the others.
William NJ Jarvis, of Sycamore Dale,
! exhibiting 26 short-horn Durhams
which are the most select of his stock
farm. Also in this class. Hiram Post, OF
Sycamore Dale. has I5 head of as fine
specimens as the most up-to-date drover
or cattle raiser could wish to see.
Two herds Of Herefords are pre-emi-
nent for quality and weight in the de
partment. Greene Brothers, of jackson
county. have dozen head, which arc
pronounced the best that ever came to
Harrison county. L. d. Bond, OF UPshur
county, also has a herd of fine animals
in this class.
There is scarcity of Hoisteins, Jer-
seys and Attorneys, but very few OF
these being on exhibition. The usual
droves of .Holsteins exhibited by L. H.
and J. II. Mines are missing.
The cattle department as whole IS q
gratifying success, and the marshals and
exhibitors are proud of it.

Berkshire, Poland China, Chester White
and other breeds. Among the exhibitors
are NJ. A. Titchenal, Lafayette Blake and
John Wilson, of Pennsboro.
Fine Specimens of Sheep.
The sheep pens are all filled and some
of the hog pens had to he used for that
dcpnrtment. The exhibits are fine spec
imens. and, perhaps, the best in the his
tory Of the fair. Among the classes
are Middle Wool, Long Wool, Shropshire,
Southdown and other kinds.
Poultry Exhibits Complete.
The poultry house is not the least at
traction. There are a great many lovers
of fowls, and the display is simply suf-
fcicnt to satisfy them. Nearly all the
coops are filed with chickens, turkeys
ducks and pigeons.
Some of the classes are light brahmas,
cochins, plymouth rocks. bufr leg horn
bronze turkey, black minorcas, white
