HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. 



By previous arrangement the Hillsborough County Fair 

 was held on the 30th of SeDtember, and the 1st and 2d of 

 October, in connection with a general Exhibition of Horses? 

 in the city of Manchester. In consequence of the severe 

 rain of the opening day, the attendance was thin and the 

 entries few, though subsequently there was a great increase 

 of people, stock, manufactured articles, and the products 

 of the farm. 



The number of horses of all classes on the ground, was 

 but little less than two hundred, embracing many of the 

 finest animals in the State, as will be seen by the list of 

 awards. 



In the department of neat stock, there were some fine 

 animals, working oxen, bulls and cows, but falling far short 

 of the usual exhibitions of the society. Among those 

 making the best show, we may name C. H. Campbell of 

 Amherst, W. M. Kelley of Manchester, and J. M. Rowell. 



The swine presented by J. A. Stearns — the same as shown 

 at the State show — were superior animals, and received 

 general commendation, as were the fat pigs of Mr. Hodg- 

 man. The sheep were almost entirely wanting, only three 

 being entered. In the tent exhibition were many good 

 things, which have been noticed by the judges. The annual 

 address was delivered by Rev. M. Willis of Nashua. 



The following awards were made : 



VEGETABLES AND SEEDS. 



J. M. Rowell, Manchester, for best show of seed 



corn, $2 00 



Henry R. Barrett, Amherst, second best, 1 00
