The exhibition was held on the 2Sth of July in a larpe meadow, 

 about five minutes' walk from the Town HaU ; and though the rain had 

 the effect of deterring many persons from risiting the show in the 

 forenoon, before one o'clock the snu dispelled the watery clouds and 

 shone forth with the heat and brightness usual to July. Visitors then 

 began to amve in large numbers, and during the afternoon the show 

 gi-OTnd was thronged with persons from all the adjacent townships. 



The stock of poultiy exhibited was not large, but included many 

 excellent birds. The Gmiif were in good feather and looked well.
