4 secretary's report. 



Wednesday, the second day of the Fair, was mainly devoted to 

 the exhibition of horses. At nine o'clock there was a cavalcade 

 of all the horses on exhibition. Following this came the trial of 

 draught horses and exhibitions of matched horses, family horses, 

 colts and stallions. These filled up the time till one o'clock, the 

 dinner hour. 



Mr. Woodbury again presided at the table, and Rev. Dr. Grant, 

 of Fitchburg, invoked the Di^dne blessing. 



At the close of the dinner, short speeches were made by S. H. 

 Howe, Esq., President of the Worcester Agricultural Society, 

 G-eorge E. Towne, Esq., of Fitchburg, and Professor Clarke. 



An original poem, full of wit and replete with good sense, was 

 read by its author. Rev. E. B. Walker, of Bridge water. 



After the dinner and speeches the interest centred in the track, 

 where trotting for the Society's purses was indulged in. 



The weather during the two days was all that could be desired, 

 and altogether the exhibition was fully as successful as any former 

 one. 



• Notwithstanding the crowds of people present, the best of order 

 prevailed, a fact largely due to the valuable services of Gen. J. W. 

 Kimball, Chief Marshal, and his efficient aids. 



WALTER A. EAMES, Secretary.
