THE DEPARTMENTS. 
The exhibition as a whole is fully equal to that of former years, and in 
some respects superior. 
The display of horses on the track Tuesday afternoon was a magnificent 
one, though only a portion of the fine animals on the ground were brought 
out, and as they passed over the track with proudly arching necks and stately 
steppings, or flew like the wind, the grand descrption in the book of Job of 
this one of the most noble of the animals over whom God has given 
dominion to man, was recalled: “Hast thou given the horse strength, 
hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? The glory of his nostrils is ter¬ 
rible ; he paweth in the valley and rejoieeth in his strength; he mocketh at 
fear and is not affrighted; he swalloweth the ground with fierceness and 
rage ; he saith among the trumpets ha ha! and he sraellelth the battle afar 
Qff» # * There are 200 entries of horses; 6 thoroughbreds; 6 
running; 6 sweepstakes; *1 trotting stallions; 6 trotting mares; 3 matched 
trotting teams; 21 roadsters; 16 draft; 43 matched horses and mares; 46 for 
general purposes; 26 single geldings and mares. ^ Among these horses are 
some of the best thoroughbred and fastest “goers” in the state; long¬ 
bodied, smooth-limbed, thin-necked, far-striding coursers, and whom admir¬ 
ing grooms assiduously care for; scallions with tremendous necks and pow¬ 
erful legs and shoulders ; drafthorses of great strength and well rounded 
forms ; horses famous on the turf and younger animals who give promise of 
becoming equally illustrious; yearling and two year old colts, and handsome 
mares with pretty sucking' colts, besides some scrub stock that serves as a 
foil to set off the superior beasts. ****** 
The show of blooded cattle has seldom been equaled, though made up 
largely by the splended herd of Durhams 'shown by Mr. E. P. Brockway of 
Ripon, and the herd of 21 beautiful Devons, shown by Luther Rawson of 
Oak Creek. Mr. Brockway has the most symmetrical Durham Bull, “Lord 
Lieutenant,” that we ever saw, and very fine cows and calves wdth pedigrees 
as well established as any of the “ F. F.Vs’.” Mr. Rawson’s Devons it would 
be hard to excel anywhere. W. Rhodes of Salem, also has some fine Devons. 
Waukesha county fills eight stalls with good Durhams. « * * 
The sheep pens are all full and contain fine representatives of the differ¬ 
ent breeds. Merino, Cotswolds, Leicesters and Sou+hdowns. The principal 
exhibitors that we noticed were H. H. Dixon of Ripon ; Robert Henry, 
McFarland : J. Goodman, West Middleton ; L. Rawson, Oak Creek ; G. H. 
Daubner, Brookfield; I. N. Chamberlin, Beloit; and Robert Ogelvie, of this 
city, who had eighty-nine long-wooled sheep, including a Cotswold buck, 
twenty-seven months old, weighing 330 pounds, which sheared twenty-five 
pounds of wool this spring and has five inches of wool on now. 
The show of swine is rather meager. The principal exhibitors were J. N. 
Chamberlain, of Beloit, who had some very handsome Berkshires ; D. McNeil
