DAILY TO WAND A REVIEW. VOLUME 111, NO. 44. THE FAIR. LAST DAY. The attendance at the fair yesterday was good, but not so large as Thursday. The judges completed their work, and of course there was some dissatisfaction, but it is impossible to please all and it is nothing strange that among so many meritorious an nimals and articles, judges do not always meet out exact justice. Of the horses not heretofore mentioned, we take pleasure in calling attention to Man son Elsbrce's tine Hambletonian stallion, one of the best steppers on the ground. W. A. Wood's Lord Clyde, whose stock is his best recommend. J. N. liaight's Prince Imperial jr., a fine Pcrcheron stallion. J. W. Willcox's four years old stallion, Young Slasher. R. W.

Manvillc's black mare, awarded first premium for riding horse, niram Taylor, a three years old stallion. J. M. Burlingame, a Clydesdale stallion. Philo Beardslee, a large well built stallion.

Ilerrick, of Asylum, exhibited sev eral pens of Chester White pigs, regular beau ties. M. W. Angle exhibited Lineonshirc sheep, a breed which combine several good qualities, such as large size, line wool and heavy clip. Owing to a fatal disease—the cholera— which has destroyed many large flocks, of chickens, and it being the moulting season, there was a very small display in the poultry department. Nearly all of the exhibits in ibis department came from cast of the river. The principal exhibitors were Mertie Allen, H. W. McCabe, four coops; L. B. Geroukl. one coop; C. S. Davis,'nine coops; P.
