Second day, entry books closed at twelve o'clock, noon, except in class three, on trotting. At one P.M. committees were called and instructed, and assigned to their respective duties. These committees were specially instructed to place no premium-cards on articles or stock to which they award premiums, but hand them to the superintendent, who would compare them with the book, and if any mistake had been made to have it corrected at once, when the superintendent placed the premium-card on the article drawing the premium. This rule was found to work well.

The third day of the fair there was trotting and pacing races on the track, and committees making awards.

Fourth, and closing day, committees all made their reports, and in the afternoon trotting and running races, with the grand cavalcade of premium stock on the track, attracted the attention of almost the entire crowd.

Everything passed off pleasantly; the weather was fine, and every one seemed to feel that, all things considered, the fair was all and more than we could have expected, with the tremendous opposition that we had to contend with against the Tri-State Fair. The principal agricultural products of our county are, corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, clover-seed, timothy-seed, and flax-seed. Of the various kinds of grains raised corn is the greater staple crop of this county. It is in yield up to its standard average, 35 bushels shelled corn per acre.

Oats, Quality good, but yield light. Clover-seed crop, average yield. Potato crop very light. In grasses the crop was very good. Wheat was the best in many years, ranging from 15 to 50 bushels per acre.

In fruits, the small varieties were very good throughout the county. The apple crop was an average yield.

With the present board of officers I can confidently say that there will be no such thing as a failure in our fairs to come, provided the people of the county will do their part.
