L’lie Secretary’s department, under
the able management of f. A. Bun.
was cohJu -ted with such perfect
tern that n > jar was heard. Upon the
two officers, Superintendent and Sec
retary, hang everythingabout a pub
> h" fair.
i'he only • umplaint we have heard
i>. that a couple of large farmers
i came from Lu Fayette county and
I swept away large amounts of’premi
, unis on noiles, a- and other stock,
i \ cry wed, it Grant county can’t beat
1 Lu Fayette, then down. Grant, in
humble shame, am! exalted be the
asses of La Faj cite !
We meant to have made mention
in the //< nz/d of each article of stock
’and thing on exhibition, and made a
, good start on the third day to take
I notes ol things. But We found these
diiiiculties in the way: In most ca
ses tne owners of property were‘not
i to be found to give information; no
I description of property accompanied
; the articles, and no herd record or
stock pedigree; we could not even
i get the names of owners, much less
: the name, class and description of
; Stock.
rhe exhibition of stock was large
and complete, perhaps ahead of any
former show.
W e spent a while in the machine
department ami notice as follows:
This department exceeding bare
but articles such as stand first every',
where.
I’he Post Driver, machine and pat.
ent owned by S. F. Nice, Millville,
very simple, merely a frame work,
driving hammer, and trigger for let
ting it fall on post, the whole mount*
ed on a common wagon, is certainly
a success.
Patent Fence—right owned by J.
