The long line of wagons, carriages, buggies and other conveyances that were seen coming in lroni every direction at an early hour this morning gave ample evidence of complete success, for a generous attendance means a generous dis play of exhibits. The officers of the day, heads of departments and all concerned seemed busy. More and better stock in all lines are already entered than at any previous meeting. The fruit and vegetable department is full to over-flowing. Floral Hall will not begin to furnish room for making a proper display of such articles as are shown there.
