The Frederick County Fair.
Frederick. October 16.
Seldom before was this city so full of strangers as last night and to-day. The hotels and private boarding houses were filled to their utmost capacity and how all the visitors obtained quarters is a mystery. The country people in vehicles of every description came to the fair in continuous streams and were corralled in the fair grounds their horses and wagons occupying not less than six acres of land.
