PROVIDENCE Friday Morning, Sept. II, 1855.
Yesterday was the third, aud, the whole, tie
gsndest day of the Fair The display Of horses and
horsemanshp was nearly as good on Wednesday,
and the additional attraction OF banquet in the even
ing where good speeches, good fare, elegant ladies,
and frsrate music united to charm all the and
and TO crafty the highest tastes, atogrt produced
the hsppest ard most satisfactory results. No pablo
occasion of this character carried through in
amore systematic, orderly, and spirited manner than
this and to the presence OF woman and the absence OF
wine may be attributed the marked AID favorable
contrast which this occasion must make on the pages
of history when placed beside the records Of festivals,
where sense and proprey of conduct made 10 give
place to wiLe and coarse vulgsrty We could but
contrast this with the public dinners In Newly ork,
where we have heard the praises of education aud
morality cloqueny ard earnedy oscoursed, and then,
az the brain became infamed, the most obscene ,and
and filthy language hes been poured forth from toe lips
of learned Alumni who were before boosting OF the
Glorious light and high moral influence OF Of
learning All honor say then, to Rhode Island for
setting the noble example of horse ban
quet without wine Thanks TO the Influence OF law
which however despised, however calumniated and
privately tramped upon, has already produced 80 I'M
pOIt6nt an Improvement in public entertainments
TIE CAyALCADE.
At 10 o'clock in the morning a cavalcade similar to
that which formed so gIeSt feature Of ednesdsy,
trsversed the course. There wGs no. 80 large an ut
tendance of spectators as then, but the numbers
increased with Il attractions Toward loon The rays
of the sun were happily obscured by curtain o: gray
which oyenpread the sky, and the ar became cool
and agreeable This a great relief after the
interse heat of the previous days. few drops OF
rain fell but not enough 10 lay the dust, and toward
niehal the sky again became clear and the hope t'r
rain, much needed here, was agail d-sipeed. Inc

by their noble carriage, graceful action and perfect
dccility, attracted universal admiration
MATCHED HORSES
About thirty pairs Of matched horses were then
passed in review before the judges. They consr,ed
of black sorTe chestnut and gray pairs IN admirable
proportion to each other; the pairs having evidently
been selected with good TASTE. They principally BE-
long 10 the farmers and gentry Of Rhode Island, on
whom they reject great credit. II Is evident tnat
there is Just appreciation of the horse in this State
Tie fancy matches, consisting generally OF con-
uasts white with black or chestnut; gray with
a sorrel &C., old not show to 40 good advantage -
the matched as TO color. The difficulty OF getting
agreeable contrast TO suit correct taste In coiors
being very great with the few decided varieties exist
ing among horsts
PONIES

hands high which, although not numerous, excited q
good deal OF interest 10y their lively and sportye per-
iormances. They were principally ridden by young
gentlemen 10 their teens, who, however, manifested
much ufX'frfy ana evident tDtHuhlhsfn, erpcflhlF
racing and competing with each other for speed.
Some Of The pony were under saddle aud others
with buggies. All closely contested
