Owing to the unfavOrable aspecto the weather.
the attendance the Fair on yesterday, was sinai.
The exhibition consisted of Farm Products, Fsui
Honey and fifteen entries in the misc naneous clas.
The display, though limited embraced many valu
Die specimens of the products of the State.
Mr.. J. W. Dodge, of Cumberland county, exb:-
bited nine varieties of apples from his nursery
the Cumberland Mountains, that were exceedingly
fine and DO Mr.. Dodge especial honor as success
fol pomologist. Il has become settled opinion
amongst the people of Tennessee that this climate
unfavorabe for producing the finer grades OF fruit
and that We shall ever be compelled to dep nd
upon the North for our apples Those who Doti-
ced the specimens of apples exhibited by Mr.. Dodge
and by those ]. C. Walker of Davidson county on
yesterday, are prepared to believe that climate
ls as favorable to fruit grain and that it only re-
quires the proper manner Of treating them to make
good varieties and prolific yields.
The samples of wheat exhibited by Col T. B.
johnson and Mr. J. c. Owen, were the best speci-
mems of this grain we have during the season,
and are credit 10 the intelligence of the gentle
men who raised it. The variety exhibited by COL
Johnson that took the Premium is known as the
Pennsylvania B'1e Stem White Wheat.
Mr. Giles OF Davidson county, exhibited
lot of the largest white yams we have ever seen.
We accord him a special notice and honorable men
ton, by selecting his from the many good specimens
shown, especially deserving a notice by the Re-
porter-Mr. Jones, also exhibited lot of Celery
that also worthy of notice.
Decidedly the most interesting feature of the
Second Day, the exhibition of Gen. w. G. Har-
ding's Blood Horses, consisting of twenty four en-
tries, embracing the flower of his stud of thorough
bred animals. This display pronounced by
gentlemen on the ground who well qualified to
judge, as the finest exhibition ever made by sin
gle individual of Blood Horses; and fete, that
perhaps does not lay in the power of another pri-
Vate gentleman to make in the Union
1sU At the head of the cavllcade led off the
celebrated race horse Childe Harolde, whose ex-
PLOTS upon the turf have always been of the most
successful character, and whose reputation
breeding animal is second to none in the country.
End. Next followed Gamma, the inViDcible and
unequaled animal of her day. She has made the
best mile race ever run in the State. Her age Is
% years, but she was followed by beautiful foal
Of one year.
Sd. Glendale, an animal Of fine parts, that has
made her three miles in 5:4S.
4th Corsett, mare of good execution, and the
winner Of the fastest 2 mile made in
Tennessee.
9TH Diamond by Epsilon, she having won the
best five heats in the State, making the
third heat in las.
9Th Little Trick, by imported Priam. This ami
NAL has run all distances, from one to four miles
with decided success.
7th. Miss Peyton, very successful race mare.
9Th. Velocity, an animal Of fine parts, having
accomplished many creditable feats upon the turf.
1t is unnecessary for to specify further the
name aud achievements of the animals shown by
the General, as their good qualities and handsome
appearance can only be appreciated by those who
them, and for this reason, regret that every
person who is fond OF fine horse, could not have
been upon the Fair Grounds on yesterday, and seen
a collection, the like of which is not offered to the
sight of every person in a whole Lifetime.
The awards were made to Gamma and her year
ling colt.
