Among q crowd of curious individuals called
hitber by the alIuring attractions Of the Sumner
County Fair, was sYours Respectfully"
large fashionable, and truly brilliant assem-
blsze are now convened in attendance upon the
Fair. The enhanced beauty and brilliancy Of the
occasion are quite enough 70 entice pen, however
dull to all the hazards of anattsmpted description
This loeality-Gallatin--is the county seat. OF
Sumner--the garden spot of Tennessee. Here are
the green meadows the undulating fields, the smil-
ing vaeys and the lofty hills, the green pastures,
the golden corn the lovely lawn and the oversreh-
ing trees Here are the rich fields, the teemiug
loWlauds, the luxuriant heritage and the unsurpass
eG soil Here is the spot to which the lovers of
beauty, elegance, and refinement may resort to find
III perfection all the besuty Of which they have
dreamed
It was to this spot, amid the multiplied beauties
Of nature--the unsurpassed gifts of location, and
the unegusIed beauty of improved agriculture that
s.yours ObsequiOuslyp has wandered.
But now to spin thread of narrative. Arriving
on the grounds, the ampithestre was found crowded
almost to suffocstiOn. A scene lovely to contem-
plate burst upon the view.
Fair forms and fairer faces-lOvely maids and
matrOns-galIant men and sOldiers-Wiih merry
eyes and joyous faces shed unusual brilliancy on
all around.
The amphitheatre crowded with beauty and FASH
iOn--enlivensd by gaety and Eit-e1hiliristed with
mirth and glee and the Vhele heightened By the in
spring strains Of sweetest music, made the scene
one eminently lovely to behold.
Pretermitling all further remarks, however, upon
the beauties of the aud the interest of the
cssion, this pen will on to the local duty of common
detail.
To-day the Fair was crowded with attendants.
Dsep-felt interest was manifested, and lively at
tentiOn was paid to the handsome display of stock
Hogs, sheep, and saddle>horses, with a display
Of one and two year old horse colts the attrso
tions which called out the immense assemblags to-
day.
The display Of horses was pre-eminently beauti-
full and could scarcely be surpassed As stud sitter
stud came bounding gaily into the circle, 50 would
the undivided attention of the multitude hover close
around.
The interest manifested in the exhibition of mans
noblest animal-the horse-was intense. Competi-
ton was actively alive and the keenest sOlieitude
manifested.
general acquiescence with the decisions was
manifested in every case bat one, which is worthy
of remark.
1t was universally remarked that beautiful one
year old coll, belonging to Maj WIZ. BARNEY, and
named after Miss FLoRA WEBB, handsome and
highly accomplished young lsdy of this county,
should have taken the premium instead Of the Ger.
tifcate which it improperly received.
This almost perfect and faultless colt, second in
beauty only to the beautiful young lady after whom
1t was named, was certainly one of the most per-
feet specimens of the horse species to be found per-
haps in the Union.
The display of ssddle-hOrses was splendid. Elk
ciement rose to its highest pitch during the cOmps-
tition of the saddle horses. The premium was
awarded, amid general reclamation, to JAMES LUs.
TER, Of Wilson county.
But space is precious, and can particularize no
further, more than casually to remark that the colt
exhibited by Gen. MILLER, of Sumner, was cOnsid r
ed one of the prettiest animals ever raised in this
comfy.
1t was the occasion Of regret by the friends Of Mr.
10 MILLER, of this county, and by the way quite
young agrculturist too that he has com
peted for no prizes during the present Fair. |
The Examiner is issued daily during the Fair, and |
contains all the items of iterest astir. !
1t is source. Of very general regret here among
the younger people that Gen. TROUsDALE-mAny of /
whom have never seen him-from rheumatic debili-
ty is wholly incapacitsted from mixing with the
sOvereigns.
He is gallant soldier, modest but an honest
man, and the honest masses but wish him an
opportunity To serve no further in the fields of bat
lie or in the councils of the nation.
A large and attractive crowd are here from Nash
vile, among whom it were perhaps not invdious to
mention the names of Gov. HARRIS, Gen. AMBER
SON, Gen. SMITH, Judge HUMPHREYS, Col TORBErT,
Jas. T. BRILL, of the Gazette H K. WALKER, of the
Banner, and Major G. EASTMAN and THOMAS s.
MARR, of the Union and american
Among the ladies present are Miss C-s, of high
street, Miss ADA NE, of Vine street, Miss J-N,
# Summer street, and Miss J-s, Miss Mo-K, and
Hiss C-M, of Nashville and vicinity.
The streets present lively and animated appear
