The exhibition Of these horses in the ring caused
a good deal of excitement among the spectators,
many Of whom cheered their fa7orite horse Aud
the Judges found some difficulty in making their
awards SO nearly matched we're some at least if not
all the horses.
Here it was announced that the contest for the
premiums fer he fastest pacing GeldiDg and Mare
under the saddle would take place to day, and the
Fair was then closed until this morning.
l. will be seen that the entries in all the class
yesterday, with a single exception, that OF best
riding horse, mare or gelding, we're very limited
not 50 large as Davidson county alone ought to fur
uish. The entries in other departments also
found extremely light, though the Indictment weath>
er may have have had much to do with this. We
hope cur citizens will yet arouse TO the importance
Of ging these annual gatherings where the
farmers of the State ought to meet and interchange
ideas and notes.
