The exhibition Of these horses in the ring caused
good deal of excitement among the spectators,
many Of whom cheered their favorite horse And
the Judges found some difficulty in making their
awards, so nearly matched we're some at least if net
all the horses.
Here it was announced that the contest for the
premiums for the fastest pacing GediDg and Mare
under the saddle would tokC place to day, and the
Fair was then closed until this morning.
1t will be seen that the entries in all the CLASSES
yesterday, with single exception, that of best
riding horse, mare or geldng, were very limited
not 50 large as Davidson county alone ought fur
nish. The entries in other departments we also
found extremely light, though the Indictment weath>
or may have have had much to do with this We
hope our citizens will yet arouse to the importance
Of encouraging these annual gatherings where the
farmers of the State ought to meet and interchange
ideas and notes. ~. -
