From the Baton Rouge Advocate Of Tuesday we
extract the following:
This enterprise of Southern progress was fnauga-
rated yesterday under the most favorable circunl-
stances. A bright and soft day, that resembled
Of our citizens and the strangers here to attend the
opening Of the Industrial Fair. And Judging from
the large and interested c0ncourse Of spectators OF
both sexes, this invitation to witness the display
and exhibition Of fine stock was rather eagerly ac-
copied.
The arrangements made for the accommodation
Of visitors merit the highest appreciation. The gal
eries Of the qnadrsngniar garrison buildings were
furnished with seats, which afforded full and close
view OF the amphitheater, where the prizes were
won and awarded. In the center of the arena q
large stand was erected for the different commit
tees on awards, and for the music. This latter
branch OF the days entertainment got the golden
opinion Of everybody present. 1t is not too much
to say that Capt. Menter,s Cincinnati Band is not
surpassed by any similar institution in the country
