From the Baton Rouge Advocate of Thursday
we extract the following:
Each succeeding day gives renewed interest to
our Industrial Fair. Yesterday the attendance
hibition fully up to the expectation of the visitors
The premiums awarded were for over five, and
under two year old creole stations and mares, and
for two and three year old colts and stockings.
creditable entry was made in each department.
We yesterday took a stroll through the mechan-
ics' department, and were as much astonished as
gratifed at the enormous array of machinery put
in motion by the enterprsing maehinists in attend
ance from different States of the Union. Saw
mills, cotton gins, machinery for the refinery,
ditching machines, sowing and reaping inventions,
knitting machines, potato diggers, plows, hoes,
and every other conceivable implement for agri-
culture and manufacture were strewn around in
such prodigality that it did not require great
stretch of the Imagination to think ones self in
some of the great manufacturing towns OF New
or Old England.
We learn that it is the intention of the directors
to proong the exhibition for two or three days in
order that those who have machinery to show may
have time to get it in operation This is but just,
as of our visitors have gone to great trouble
and expense to prepare their inventions and in
provements for the fair some have Travelled long
distance to get here, and it is due that they get
fair showing.
