Eugene Glasscock's first run was ruled
out on account of slow riding.
The saddle was awarded to George Kerr,
and ine riding whip to Glasscock.
The following is Jno. Happy's account of
the ladies' ring:
1.-The ladies entered the ring attended by
their escorts, as follows: First lady, Miss
Blanche Lewis on roam charger, and CO.'S
tuned in a magenta velvet habit and white
plume. Second lady, miss Sallie Crozier,
with black habit and hat and white plume,
mounted upon a white horse. Third lady,
Miss Hulda Warfield,) in a blue habit and
white plume, also on a white horse and the
fourth lady, MRS. Marsball,) in a brown
habit and riding a white horse. The premi-
urn of fine saddle was awarded to Miss Gro
zier and the riding whip to Miss Lewis"
We understand that Mrs. Marshall would
have been formidable contestant for the
premium but for the fact of being married
lady, and thus BY theSules of the ring de-
barred the rivalry. We heard very many
singing "Give me de gal wild de blue dress
on" and being a good singer, we hunsed
the air ourselves.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

From far and wide, cosse many long and

these, is the ill-natured and unfair dispatch

though nominally for the purpose of send

has long been using this tremendous agency
for political purposes. Indirectly, and some
times directly, 1t aims an always seemingly
designed attack upon Johnson's policy of re-
construction. It SENS atterly unable to give
a candid aud truthful statement about the
Southern people. It's statement about our
Tournament and some Of its incidents, Is a
fair indication of the radical spirit that con-
trolls it. To say. as il did, that it was rebel
affair, because the the sssemblage was COM
posed of Southern people, was most absurd
and ungenerous. What other kind of peo-
pie could he have expected to assemble in
Tennessee, or to support the orphans Of our
late Confederate soldiers? In gathering

unnatural or disloyal that one of the Cav

disioyal that the gallant Generals, who had
led the brave fathers Of these orphans, should
be invited and be present at an entertain
