Nr. Editor Il Vas our fortune 30 beat Tour
nameni in Slabtown, near Thalian academy, on
the Goth December, 1858; and thinking that per-
haps your readers would like to know what we
saw, we have concluded to write you a. brief
sketch of it.
We arrived on the ground at an early hour and
found thai the crowd had already begun to assem-
BILE, andlOpg ere the Knights made their appear
anoe large concourse had assembled, and we
could see gaiety and expectation depicted on beau
I'll tifpl Il az -apyd happy faces .sC s-,..@s
AT the appointed hour, the Judges, Messrs. T.
III. Russell, ,oB. r. Glenn and VIM. Ford, took their
stand, and eleven knights made their appearance
on prancing stccds, some gayly costuued, and all
seemed determined to make the spectators enjoy
the riding.
The Knights rode in. the following order: ].
W. McCann, knight of the Highway, or Sixteen
String Jack; W. A. Neal, Knight of t1le Chase !;
G. VI. Russell, the Red Rover; Thss. Glenn,
Knight of Timberhill; w. A. Williams, Champion
lsef the t'Lost Cause; Tlros. Smith, Knight of the
Grand Cross; n. A Richardson, Knight of Tha-
lian ]. C. c. Newton the Southern Freeman !;
W. II. Boggs, lyanhoe; j. NJ. Glenn, Knight of
Shutdown; john Knight Pickens Rovrdy. After
each Knigh. had ridden twice, (the Glown) j.. IL.
Martin, Knight of the. Chicken .Roost made his
appearanccon mule, causing big;ones to laugh,
and little ones to laugh, and all sizes, sexes and
ages were laughing, proving the old adage-
"a little nonsense now and thcu,
p Ia re1iebed hv tha yvsest ma
| Each Knight was entitled to four rides, and
when they had finished, tue Judges decided that
the Knight of Timberhill, Knight of Thalian and
Knight of Slabtown, had lied on the first honor :;
and on riding through again, the Knight of Tim
bcrhIl and Knight of Shutdown tied again, and on
the next ride the Knight of Timbcrhi was victo-
rious. and in happy style crowned Miss Carrie
EMcCanh, who, with her usual modcsty and grace,
Responded with an appropriate acknowledgment,
proving that she was worthy of the first honor OF
the dsy. The, Knight of Shutdown crowned Miss
Anna McCann. first Maid of Honor. the Knight of
Thalian crowned Miss Amanda Smith second Maid
of Honor. and the Pickcns Rowdy crowned Miss
Letlie Lay third Maid of Honor, and each token
Of favor was happily received, whereuEon tho ex-
ercscs of the day closed.
In the evening we adjourned TO Mr.. &. w. Rus
sells, where We amused ourselves with the plays
peculiar to youth, and pleasant .cte-a-.ctes till q
late hour. With many thanks to- and warm wish
es in our heart for our kind host and '.ostess,
went to our homes, amply compensated for our
visit to the hospiable and far-famcd settlement OF
