Yesterday was one Of the finest Of the
season, and early every indication was
that the occasion was to be greatly
ahead of any previous day in crowd and
interest. BY o'clock the people had
come in till a fine opening was had.
They continued to arrive during the
forenoon till not less than five thousand
or more were there as interested specta-
tors. We have never seen people more
completely enthused with fair--shOws
ing no disposition to abate, but evincing
increased attention and interest each day.
The best of feeling prevailed, and I'M
bounded hospitality ruled the day. Our
special Acknowledgements are due to the
officers and other friends during our
stay. We were greatly pleased with the
exhibitions in the Floral Hall, and es-
pecially with the evidence of enterprise
and skill of Mr.. Judd, Of Shelbyville,
and Mr.. Bonn, of Murfreesboro, who
have placed on exhibition specimens of
their skill emitting them to high rank
as Photographic artists. Their views of
the fair ground improvements, and OF
the crowd of people on Wednesday, will
make much character for them, and
those pictures will doubtless be highly
appreciated by the citizens:
The greatest special feature Of the en-
terprise will be the pacing race for a
purse of three hundred dollars. Seven
entries now in, and the race will be best
two in three, mile heats, to come off to,
day (Friday) or Saturday.
The extra train going up carly suits
the fair>goers, and they are all heaping
praises on Mr.. Cox, the courteous and
obliging conductor, who merits them
we'll.
Below we give the list of awards.
