IsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE sEws.I

INA AGRICULTURAL ana mcCnanlcal society, 10
which citizens OF every part OF the old Palmetto
State have looked forward with so much pleasure,
was opened to the public at 10 O'Clock to-day.
The Grounds
Arc located on the northwestern edge Of the
city and embrace an area Of about twenty acres.
Within a few PAGES, and little to theieft Of the
entrance gate, is the speakers stand. There Is,
within hearing distance, q row or two of seats for
the feminine portion Of the audience that may be
assembled to hear addresses or witness tho dstri-
button OF prizes, while the male portion and O
grent many OF the other sex, perhaps, will have
to stand. a few steps further on is large framed
building, with several wings. erected for the pur-
pose of containing such articles as will not bear
exposure. 1t is quite commodious building and
we'll adapted for its purpose. In the centre Of this
building Is an aquarium, containing about thous-
and fish OF various species. A fountain In the
centre plays constantly and adds much to the
beauty Of the aquarium. To the right OF the en-
trance Ia the race course, with half mile track
for "trials OF sTeed"-thcy don't have races at
fairs. On the cutter edge OF the grounds are the
stalls, pens AMI coops for the stock and poultry
The Crowd.
At an carly lour the grounds commenced to
present an animated appearance. All OF the
streets leading to the grounds we're crowded with
gaily-dresscd people vending their way on
foot, while vehicles OF every description and by
scores came from a. directions, and deposited
their burdens at the gate. BY II O'Clock there
were at least two thousand people assembled
upon the grounds. Many there were who in the
better days OF their loved old State attended these
fairs TO peacefully compete in the products Of
the soil, their skill in stock raising, and their sue
cess in mechanism and arts. Change OF crcum-
stances were now noticed, and many absent faces
recalled; but all seemed determined 10 remember
In silence If not to forget, the things OF the past,
and add each his or her mite to the enjoyment
Of the occasion, which, after nine long, weary
years, had summoned them once more together
to compete as OF yorc. -
There was much 10 interest and instruct, and
as fast as the people gained the grounds they dis
perscd to view the objects on exhibition, and
passed the time pleasantly in inspecting the large
variety OF improved breeds OF stocks, the fine COL
lection OF useful machinery and agricultural i'm.
plements the delightful array OF household and
domestic manufactures, the mineral specimens,
and the immense number OF agricultural produc-
tlons.
