THE CITY.
THE FAIR.
Magnificent Exhibition OF FLOODED
Stock.
Largely Increased Attendance.
The Attractions at Floral and We.
chanics, Hall.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather
yesterday, the Fair was well attended, and
a greater number of people on the grounds
than any day during the week.
| The display of blooded stock was equal
to anything of the kind ever seen in the
State, and among the aged mares, we
noticed Capitola, Sea Breeze, Rapid Ann,
Mollie Twist, Martha McNairy, Gazelle, and
| other noted animals, renowned in turf his
tory. Among the entries In this class were
four by Gen. w. G. Harding, of this county
two by W. j. Guild, of Summer county; one
| by B. F. Cockrill, of Davidson; one by Van
| Williams, of Edgefeld; one by T. G. Bacon,
of South Carolina; one by Bailie Peyton,
| of Sumner county one by d. s. Maxwell,
of Danville, Ky, and one by W. D. EVERY,
| of Giles.
| Among the aged stations the ring was
| also very attractive, with the celebrated
Muggins and Jack Malone at the head of
the list. Leaving out the old racers of
other days, the offspring claimed no little
| attention, and, down to the sucking, it was
a hard matter to decide as to which should
take off the premium. In the sweepstake
for all ages the judges cast their votes nine
| times, coming out tie on each occasion
| between several Oh IH6 COHJ6SJdQIS.
There was lively interest manifested
from first to last in the exhibition of blooded
| stock by the friends of the entries, and
the premiums were equally distributed be-
tween this and the adjoiningcounties, South
| Carolina stepping in on two occasions with
| some of her finest blood.
