THE STATE FAIR.
FOURTH DAY.

it was an extraordinary occasion, thronged
as they were with people who had arrived
on the trains during the night, and from
that hour TO 8 o'clock. trains from every
direction were arriving hourly, discharging
immense loads of living freight. They
came from North, South, East and West, of
all colors, ages, sizes, sexes, nationalities
and conditions.
At the gate the crowd was terrific, and to
get a ticket required courage, patience and
muscle,
The grounds were literally alive-'ja M
med" don't express it. Every available
space was occupied; rustic seats were con-
structed of boards, logs, or whatever arti-
Gle could be procured. The ladies were
present by the thousand. All day the
crowd surged and jostled through the
hall, aud at s o'clock there were at least two
thousand people on the ground, and the
long line filing over the hill at the Capitol
seemed to be swelling every moment.
The great State Of Mississippi was on ex-
hibition, irer people, her products, manu-
features, importatons, all, and we may say
with all candor that in each, she will COM
pare iavorbly with any State of the Union.
Everybody seemed to think that every body
| else would come late so they came early and
by S O'Clock, all seeming bent on some par
ticular object. .aQ5
The pupils Of the Mississippi College
and Central Female Institute of
Clinton, the Whitworth College of Brook
haven and Crystal Springs Institute besides
school children of our own city were pre-
sent, whose joyous faces and festive sports
was perhaps the gayest sight upon the
ground, lending apleasant charm TO all the
surroundings.
