meeting was but an experiment,
and one for which II was impossi-
bio, under the circumstances, TO
mako all the needed preparations
but from tho interest already mani.
tested by persons from different aud
distant portions Of the country, he
was pleased TO sec that their success
WAS established beyond u doubt -
Welcoming those present, aud those
TO come, and promising the bes; eN-
crlions Of the Association 10 cXhib-
nors aud visitors. TO make them
comfortable, and TO enable them TO
make tho best possible display, he
Introduced the orator Of the day,
llIon. John IL. Reagan.
| Judge Reagan apologized for
upeaking from written notes, but
he had considered it better in order
to be accurate us TO facts and fig.
uros that his address should be pre-
pared, though he knew il would be
moro agreeable TO tho audience, as
well rs to himself, if the remarks
he had to make woro cXtcmporano.
Gus. lie then proceeded to read
an exceedingly able argument suit
cd TO the occasion, introducing
facts and figures, interviewer with
fights of fancy, and held the crowd
together to the close Of the address,
without any evidences Of weari-
somencss or inattention.

count of the grounds on tho articles
arranged. The preparations arc
not more than half made, aud it
will be Thursday at earliest before
everything will be completed and
ready for satisfactory survey. j
will say, however, that the grounds
arc tastefully decorated, and ample
arrangements made for accommo-
dating ali corners. The display is
already credtable, and when the
preparations have all boon compile
ted, will prove very attractive
One of tho most noticeable features
of the display is tho great variety
of agricultural and labor-saving i'm
plemonts, and the number Of me-
chanical contri7ahcos.
HeusroN, May 23.--Aftor pro-
tracing the Fair two days beyond
what was originally contemplated,
final adjournment was made last
evening, and it is not going beyond
the truth to declare that from be-.
ginning to ending of the exhibition
it was without precedent in the his
tory of like institutions-for the
State Fair is now one of the insti-
.tutions Of the country, and .one Of
which every citizen Of the Statc
may well foel proud. Six days of
intense excitcment-tho whole city
swarming with people from all por-
lions of the Rcpublic-actuated by
the most diverse purposes and en-
tertaining tho most widely diver
gent views-they have yet mingled
together and contcndcd with each
other for such honors as the Asso-
citation had to bcstow, and yet not
one breach of the peaco--not so
inuch. rs an angry word to mar the
happy effects of the suspicious oc-
ca3lon.
TO speak of politics in connection
with an event so entirely free from
all partisan significance is almost
objectionable, but the fair. contrary
to what was devoutly hoped for, has
passed without so much as the ap-
poarance of anger or i'll will on u
single occasion. This pacific dispo-
sion of the people does not perfect
the wishes of the peibald party, who
hoped and prayed for conflict and
contention. Forty thousand peo-
pie and six days competition, yet
not ono occurrence calling for the in
terposition of q peace officer-tell
IL not at Austin, lest the militia bill
fails in the Senatel Publish it not
in the federal city, lest Morgan Ham
iIton loses that reputation for verac-
ity which should be dearer TO aim
than any place at the disposal of the
party he SO exactly representa-
