THIRD DAY.
The interest taken by the people Of Charles
ton, and the strangers among us, in the great In
stitute Fair Is steadily increasing, as was showr
by the crowds OF visitors tfrongtng the grand
hall at noon yesterday. The heat Of tho sun wa'
srea ater Ii anything than on the preceding day
aud the refreshing coolness OF werner's beautiful
fou ntain, the music OF the band, and the :largt
and airy apartment all combin+d to render thu
great hall OF the fair one OF the pleasantest and
mot attractive places IN wbich TO pass portion
Of the day. These attractions were all fully ap
preciated, and throughout the day large numbers
Of visitors were busy among the tables. ~
Having visited the fair each day with the es
pecial object Of seeing what was to be seen 1t was
natural to think that, In the two days OF nspec
tlon, we had seen everything, but the fallacy Of
hui man reason was never more fully e1empufed,
and in few moments We were a5 busy among
the tables as the most perfect strangers to the
show. The machinery, all in motion and work
| ing away, first attracted our attention, and the
| Griswold cotton gin; before noticed, (Which
| had just been started to work, kept us employed
| very beautiful and rapid in Its operations, and
kept showering the snowy Int In clouds into an
enclosure prepared for It's reception.
Shaw's cotton seed huller, exhibited by Brodie
Co., the agents for this city, was also in opera.
tIon, and did its work In rapid and complete
manner The rough seed was placed in the feed
er, and, disappearing from view, came out below,
clear Of the hull and divided into two heaps one
the whole seed, and the olher partially crushed
all ready to be made Into oil or cakes for cattle
food. Near by is fine corn ull on exhibition by
the same 1rm. This mill combines the various
advantages OF simplicity In construction, strength
and durability, and never grows dull. as by re-
versing the motion Of the mill it grinds just as
well and actually sharpens itself. The grinding
is regulated by the turning o. screw and pro.
duces at pleasure homtny, grSts, COW feed, or fine
family meal.
The grain drill on exhibition by ]. E. Adger &
Co., and made by Beckrord & Human, is one
OF the most complete implments OF the kind. This
drill is certain In its distribution and accurate in
Its measurement Of the seed, and gives the far.
mer, without additional weight, the advantage Of
two drills In one. Near this Is fine "hand-
power" for running cotton gin, and when ap-
piled to the Brown gin next it, enables the latter
to gin o bale and half OF cotton day. Both OF
these articles are exhibited By Messrs.J E. Adger
Co., who have likewise made late additions to
their already large stock OF ploughs and other
implements Of agriculture.
On the left side OF the building near the wall, q
handsome HoUe's stand and scales invited us to
be weighed, and promised card with name and
number Of pounds marked upon it for Us to take
away. ..........- $1,000. =; -.
Crossing on. we came to the splenlidIy farnish-
ed table OF Messrs. Furchgott, Benedict & Co.
The specimens on exhibition By these gentlemen
are tasteful and choice, and their shsws are per-
feet beauties in their way. One, worth $500, is
handworked, and Is gorgeous In its colorlng.. The
ether, "from China Direct is of dark color,
worked with gold and silk around the border.
Their rpecimens Of poplina, stockings and robes
are well worth an examination, and particularly
the pair OF imported blankets. the largest ever
seen in Charleston. ..s....,--., -, ~. ii:

stands upon Its merits, and gives every one

/ While near here we also observed that finished
and beautiful specimen Of penmanship executed
by Mr.. +. D. Fanning. This consists Of roll o
the Carolina Light Infantry, with palmetto Dag
and other appropriate surroundings. 1t is done
| entirely with No. 303 pen, and is u monument o
skill and patient penmanship.
| THE PLoUGHs.
Walking but into the field we came to tht
ploughlng, which was going on all day with
much rivalry among the competing rloughs
The "Monitor''plough, exhibited by G. Kerrlson
Jr., Is the general fayorite among the one
horse ploughs, having three useful and inganlou!
4 attachments, which render 1t most perfec
plough for general use. This plough took the
/ premium at the Augusta Fair ever the numerous
4 single.horse pioughs competing with It, and car
be bought at very low figure,
! Tie Louisville Agricultural Works are likewise
| represented by the same arm, and furnish severa
arst.c:ass steel and cast ploughs for the exhioi
ton. On the ground the several representatives
i and agents for. .ploughs were busily at work, max
1 ing quite display with their :teasns and impe
! ments. One OF the most conspicuous among th'
! successful manufacturers present was Mr.. Brin

plough and Corins's excelsior plough were great

At 2:3o P. n. the rolling Of the drum announced
the races, and eager crowds hurried towards th'
grand stand around which thn was much large
