Increased Attractions and Grand Time.
t- THIRD DAY.
| The attendance yesterday was a. large
as the most ,;tnguine friends Of the
| Eastern Division Fair could expect. Good
Judge, estimate the crowd on the ground.
yesterday at five thousand. We have no
idea that the number falls short Of this
The attendance to-day, it is thought will be
much larger. All the hotels and private board
ing houses are well filed and tits impossible to
| find avacant room at any of them. There has
not been many visitors in our city at any one
time since the war Hotel keepers and hackmen
are greatly benefited by the fair.
= NEW ARTICLES BROUGHT IN
| On looking around, we discovered that large
number of small articles had been entered since
| the day previous, many of utility and others in
| tended for mere ornaments
| Among the useful we noticed several new
| specimens Of sorghum syrup also specimens of
| coth., ribbons, silks and satins renovated and
| dyed by W. ID. Robertson.
| Prof Scott of the Commercial College
hibited several beautiful specimens of Spencer
4 ian Penmanshp which were universally adj
mired
| Considerable additions had also been made to
1.-The display of vegetables, field seeds, jellies
tKe=, fruits, preserves, &c. and, in fact, nesrly
every department had been added to, so that it
would be almost impossible to itemize every
| ticle which would, besides, consume too much
space, and many would have to be repeated in
| the award of premiums which renders it un-
necessary.. now.
| We saw an antiquated looking violin, bearing
a label setting forth its venerable age, which had
been brought from Jamaica to Charleston, S. c..
more than half a century ago, by descendant
| of All old Huguenot family, named Mot, which
instrument, it was presumed, was of French
manufacture, and brought from that country
| many years ago, during the persecution of the
/ Huguenots.
