LEBANON FAIR.

LEBANON FAIR.
The fourth annual Fair at Lebanon
Opened Tuesday under unusually auspi-
cious circumstances and with favorable
prospects for q successful week. The
weather was particularly favorable, being
cool and pleasant, with the sun shining
clear and bright
TIE GROUNDS,
and the perfect condition they were In,
deserve much more attention than we can
here give them. Upon entering the gate
you are greeted with an exceedingly
pleasant and refreshing view. The ex-
tensive tract upon which the grounds are
situated stretches out on all sides, perfectly
level and covered over with rich waving
grass. A neatly whitewsshed psling
fence which encloses the grounds exhib.
its a rich and striking contrast to the
bright green swsrd. Add to this the
bright, cheerful sunshine, the enlivening
strains of music, and the passing to and
fro of hundreds of people, all dressed in
their holiday attire, and the effect ia
pleasing in the extreme.
Enclosed within the grounds are also
two of the finest springs il the State.
The water, in large, limpid stream,
bubbles up from an Questionable depth,
and furnishes a sufficient supply for q
thousand fair grounds. Fish OF excellent
flavor and good size are caught from the
larger of those springs in great abun-
dance. A beautiful grove of oak, ash,
wild cherry, walnut and sugar tree sur
Ia tha -
makes scoOl arbor for the retirement from
the heat and dust on hot summers day.
There is no fair ground in the State bet
ter situated, and where surroundings give
a more pleasing outlook.
THR AMPHITHKATRR
is one hundred and ninety feet in diam
eter, and is in excellent order. The seats
surrounding have the capacity of seating
six thousand persons comfortably. The
Judges stand is an octsgonsl structure
with three stories, two of which are used
by the officers, and the third is occupied
by the Gsllatin Brass Band, whose mag
nifcent performances add life, gayety
and animation to the whole Fair Grounds.
Seldom has it been our fortune to listen
to better trained band.
