Miller, of Wilson county, were the con-
testants. Mr.. Msskett, of Davidson coun-
ty, succeeded in carrying away the prize
of twenty five dollars, although his gun
missed fire on the first round. A. the
eighth round itsppeared that he had killed
two birds to his opponents one.
Second Day.
Wednesday, the second day of the fair,
opened disagreesbly cool. Indeed, over
coats and shawls were in demand, and in
consequence of this inclemeney of the
weather, there was very poor turnout
duri1g the forenoon. TIE disagreeable-
ness of the weather, however, did not
prevent the entry of some of the finest
HOGS
we have ever seen. There were sWO en-
tries of aged bOars-both Berkshires-as
fine as we ever saw, and Mr. @. II. Old.
ham beat his competitor, j. G.. Phlpot,
for the premium, but for boar pig under
six months old, the latter gentleman car
ried the premium over four competitors.
There was only one entry of aged sows,
and that by Mr.. Oldham, and he of course
took the premium, though we must say
he well deserved it. OF SOW pigs there
were four entries. They were also Berk-
shires. ludeed no other breeds were en-
tered. The premium for the best SOW
pig was awarded 10 William Green, and
Mr.. Oldham got the premium for the best
SOW and pigs of which there wss only
one e1iry.
Three fine aged bucks, long wool, were
entered, and the premium was given to
NJ. n. Thomson, President of the Asso.
