SIXTH LOUISIANA STATE FAIR.
The Third Day.

The Third Day.
The fair was not so well attended yester-
day as on the day previous, but there was
very respectable number Of visitors, consid-
ering that early in the day the weather was
rather threatening than otherwise. There
were, however, about 5000 persons on the
grounds.

tofore. The Shakespear Foundry, Messrs.
Shakespear, Smith & Co., proprietors, ex-
hibit some fine homemade machinery,
among which is a sugarmill with capacity
of from seven to eight hogsheads in twenty
four hours, and only requiring fifteen
horse power engine to run it. They have
also a small sized mill for four horses, a
centrifugal clarifying machine, and COM
plete saw-mill, with top and bottom saw,

are credit to our city.
