EASTERN DIVISION FAIR.
Preparing for the October Exhibi-
tiUn.
Improvement TO the Grounds and
nuillings.

Yesterday morning we cnjored a
most agreeable trip to the Fair Grounds
in company with the following named
officers of the Association: O. W. Charl-
ton, Secretary; Col II. b. Ycarwood,
Superintendent; S. 4. Atkin and Col.
Adraln Terry. The weather was most
prupituous, the sun boing obscuyed by
Slight coating Of clouds which made
the atmosphere cool and all the more
delightiul,
! THE FOUNTAIN AND WATER SUPPLY.
Arriving upon the grounds the first
point stopped at was the spring, where
it is intended to place II steam engine
to forco the water necessary for supply
ing the fountain, which was formerly
obtained from tank ON level with
the second floor; the water passing
from the tank through the fountain
and falling into the pool Selow, was re-
turned to the tank by means of hand
pump. Now the tank will have a con-
slant stream Of fresh spring water
thrown into it which, us well as supply
ing the fountain, can be distributed
through the building for drinking and
other purposes. The well Immediately
in front OF the building will also afford
a plentiful supply OF the cooling bever-
age, thus avoiding the necessity OF hay
ing to stand at the spring, as previous
ly, where a large crowd assembled un-
der the burning ray; OF the sun until
each ones turn came Tor draught.
THE STOCK STALLS AND HOO PENS.
The stock stalls and pens Tor hogs,
! sheep, &c. were then looked after, and
ut the suggestion of Col. Yearwood, it
was deemed expedient' to erect forty
Traditional stalls for stock and ten pens
for swine, etc, the pens to be well floor
ed 50 as to prevent, III case OF rain, the
repetition Of the obnoxious sight OF
lust year, thar is "the hog wallowinS in
his m.re." Everything about the stalls
and pens will therefore be neat and
clean.

Tie next question was the objectiona-
ble location of the tilting grounds. They
are now in front of and and parallel
with the stalls, making it very incOnve-
nient to stock men bringing their amin
ais ont and, in fact, somewhat dangerous
to the crowds, composed OF both sexes,
which while the tournament is going on,
are densely packed between the stalls
and the track 1t was therefore deter
mined to remove it and they selected a
beautiful site on the top Of the hill,
about two hundred and fifty yards dis
tant i'll straight line from the north
end Of the building. 1t will be III full
view Of AL occupying the bnilding and
near enough TO distinguish every knight
and, inst cad, of the horses running as
formerly trom their view, they will run
at right angle, giving to those Mt this
point as good or il better view than
hose packed and iomucd on each side
