The list of articles on exhibition was
very fine and one that the citizens of Brad
ley county might well he proud of, both as
TO quality and variety. The firm of Gaines,
Bro, d Co., had specimens of their work
in the several styles of shoes for ladies and
gentlemen.
DIR. j. l.. Clark, OF the Culhorvee Nur-
series, Waynesville, y. c., exhibited thirty
varieties of fruit, and we are glad to know
he will be in Knoxville next week.
The floral department was beautifully
arranged by Mrs. Hardwicke. Mrs. Nc
Nelly and Mrs. Blount, and comprised
many rare varieties. The display of pic
lures and works of art was also very taste
ful, and in this department many premi-
ums were awarded for native talent.
THE TOURNAMENT
took place at ten o'clock, but, although the
Knights were Jealous, only few rings were
taken. The following gentlemen contest
ed for the premium, magnificent silver
cup:
The Knight of Ooltawah, E. L. Clin-
gan.
The Knight of the Wounded Heart, G.
w. Clingan.
The Knight of La Moncha, II. S. Os-
ment.
The Knight of Watkins Valley, f. A.
Cowan.

Whitman.
The Knight of Red Cloud, A. C. Min
ton.
The Knight of Lookout Mountain, w.
X. Morrison.
The Knight of Charleston, William
Hayes.
The Knight of Missionary Ridge, L. B.
Miller.
The last named and the Knight of Wal
kin's Valley each took two rings, and the
Knight of the Wounded Heart one ring
the others none. Those throwing two each
ran again, when l.. b. Miller, of Chat
tanooga was victorious. The farce of
crowning Queen was not gone through
with, neither was there any coronation
ball, the young people having enjoyed
dance the night previous at the Ocoee
House.
THE RACES.
There were several races during the day,
the more important of which | have al
ready sent by telegraph. The first was a
trotting match in harness for the Associa-

two entries the second trotting race un-
der the saddle, with the same number of
entries for similar premium then a pa
cling contest with two entries, "Wager
Wilder" by w. o. Jones; time, 3:l3l.

was won by the former. w. p. Wilson en-
tered a sorrel for single footing, which had
no opposition and went around the track
in 3:203.
The misfortune that happened to Ane-
roid threatened to do away with the
race of two miles and repeat for the Socie
ty premium of 500, but the race was run
late in the day, with two entries, the re-
suit of which you already know.
