EASTERN DIVISION FAIR.
"A Field Day at the Fair
Grounds.
Examination of Stock and Lively Competl'
tiOn.
The Grand Display Seen by Thousands.
FOURTH DAY.

With each successive year the interest III
| the exhibitions of the industrial
an d mechanical resources of East Tennes-
see has increased in O marked degree, while
the improvement has been equally notice
ably.
The entries have likewise increased In
proportionate ratio and the steady advance
| in appreciation is one most gratifying to
every one who desires the material pros
perity of our section. Our recuperative
powers in this respect would be clearly
demonstrated by the fairs held, if nothing
else, and they are recognized as sure indi-
cation of the energy and wealth of the sec
ton wherein they are held.
The attendance on yesterday was far in
excess of any previous day, thousands of
persons being present on the grounds,
while the building was crowded.
The various committees having careful
ly examined the entries in their several
departments affixed the blue ribbon, when
the owners of the same reported the fact
and their names to the Secretary and the
fairness of their decision, merit being the
test in all cases, was gratifying fact. The
fortunate were pleased, of course, while
those who were unsuccessful determined
to try again. The ribbon system worked
admirably and facilitates the labors of the
Secretaries greatly.

The interest of a large number centered
| in the
| STOCK DEPARTMENT,
where the various animals were passed
OH and the distinguishing badge affixed
The labor was arduous and trying to the
committees, but the list being so large the
examination of some of the departments
was not completed and the time was ex-
| tended until this morning. For the same
reason it is impossible for us to give full
list. We publish the following, however
