The most venerable article on exhibition
was Bible in Old English text, printed in
the year 1910. Quite venerable relic.
The chronological collection of A Ebert
was very attractiyely arranged, and as we
viewed the impaled insects the regret was
uppermOst in our mind that he had not
included the patriarch of the genus mos
quito.
A G Bruce had on exhibition several al
chitectural designs of buildings, among
which we noticed that for the court house
at MorristOwn, proposals for the erection
of which are now being advertised in the

PRIZE DRAWING.
The sale of prize tickets goes bravely OH
and agents find no difficulty in selling
them. We see no reason why every ticket
should not be sold, and those who have not
yet purchased should delay no longer, but
do so at once. The drawing will be con-
Quoted in fair and impartial manner and
every ticket holder stands an equal chance
of winning.
Several agents in this city who are con-
fined to their places of business have sold
from fifty to one hundred and fifty tickets
without any trouble, and if the matter is
only brought properly to the attention of
the people, there will be none left to can
eel on Saturday. r.-..
The officers of the Society are assiduous
in the discharge of their duties and expe
dite business in their several departments
as much as possible.
Judge Temple is working all the time
and is team in himself Mr. Charlton and
his corps Ofassistants it is needless to speak
of, for their industry.is patent to every OBJ
server.
Col Terry has been engaged in running
the engine and kept the fountain running,
greatly to the delight of Mr.. Guntert, who
has charge Ofthat part of the fair. The wa
ter is carried in pipes from the spring just
outside the enclosure to the building, and
furnishes an unfailing supply.
Col A S Mariner, chief marshal, is the
right man in the right place and is ably
seconded by Lieut. VIM Dunn, Messrs b J
Stephenson, Walker, Attox and others
equally efficient. The best of order is PIE
served and everything is passing off quiet
ly and satisfactorily.
The places of amusement on the grounds
are sufficiently numerous to entertain
those who do not wish to spend their time
otherwise, among which are two swings,
two ball boards, shooting gallery, candy
mandatory &C., when at intervals the
crowd is entertained with narratives Of
ocean adventures, such as Marryatt's Wild
est imagination never conceived, by the
vender of a wonderful medical remedy
said to cure all the ills to which human
flesh is heir.
Scherfs dining hall was well patrOnzed!
and after three o'clock his supply of Oys-
tiers was exhausted. However, he will
have more to-day enough for everybody,
so none need be disappointed if they relish
the bivalves in their favorite styles.
Those who have not visited the grounds
during the present exhibition should come
out to-day and witness the grandest display
of blooded animals ever exhibited in East
Tennessee. We would especially bring
this fact to the notice of those who wish to
improve their stock, for they will see much
to admire, and have an opportunity of pur-
chasing, for portion will be sold.
Tomorrow morning the tournament
will take place and all who take pleasure
i'll spectacular exhibitions will not fail to
be present. The Knights of Pythias have
the matter in hand and will form sixty
strong, dressed in magnificent uniform,
well mounted, and preceded by band of
music in handsomely decorated car, ac-
conpanied by the battalion of cadets I'M
der arms, march to the fair grounds. where
the fitting will take place, which with the
races and other attractions will be suffi-
GENTLY interesting to entertain the most
varied taste and cannot fail to draw all un-
precedentedly large crowd.
