HONEY ENTRAcToRs.

mlrable apparatus Tor making cheap lllu-
minating gas, down to a patent wheel for
spinning wool and cotton, not one interest

Inns honey extractor. Honey is an article
of general utility; and its very cheap pro-
duction, which is practicable, win benefit |
the million. As molasses and sirup are |
drawn from sugar by centrifugal motions, !
so honey is removed from any comb, which |
is returned to the hive ready to be filled |
again by the honey-gatherers. 4
The process of extracting honey is as sim
pie as turning a grindstone, and the practi-
cal result viii nearly or quite double the
amount of honey one can save Ia year.
A bee lives only three months, and great
deal of time and honey is consumed in
building comb in the natural way. But
sc.ence and human invention enable cid
comb to store up honey for many genera
tions of bees, with larger and stronger. col
onies than in the old way. Bee pastures
can easily be improved and Indefinitely ex-
tended, so that every farmer may have
honey to sell by the quantity. stl T..
THE CATTLE DISPLAY.
The cattle display in the ring yesterday
was about the finest we have ever seen ex-
hibited here-and all interested in fine stock
were gratifed at the show. Among the
many handsome specimens of the bovine
family, we have a word to say about Gen.
Lee, yearling calf of rich dark red col
or, weighing 1900 pounds, the property of
E. T. Noel, of this county. This calf is
by Phantom, he by second Duke Athol
(imported) out of Lady Garnet, she by the I
Duke of Adria, property of q. w. g.
Payne of this county. Thus we see the
valued Duchess blood in both dam and
sire. Besides taking the premium here,
this fine animal carried off the blue ribbon
at Gallatin, contending against Kentucky's
best, and at Columbia was victorious botlI
in his class and in the sweepstakes over
eleven of his species. Well may it be said,
his brow is bound with victorious wreaths.
No calf ever before won such laurels in
THE TBoTTING. -tt -ss e..-
The trotting contests commenced about
two O'Clock, and as on the day previous
proved to be the attractive feature of the
day. 1851 ............ -ifs1-sEf b
The first race was for horses that have never
trotted better than 80 prior to Aug Is, 1872 for
a premium of S6O0-S350 TO first horse, $3.50 to

three in five. In this contest there were five en-
L

"A protest was entered against John Cham
bers, owing to some alleged irregularities on
some other turf, and the judges announced that
he would start under protest, the decision 20 be
rendered by the Court Of Appeals at the next
Turf Congress. 80. ----.-.'.-..

horse led off at the start, closely followed by
Little Mack, Bay Woodford third, Snow fedrth
and LagOneer last. There particular
change in position until the half mile was reach

| order they continued TO the stand, Chambers
winning the heR with ease. Time, 2394.

Little Mack second, Bagoneer third, Snow fourth
| and Woodford last. In this order they made the
entire circuit, Chambers winning the heat by SIX
| lengths. Time 237K. ...-
THIRD HEAT.-Chambers took the lead at the

SECOND RACE.
| This was a race for all three years old, mile
heats to harness, best in 3, Sl25 to first $50 to
second and S25 to third horse, with Blossom,
| WOodpecker, Golddust, Edinburg. Lizzie Clay
| and Tissie Killebrew as the starters.
FIRST HEAT-Lizzie Clay moved off squarely,
| and was not over twenty PAGES from the sulng
before taking the lead, WO0dpecker second, Bios
| som third, Ednburg fourth and Killebrew in the
rear. AT the quarter Lizzie still led, with Bios
som second, and the other positions as above re-
| Corded AT the half mile there was no change.
| Reaching the three quarter pole Woodpecker had
passed Blossom, and was contending for the heat
but Lizzie pressed Forward, ana came OUT urSI.
Time, 2:49X, Killebrew being distanced.
| When the horses were about ready TO start on
| the second heat an accident occurred which came
| near bringing the race to close. As MIR. doom,
the driver of Blossom, was about to turn, one or
| the wheels of his sulhy broke, and Blossom
| started off at run. Mr.. 0dom was thrown out
| and dragged for some distance, having his ankle
sprained, and receiving bruise in the Side. His
| injuries, however, We are glad. to say, were
| not serious. His mare, Blossom, with broken
| sulky at her heels, continued running, darting
| across the ring, and running into the sulky at
| tached to Woodpecker's Goldsmith, upsetting
the same, and throwing the driver to the ground.
| Continuing across the ring, Blossom jumped the
fence, and ran across the Held to her stable. Inc
| sulky was shattered TO pieces, and Blossom was
so badly skinned that she was unable to go
in the next heat AS soon as the sulky of Gold
| dust was struck, that animal made circuit OF
the ring several tunes ana toen Sof ihs
| and then took to the field and made for his sta
BILE, arriving there safe and sound, and not be-
ing injured in the least. Lizzie Clay in the
| meantime, in order TO keep out of harms way,
started out on the track, and was driven the
full mile, and Edinburg with her driver also
proceeded around the track as far as the stables,
and cut through the field and came TO the stand
| Blossom being injured and Killebrew distanced,
there were only three to come TO the scratch.
! SECOND HRAT.-Golddust led from the start,
| and won the heat with ease. Time 2:50X.
| THIRD HRAT-woodpecke again took posi-
ton in advance, and came to the score with ease
| ahead of her competitors. Time 2;49%.
