sixth GRAND STATE FAIR.
seventh and Last Dnv.

Yesterday was the closing day of the sixth
grand State fair, and it ended in a grand
success The crowded state of our columns
precludes any extended comments this
morning on the fair in Its details.
Hart, Arbour & Co., of Baton Rouge,
make fine show in plOws-as well made
as any in the Union. Messrs. SlOcomb,
Baldwin & Co. are their agents.
The Southern Window Shade Manufactur-
ing Company drew great deal of atten-
ton in the manufacture of their shades. H.
Halter, of Camp street, really made fine
display in stoves, Japan ware, toilet sets,
etc. They received the premium for best
corn bread baked on the ground. They
likewise received the silver medal for best
clothes washer, including washing of
wOOlens. They also baked the biscuits for
the baking powder test.
Phil MeCabe did not sign the petition for
no competition in stoves. He only exhibited
the merits of his American"
Mr.. w. C. Anderson showed Lettelliers
patent automatic stationary steam engine
governors. They gained the admiration of
all interested in engineering.
Messrs. Nelson & Co.'s CeylOn plumbagO
lubricant was used on most of the machin-
cry at the fair and was found far superior
to any out now in use. 1t was very useful
in cooling the cotton gins when oil would
not do it.
The great extinguishiDg contest, between
the Gardner patent, of Louisville, Ken
lucky, Messrs. Bostick & Seymour, agents,
and the Babcock, of Chicago, A. M. Gran
ger, agent, came off yesterday at ten min
utes past three. There were two buildings
constructed of even size, ten feet square.
Three empty tar barrels were broken up
and equally divided between the parties.
OF the tar barrels a pile was made III the
centre of each building. and then thoroughly
saturated with coal oil. The fires were left
to burn minute each before they were al
lowed to play their machines upon them.
The Gardner has two cylinders instead of
one, as the BabcOck, for generating the
carbonic acid gas. The Louisville claims a
power overUhe other machine in that regard,
but when it came 10 the test, and the fire
was once under way, it took the Gardner
two minutes and thirty seconds to entirely
extinguish it. The Babcock put out the
same fire in less than one minute, and then
relighted it, and put it out the second time
in fOrty-fve seconds. Every one applauded
the working of the last named machines.
There were two machines of each used, but
the Gardner exhausted two. while the Bah
cock did not quite exhaust one on both
fires.
The dancing was commenced Immediately
after the tournament in the ring, and was
continued until late in the evening.

THE RACE.

At four o'clock. Messrs. Foley and Shrop-
shire rang the bell for contestants to hitch
up. The programme read: "TrOtting free
to all; nj ile heats. Premium, $500; first
horse $3.50, second horse $50, third horse to
save his entrance" Only two nags came
up, Robert johnson entering b. N. Lolita,
and T. p Roach 5. e John Morrissey. The
latter was the popular animal.
On the send-Otf they started even, but on
the first quarter John was so ungallant as
to part company with Lolita, who was in a
huff, breaking badly. Passing the half
mile pole Lolita stepped up little, but not
enough to trighten John. 1t was stated
that Lolita broke in consequence of casting
shoe Getting home on the first mile,
Morrisey won the heat by something more
than a length. Time-2:45l2.
Second Heut-MOrrssey went to the front
before reaching the first quarter-miIe pole,
for Lolita again broke. Between that point
and the half mile, Lolita brushed up some
what, bat broke upon reaching the other
beast. Soon after leaving the half, Lolita
gathered up once more, only to repeat her
trick at ree-quarter, where she dropped
behind sudd emily. A considerable gap was
maintained between them up 10 the string,
and John took the heat in 2:3712.
Third Heat-Lotta gained the lead after
leaving the stand; ahead at the first quar-
ter At the half she was showing her heels
to Morrissey full FIVE lengths in advance,
when she began to 20 slow, or else her OPP
ponent gained. Gong round the last turn,
John began to think it was time to shake
the mare, and he did it before reaching the
string, he getting under it in the smart
| time of 2:28.
Time in this heat is the best ever made in
Louisiana to harness, and about the best
ever made by this old racer.
The above was the only race for the day.
