SECOND DAY.


The weather yesterday was even more
favorable than the day previous, ana as
soon as the gates were opened perfect
train of wagons began pouring IN laden
with articles for exhibition, and stock by
the hundreds, a fact most gratifying to
every one connected with the Society and
the exhibitors themselves for seeing, the
excellence,of the competing articles, who
ever is successful will experience pardon
able pride in excelling, where all were
meritorious and only one could win.
The entries up to this time more than
double those of previous years, while
steady improvement is visible in the quail
ity of articles exhibited. The wisdom of
the policy of the present management i'll
offering liberal cash premiums, especially
in the stock department, is apparent in
the presence of the fine blooded and grade
animals, whose numbers far exceed that of
any previous exhibition in East Tennes-
see. Small premiums are no inducements
to breeders of fine stock, especially at dis
tance, to bring their animals, as has been
er of this class of animals is doing the COM
munity a service by bringing them before
the public.
Last night twenty men were at works
building additional stables and pens for
stock, which have already been entered
and stock breeders from Virginia and Ken
lucky were expected to arrive last night
and swell the list still further.
