the German element enters strongly into
those which compose the population Of
Memphis. The most celebrated restau-

one of the finest photograph galleries,
''Cravcl'S," is Ct that caste. Lager beer
saloons, of course, abound and are whole

For the last two weeks Memphis has
had Il crowd Of visitors, attracted by her
great Fourth Annual Fair, and her grand
Mechanical and Industrial Exposition
The former is principally intended to sub
serve the interests of agriculture; the lat
ter is devoted chiefly 10 ant. Il.e two are
auxiliary in their aims, and one does not
trench on the sphere Ct the other. The
Fair Grounds are located four miles from
the city, on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, on which special traiIls convey
visitors to and from the city.
Unlike the three storied building in
which the Cape Fear Agricultural AssOcia-
ton exhibits its tlinmphs in agricultural,
horticultural and floral art, Memphis has only
a One-slOly building, constructed somewhat
on the plan of a double lC g cabling; al tie

Wilmington Fair. Then there was no

Leaving the Fair We find more to inter

magnificent building Of immense size,
situated on Jefferson, Fourth and CCult
streets. 1t is lighted from the top, and sur
rOGrded by two tiers of galleries. The
pillars supporting the galleries are wIeathed
in eversieens, and the stalls or booths are
festooned with flowers. One of the first
objects that attracts the visitor is foun-
