FAIR PERSONALS.

Ed. STOCKTON, Esq, was just as &C.
NAL as years lang syne.
NONE of the r~estaurateurs at the FAN
have invited the fat girl to dinner.
r. S. STEGER, ESQ, of Moscow, is ac-
lively interested in the success of the
Fair.
BY all odds the greatess marvel at the
Fair is the beautiful operating glass
steam engine.
MAJOR HAYES and Captain Cole,
Colonel Edmondson says, are even.
Cole was hazed.
SOME of the ladies at the fair desire
us to thank Chris. Steinkuhl for the
kind loan Of his "WestmOreland."
THE main saloon is marked aIrwin,1
and from samples furnished the "Bu-
reau' we a safely recommend it to the
public.
MI. r. MASON, commonly known as
Major Dick, has the thanks Of our Man
ager for his great kindness in fitting the
"Bureau."
Mrs. JOHN OvERTON, SR., Mrs. A. w.
Southworth, Mrs. Watkins, Miss Sallie
Mcclellan, all of Nashville, were much
pleased with Fair.
BARNEY HUGHES enjoyed every
thing, and everyone who came in con-
tact with him was well pleased. His
compromise with Miles On was
cool.
THE SCHOLARS of the cOlored school
under the charge of Mr.. Bonham were
present. Their department was marked
and commented upon; it was unexcep-
tionable.
T. H. Cooke, Esq, and many others,
will take chances in the great "pigeOn
shOot' to-day. The sport begins at ten
o'clock. Some of the best shots in the
country will be present.
THE Bohemian Glassblower is a won
der. His skill is marvellous. The ladies
were charmed by his marvellous exhibit
ton. He will be transferred, as a mar
vel to the Exposition Building on Jeffer-
son street.
HARRY RYAN had his hands full, but
everybody felt safe as they entered the
trains, and not the slightest accident.
He did start without about one hundred
of us, but he was right-he knew better
than We did. Some thought there were
ten thousand.
THE Old Memphis Band certainly are
doing the best Shelby county has
''turned out" for a long while. Their
selections from Faust was much adj
mired by the lady musician who was
sitting near the third post from the
north end of the Grand Stand.
THE POLICE at the Fair Grounds de-
serve a Kind mention. Captain Athy
has certainly made a good selection.
Tbcxr o-o ,1oTfAa opH Grp, Tonfasn AEh,r
knows exactly what he is about, and on
a recent visit through the North, we saw
no city so well governed a Memphis.
How THE Central Baptist flourishes
as a moral institution we are not accur-
ately advised, but if the members of
that institution are as skilled in matters
spiritual as in providing for the wants
of the inner man, there is 10 lack Of
grace among DR.. LandTum's flock. Mrs.
and Mrs. Six served yesterday a
rich feast for the hungry at the Fair
grounds.
]. n. PAINE, of this city, exhibits a
Berkshire pig that weighs more than
our jolly old friend A. NJ. F., who was
also on exhibition. The pig is black, of
the Berkshire family, and weighs six
hundred pounds; our friend only two
tons, q sort OF match for n fat woman, /
tonnage has never been c~alcula-
ted. Freighted with a solid breakfast
she could not be lowed Over the bar at
the mouth of the Mississippi.
THE grand cash distribution of over
thousand dollars comes of

distributions is TO beautify and improve
The Fair Grounds, and already it can
EASILY be seen what great Improvements

nent. The names of those in charge is
sufficient guarantee that everything viii
carried out in good faith. Whole
