EASTERN DIVISION FAIR.
Closing Exercises the Annual Exposition

OlOsibR ENcrciSeS OF the Auhuhi exposition |
FOURTH DAY.
At an early hour people began to arrive |
at the grounds, and by . o'clock there was
a larger crowd than had been on any pre-
vious day 10y that hour, aud it was evident,
from the way they kept their faces turned,
that the cause of their early appearance on
the grounds was a desire to witness the ar
rival of the East Tennessee University ca.
diets. The crowd during the day was as
large, il not larger, than on any previous
day, and yet the utmost quiet and
good feeling prevailed among them. And
right here il will not be amiss to say that
we have never known more quiet and or
derby gatherings than those OF the last four
days. There have been but two slight dis
turbances during the entire fair-one mt the
speed ring, which was quieted down inn
mcdiately by the police force, who, by
the way, did their duty faithfully and
were highly commented upon 10y the Off
GERS of the fair, as we'll as visitors. The
other was little quarrel yesterday be-
tween two colored boys, we believe, which
was also soon quoted down eAt 10 O'Clock

their fine appearance while drilling and
their gentlemanly department during
their stay on the ground, eliciting many
complimentary remarks from the specta-

SPECIAL PREMIUM.
A special premium of $50 offered by Mr..
| Wesley Jarnigan, of Granger county, for
| the best self-adjusting wagon brake was
| awarded by the committee to the otierer of
| the premium.
| AT eleven o'clock the blowing contest
| was to take place and one of the parties
was promptly on the ground. w. L. john
| son, d Co. had challenged all turning
plows, either steel or cast to a match, to
take place at eleven o'clock, and several
had declared their willingness to make a
test of the merits Of the plows, but none
| came out on the ground. The pillow was
put on trial and gave perfect satisfaction to
all who witnessed it, many of the farmers
saying they nver saw plow work better.
! AT twelve O'Clock the pigeon shooting
took place, and created a considerable
amount Of interest. There were ten en-
tries, aud each man to have seven rounds.
The boundaries were stepped Off and the
