SEVERAL BALLOON
Ascensions took place about three o'clock,
and for time nearly every eye was di-
rected skyward. One of the balloons came
down within sight of the gronds. During
this time several

The first ran was dash of one mile for a
purse of ten dollars, for which there were

The third race was dash of one mile for
five dollars, there being five entries. 1t
was won by a Mr.. Sterling. With the
last race the fair in manner closed, and
the crowd began to scatter, every omnibus
and vehicle of every kind being seized
upon as fast as they arrived at the gate
From the best Information we could gath
err, taking everything into consideration,
the fair proved q success, financially and
otherwise. We mean by this that the re-
| ceipts were at least equal to the expenses.
| Considering the cholera scourge of East
| Tennessee, and the financial panic imme.
dlately afterwards, this success is certain
| ly due to the untiring efforts of the officers
and directors of the Association, among
whom none seemed more indefatigable
| during the four days of the fair than Col
| A. Terry. ...'.r .".. 'N'
