a Negro Fair.

At Lexington, the very centre Of Ken
lucky aristocracy, and the home of white
wealth and culture, the blacks own beau
tiful track of land, which they have con-
yerted into q Background. The place iswell
improved, and it always presents a neat and
striking appearance 20 those who view it
from their carriage windows driving the
public highway. In the purchase and con
struction of these grounds the blacks have
had the assistance of the whites, for the
whites recognize the importance of cultiva-
ing habits of thrift and industry ameng
those who only a few short years ago were
in state of vassalage. And in the manage
ment of the colored fairs the whites are al
ways ready to lend helping hand. They
freely grant their servants and tenants the
privilege of taking their finest specimens of
cattle and their best horses to the exhibition,
and, therefore, it is a common thing to find
on tie grounds of those colored fairs animals
of princely pedigree and of national fame.
There is no partisan feeling in the move
ment. The leading white citizens, regard
less of political faith, unite to encourage the
blacks to become good and useful citizens.
The broadcast spirit of liberality pcTvades
the management of the fairs. IN many of
the Northern States, where so much IS said
about the wrongs which the Southern peo-
pie have inflicted upon thesRegro, the white
man refuses to drive in ring With the
black man, and his refusal is sustained by
the judges in power. At the colored fair
which was held at Lexington in etlie last
days of September, in the contest for the
largest purse eifored for clearinghouse, two
of the drivers were white and two were
colofed, and in the judges stand were two
white gentlemen, prominent citizens Of the
community. In the MANI carriages driving
about the grounds and Surveying with GU
nous eyes tic science, were gentlemen and
ladies who had boon shareholders; and
among the distinguished of the gentler sex
were the families Of Federal and Confeder-
ate officers in the late struggle, the wife of
the ex-Confederate Secretary of War; and
the daughtero of an ex-G Governor of the State.
The blacks seemed to DO grateful for the at
tention shown them By those whose slaves
they had been, and good feeling prevailed on
all sides. There was q vast crowd ON the
grounds, but it was quiet and orderly.
Great interest was taken IN every feature
of the exhibition. We remember one old
woman who was made as proud as a Queen
by receiving the first premium for sthe best
loaf of bread, and her happiness would
not have been complete ha0 she not been
able TO carry portion Of that loaf home and
place It on the table Of the family in which
she served as eook.-I'ltrf, ltaR@ forWs
