THE STOCK DEPARTMENT.
Is well represented on the entry book, but
as yet, much of the stock has not arrived
on the ground. 1t was impossible for us to
get up a complete list of the stock there, but
noted the arrival of Col. VIII. Turley, with
"a fine Jersey bull, a atwo-year-old heller
and two fine calves of the same stock.
| Mr. n. Il. Beal, of Hawkins county,
brought number of fine hogs and two
| fine Merino sheep. Mr.. A. b. Malindy,
| from the same county, brought Dandy
Jack, q trotting mule, the FLY Lady Grace
! and her dam, and q two-year-Old Dandy
colt. There was other fine stock on the
ground and we heard of more that is ex-
pected to-day.
THE RACES.
| The second race on the programme of
| the day was taken first by consent, being
dash of one mile, the first TO receive
! $50, There were four entries, as follows
Robert Wood-Little Mack. .
H. l.. McClellan-Little Bill.
T.. G. Silvester-Bay Mare.
w. w. mpbell-Logan.
The race was won by II. l.. Mcclellan,
little Bill' coming out four feet ahead ;
time 1:5j.
The second race was for trotting horses
| owned in East Tennessee, one mile, all to
90 together in harness-first horse to re-
ceiyc $50. These were the entries as fol-
| lows:
A, b. Nalindy-Dandy Jack, b. h. .#
II. s. Payne-Black Frank b. z.
J. NJ. Dickinson-Kate, q. =.
The first mile heat having been made, it
was declared by the Judges that owing to
| the fact that the horses of Messrs- j. Nj.
Dickinson and r. :. Payne had broken
gait several times, it was deemed proper
| that the race be run over. Mr.. lMalindy at
| first declined, claiming that his horse had
| trotted squarely, but finally agreed, and
the second race resulted in r. S. Payne
winning the prize time minutes.
! The same horses meet to-day in the trot
| for four hundred dollars, when an exciting
contest is anticipated.
FAIR PROGRAMME FOR TODAY.
The entries yesterday, as above stated,
were quite numerous, though not all OF the
| articles were exhibited. To-day the dis
| play will be more creditable. There have
| been many obstacles in the way Of sue
! cessful exhibition this year that are not Of
| ten, if ever, met with, but nOtwithstand-
! ing this, We believe the fair will prove
success to-day. The programme for the
speed ring to-day will be

SECOND DAY.
Yesterday was q marked improvement
| over the day previUue,in regard to entries
well as the attendance of visitors. The
weather was all that could have been de-
sired, and the air was as genial and balmy
as Indian summers day.
Early in the day visitors canae pouring
through the gates, and as soon as the Sec
retary's office was opened Esquire Ochs
was beseiged by a clamorous host of entry
seekers who could only be appeased by the
magic tag, while the ticket office was the
scene of a rush as each omnibus deposited
its living freight at the gates.
Not liking the appearance of bare walls,
Mr.. Schleier sent out some Of his finest
chromos, and Major /, y. Gratz displayed
several splendid

~ .T.Hr Oh THE SECOND FLOOR H..#
Everything was active yesterday and
large number of entries were made. We
noticed several fine specimens of marble
| from the Knoxville Marble Company
some of which will weigh 40 pounds to
the cubic foot, ten pounds heavier, we are
told, than any marble known. In this
connection we would mention that Messrs
Scott, Simmons d Co., have on exhibition
q marble-top table, the marble of which
was taken from the quarry now in pos
session Of the Knoxville Marble Company
while the wood work was all done in theil
shop. 1t is claimed that this marble car
not be eXcelled in any country, and wa
very fayoTably spoken of at the Nienni
Exposition.

Of minerals, belonging 10 the Board o
Trade we believe. Also a large number o
: minerals belonging to different parties
were exhibited on the first floor.
