The second day Of the Estate Agricul-
tursl Fair" has closed. The day was pro.
pitious. The sun shone brightly, and the
atmosphere was cool and pleasant. About
1000 people gathered on the ground, and
al II O'clock In the forenoon the
EXHIBITION OF STOCK
on the track took place. There were
good number Of horses, and some very fine
ones too The display Of cattle was limi-
ted, although some firstclass stock were
to DO seen. MIR. Beale, the celebrated
Mason county farmer, put in herd His
bullock and COWS took first premiums,
and will do solagain on most any Fair
ground. Mr.. BealeEis unquestionably
successful stock breeder. The swine was
ahead OF everything else. We noticed
four or five that would weigh at least 300.
pounds gross each, and the Oldest one was
20 months; besides, none Of them were
very fat. They were all raised In the
county. One Of the horses, 20 black stall
lion three years old sand owned by
Southern Methodist preacher, sold for
$500 cash after he was taken out OF the
ring. lie is a fine colt but has no gait,
and never will be fast.

through all the departments to day, In OF.

on exhibition. There is splendid exhi-
FRUITS
OF nearly every variety. Among other
things we observed water melon raised
by Dir. A. s. Hern. near Charleston,
which weighed 81 pounds. The Cereal
Department was very fairly represented,
also. =

productions. The only real effort TO ex-
hibit articles under this head was made
By tho Anchor Stove Works, OF West
Charleston. This Company has; perhaps,
Cor 10 different stoves Of their own make
on exhibition, besides considerable mum.

to be good castings, and will no doubt
command premiums. Z SaSs
In the line OF curiosities Mr.. j. Brisben
Walker has on exhibition a volume Of
Chinese Military Tactics printed in the
genuine Chinese language. It is o crude
looking book and Is in keeping with the
general status oil the "Heathen Chiuee."
Under this head Mr.. Preston has entered

be excelled. e.! J.rrn.t' % u D.. ...a.
