A LOCAL FEUD SETTLED IN THE POLICE Court.
For some time past there has been an open
feud existing between the bhoys Of Mcdowell
vile and Riddles Banks. In this, as in all sim

pride and muscle, particularly the latter, and
was ready to assert it whenever the opportunity
offered. The auspicious moment dawned on
night before last, when two OF the champions
marched forth to test the strength of their arms.

CHA NIcAL AssoCIATIoN--THE RACES IMPAIRED BY
THE EPIZooT1c
Correspondence of the Commercial.
PRINCESS ANNE, Nd, Nov /.
Our first fair, just closed, was so successful,
that am tempted to write some account OF it.
And first, let me say, that TO be successful it was
necessary that there should be good attend
ance. There was nothing lacking in this respect.
On all three of the days OF the fair--W Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday-the grounds were throng-
ed with interested people who seemed to come
aud go without tire. The weather was delight
full, and the Society was very fortunate in being
thus favored.
The buildings on the fair ground were very
nearly in a complete condition; not far enough
from it to in any way impede OF detract from
the exhibition. Within these were spread out
the displays, all very creditable for first effort
The Agricultural Department., while not large,
WAS excellent in its articles and arrangement
The Ladies' department WAS most enticing in
its great array of tasty handiwork and the many
articles of household economy. OF stock some
really fine specimens we're shown-much better,
in fact, than many persons supposed existed in
the county. Some choice species Of fowls were
also on hand. Altogether the effort has quite
exceeded the expectations, and presages bril-
liant future for the society,"
The races were very much affected by the ep-
izootic, which is prevailing to n considerable OK
tent with us. Some of the horses were too sick
to be brought out at all, and many which were
on the course should have been i'll the stables.
The first race half mile dash for g. year olds,
was won by Baldwin Hufty's "Dolly" in 1.05 and
LIS. The second race was won by VIM. T.
Fleming's "Belle" in 9, 10, 2;50s4 and 2.51A.
VIM. It. Flemngs "Colleotor' gathered in the
purse in the running race in LES.
Three races were trotted the second day. The
fret was won.by E. d. Raids ''Nellie" in 3.l74
and 321k the second by Flemming's - Collec-
| tor in 2,41l4 and LBS the third by Flem-
ming's Belle . in $50, 24S11 and 2.47 On
Friday two races took place-the double teams
and hurdle races. The first was won by w. T.
Femmings " Priam and " Grey in three
straight heats. Time 32G1G, 3.31l. and $50.
In the hurdle race Femmings " Divolo " WAS
the victor in 2.23 and 2,20 ONE OF Us.
