Fair, they could not have chosen
more beautiful day. It was not cold,
nor was the heat oppressive. In fact it
was just such day as made all hearts
rejoice, and nature wore bright smile.
At an early hour everything was lively
about town, and especially ar the De
Lano House, for the Da 70" train
brought over bevy Of as lively girls
as we have met for some time; some
twenty-six young ladies from the Dali
ton Female college. They Were under
the charge of Rev. VIM. a. Rogers, A.
NJ, President of the College, and Prof.
Henry Schoeller, their Musical Di-
rector. 7 hey had been rendered
special invitation by the officers of the
Fair Association, and were here in an
swer to that invitation, to give the
visitors of the Fair something of a con-
cert. They stopped at the De Lano
House for breakfast, and from the
parlor the sounds OF merry voices, and
occasionally song could be heard, and
every body promised themselves treat
in the proposed concert.
At $50 train took the young ladies
and number of other parties, among
them ourself to the Fair Grounds, and
on the way we passed another female
school. we presume the Cleveland
school, on their way out to the
grounds, aud tut few moments after
we arrived one or two other schools
made their appearance, until the
grounds were filled by young and little
folks. But we wish it understood that
they were not the only ones arriving
on the ground for there was q cOntin-
ual stream of human beings pouring
in at the gate, and by noon the crowd
was estimated to be at least three thou
sand strong. Some few estimates
went below this figure, but the major
ity of those who made any estimate at
all gave 1t at least that high.
THE CONCERT.
About the first thing of general in.
terest was the concert, if such 1t may
be called, given by the young ladies Of
the Dalton Female College. The first
on the programme was "Wbisper
Sweet" chorus by the class, which
was very excellent.
Miss Minnie Myrick then gave
soprano solo, Loves Request" in
splendid style.
Miss Minnie Rogers next gave n
soprano solo, "Il Colonello," and the
pleasant countenance of the audience
was her reward.
Miss Linka Loveman gave an excel
lent piano solo, March de Concert"
and the Professor doubtless felt a just
pride in the manner she fingered the
"she plays like a man, with perfect
compOsure."
Misses Maggie Lowery and Pet. Nc
Cutchen gave a vocal duet, 1--WE Wan
dered in Dreams" which could not
easily be surpassed by any two young
ladies. They both possess excellent
voices, besides, no small share of per-
sonal beauty, and attracted no little at
tentiOn.
"The College Bell" chorus by the
class, was well rendered.
The soprano solo, "Oh, Charming
May" by Miss Pet NcCutchen, was
excellent
other one of her splendid piano solos,
LA Balladine."
distant Chimes" trio for female
voices, by Misses Lowery, McCutchen
and Myrick was rendered to perfection
aud appreciated by all lovers of music.
Miss Maggie Lowery then gave u
soprano solo, La Prima Vera" in
which her pure voice had full play.
She is an excellent singer.
The whole entertainment concluded
with a chorus by the class, / am the
mountain boy" and all present doubt
less felt gratified to the young ladies
for their visit and entertainment, and
we feel sure that the institution which
they represented made many friends,
as the young ladies gave evidence that
they were in careful hands.
THE CLEVELAND CoRNET BAND
Made its appearance on the grounds
sometime in the forenoon and remain
ed all day, furnishing occasionally
some excellent music. They are under
the leadership of Mr.. Steed.
Miss Vance, of Alabama, being call
ed upon seated herself before the piano
and we seldom il ever were more de-
lighted with piece of music or song.
She has a rich voice.
Other young ladies occupied the stool
during the day and the piano was kept
busy, much to the enjoyment of the
visitors at the fair.
