vase Of fruit, made by Miss Annie No
land, which is hard to surpass. Also
most beautiful wreath by Miss NJ.
Estella Rankin.
In the Ladies' Department, AIRS. H.
Hoss, of Jonesboro', displayed some
cotton hose knit 10y herself the yarn
of which she spuu herself, which sur
passed anything in the home made
hose line we have seen. Also very
fine hearth rug, and some fine cheese
of their own manufacture.
The display of Chez. " tier. i-lles,
preserves, cakes, breai ..v,., lug
of that kind was veI ..,-u by
no means as good IA At, when
is probably owing to TIN allure of the
fruit crop, and not to a want of interest
on the part of the ladie- We noticed
among the jellies new kind, namely:
dple Jelly, at least that is what it is la
beled.
THE TOURNAMENT RIDING.
At the appointed hour for the tour
nament riding, all eyes were directed
towards the main entrance, awaiting
the arrival of the gallant knights.
They soon made their appearance,
headed by the Greeneville Brass
Band in a spring wagon, which
! discoursed sweet music, and the gall
! laut knights paraded around the track
once, after which they were drawn up
in front of the stand, headed 10y the
Marshal, Mr.. G. T. Brown, in the fol-
| lowing order: j. b. Spencer, Tom A.
Baker, James Armitage, Ed. Link,
| David Wilds, Geo. Murphy, Robert
Fitzpatrick, Alexander Susong, and
William Maloney.

rings and the privilege of browning
| the Queen, but for the premium as the
most graceful rider, there being three
premiums offered, the first being $50
! in gold, the other two also cash prem
iums, but we failed to learn the
amount, as it was gotten up among
/ themselves. The following gentlemen
were selected as a committee: ThOs.
| MOrelock, :. ;. Woods, Jas. NJ. Gray,
| f. w. Earnest, and ID. 7. EddingtOn.
/ The knights were dressed in yOr~
geous apparel, and presented fine
| appearance as they dashed by the
stand several times, and rode around
the speed ring. The committee, all
strangers to the knights, awarded the
! premiums as follows: j. b. Spencer,
LIST; Edward Link, I'd; and Thos. A.
Baker, Sd. The decision, as far as we
could hear, gave general satisfaction,
except with one lady, who wanted Mr..
G. t. Brown, the marshal to have the
LIST premium, but being informed that
he was not cOntesting for it, she also
was satisfied.
THE SPEED RING
Was occupied twice, the first being a
| pacing race, for which there were two
entries. The premium was a pair of
fine silver gobletS and We're won by
Mr.. Dickinson, of Morristown.
The next was a walking match, and
only two horses were entered. The
premium, fine S25 silver water pitch
er, was won by Mr.. John Stoakley.
THE ATTENDANCE
Was very good to-day, and fully as
large, if not larger than on the I'd day
of the fair last year. It is expected
that the attendance tomorrow, the
last day. will be larger than il was to-
day; at any rate the indications are
that the fair will prove q financial
success.
Premiums were awarded for some
eight or ten classes to-day, but Of
course your correspondent could not
be at all the places at one and the
same time, and thus furnish you a list
of the premiums awarded, and as this
report has to be written before the
Secretary's books can be had, there was
no way of getting them.
i. 1t is with satisfaction we report the
success of the Johnson Pillow, made by
Clark & Co., of our city. For two
years it has taken the first premium at
every Fair in East Tennessee: To-day
, the Oliver Chill, Jones, Collins, and
, Davis plows, were on actual trial, but
in the opinion of the committee the
! Johnson was entitled to the "blue rib.
