During tho exciting scenes in
cident to this triumph tho most
prominent figures upon the grounds
wore, of course,
GOVERNORS HAMPTON AND VANCE,
who reviewed the troops. The
latter remarked when tho Georgians
come upon the field that northern
Georgia was settled at last by
North Carolinians, and their display
was quite as creditable to North
Carolina as to Georgia. At this
point n faint suggestion WIS made
by the Governor Of North Carolina
to the Governor of South Carolina,
and the reportorial eye next wan
dered to the spot where the two
chiefs reviewed the eclipse. The
military review by both Governors
and their respective staffs is said
to have been tho finest inspection of
eX-Confoderate military which has
tal1on place since the historic sur
render Of the Governor OF Georgia
East of tho Oconee"
On Thursday evening the ball of
the South Carolina Club was given
in the hall OF tho House of Repre-
scntativcs. 1t was grand affair,
four or five hundred of the elite of
South Carolina and our sister
States being present.
THE ATTENDANCE On FRIDAY,
though by no means equal to that
of the preceding day was good.
The chief interest centred in the
competition of companies of the
State outside of Cha fLestcn and
Columbia. The competitors were
the Lee Light Infantry, the Butler
Rihemen, the Newberry Rifles, and
the Ninety-Six Rifles. The Buffers
won by score Of 212. Next fol-.
lowed the team shooting. Eleven
teams entered. The German
Fusiliers, of Charleston, won by 119
out Of possible $50; tho Sumter
Guards, Of Charleston, second, and
the Richmond Hussars third. The
Fairfield toam showed good pluck,
but had had not the practice of the
Older teams, and stood lowest on
tho list.
Retracing somewhat, mention
should be made of the addresses
on Wednesday, of Governor Vance
and Mr.. II. p. Kimball, the Secre-
tary of the Winnebago Agricultural
Society, of Illinois. It was the
latter who, year ago, broke tho
ice between the sections by inviting
Jefferson Davis to deliver an ad-
dress. The Radicals howled ut tho
time, but MIR. Kimball was firner
and swore that MIR. Davis should
como. Mr.. Davis, however, very
properly withdrew his acceptance.
This year Governor Hampton was
invited by Mr.. Kimball, and went.
and made a happy hit. Mr.. Kimball
delivered an able address, paying
tribute to the South and hor sons.
1t is unnecessary to spoak of Gov
ernor Vance to those who have,
heard him, and to thoae who. have
not, he cannot be described. He
was enthusiastically received.
1t is impossible to review in this

THE NUMEROUS ARTICLES
upon exhibition, rs embraced in the
various departments from the fine
arts down to tho humblest division,
set apart in the exposition. It is q
notorious fact that tho exertions Of
Richland were not moro ably
seconded anywhere than by old
Fairfield, whose industries were.
conspicuous in every department. of
the exhibit It was impossible in
the crush of people and the general,
furry pervading the whole fair to
remember everything on exhibition.
but some articles from Fairfield
arrested attention. Mr.. T.. w.
Rabb, the veteran exhibitor, had a.
full display of cereals and peanuts,
also fine hay from Bermuda grass.
