 The Little Rock Gazette exhibited a degree of small and contemtible dis crimination against our boys who visit ed that city to contend with the Little Rock boys in glass ball and pigeon shooting during Fair week, which is hard to explain. The idea of news paper refusing or neglecting to pub fish the score of shooting match be- cause the boys from that town got beat is inconceivably small to publish a score which would defraud the suc- cessful gunner out of his well earned reputation as the best shot, and give the praise to some one else, as the Gazette did actually do is still worse. Mr. J.
 
 pion of the occasion, but his name did not once appear in the reports of the Gazette,

 The State Fair last week was, in some respects, q moderate success. As an Agricultural exhibit of the products of Arkansas it was a signal failure. Tn point of numbers it was perhaps as I successful as any previous effort. We think it was admitted that nothwith- standing the prevalence of the yellow fever in the eastern part of the State, which cut off q goodly number from that section the attendance exceeded any former year. This shows grow ing interest in these exhibitions, and it is to be regretted that the show was not such as to prevent the visitors from going away disgusted. The racing was the main attraction, and absorbed all other features of the Fair. Indeed had it not been for the spee1-ring there would have been few visitors at the grounds few at least, who would have paid the grounds second visit.i To the dullest observer the conviction was forced upon his mind that the whole thing was gotten up and manipulated in the interest of horse Jockeys and those who "bet their money on the bobtail nag? There is, we regret to say little encouragement for anything else. We found that many of the most solid and enterprising men of Little Rock refused to make displays of their goods or have anything to do with it.. We learn from reliable sources that the largest premiums awarded last year and year before have never yet been paid. The buildings and accomoda- tions on the grounds are of the rudest and toughest character, and, as we stated before, there is very little in- ducement held out to encourage e3hlbl. tors to attend the Fair. If the Asso- citation wants to have State Agricul- tural and Mechanical Fair, there must be a change in their mode of conduct- ing the thing. We trust there will be, and thaty hereafter it will be so mana ged as to make it more of an exhibit of the farm and shop products of Arkan- sas than gathering of horse racers and gamblers.
