The fact is acknowledged by every one
that the most attractive feature of the fair
was that furnished by the English gentle
men who participated in the races. Their
admirable conduct, the entire good feelin g
and absence of Earring among them though
engaged in hot contest, and their hearty
desire for the success of the fair made
them friends every where. On the last
night of the fair supper was rendered
them by Mr.. J. D. Crowle Of the Virginia
Hotel. and among the guests invited were
Gen. Echols. Capt. w. l.. Bumgardner and
J. T. Byers of the City Council, and Robt.
Hill and lady and the conductors of the
press i'll the city. The English ladies were
present with their husbands and the even
ing was delightfully."- spent. There were
tOasts to Queen Victoria, to the President
of the United States, to Mr.. J. D. Crowle
and lady, the press and many others. Gen
Echols. Capt. Bumgardner, Mr. Jacob
Yost and others responded to the toasts.
Mr. o. w. Wilkinson presided and after
the ladies left the table there was good
deal OF hearty fun.

JOHN SHERMAN'S DUEL.
Another Witness Relates Some Reminis-
cenoes Of the Famous Fight.

Especial Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Enquirer
NASHVILLE, Nov. 22-Col. John II. Savage,
speaking to-day 81 the sherman Wright NJ
fair. says he Ia the man alluded W ~ being
Wrights companion; Savage regards
two minor details. ~ literally trno state
TneDt. and contributes n chapter himself to
Shsrmans record ns big brave.
Savage served in Congress with Sherman,
and knew him we'll Sherman was chairman,
or leading man OF tho committees which re-
ported on Kansas affairs, and the admission
oil Whitfield NJ delegate from that Territory.
The report raised d storm o. the Southern
aide. Whitfield was originally from Tonnes
see, and Savage was put forward TO answer
the report. In lengthy speech, which caused
great comment throughout tho country o. The
time, he branded 1t as false o forgery, and
dishonorable. with special reference TO Sher-
man, giving him m opportunity 10 take IL up
liz lac wished to. Sherman took no action
whatever In tho matter This Wns three weeks
before the Wright encounter. Savage said
that, knowing Sherman as he did, he expected
no trouble; but. or course, as was customary,
he prepared himself for emergencies.
Az 10 the episode at the Capitol, Savage
says he came out with Wright Iollicoffer
had advised street fight; but Savage. on
account of Wrlghts inexperlence In such
matters had counseled against that method,
prRferrlng duel They were coming down
the walk; Sherman, surrounded by Xix ~
eight friends, WAS approaching from another
direction, the paths crossing near q fountain.
Wright and Savage were walking slowly, as
the latter wanted TO keep hts man cool
Sherman and his friends were going at q
rapid gait. and when Wright reached the
erosslng point, Sherman had passed on some
thirty or forty yards. One of Sherman's
friends Kelsey, a New York Congressman
had Jagged behind, and had TO double-quick
TO catch ID. III this way did Sherman cor
ner his adversary.
Sherman's attack on a man whom he sup
posed To be dead is regarded throughout the
State with contempt, and Ii an Illustration
that not Southern Democrats but Northern
Republicans. are reyiving unpleasant SOC
dional Incidents.

try, The amount OF coin above mentioned

the present rate of accumulation goes on, Ia
nearly twice as large MS the country ever con-

report that, with such an amount of coin In
