ment Of his many admirers who are
here to hear him. Judge Buxton
is here and fills the bill. He makes
one of his best speeches, and thor
oughly satisfies his audience. In
the afternoon the grounds were Wis.,
tied by some forty or fifty north
ern gentlemen, who said that all
though they had visited all the
places of interest in our city and
suburbs, this was "the strangest
they had seen." Strange on ac-
count of the intelligence, gentle
manly demeanor, the industry and
skill exhibited by the colored peo-
pie. All the departments were
visited by these northerners, and
pronounced grand. The NesUs and
Observer reporter being in a tree
and not engaged in the fight, had
a better opportunity than we to
give a full report, hence We append
a short sketch to fill the "day's
doings::"
"There were many white visitors
but the bulk of the crowd was of
colored people, who, it appeared,
were from nearly all parts of the
State. The women's hall was well
filled, the joists gay with quilts
Some good embroidery was shown,
but the prettiest pieces of work
were chair tides, made by Frances
Nit hell, of Wilmington. Cloth,
rugs, mats, ETC., we're noticeable.
The pantry supplies were tolerably
numerous, and the cake and bread
show meritorious, Edmund Jones
deserving special mention. In the
agricultural hall the following ex-
hibits deserve mention; Flowers
Rev. George Smith and dozen
Others; sheep, deer and goat skins,
tanned with hair on, sole leather,
harness leather, kip, pebble goat,
calfskin, all shown by W. A. Book
rum, of Franklinton, who also ex-
hibited peas, corn and set of har-

and bridle,-Leary, of Fayette.

peas, corn, wheat, oats, beets,
pumpkins, Geo. l., Lane, Raleigh.
The best display was by William
Lutterloh, of Wake county, who
showed corn, wheat, turnips, pota-
toes; meal and -four from his own
corn and wheat. A curiosity was

grown this season. In the mechan,
ical department. a colored man ex-
hibits well-made harrow, all his
handiwork. Geo. L. Lane shows
excellent cabinet work. In the
stock department William Bryant
showed fine bull. The horses
and cattle were all creditable, as
were the hogs. There were seven
bales of cotton on exhibition. The
poultry show is the best the colored
people ever made.
We regretted to see so many
games of chance OH the grounds,
and hope that the Industrial Asso-
citation will have better judgment
in the future than to license such
things. Eany a hard-eamed dol
lar was lost yesterday. The scenes
on every side were interesting, res
llly kaleidoscope. Brass bands
were here, there and everywhere,
The military drilled, the fremen
ran and shouted, race horses spun
around the track, and things were
lively generally. Good behavior
was general. The negroes were
