In photography and paintings in
: all styles of the art, Messrs. Brown
and Hunter have some very fine sam
pies. That of Mr.. Berry in pastel,
and Mr.. Hacket Martin i'll India Ink,
J are striking likenesses among those
in Mr.. Hunters exhibit.
Mr.. Brown has large and varied
assortment in very fine photography.
People we all know, and who had no
sort of idea they were half so good
looking until they faced the camera.
The painting of Judge Faulkner at
tracted universal attention. 1t is the
finest water color ever exhibited in
Martinsburg. The array of the in
nocents in all sizes is novel feature
of the display, as well as very at
tractive one. Babies are like the
poor, in that we shave them always
with u.s." IN. B.-I hope the typos
wont tangle this up, as they did some
of our sentences last week, and des-
troy the connection.
| In art work of subtler shade, there
were several beautiful and fine etch-
ings by VIM. Leigh, the art student,
whose letters from abroad are so in
teresting to to the readers of the
Statesman"
There was also water scene in
pastel, and painting that was enti-
tied Cupid on Bender" which, if
taken as exhibits, deserved the high
est praise. They were, perhaps, just
hung for adornment, as they were
not classified in any way.
The displays of cut flowers were all
beautiful. Mrs. Luther Miller ex-
hibited the greatest variety, and was
given the first premium.
Miss Belle Martin also exhibited
some paintings that were remarkably
well executed for the time she has
been studying.
Jellies, fruits, canned and fresh,
were abundant, and so were samples
of domestic bakery. All the princi-
pal merchants had fine displays, nota-
bly, so in the jewelry and silverware,
by Jones. The different carriage
manufactures were all represented.
The jewelry exhibit of w. L. Jones
represented solid gold and silver ware,
real diamonds and precious stones.
The races on Wednesday and Thurs
day were very good, and everybody
seems pleased with the attractions Of
| fered at the Fair.

1t will be remembered that during
the Berkeley Zouave's picnic at Mt.
Alto, the Hagerstown, Williamsport
and Zouave companies shot for gold,
silver and leather medal, and that in
the contest the Zouaves made 81, the
Hagerstown company Sc and the Viii
Transport company SIS points, out Of
possible IS. On the 18th instant there
was another contest between the same
companies and the Martinsburg Ar
tillery, who used the Zouave guns, at
the Fair Grounds in Martinsburg,
with the following result: Hagers-
town and Williamsport So each, Zou-
aves 40, and Artillery 81, out of a score
of 10 the first two companies then
shot to decide the tie, and out of
possible % the Hagerstown company
made - and the Williamsport compa-
ny Is. The medals were then awarded,
the gold to Hagerstown, silver to Will
Transport and brass to the Artillery.
The boys of the military here say
their visitors were genial, warm
hearted fellows the contest was fair
and honestly won and bid them a
hearty welcome to see them again.
The shooting was all done at great
disadvantage, being directly in face
of the sun.
