TWO BLACK BEARS.
The ladies of the Missouri table in
planning the decorations for their tent
conceived very unique design, which
certainly brings the stand conspicuously
before the eyes Of the public. The
coat OF arms OF the State which they
represent has depicted on it the forms
Of two black bears supporting shield,
under which Is the Latin inscription
"Satus popuH supreme Ter est" (the
safety OF the people is the supreme law.
With this idea in view the committee
procured two huge bear-skins, with
stuffed heads, and fastened the bruins
up on the front OF the booth immedi-
ately over the crest OF the State. The
decorations OF the tent are OF red and
pink, and the whole effect is very
striking one.
The other tents, which have been de-
scribed in detail by tho DISPATCH, all
attracted large crowds. and the honors
Of the evening were very evenly divided
between them. Each has some parhcu-
larry attractive feature which IS calcu-
lated to tempt tho visitor, while the per-
sonnet OF the respective committees is in
itself sufficient to please the visitor.
VOTING PoR SWORD.
The very handsome sword in the
Maryland booth, which is under tho
charge Of Mrs. G. OBJ. Cowardin, will
be voted to the most popular officer IN
the State. The contest commenced last
night with considerable spirit, and when
the evening ended General Charles j,
Anderson was in the lead.
The Texas table. which bGs ns its most
prominent decoration beautiful star,

bellies of Richmond, and therefore its
success is assured.
