 Several Gold Watches.

Wm. DeLacey not only worked Mr C. W. Allen, the manager of the Bos- ton Ladies Military Band, for $l5G, as stated in Thursdays Graphic, but also carried away with him several of the fair musicians gold watches. He told the ladies, who had perfect confidence in him, that he possessed a lady friend in this city who was an expert watch repairer and who would not charge him anything for repairing any of his timepieces. Sev- eral of the ladies gave him their watches to be repaired and it will doubtless be long time before they see them again.

The daywas grand.

The day was grand.
 Miss Pine Bluff, see fl you can do as well at our Funniest celebration next year.
 Mayor Bell, of Pine Bluff, was at the depot to welcome the visitors and did it in grand style.
 Manager J. J. Whitaker, of the fair and his splendid charger, were much in evidence throughout the day.
 Horace Allis and George Hughes were at once taken charge of by the society swells of Pine Bluff and given a royal good time They stayed over to attend the hop last night.
 The editors of both of the Little Rock papers lent their presence to the occasion.
 There was universal regret at the absence Of Mayor Wood son.
 The dust was nearly a foot deep.
 Coming back from the fairgrounds yesterday afternoon one was unable to see a hundred yards in advance owing to the dust, which was every where.
 A visitor speaks of Pine Bluff as the "City of Dust.

THURSDAY AT THE GROUNDS.

Thursday was Old Soldiers and Young Soldiers Day at the State Fair.
 The Veterans who wore the gray, and the veterans who wore the blue, as well as the young veterans of the American-Spanish war, were present and celebrated the occasion.
 A large audience was present to do honor to the soldiers, young and old, and the day was altogether one of the most pleasant, enjoyable and inspiring in this years history of the State Fair.
 The ceremonies were in charge Of J. Ed Murray Camp, U. 2. V, and Paramore Post, G. A. R. The vet erans did not march to the Fair grounds. but formed into line in front of the blg gate, where they awaited the arrival of the Jefferson FeneibIes who, in command of Capt Braley, formed into line at Knox's ball at one o'clock and marched to the Fair grounds, headed 5Y the First Regiment Band. At the en- 1 trance to the Fair grounds the old veterans and the young soldiers formed in line and, preceded by the band, marched through the big gate and up to the grand stand. As they marched through the Fair grounds they were vociferously cheered by the assembled audience
 It was a grand and inspiring sight and thrilled the veins of those who witnessed it, this march of the veterans of two opposing armies, followed by lheir young sons in 5 blue. But it was not until later that the grandest and most thrill l ing demonstrations of the day took place.
 After the veterans and soldiers kreachcd the grand stand and were I seated, Senator James H, Berry, the .+orator of the day, was introduced. The introduction was made by Maj. N. T. White.
 Upon arising to address the audi  ence, Senator Berry was loudly ap- plauded, members of the c. A, R. Post joining in the applause. Sena- tor Berry's address was given marked attention, but the speaker being in the open air, the Senator's s voice could not be heard any great distance. He spoke of the Lost Cause, and recited many of the stirring events that happened on Southern battlefelds. He paid 8 tribute to the heroes who wore the gray and the heroes who wore the blue9 and then spoke of a reunited people and a reunited country. Then he referred to the Spanish-Ameri- can war and the patriotism and bravery of the Southern soldiers.
 His address throughout vas enter taining and at times eloquent. It was really a pity that his able and eloquent speech could not be
