Uniontown, July 2s.-(Special)-At an early hour of the day yesterday crowds began to arrive here. and when the bugle sounded the assembly for the Knights. every store in the city closed and people fiocked to Kennedy's Grove, the center of attraction for the day. The first event of the day was the grand tournament, in which twenty Knights contested for the prize. Among the Knights were several from Greens boro. one from Mobile and one from Thomaston. The Knights. after parad- ing over the ground. were charged by Capt. w. L. Pitts in an able address that showed much study and research. The contest was a warm one from be- ginning to end. For the first there was a tie between M. H. Murphy Jr.. of Greensboro. E. L. Nonnemacher. R. l.. Adair and Carter West of this city. In riding off the tie. MT. Murphy was the successful Knight For second price the contestants were F. F. Bayol of Greensboro and J. H. Davidson of this city. MT. Davidson, who rode as q proxy for Dr. J. N. Mclean. was the winner. Dr. Richard Inge and Hay wood McFadden of Greensboro and C. S. White of Uniontown contested for third prize and Mir. McFadden bore off the honors.
 After the tournament, the crowd, es- timated at from 2,000 to 5000 persons, assembled around the tables in the beautiful grove and partook of bar becue and stew. prepared in the best style. For an hour or two the crowd assembled around the large pavilion and indulged in skating. At 3:3O about 1900 baseball enthusiasts repair ed to the ball grounds In Chambers Grove and enjoyed one of the finest balls games of the season between New berne and Uniontown. As the visiting team had been an easy winner the day before, there was a large crowd from Hale County and the excitement was great. So much, SO that 1t was hard to keep the crowd back from the diamond. The visitors were so confident that in the morning they were eager for bets at three to one. Quite a large amount of money is said to have changed hands and 1t was all left here, as Uniontown won by a score of 6 to 1.
 At night a crowd of several hundred people assembled at the pavilion and the scene was one of rare beauty. The crowned Miss Reba Walden. Her first maid of honor. Miss Edna Halleck. from St. Louis. who is spending the summer with friends here, was crowned by Dr. J. N. Mclean. The second maid of honor. Miss Blanche Davis. another Canebrake beauty from Gallion. was crowned by Haywood McFadden. The carnival ball was led by Miss Alice Marx of Uniontown and I. O. David, son.

 jured at Unfon Springs.
 Union Springs. July 2s.AtSpecial)- A very heavy rain fell here this af- ternoon and from all appearances ex- tended over considerable territory. It was badly needed and will do a great deal of good to both the crops and the gardens. The rain was &C., companied by considerable thunder and lightning. Many telephones were burned out and Oscar Hayes. q young man who manipulates the connections in the telephone exchange. was badly shocked, requiring the services of two physicians to bring him around. At this writing it Is the opinion of the attending physicians that he Is not seriously injured.
 A splendid race track has just been completed here by a few citizens who are specially interested in fine horses; and 1t Is to be used for the purpose of training horses and speeding them. It Is located in what Is known as Ses- sions pasture, about a mile east of the business center of the town. It Is easily reached and will no doubt soon vie with the baseball park as a place of amusement and interest. A game of ball played here this af- ternoon between a team from Aber- foil. in this county, and a home nine. resulted in a victory for Union Springs by a score of to 2. The game was called at the end of the sixth inning on account of rain.

Representa- tives are present from thirty y-five coun- ties from the Tennessee line to Baldwin on the gulf. The lectures by F. J. Merriam, editor of The Southern RuraIist. proved most instructive and valuable.

 on the judging of dairy cattle given by N. C. Kew. He elaborated in detail the good points of the dairy COW, the time for breeding, and the best methods for raising calves by hand. The ques- tioning was brisk and the keenest in- terest was manifested. Joe Wing con- tinued the discussion by lecture on the principles of breeding.
 A Gaskell. one of the leading experts of the United States Department of Forestry. Washington. D. C.. arrived today and gave a most valuable address on forestry for farmers. It would have been worth a trip to the summer school to hear this one lecture He gave solemn warning against the in- calculable injuries to fertility, moist ure. etc, caused by the wholesale des- truction of the forests of the State. He pointed out the money value of the woodslot and larger tracts of woodland He spoke most interestingly. too. of the necessity of preserving the grea, Appalachian forests as the great re- servoirs of all Southern rivers that water our fields, drive our factories, and afford us our rain.
