General Lee and tha llrrolutlonary
Drmwrury.
From a correspondence dated April 1861*
republished elsewhere, It will be seen what a
straggle it cost Gen. Lee to resign bis position
in the United Suites Army, and with wbat
reluctance be yielded to the revolutionary spirit
which dragged his nativo State into the war
of Secession. General Leo was never in sym
pathy with the leaders of tho reckless
Secession Democracy; but being educated
in that school of politics which imposed
upon the citizen ultimate allegiance to
the Stato Government, he, after opposing So.
cession in its inception, yielded to its de
mands when it became an accomplished fact,
and cast his sword in tho scale with his na
tive SUtte. In view therefore of Gen. Leo’s
well known Union record, up to the evil day
in which Virginia attached herself to the fatal
train of the revolutionary Democracy, and in
view of his dignifiod and noble bearing after
the war closed, such exultations as the follow
ing which we find in the Augusta Constitu
tionalist not only do the memory of the illus
trious dead great injustice, but aro otherwise
inappropriate and offensive to correct taste:

THE FAIR.
The lfilh Annual Fair of the Geor
gia Slate Agricultural Society.
THIRD DAT.—FRIDAY.
A greater difference in two consecutive days
could hardly be imagined than Thursday and
yesterday. Thursday was cold, bleak and
miserable. Yesterday bright and beautiful as
an October day conld be. All felt its influence,
and it was evident from the arrival of the first
train that it was going to be one of tbe great
days of the Fair; by noon it was estimated
that there wero not less than
20,000 PEOPLE PRESENT.
Tho grand amphitheatre was crowded with
people, the various departments were crowded,
the shows reaped a rich harvest, and the re
freshment booths and stands were extensively
patronized.
THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD
ran trains every half hour without an accident,
everything being iu running order, all worked
smoothly. After noon it was found necessary
to increase tho number of cars to fifteen, while
the train, the previous day, six cars were found
ample to accommodate tho visitors.
THE STOCK RING
was the great center of attraction. Shortly
after nine the third class of u Life l -
HEAVY DRAFT HORSES
were shown. For section one, best stallion,
premium $100, there were four entries:
Mr. David Wade of Fulton county, a fine
brown “John Vera or," aged four years.
Mr. N. Smith of Fayette, a bright bay Mon
arch horse, “General Hampton.**
Mr. J. Blocst of Piko county a magnificent
black, “John Morgan.**
Mr. J. >hn M ' - •:. o.anty, .i v, ry
fine bay, “Homan.”
Ronmu took tbe first prize and Morgan tbe
second.
A handsome gelding shown by Messrs.
Redwino & Fox was much admired. The
fourth rhi-ss,
thoroughbreds,
Next claimed attention. The prize of. $100
was taken by Mr. J. Walters of Albany, with
Whirlwind, a remarkably fine and well bred
te. He is now twenty-two years old; he
was sired by Tempest by Pumpkin Boy, bo by
Stockholder; dam, Old Ann Barrow, by Cock
of the Walk, ho by Duroc, bo by old Dromed.
His fiist race was trotted at Atlanta when be
w.ih three years old. He is a fiuo dark bay
with black legs and is every inch a horse.
Tho second prize, $73, was awarded to Ma
jor Lynn of Bartow county, for a fine young
chestnut, “Rod Algernon.”
Tho other competitor was Mr. J. O. Roper
of Bartow county, who showed a fine boy horse,
•Bob Ln*o." For
MORGAN STALXIAN8
There were two entries. “Black Hawk, Jr.,”
half brother of Ethan Allen, sired by Green-
hill and old Black Hawk; fourteen years old,
shown by Mr. Whetlock of Marietta, and
Morgan," a fine black, entered by Mr.
Holliday, of Fayette county, a Georgia raised
horse, 7 years of ago.
Black Hawk took the prize.
OTHER STOCK.
The prize for the best large horse colt, one year
old, was taken by Mr. Walters with a very fine
sorrel, by Jack Malone, out of Aunt Chase,
the old Lexington stock being in him.
Mr. Rosser, of Stevenson, Alnbama. showed
a fino colt, but not having any certificate the
premium was not awarded.
The prize for the best mare and colt
taken by Mr. Grogan, of Fulton county.
Major Waring took the prize for a remarka
bly fine mare.
An honorary prize was also awarded tea
very handsome mare shown by O. H. Jones Jb
Co.
For three year old fillies Mr. Dupre, of Cobb,
was the only exhibitor and took tbe premium.
For two year old fillies there was no entry.
Mr. J. M. Mabbett took the premium for 1
year old fillies with a neat little Eclipso colt.
Mr. W. H. Styles next appeared, mounted
on his own horse. Ho got a good start but
immediately afterwards threw a shoe, which
caused him to break. He was speedily caught
and traveled well. At tho second comer bo
broke again but only momentarily. He made
the half mile in 1:25—the mile in 2:39, mak
ing the last half mile in very good time. He
was cheered heartily on coming home.
Mr. Gonldsby then appeared, and os there
had been some misunderstanding os to orders,
tho judges gave him permission to pace,
allowing Mr. Styles the privilege to pace
again if his time should be beaten.
He appeared also in the pigskin. His mare
was an excellent pace, but broke rather badly,
tho consequence being that ho made his half
mile in 1:18, and the milo in 2:40. Just a
second less than Mr. Styles.
MB. STYLES WAS DECLARED THE WINNER.
The next on the programme was section
three of class right, a prize of $100 for the
fastest pair of trotting horses, Georgia raised.
For this there were three entries:
Mr. S. P. Salter, Gin Burner and Orphan
Boy. and
A fine pair of horses, unnamed, by Mr M.
G. Whitlock of Cobb county.
The latter trotted first, and made a good
trot of it, with but one break in tbe whole
mile. They xnado the half mile in 1:38, and
tbe mile in 33.7*. .
The little blacks came next and made a
gallant trot, never breaking .until within 20
fort of thestring, when the winner tripped np
and was noi on a square trot, which created
trouble, os after a consultation, the judges de
cided that the race should be* considered
a dead heat, though they made the mile in
3:8*.
The result of this, however, was
As for once it was decided to let them trot
together. The announcement of the fact was
received with immense cheering.
They got an excellent send-off neither hav
ing a foot tbe advantage. The blacks hod the
inside; at the firefc turn they were half a length
ahead; on tho second turn, however, Mr.
Whitlock’s pair were coming np, and on tho
back-stretch they were close together. The
sorrel: broke np on the home-stretch tbe first
time round, the blacks passing undor the
string two lengths ahead, in 1:38. A very
fino contest ensued, the mixed team gradually
nearing the blacks, and finally collaring them.
The race home was magnificent, the blacks
winning by half a length in Still, amid the
of the multitnte. The excitement was
and the universal expression was that
they had at least seen one good race.

the public by permitting^horses to trot togeth-

to understand or appreciate the senti
ments of the Southern Republicans and Union
men in this matter. Many of the ablest, most
worthy and valnod members of the Republi
can party in Georgia, as also in other Southern
States, are of those who were gallant officers
in the Confederate armies. Bnt when the
Cause for which thoy fought was surrendered, it
was surrendered by them in good faith ; and
since then, the Government of tbe United
States has been their Government, itx flag has
been tkeir flag, and its cause has been their
About eleven o'clock the trotting commenc
ed for Georgia raised horses, one mile against
time. The jndges were Mr. O. H. Jones, At
lanta, J. T. Anderson, Cobb county, J. H.
Nichols, White county, T. Dupre, Polk coun
ty and R. Sims, of Kentucky.
The following hones were entered:
Mr. Whitlock’s No Name.
Wr. Walker's .Walker.
Mr. W. H. Styles Metz.
Mr. S. P. Salter Gin Burner.
Mr. J. Goldaby Orphan Boy
Mr. N. H. Biddlecombe Bertrand.
Gin Burner was the first to show, apd after
a good, steady trotting, without a break, made
his mile 2:50*, the half mile in 1:35. |
Metz then came forward trotting to a wagon.
He went steadily, bat the gate was peculiar,
bring a half nek. His time was 1:36*
and 3ti6J.
Mr. Beddlecomb's horse,Bertrand, next put
in an appearance. He is a fino stylish hone,
trotting well and squarely, of a dark chestnut
color. He was much admired and did the
half inilo in 1:3*2, the mile in 3:6*.
Mr. Walker’s horse attempted to trot, but
gave it up in despair on the first quarter.
No name, a handsome black, trotted well,
only breaking onoe in tbe mile and then he
quickly got back. Ho performed in 1:28 and
2:37;.
Orphan Boy, the mate to Gin Burner, was
tho last. Ho trotted well and squarely not
breaking once. He made tbe half mile in 1 r24
the mile in 2:50f winning the prize.
This patriotic course was strictly adhered to
by the noblo man whose memory we revere.
That Gen. Leo was at heart a Union man, and
that he had no sympathy with, or respect for
the Secession leaders who precipitated the
country into revolution, no well informed
man presumes to question; but being drawn
into the vortex by the mero force of circumstan
ces, Lee, with all his genius and herculean
energies, Hko thousands of others among the
best men in the South, distinguished himself
as a Confederate soldier. But when the war
was over, ho had no farther contest
to make. Tho decision being fair and
final. General Lee, uulike the little
horde of Confederate camp followers, spec
ulators, bummers, bomb-proofs, aud small
politicians, pursued the causo of a good aud
loyal citizen. He sought not to live ou the
fallacious glories of tho “Lost Cause,” nor to
renew a hopeless contest in ord* r to keep
himself conspicuous before thej revolutionary
party which would fain claim the honor of his
favorable recognition. - General Leo had no
war to make against the “usurpations of Con
gress,” and no puerile ambition to become tbe
idol of an ephemeral and disloyal sentiment;
and in paying respect to his memory, the Re
publicans of the South do not revere the “prin
ciples” or the “righteousness" of the cause of
Disintegration and revolution, nor do they
give a “sign" that they approve the insane
vsgneries of the Stephens family or of their
toadies aiul fuglemen.
ORTHAN BOY THE WINNER
was lustily cheered on passing the stand.
The stupid practice of trotting horses
against time was much condemned, and many
efforts were made to get the rule altered, but
like tbe edicts of King Darius of old, aud the
laws of tho Modes and Persians, no impres
sion conld be mado and the public were dis
appointed. An intermission for
then announced, and leaving tho track
we got a brief interval in which to enjoy the
other departments, bnt not lengthy enough to
give anything like a just description of articl
that have been entered since our first general
notice. In fact, articles for exhibition are
still arriving, but by to-morrow we presume
everything that is for exhibition will bo on
the tables, and then we shall endeavor to do
justice to all. There aro a multitude of things
in tho art gallery as yet unnoticed by us, some
of the most beautiful and unique characters.
Shortly After two o’clock tho race-track again
became the object of attraction
PONT RACES
Beiug in order for a prizo of $50; there were
five entries :
Mr. J. G. Rucker.
Mr. McLendon.
Mr. W. IL Styles.
Mr. John Gonldsby.
Mr. David Ackon.
Mr. Rucker's horse was tho first to show
pacing to harness. He broko up shortly after
the start, and that badly. He mado tbe half
mile in 1:45—the mile in 3:21.
McLendon and Gonldsby were ruled out for
not being on time.
Mr. Acken s horse next showed in a wagon.
He paced well, only breaking once on the
homestretch, the second time round. Ho
made his miie in 3:11. —
hand j>ower. It is an ingenious contrivance,
that shells, cleans, and seperates the corn, and
has an elevator for sacking. The smaller one
of the two work on the same principle, but is
designed only for bond use.
Among the machinery started during the
morning, was the
GODFREY FLOUR COOLER AND BOLT^CLEAKER.
It claims to be an important improvement,
which consists of a blast of air thrown on the
external surface of the bolt by a fan, placed at
the head of the chest. The air is conveyed
into the chest by a tin tube, along, and paral
lel with the reel, and issued through a slot^a
the side of tho tube, on the cloth with suffi
cient force to keep tho meshes open and ab
sorb the steam generated in grinding.
From G. S. Ruble, Chattanooga, we see
three or fonr inventions. Ono of them is the
Manny •
DROAD-CAST SEEDER AND CULTIVATOR.
This machine claims premiums from fifteen
State and county Fairs. It has an “agita
tor” and “grass seed attachment;” the teeth
are adjustable, and it has a slip cultivator
tooth, to prevent breaking when, working
among stumps, or roots. It is* manufactured
at Rockford, Illinois.
Another is the Nash & Catts
FOURTH DAY—SATURDAY.
A MAGNIFICENT RACE.
One of tbe most interesting exhibitions of
tbe evening was Master George C. Whitlock
driving in a sulky alone the magnificent
stallion Black Hawk J which had taken the
premium in the morning. This juvenile
Jehu is six years old, but managed the ribbons
admirably, turning, backing, walking or
trotting bis horse as he pleased, his per
formance elicited many cheers.
Mr. Scott’s very fine pair of horses was also
on exhibition, named Bob Leo and Roger
Hansor. They elicited tbe most marked ad
miration, tbe prevailing opinion appearing to
be that as [a pair ol harness horses none on
tho ground were ^superior. Mr. Scott is a
Kentucky gentleman who enjoys the posses
sion of fine stock, is ajnoted breeder, and
though he never trots his horses’for profit,
bnt likes to see them appreciated by having
them obtain a few premiums at such Fairs as
this.
The Tournament gentlemen then took
^session of the track and practiced riding at
the heads and rings much to the amusement
of the public.
COLONEL WELL'S CASE
is attracting much attention. It was cut
yesterday and some prizes secured, including
one diamond, one ruby and, one pearl ring,
none of tbe most valnablo prizes, however
have as yet been secured.
An elegantly made piece of machinery, and
claiming a few advantages over the general
run of competitors.
Then comes some improvement on the road

THE STUD ERASER WAGON, -I 7 ’
is a piece of elegant workmanship. It is. made
from Indiana timber, and claims to be the
lightest running, and most durablo wagon in

A simply arranged
HORSE POWER
has been put up on the grounds by 3Ur. E. O.
Thompson & Bra, of Thomasville, Georgia.
It rTrims greater speed than any other like
power, when required for threshing, and can
be used as ground, or suspended power.
A small, bnt much needed contrivance is
exhibited with this power, called the '
PICKET SHARPENER.
It can be adapted to many kinds of light
work, and will always be found useful on the
farm or in the workshop. W. W. Johnson is
the patentee.
From the office of J. M. & J. C. Alexander
of this city, is exhibited a splendid show of R.
Hoe & Ca’s cast steel saws, among which ore
those with the patent inserted teeth.
'While looking through the above collection,
our attention was called to
A VERY SIMPLY CONSTRUCTED PLOW,
Exhibited by Mr. B. F. Camp, of Covington,
Georgia. This plow has an entirely new aud
original fastening for the blade, or “shear. 1
It is a carved rod, fastening to the beam about
midway, and, going bock of tho catch, hooks
into tho shear. The common difficulty in
regulating angles in plowing, is obviated by

swiftness. They also ore exhibiting
is a very popular place of amusement under
the management of Mr. Eugene St Clair.
There will be a grand match to-day, and on
Monday night a grand Olympic Tournament
at tho;Rink in the city.
The forenoon coming out remarkably ‘pleas
ant, in strong contrast to tbe raw atmosphere
of yesterday, a great many of tbe Agricultural
impliments on exhibition at Mechanics’Hall
i brought out into the open air and put to
a preliminary test of their various qualities.
During the forenoon the trains running from
the city to the grounds, brought out an un
usual number of passengers on each visit;
and, by 12 o’clock, the different wards and de
partments within tho inclosure presented a
lively and animated appearance.
In their latest and best attire, thronged the
halls, and gave a new phazo entirely to the
scenes around the different places of attrac
tion; and especially at the race coarse, where,
during the forenoon, much interest was mani
fested in tho exhibition of stock.
Among the articles put on preliminary test
by their exhibitors, daring the forenoon, was
the
RED ROVER,
Or “Guano and Cotton Seed Planter.” It is
manufactured at Milledgeville, and is put in
competition by the inventor.
The machine is simple in construction,
having a wheel, with rotary cylinders, from
which tbe seed is dropped and regulated in
quantity by a simple movement contrivance.
With this, comes another grain and seed
distributor, known os
COLLINS* SEED PLANTER.
It has a common wood stock, two cyllinders
ono for cotton seed and the other for corn. It
h*g Jess complication in its construction than
many of the great number on exhibition; and
by persons who have tested its worth, is said
to give good satisfaction. Mr. J. N. Burton,
Griffin, Ga., is the exhibitor.
On a table in tho Hall is seen an ingenuioas
and handy invention called the
V* 1 .. BROAD CAST SEED SOWER.
Tho machine is swung from the neck, and
tho groin thrown out, bread cast, by the
of a crank. It is tho invention of a Mr. Ca-

Close beside it is another contestant for
favor, the
CORN STOCK HAND, AND WHEEL, SOWER.
It marks off tho ground with rut, lino and
marking rako, and forms rows of uniform
width. Tho manufacturer is Was. G. Com
stock, East Hartford, Conn.
From Semple, Bergo & Co., St Louis, there
is the
LUCKEY RAKE,
so constructed as to dispense with lever power
for raising tho prongs. These act by the for
ward motion of the machine, at the option of
the driver. They sell for forty-fire dollars,
and are exhibited by Mr. Edward K. Holton.
GREATER CROWDS MORE LADIES, BEAUTIFUL
Leather, the fair the most successful
EVER HELD.
Yesterday broko with a cloudless sky, and
the intimations were that the crowd, enormous
as it was on Friday, would be exceeded, and
this anticipation was not disappointed. Train
after train arrived crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, and the constant stream of vehicles
kept tho gate keepers busy.
As we anticipated when the Fair opened on
Wednesday lost, the various entries were so
numerous that it was found impossible to
have them all properly arranged before yes
terday, and some articles wero not in position
nntil tbe afternoon of yesterday. Under these
circumstances, it is almost impossible to say
when the Fair will or ought to close. On yes
terday the vast crowd had the first opportunity
to judge of the true merits of the articles ex
hibited in tbe Andienco Hall and Fine Art De
partment; and next week the appointments
and arrangements will znako Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday
THE MOST ATTRACTIVE DAXS OF THE FAIR,
and the anticipation is that the time will have
to be extended.
Bnt we must commence giving an account
of tho proceedings yesterday. The first stock
shown and adjudicated upon was Jacks and
Jennets. Mr. Fate of Decatur, took tho first
premium, $100, for the best and largest Jack.
Jennets were not shown.
Mr. O. H. Jones received the $100 premium

In the Hall there has been newly put into
operation the
PEaBODY cotton seed hulled,
which seperates the hull from the seed with
astonishing rapidity. A hopper, with9etof
knives, and a seperating wheel, constitute its
entire machinery.
On the grounds, there are quite a number of
Threshing Machines, but os yet none of them
have been set up, and put in motion.
GRAND PLOWING MATCH.
To-morrow, Saturday, there will be a grand
match between tbe Plows on exhibition. The
plowing will commence at nine o’clock in the
morning. The ground selected for the trial of
skill is the field lying between tbe Fair grounds
and Marietta Avenue.
In consideration of the foct that the test is
so near at hand, we must not forget to mention
what onr attention was called to this morning.
The
GLENN COMBINATION PLOW.
This plow has thirteen pieces, and forms itself
into general utility with an ease and effective-
ness said never yet to have been equalled.
- MACHINERY
in general, on the grounds, is fairly settling
under headway; and to-morrow will bring a
bustle and stir about Mechanic’s Hall and
other portions of the grounds not observed on
any preceeding day.
THE SANDWICH HHELLERH,
iu the care of Mr. Holton, are attracting some
attention. There are two of them, a large

Almost everybody passing through the hall
derated to art and generalities, stop at one of
tho tables and take a long look at the elegant
case of fino cutlery, and all manner of fancy
articles, from the house of onr enterprising
hardware dealers, Messrs. W. S. Woodworth
&Co.
These, we are assured, wero not 'secured
for this special occasion, but fairly repri-si ut
tho stock they keep ou hand.
For general elegance and superiority of
bi&nds, they can hardly be excelled; and os to
the manner of arrangement in the case, which
captivates so many, that all came from the in
genuity and good taste of Mr. W. S. Middle-
ton, who is connected with the establishment.

For Uie bat pair of males, open to tho world,
there were two entries. Mr. O. IL Jones of
Atlanta, and Ur. William Brewer of Boyle
county, Kentucky. The jndges after slight
hesitation gave the prize to Ur. Brewer. It
was stated that Ur. Jones' mules which were
very tine animals, had ja&t arrived from a long
railroad journey, and were not in condition.
For the best Georgia raised single mule
there were two entries. Ur. J. 0. Caldwell of
Polk county, and Ur. A. J. Walker of Spald
ing, who showed a very fino mnlo in harness.
The jndges appeared to go by size and strength
and awarded the prize, $25 to Ur. Caldwell,
who showed an immense block mole, one of
the largest wo oversaw.
A prize of $15 was awarded to F. T. Loftis,
of Milton county, fora fine mnlo 18 months

Mr. C. Taylor, of Uacon, Ur. J. J. Cloy, of
Houston county, Georgia, and Ur. S. F.
Salter, of Uacon. After a fino exhibition of
driving Ur. Collier and Mr. Taylor wero re
tired and the Jndges took the reins and
drove the three remaining pairs. Ur. Salter's
cream was next dispensed with, leaving Ur.
Scott and Ur. Clay tho sole competitors, and
alter a close examination the bine ribbon was
offered to the handsome pair of greys driven
by Ur. Clay. The announcement was re
ceived with some surprise, os it appeared evi
dent that excellent, as were tho Ur. Clay’s
horses, those of Mr. Scott were snperior in
many points, and after the Jndges had met
together it was fonnd that fonr of tho seven
judges had voted for Ur. Scott, and nndcr the
circumstances his horses wero again brought
into the ring and the bine ribbons offered to
them amid the cheers of the audience, the fact
that a previous decision was announced was
due to the fact that voting papers with me
names of the owners were used twice, and one

For class 5, Ur. John Faris entered a fine
sorrel filly which made her milo in 3:49.
For class 6, the some gentleman entered a

phy, grey gelding, Kennesaw. Ur. William
Brewer, a brown mare, aud Ur. J. W. Long,
Georgetown, Kentucky, a beautiful roan, 5
years old, named “BoanDick.” After a full
test, the prizo was given to Boan Hick; and
much admired as Mr. Murphy's grey was, the
deciaion was nmversally concurred in.
for the host cow, defeating iu tho contest Ur.
Peters and Ur. Sims of Kentucky.
Ur. Sims took tho premium for tho best
yearling heifer, and Ur. Ball the prizo for J. M.
year olds.
SEVENTH CLASS—OOADES.
In this class Mr. Peters again came
out top of tho heap, securing the
$50 premium for tho best boll, and
nearly succeeded in gettinga prize
of a like amonnt for tho best cow. Ur. O. H.
Jones, however, was a little too strong with
his fine animal which took tho premium. Ur.
Jones also took the $50 premium for tho best
milch cow, and Ur. B. Peters the second prize
in the some section.
WOOE OXEN AND EAT CATTLE.
The show to these classes was not large.
There were two yoko of oxen shown, a mag
nificent pair of Tennesseeans, exhibited by
Sparks and Tye, taking the premium. These
gentlemen also took the prizes for the best
fat steers and the best lot of steers. Ur. B.
Peters took tho prize for the best single fat
cow, and Ur. D. A. Beatie, of Atlanta, for tho
best stogie fat heifer.
This concluded the business of judging to
tho cattle department
The ground was then cleared for a
GAME OF ra*T.T.
between tho Goto City and tho Athens Uni
versity Club. Unfortunately, time did not al
low of the game being played out, and game
was called after tho 7th inning. As it was,
tho game was interesting, though it resulted
forar of tho Atlanta Club by a large major
ity. Mr. Walker, of tho University, was in
jured early in the game, and his place was tak
en by Mr. E. Angier. Mr. Robert Chisolm, of
the Olympian Club, of West Point, acted as
umpire, and Messrs. J. G. Serutchins and H.

The display of cattle was a very fine one,
in many departments it could hardly be ex
celled. The magnificent herd of Bramin oxen,
shown by B. Peters, excited universal admi
ration, us did the other stock shown by him.
In this section of Georgia there is none who
havo paid the same attention to raising pure
cattle that he has, and on this account, his
efforts have much benefitted our community.
DETONS.
Tho show in this clns* was smalL For the
best bull, Mr. Bonner of Sulphur Springs,
Georgia, took the premium, $50 for the best
bull, three years old and upwards.
There was a good show of Durhams, for the
best bull was awarded to Mr. A. B. Lath&in, of
Tennessee; Mr. E. L. Jones of Clayton Co.
Ga., taking the second premium. Dr. Van
mww of Bartow county showed a fine animal
in this class.
The contest for a $2ft plate for tho best two
year old Durham Bull, was exceeding close
between Mr. B. Sims of Kentucky and Mr.
G. Hazlehurst of Dade county. The judges
finally determined to give Mr. Sims the prize,
and recommended that a prize of equal value
should be awarded to Mr. HazelhursL
Mr. Sims received the first prize for the best
yearling bull, defeating Mr. B. F. Swanton of
Decatur, who competed for the same prize.
For the best Durham cow the premium $50
was a worded to Mr. B. Peters. For the best
heifer over two years old Mr. B. Sims, of
Carlisle, Kentucky, obtained the blue riband,
and the same gentleman was awarded tho
first premium for a yearling heifer.
The show of Aldemevs was rather small,
only four classes being entered for.
Mr. James Ormond, of Atlanta, received
prize $50 for the best bull, $15 for the best
yearling bull, $50 for the best cow, and Mr.
J. M. Ball $15 for the best yearling heifer.
BRAHMIN'S.
As we have before remarked the show of
Mr. Peters’ excited universal ad
miration. He took the two $50 premiums for
the best bull and cow with ease, indeed we
may say, there was no competition. In
the
SIXTH CLASS, ANY BREED,
there was of course considerable competition,
and tho show of animals was a grand one.
In the first section there were seven entries as
follows:
Mr. G. Hazlehurst of Macon, B. Peters of
Atlanta, B. Sims of Kentucky, A. B. Latham
of Ncwnan, J. W. Bonner of White Sulphur
Springs, Ga., J. W. Masey of Montgomery,
Ala., J. N. Van Meter of Bartow county, Ga.
The judges took a long time to decide the
knotty point as to which was the best of the
many animals of all breeds before them. Af
ter a cartful discussion and examination the
choice fell upon Mr. R. Peters, who took it
by Mrs. A. K Kagan of Kirkwood. Messrs.
C. Hughes & Son show a caso of vcry. elegant,
useful, gcnilemeh’s boots, of fine make and
finish. Foraa genuine wearing gentleman's

SEWING machines.
Of this now indispensible household appen-
dagewo havo several specimens on exhibition.
First as iu duty bound we must notice an
Atlanta invention by Mr. T. J. Harper, a
quiet unostentatious gentlemen who has a ma
chine invented and manufactured in this city,
it will do what but very few other machines
can accomplish. It can sow a button hole. We
it tested and feel satisfied that when a
machine is produced with a little better finish
it will become a favorite. The' machine ex
hibited was only taken from the shop on
Wednesday last, and is tho first of tho kind
manufactured. ' tU 1
Then wo havo a sample of tho American
Button Hole and General Machine. The
Singer has an elegant littlo stand erected, os
has also Wheeler and Wilson, tho Howe,
and the Ward. With all those elegant machines
to choose from, no housowifo need be without
one of the greatest helps to fomalo economy.
pictures, photographs, &c.
There are sorno works or attemps at art
principally in oil, under this head that should
have no place other than that of the family
room, and at the same time there are some
drawings and copies of excellent merit.

ited by Mr. Babel. It claims some important
points of superiority over all other machines,
and is an object of considerable attention.
Two wine and cider mills, tho
CHAMPION, AND AMERICAN,
are also included in his list Tho “champion"
is designed for manufactory uses on a large
scale, and the “American” more and better
adapted to the form or light fruit raisers.
There has been erected near the main Me

PATENT STANDARD SCALES.
The ones referred to, are the “Platform,” or
‘Stock Scales," and besides their accuracy, are
a specimen of as neat workmanship as can be
found anywhore. Thoy weigh accurately from
two pounds to fivo tons. They aro tho patent
of A. B. Davis, and are manufactured at
Philadelphia. During the day, a largo num
ber of gentlemen and ladies had their weight
corrected on thorn, by tho agent in charge.
That
Tho great event of tho day, in which the
thousands of the fair sex present took most in
terest in was
THE TOURNAMENT,
which was next in order. The knights arrived
on the grounds in a body, headed by the Vice
President of tho Society, Mr. M. E. Kenny.
They wero received with applause. The names
and characters personated were os follows:
Alexander, Knight from Oswitchee.
Archer, T., Knight of Spain.
Allen, James, Knight Bob Boy.
Acock, Knight of Euharleo.
GoUisa, Knight of 1776.
Conyers, James, Knight of Etowah.
Dobson, W. G., Knight William Wallace.
Hightower, J. W., Knight of the White
Gauntlet
Kenny, M. E., Knight of tho Bed Hand.
Kries, G., Knight Imperial Guard of France.
Lyons, T. J., Knight Bobert Aboo.
Lee, B. P., Knight Boy of the Period.
Magill, W. P., Knight White Feather, tho
Partisan.
M. McWhorter, Knight Bed Jacket, tho
Bockless.
Milledge, Knight of tho 19th Century.
McCarson, Knight Cherokee Chiefi
Nesbit, Knight of the Southern Cross.
Price, Knight of Clarke.
Bandoll, B. P. t Knight Hadibrns.
Styles, H., Knight of Caitersville.
Styles, B.. Knight of tho Bed Cap.
Walker, Knight Fiorone, the Bandit of Syra-
buxakll thrasher and separator
Westmoreland, Knight Black Princo.
Kirkland, Knight Lost Cause.
The costumes of Messrs. Archer, Allen,
Dobson and Leo were much admired.
Every one was enjoying the beautiful and
bright afternoon, the gay costumes of the
Knights, and their gaUant riding wero highly
appreciated, their successful runs being greeted
with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs by
the ladies. Nothing could have looked
brighter, moro animated or happy when this
was suddenly reversed by a fatal accident We
allude to tho terrible and instantaneous
DEATH OF MR. M. E. KENNY.
Each Knight riding three times the first
course had been ran, and the alphabetical list,
as above, had been gone through as far as his
name, when he was called to run his second
course. He wont through gallantly os ever.
His handsome green costume, emblem of
the land he loved, gleaming in tho
bright sun, he continued to run stead
ily rounded until he overtook tho knight
who had preceded him, Mr. J. W. Hightower,
and both horses being somewhat excited, the
horses began to run together, and their riders
catching tho spirit rode against each other ra
cing along the back stretch, Mr. Kenny being
on the outside. On approaching the turn an
effort was made by both gentlemen to stop tho
horses unsuccessfully, and to moke matters
worse they collided with a horse ridden by a
negro, who was thrown, and a moment after
Mr. Kenny’s horse was in contact with tho
fence, his rider being thrown violently for
ward, the fence being broken by the shock,
the iioree fell through, and fulling, rolled over
Mr. Kenny. Immediate medical assistance
was at hand but it was apparent to every ono
that the genial, worm, kind heart of Michael
E. Kenny had ceased to beat. His wife and
sister were on the ground and wero speedily
by his side, stricken with a grief too sacred to
be more than alluded to in these columns.
This sad event of course cast a gloom over the
entire assembly. The further progress of the
tournament was stopped, and the vast assem
blage struck with pity and grief and sadness,
slowly melted away.
The remains were placed on a mattress in a
wagon, and escorted by the entire body of tho
Knights exoept Mr. Hightower, who was too
severely (but not dangerously) injured by his
fall to ride, to his residence in the city.
His funeral takes place this afternoon from
the Catholic church.
Turning from this melancholy affair we will
give our readers our promised description of
the remaining portion of
THE ABT GALLEBY,
Immediately opposite which is a very elegant
Etage, ornamented with leather work, by Mrs.
L. N. Brown, of Marietta. Force’s shoe case
continues to be a point of attraction, and close
beside it are exhibited some elegant specimens
faithful. Ono or two very exquisfto photo
graphs were exhibited by Miss Baol of Mont
gomery, Ala., and some very excellent pie
tures from Mr. Motes of Athens, and
Messrs. Kuhn and Smith of Atlanta. The
collection of the latter gentlemen being
remarkable for their boanty of execution.
Mr. Churchill exhibited some neat
efforts at colored photographs, some
of which wero faithful and life-like. In oil
paintings, tho most conspicuous and the best
collection ia that of Miss Callio Sonowski,
Athens, Ga. “The Valloy of Chamouni” and
a “Stiff Breeze” being very excellent copies.
A young lady of Kirkwood has also some good
pictures on exhibition. The gems, however,
in the fino art department wero two pen and
ink sketches by Mr. Max V. D. Corput, of
Wenceslans, Goebergcr and Dr. Michel and
the Dragon. Every ono who had any ta3te
for such work mnst admire these pictures.
Some portraits by Dell and Maur wero on ex
hibition and had their admirers.
THE MUSIC.
The prizes for piano playing were awarded
yesterday, and we much regret that wo wore
absent The multifarious duties a reporter
has to attend to in the Fair Grounds, is oar
only excuse.
The first prize was awarded to Miss Anuio
C. Cox, of LaGrange, and tho socond prize to
Mi83 Keiner, also of LaGmnge.
A diploma was awarded to Master A. Ech-
berg. of Atlanta.
KNABE AND CO*B., PIANO’S.
The above young ladies and a host of other
good judges of music and musical instruments
were loud in their praises of these pianos.
Their durability equals Broadwood, and their
delicate touch Colfard and Collard, orErard.
In fine these instruments have mode them
selves a local habitation.and a name, especial
ly in tho South, and being built for a Sothorn
trade, particularly and peculiarly we recom
mend them, from practical experience, to our
readers. This by no means closes our notico
of the art department, but we shall havo to
refer to it in future days.
AMONG THE MACHINERY.
An unusually large number of people visited
the halls devoted to machinery, etc., at on
early hour in the forenoon'; and during the
day, until tho lengthening shadows betokened
the near approach of night, these depart
ments 8warmed with attentive observers and
busy exhibitors,
Some new attraction comes upon the
grounds almost every day. This may bo ac
corded to the fact that many articles entered
in good time, either through railroad delay, or
some mistake outside of transportation, have
been kept from the Fair Grounds, and exclu
ded thereby for three or four days from ob
servation.
But, shape and order begins to appear
among all the different branches of this de
partment, and from this time forward our part
of the Fair will be counted a decided success.
Among the little inventions that have im
portance attached to them, is the
DIAMOND HOMMONY MILL.
Adjustable, and turning with crank, it becomes
a handy, as well as useful piece of utility on
the form, or in tho family. It is on exhibi
tion by Messra. Glenn & Wright, of this city.
From the
IRON WORKS
at Macon, Georgia, there are two models of
cotton presses. Like all models they work
well, and we have no doubt there is merit in
them. They ore on exhibition by Mr. T. C.
Nesbit
ECLIPSE CORN S HELLER,
an adjustable pieoe of machinery, that lays
to some merit and no doubt for a shol-
ler of its size, performs wonders in clearing
off the cob. It was inventedby G. W. Stock-
ins, Atlanta.
There is hero the model of another cotton
press,
THE DIXIE.
But as littlo can be told from models alone,
no one stands committed further than a be
lief that tho invention is a good one. Tbs
patent is by Charles A. Colwell, Concord,
North Carolina. *•-. ••
DIXON COTTON SWEEP, (
Manufactured by J. T. Martin, Sparta, Ga., is
a beautifully shaped and neatly wrought imple
ment It is manufactured from wrought iron,
rmd has three welds. The maker of the one
on exhibition is a colored man. -The advan
tages claimed for it is, that it keeps tho ground
level, and cuts the grass. At tho Macon Fair
a premium was awarded to it
Another sweep on exhibition is the
TTTrtrrmrr.T^
Manufactured by W. S. Hemphill, Athens,
Ga., for which many claim superior merit
: r. HACKLING CORN SHUCKS
Is on exhibition on tho grounds, and is re
garded as a good thing by those who look at
it. Tho inannfactors fully set forth the im
portanco of its uso r in voluo of corn shucks
rlien prepared for the different uses they can
bo put to; and -claim that tho machine, with
two men to work it, will hackle ono thousand
pounds of shacks in a day. It can be run by
hand or steam power. It is cn exhibition by
(.’ole A S.)ii, Nashville.
Geo. S. Bubel, Chattanooga, Tennessee, has
ou <-xiii’oiti>'ii the celebrated
BLANCHARD CHURN.
It works by crank, has no wheel attachments,
and tho entire machine is manufactured from
wood.
In his collection is, also the
BONE DISINTEGRATOR
has been in full blast for the last two days, and
is beginning to open tho eyes of a great many,
as to the importance of ono of these machines
in every eountry town,at least, on the grounds
that it will not bo long until farmers will take
care of all tho bones that accumulate, to bo
used os on earth strengthener; and they will
bo taken to these machines and ground up, tho
same as the wheat and corn from the farm is
packed into a wagon and taken to milk The
bones are ground to any degree of finoness re
quired.
Not the least feature of interest among oth
er things is tho
PATENT EVAPORATOR,
“Defecator and Filterer,” by which is made
both sugar and syrup, from tho sugar cane.
The specimens of sugar shown, aro very fair
articles, tho sugar having a grain not unlike
what is known as the Island Sugar. The
syrup was very fair, and in appearance resem
bled the “golden.” This apperatus is on ex
hibition by Messrs. Glenn & Wright, of this
city. Thoro is
ONE MORE
On the grounds, which claims to bo an “evap
orating, filtering, separating, and granula
ting” machine combined. The separator
dries sugar, ready for tho barroll. in one min
ute’s time, and makes about three hundred
evolutions to the minute.
In the Hall, there is a working model of
A LATH MILL,
put on exhibition by Dr. O. S. Bently, of At
lanta. It is busily engaged in cutting out
small laths, showing how perfectly the ma
chine, in full size, will work. They say it will
turn out from sixty to seventy-five thousand
shingles a day. It is adapted to power or
hand use. Charles Learned is the patonteo.
Close by this, has recently boenput in oper
ation, a remarkably neat, and well working
PA RATING MACHINE.
HAND LOOM.
An excellent quality of jeans was being woven
daring the day. There wero several specimens
of its work on exhibition, all of which wero
creditable to the loom. It is manufactured at
McMinnville, Tenn., and is on exhibition by
Dr. Bently.
The gentleman in charge of the above, had
with him several samples of
SPANISH MERINO WOOL,
from Bledsoe county, Cumberland Mountains,
Tenn. Tho growth is from tho flock of Mr.
G L. Kellogg, who has a large number of the
shoep.
The Doctor also had two or three patent
BEE HIVES,
for which he claimes superiority over the
many that are exhibited on the grounds.
And, os a finale to his list, wo have two
WATER WHEELS,
one “Double Scroll,” and the other “Single."
For these, are claimed several new and ex
cellent points.
We saw
STRAUB’S CORN MUX
at work during the afternoon. It was not
long in attracting a large crowd of spectators,
and tho result was satisfactory in the extreme.
The “meal” produced, was examined by many
experienced men in such matters, and pro
nounced unequalled by any yet seen.
Tho Portable Engino,
METROPOLITAN,
ou exhibition, and running tho machinery in
one of the halls, is performing its work ele
gantly, and wins golden opinions everyday.
It is from William E. Tanner & Co., Rich
mond, Ya.
At about ten o'clock in tho forenoon tho
Committee on Plows, repaired to the field as
signed to the work, and soon commenced
the
GRAND PLOWING MATCH.
At noon, the following parties had plows aud
other implements on the ground, awaiting
their turn to show what they could do:
