The Aiiffimta Fair.
The Third Annual Exhibition of the Cotton
State. Fur Association, opened last week in Au
gtuta, on Tuesday, and continued the balance of
the week. The inclemency of the weather the two
first dsys of the Exhibition, operated considerably
•gainst the Association, and only a few visitors
were on the gronds daring either of these days.—
The Exhibition, we believe, was generally conce
ded to be far inferior to that of last year; the
entries smaller, and less enterest manifested in
the enterprise than usual by the citizens of
Augusta.
ylohal FT AM..
presented quite an attractive appearance in the
display of fuicy work l>y hand, crochet and em
broidojy, wax and shell work, flue arts, architect
ural drawings, sewing machines, pianos, fruits
vegetables, Ac. Among the flne arts, we noticed
several landscape scenes painted iu oil colors,
by Miss Anna Battle, of Warren county. They
were very beautiful,and were much aduiirod. In the
INDCHTMiL HAM,
we saw some very fine buggies, on exhibition by
It. H. May A Cos, elegant carpets, by James G.
Bailie A Bro., celebrated cooking stoves, by
Messrs. Goodrich A Cos., extra fine flonr and meal
by Jno. M. Clark A Cos., and many other articles
worthy of mention.
The department of
MACHINERY
was not well represented. Kahnevelior's cotton
seed huller, and Avcling A Porter's road traction
engine, attracted some attention. The cotton
seed huller is a good invention, and will hull from
eighteen to twenty bushels of cottonseed per hour.
The roadtraction engine neither possesses great
speed nor power, and is doubtless unfit to
erar be brought into use on our common roads.
On Wednesday a respectable crowd was on the
grounds to witness the
TOURNAMENT CONTEST,
Iwtween the Augusts Babre Club and the McDuffie
Hussars, of this place. The cavalry company, of
Columbia oouniy, was also present, but took no
part in the day's oxeroiso, except Dr. Shockley,
who rode individually. The prize offered by the
Association for Club Coutest, was asilvwr pitcher,
goblet sad bowl; and for the successful la.ights,
first prize, a gold chain; second prize, a gold
ring with oamco head of General Leo ; third prize,
an English saddle, and the fourth prize waH a fine

contest with only ten day’s practice, against a Vfnb
of four year's existence, their tilting was rumtrku.
My good. Only eight, members from each Club om
teatad for the Club prize. Messrs. A. H. Sturgis
W. 0. Harrison, Dr. K. 8. Harrison, James A’
Hamilton, J. H. Casey, L. S. Wilkcrsou, B. M'
Eran.. and R. W. Ramsay, of the McDnffiics, rode
in the contest. Mr. B, r. Martin rode individually.
The Augusta Club winning the prizes, and hav.
ingthe right to crown the Queeu „( Love and
Beauty and Maids of Honor, ranmauimously
transferred that right-most nobly won- to ti lu
McDuffie boys.

Manificent Display of Dry Goods at
JAMES A. GRAY & CO’S.,
104 &. 1941 DROAU STREET, A«f<*UST4, «A.
Beg to inform their friends, and the public, that they are now receiving the
largest and most complete assortment of
ever brought to this market.
With an experience of twenty eight years, caterring for the States of Georgia
and South Carolinnn, and with ample means to make all out purchases for cash,
and with splendid rooms, and light to display our Magnificent Stock, having
four floors, forty-one feet wide and one hundred and twentyWe feet deep, as
clear and light as day in all parts.
We feel perfectly confident in assuring our friends, and iheWblic generally,
that we will guarantee all goods leaving our house to be of the \Aty best quality,
and we further guarantee them to be as cheap as can be purchased' a t any res
pectable House in New York Getting accustomed to our new and splendid
Lead quarters, and appreciating the same, we venture the assertion that we have
the most magnificent display of Dry Goods ever seeu in Georgia sines the forma
tion of the State.
It requires little reasoning that the greater the sales, the smaller the profits.
Five per cent, on a million is better than forty per ceut, on a hundred
thousand.
We aim at a Million sales annually, we venture the prediction that the buis
ness, will follow.
We request the closest scrutiny of our goods, and prices fearing not the com
petition of the world.
I ,We will show our goods and will send samples free of charge by Mail.

THE RACER.
A purse of SSO wa» offered for the fastest horse,
half mile dash, best two in three,—no regular ra
cers allowed to enter.
W. O. Harrison, of this county, entered gray
mare, Fleta; J. T. Lanadell, bay horse, Wild Irish
man ; I>. 8. Wilkeraon, sorrel horse, Dexter; J.
M. Harries, of Augusta, hlaclt horse; C. A.
Fleming, bay horse, Glasseye : and George 0
Dugas, Black Diamond.
The first heat was won by Fleta, 2nd Black Dia
mond, 3d Glasseye. Second beat vas also won by
Fleta, Dexter 2d, and Glasseye fid.
In the sabre contest, the Augusta boys, as was
expected, were again winners, and bore away the
prizes offered. On Saturday, the last day of the
Fair, a purse of $ 1IK) was offered for the fastest
trotting horse, and Ohara, the grant pedestrian
gave an exhibiton ot his walking powers. He
walked six miles in fifty-nine minutes.
The McDuffie and Columbia boys were shown
every hospitality by the Augusta people, who w- j
knowledges! that without their assistance the Fair
i would have been a failure.
Our report of the week’s doings would be in
complete were we not to mention the splendid
THEATRICAL TROUPE
of Mrs. D. P. Bowers’, at the Girardy Opera
House, during the Fair. Mrs. Bowers' fame is
world wide as the great American Tragedienne,
and wherever she gf«s she is always greeted with
large and brilliant audienoes. Her performance
opened at the Opeta House on Tuesday night, in
the pluy of “Lady Audly’s Secret,” and from the
first to the last same she held the audience spell
bound, and olicitsd from them the warmest ap
plause. On Wednesday night she appeared in the !
groat historic play of “Queen Elizabeth,” and she
was equal to her first night in the display of her
fine powers Thursday night, in "Mary Stewart,'-
she remained the some favorite, and melted her
audience in tears.
Friday night and Saturday night,in “The Lady of
Lyons," and “Mcbotli.” Every seat was filled in
the bouso, and while we did not hear her cither of
these nights, w« learu thut she was greatly admi
red and was constantly greeted with rapturous ap
plauso. Mrs. Bowers is decidedly the best actress
we have ever seen, and many who listened to her
each night during her stay in Augusta, pronounc
ed her tho greatest tragedienne ou the American
stage; even exceeding in versatility of powers the
famed Janauschck.

Rome confusion hot been created among the vo
ters of our State by tho publication of a telegram
from H. W. Slocum, to Col. Hardeman, relative to
the manner of voting nt our next eloction. The fol
lowing will, we think, settle the question :
LaGranoe, Ga., October 22, 1872.
Gen. H. W. Slocum, Chairman Congressional
Democratic Committee:
Does tho law require the votes for Electors and
for members of Congress to be printed on sepa
rate pieces of paper? H. V. Miller.
To which he received the following reply :
Washington, I). C., Ootohor 28, 1K72.
11. V. Miller : —There is no law requiring sepa
rate tickets. H. W. Slocum.
In addition to this direct information, wo take
the following item from tho Atlanta Son :
There is no change whatever in the manner of
voting. Let all prepare aim east tneir votes as
UerToforo,
| We are Hurry to soe so little intem-t’ manifested
>by our citizens in tho approaching election. If
:yon are indite rent as to tho Presidential election,
IjtJU are certainly not blind to the great importance
of electing good and true men to represent us in
Congress. Remember that the election will bo
held on Tuesday noxt, November 5.
