The second heat was won by Little
Mack; time 2.351. Basil Duke was
second and John Chambers third.
In the third heat John Chambers shot
ahead of his competitors and maintained
his prestige in three straight heats, win-
dred yards Mr. Boanlman ’ spurted and
passed nnder the line nearly a boat’s
engtli and a half’s ahead. The time not
being taken. . . , s ■
, Theseoind race was between the four-
oared crews of the Forest City Club of
Savannah, and the Empire Club of this
city, and took pla :e a little after four in
the afternoon. The names of the gentle
men have been given in a former issne.
Owing to a foul which occurred during
the race, we are unable to say, at pres
ent, what was the result; but wo will
give the testimony of the contesting par
ties and the rules of the association, and
the public can judge for themselves.
The starting judges agree that there was
a fair start. The terminal • judges agree
that the Macon boat arrived at the string
ahead of the Savannah boat. Mr.
Titeomb, of, the Savannah orew, stated
that he had the choice, of position,
and took the side nearest the city. After
rowing about a quarter he found that he
was far enough ahead'of' the Macon boat
to take thin water by running in front of
them arid .keeping bn the east side oi tho
river. The Macon boat iri trying to re
gain their water ran into the Savannah
boat, both boats being on the east side of
the river. Mr. Boanlman, of the Macon
crew, stated that he started on the east
side of the river and on arriving at
Woods’ factory, the Savannah boat had
gained enough to ram ahead of the Macon
boat and he seeing that, the distance
could not be recovered until the sliding
sent of Mr., Conner, which was off the
runjjers, was replaced, caused the crew to
stop pulling until he fixed it. When
this was accomplished, he glanced around
and saw the Savaimah boat some
two clean lengths ahead and in | his
water, He then called to the crew to
]>ull t hard,, it being his intention
to run] tbe Savannah crew put of 1 his
water, The foul occurred just abovei the
city, bridge, and as the lo ts struck he
claimed the foul in liis favor, and was
responded to by Mr. Schley,, saying, “ dl'
right.” Mr. Titeomb stated that the
Savannah crew, led by fifty yards, yet
could not avoid the. foul. Ml Schley
stated that wheri he saw the Macon crew
stop he slackdd up, so as not to wind his
crew. The ground taken by the MacLn
crew is that the foul occurred in their
water, and was caused by tiie Savannah
boat being there. The Savannah cjrew
maintain that they had a right to t t;ie
water, as they had run in ahead of jthe
Macon crew. The rules of the associa
tion, on. which hangs the question, are
these*: '■ -- . " *' .
Section 7. Every boat shall keep it3
own water from tiie start, but any boat
which rimy obtain the lead of another
may take‘the* other boats’ water at its
own peril, and if a f ul occurs the tre3"
passing boat shall be decided to bjave
caused the foul.
Section 10. A boat’s own water shall bo
construed to mean a dire tline, conform
ing to the bends of the river between the
termini. •
Section 11. Any ’boat decided to have
caused a foul shall be declared distanced.
The race was a very animated one, and
the last heat was run after dark. ,
THE EACES ON MONDAY. ‘
Oa Monday, there will be a .mile beat
race, best three in five, for running horses,
open to the world. In this race there
are four entries which will make ‘it a
very interesting race. Gen. Harding and
Maj. Bacon’s stables will contend. 1 j
This race will be followed by a mile
heat race for three years .olds, in which
the Bartow county Jack Malone filly will
contest with her Tennessee sister, i
The day’s racing will close witu a mule
race, mile heats, in which there are a
number of entries. . !
The first race will be called at three
o’clock precisely, and the others will fol
low in close succession. t
THE PINE AET3. ,_i
In the Fine Art department there is one
very admirable piece of work which we
failed to observe until yesterday. • It is a
picture in tapestry of the surrender of
Mary Queen of Scott j, by Sirs. Bogdre,
of this city. It is a very excellent piece of
work,displays au exquisite handling of co.-
or and a fine artidea. The work was done
some years ago; but it retains all of its
freshness of color and is probably as
bright to-day as eve.- it wasJ
Tnere is in tins same department a
large number of : paintings and crayons,
exhibited by Prc . Stephens, as the Work
of the pupim oi e e Institute, Baleigfi,
N; C. Tnere arc many good paintings
in the collection;, bnt tue crayons are es
pecially good. Prof. Stephens has cbme
a long way with this contribution to tue
State Fair, and we hope the peopie jwill
ev nee a due a^p o’, tion of it. 1 1 j '
No premiums na/e yet been awarded
iri the Fine Art Department, the- com
mittee not' having completed its work.
PRESERVED FBUITS, ETC. i
If,there is one feature , in .which [the
Fair excelled above all others, it is injthe
matter of ' preserved fruits, jellies, cor
dials, pickLes etc. NO such displays Were
ever seen-before in tiie country esiubited
as the products of home industry. Ev
ery kind -of fruit that could be obtjun-
any where was there, all, done up in most
excellent style. > ■ < * [ ’■
One of the best exhibitors in this lriie is
Mrs. W. F. Anderson, of Vineville. Her
display was the subject |i. : u+7 general
compliment' by all who entered Prem
ium Hall- , She had an immense number
of- jars on exhibition, all cf which gay®
evidence of great care and skill in thier
preparation. 1 Sue exhibited more large
jars than any other lady on the ground,
Mrs; W. G. -White, of this city, exhib
it* 1 315 varieties of fruits and vegeta
bles. • There was no two jars of the same
kind in her > exhibition. She appeaiy to

A Gala Day at c'entral City Park,
There Was a much larger crowd at the

visitors was wen up in the .tho usuries,
and tue day was one of the nveiiesf. of

Mrs. T. B. Gresham, of Macon, also ex
hibits a vast number of packages; cover

ladies find in her a close competitor, t
It is wonderful to think of what, an
amount of industry and patience these
ladies must have exercised in preparing
such .an amount pf * fruits lor, exhibition.
The work must necessarily have been
done by their own hands, and during the
hot months of July and August, when it
is a matter of jsome trouble to be able to
keep cool witnout sweltering over a
kitchen fire in the preparation of these
things. . Too much praise cannot bo
awarded these ladies for their contribu
tions to the department of home indus

Joe Clayton, a colored man, exhibited
several jars' of preserved melon rihd,
which we regarded as one of the curiosi
ties ofi the Fair. Joe had carved thSse
rinds in a .most ingenious manner, repre
senting upon some of them very clever
likelinesses of well known gentlemen,
most of, which were readily recognized.
In one jar he had had a representation of
p, whole trdupe of negro minstrels,.inclu
ding “Happy Cal Wagner.” Joe got a
premium on his preserves as he deserved
to have. .- . » , ;

Horrible Outrages lu Louisiana. •

slaughtering was about the only thing
now. taking place. This dearth of trade,
it is thought, will continue until it can
be definitely ascertained that the difficul
ties will be overcome..In this event bus
iness will take a fresh start immediately.
.On inquiry to-day at th- freight offices
of leading railroads, it was ascertained,
that their freight business was suffering
severely, from the financial disturbance,
and: that in-many cases: railroad compa
nies were largely cutting down expenses
by the reduction of wages and the'dis- 1
charge of workmen.
A visit to the offioes of the different
ocean steamship lines proved that the
export trade was never in a better condi
tion than it is at present. Almost all
the steamers leaving port to-day j are
loAddd to their utmost Capacity; ,and
rates were; never, as a general rule,
higher , than now. The import trade has
fapen away to almost nothing, arid
steamers arriving here are often but half
full. This ' falling off' is especially| no
ticeable in tk§ amount of diy goods.im
ported. The abqve refers to the trade
with .Europe. Trade between this city
and 'Havana has aliriost been killed by
the existing monetary stringency. The
people in Havana are .buying nothing
but the merest necessaries of life. The
n-ice of sugar in. Havana is lower than
its* actual ’value, and holders refuse to
sell. Consequently there is nothing for
steamers or sailing vessels;; ••')! , r -

kindly -towards me keen us he has be
friended me. He,feels sorter like 1 was
One Of his pet'lams. When li8 reads
over the parable of' the good Samaritan
he unkpnsoipusly says to himself “ that s
me. . I helped Arp and his luvly off
spring when nobody else wouldent.” i I
think it would be 1 a good thing if evryi
bod^ owd one another all round. It im
proves the tone of society- It enlarges
tne heart and has a good effekt on tne
liver. It settles' ones dinner, and hnpee
Mr.' Solomon Writ about 1 bowels of mercy
and-bowels of l compassion. I neyer
knowed one of these corked-up 1 cash men
but what was , dispeptikil. I neyer
knowed a man wnojpaid cash for tf
thing who had. any cash to lend a ]
feller withodt sekprity. A cAsh man is di
al ways an independent man, and you can't
joke with him to do any good. I don't
like them sort much, 'l’uey think thleir
money is a little, better than' anybqdy
else3 money. They live at home add
board at'the same plane, but the 1 latch
string don’t hang oh the outside much.
They don't want anybody to borrer tui-ir
wheei-bai'rer nor get water' oat of their
well. Still I suppose they are tryin to do
the very best tiiey can.
I like, a man who> can’t refuse a poor
feller credit when he nqeds it and is tryin
to pay. Jn fakt its .better to credit mm
and' lose it than to be dodgin round the
truth to keep from it or to die from osaifi-
kashim of tue heart audpek rocks in the
next worjd for a, livin. I knowd a poor
shpemaker oust ,to ax a storekeeper jto
trust bim for a pair of shoe pinchers.
The storekeeper told him he would do'so
but that he didept' have a pair in the
house. The, poor fellow lqokd arouiid
sadly .and hapend to seb em upon the
top shelf, with ohe pair outsipe the rap
per.' “ Why, there’s sum, Mr. Mack,”
says he, - Mack wilted for a moment; but
he rallied -and says, “ them up there,axe
steel pinchers andi,are Worth just two dol
lars and a half.” * Joe knowd they was
iron and Was worth 37] cents, but he iner-
Bently remarked that he had never had) a
steel pair and he believd he would try em.
Mack always declared them, pinchers was
mity well sold I ho he never got the moajy.
I tinok liowevei* that every man ort to do
the very best he can. 1 ! •■;
. But of all times in ■ the world I look
‘upon the 'credit system, as just the thing
for a panik—not that the panik is any-
-thing pertakler to me. r By ho means.
I’ve -been right in the midtlle' of one all
my life. I’ve never seed tbe time that
there waaent a crisis at my house. I was
born in a strain, and, its, follered me hp
like a shkdder ever since. I’ve got akkji-
matedtoit, asthedoktoresay.' It’s part
of'my-daily entertainment to contrive for
luturq supplies. It keeps me lively aid
polite and, anuable. - I hear these mer-'
coants ; tawkin about “bridgin over” and
hedgih in” afid diggin a hole to-day to
be filled up to-morrow.! Well, eTery man
and woman in these times - ort to do the
very best ho or she can, but as for beugiin
and bridgin I could hav got a patent
right for all thaif sort of bisness 20 yealrs
ago, and had it renewed for improvemehts
every year since. No-sur, I’ve no idea of
jinin the cash system at my time of lile,
and espeshually, just at this p<>rtikler
period. My constitution wouldent staid
it. It’s goin to: be jest all that a feller
can do to git through, this squeeze on a
credit, and as. for me L would perish to
deth in two days if my existence depended
on the 'cash. It’s goin to take a dubble
team to' pull through' this mud hole,
shore, and right smart pushin behind.
We’ve all got the .breechin' on. at my
house, and we’ll go through if the hame
string 1 don’t break and the dumed thing
don’t last too long. One off these long-
winded panik*, would strain toy credit
system, powerfully, hut everybody must
do the very best he, she er it can and
trust to Providence for the sequel. - i
Mp. Nevin,' sur—»Now is the' time < for
foaks to show what metal tiiey are made
of. Row. is the time for foaks to hold up -
their heds and hav confidence. If every
body who has got a surplus will lend it to
them - Who hasent (one of‘whom l a^il
which) things will git pquahsed and regh-
Jated in no time. There is a plenty of
money and plenty of truck for everybody
if it was divided out right I've always
managed to git my sheer, though at-times
it’s required more strategy to keep the
little Arp* in vittels and cloaths than
Bonypaxt displayed in his retreat from
Moscow. I tell you what’s a solemn falft,
a whole passel of children of all sices,
from a saddle took up, will sharpen a
poor man’s wits quicker than anything in
the world—espeshually if, the qld hen
keeps up a respektable cacklin in the
rear. “Keep a movin, (fid: man;-’ say*
she, “keep a movin and never say die.
Bull run’s shoes are out at the toes,
Chikahomipy hasent got a whole. coat to
hi* back, and you know he's beginnih Ao
notice the girls a little, and want* to go
can make up a respoctabul Ting and play
hos at home if we want to, and Mrs. Arp
and the girls can set around, and holler,
Whoopee. At any rate we qre bound to do
the very best we can. • ’
1**8 every man’s duty these times tb be
keerful and prudent. Paradise wasent
made for fools. I went a chesnut huntin
one day with a feller, and he got out on
A limb and cut it off betwixt him and the
t ee. He broke hi* aim, and had like to
have broke his neck. I heard a poor car
penter say yesterday that he’d be doged
iris cats if he wouldn’t lay down and die
before he’d work for less than two,dol
lars a day, panik or no panik. I .don’t
feel responsible for no sich. They may
go to Heaven in their ownbilloon, if they
want to. Me find Josh Billiim was a
loookin at the Graffik billoen the other
day, and after it was gone! he
.heaved a sigh and, says he, “Arp, I
don’t like billoons. About 18 year ago I
tuk around a hat to raise 75 dollars to
hire a feller to go up in one, and he went
up as straight a* an arrow. It was a
calm, still day in Juno, and I gazed at
him and saw, him go up, up, untell he
went clean oat of, sight. Nobody has
ever seed that billoon or that man from
that day to this, and my hope is that he
wentded strait to heven; tho I aint a
warrantin that line to nobody at this
time.” Well, I don’t like em either,; but
I will advise them who aspires to go that
wav to heven to do ,the very best they
can.
irostly, Mr, Nevin, I want to remark
that these paniks, these pollapses, these
bust up*, these “top not* cum down,’’ are
just as necessary for the good of the coun
try as an emetik is to an overcharged
stummak. Munny to be heltby murt be
skatterd around so that eviyboly can git
sum. When its most all piled up in a
few pyramids the least jostle will tumble
it to tae ground. If I was King I'L fix
a remedy for bloated fortune* mity quick.
I’d tax a man nothin on an incum bf 5
thoiisan dollars an-1 under. I’d tat 10
per ct. on all between 5 and 10 thousan.
Twenty per ct. on ail between 10 an-1 20
thousan, and so on doublin up to 50 tiiou-
san. Above that I’d take it all, evry dol
lar. I toll yoh that will git em. That
will keep, down these Wall st. rings, t It -
will let a map hav enuf for all decent
and. respectable purposes, and after that
he must do his sheer for them who swet
and toil and havent been as smart or as
T-|..pn or os lucky a* himself. It will,.put
a limit upon a mans avarice and keep
mminy in better employment than pay in
$50,000 for a horse or loO thousand for a
diamond pin. Wnen this law is passed,
Mr. Nevin, our family supplies will be so
cheap that the like* of me and you and
Qar wives and children can frolik hale oar
time. I think, your tother leg wp'ild grow
out and the hair cum back on the top of
my head, the place where the hair oft to
grow. .' •
Until that galorious time let us all do
the veiy best we can. .
Yours, . , Bill Arp. .

Criminal Imposition.—A bad hill substituted
for a' good one i* simply a loss to the pocket of the
taker; but a poisonous slop substituted for a life
sustaining medicine imperils tho health oi those
who imbibe it; and the man who concocts, or
sells, or recommends suca an article is a eriiifuial
impostor, and * deserves to be visited' with a
heavier penalty,than if he had counterfeited gold
pieces or forged bank bills. Many vile, unwhole
some potions now being offered for sale in various
parts of the country as ‘ tonics” and "restbm*
' tives,” ore recommended by their dishonest pro
prietors and venders as superior to the famous
national specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
■'Desperate attempts are made tb thrust these per
nicious compounds into the hands and down the
throats of life-long patrons of the great vegetable
stimulant and stomachic; and although these
conspiracies against health and life very rarely
succeed, it nevertheless-seems to be a duty occa
sionally to warn, the credulous against them.
Hostetter’s Bitters, the unequaled remedy , for
casual indigestion, confirmed dyspepsia, bilious
ness, liver complaint, malarious fevers, constipa
tion; constitutional weakness, and the functional
derangement of the weaker , set, 'has for twenty
years stood at the. head of all medicines of its
class—«o far above thepi as to render competition
futile. It has not yet reached the meridian of its
popularity, its sale bring huger now than at'any
period since its introduction. Its utility a» a pre
ventive of disorders engendered by an insalubri
ous atmosphere or unwholesome water, is admit
ted by' physicians practicing in unhealthy dis
tricts, and it is recommended as a stimulant by
many nractionere who will not take the responsi
bility of prescribing the adulterated liquors of
oonvajerce. ■ ' ~ _ _
