THE EXCELLENT RACING
OF THE DAY-PREMI
UMS AWARDED TO
STOCK-WINNERS
ON THE TRACK.
Yesterday the clouds broke and the
sun burst in all beauty and brightness
upon the fair. It made ererybody hap.
py and the grounds were crowded all day.
It looked like a carnival. The schools
emptied themselves into the halls and
the grand stand was crowded long be.
-fore the hour of the races, to view tho
entries in the cattle ring, which were
shown in front of the judge's stand.
'The streets were crowded from an early
hour, and the string of people and vehi
sties to and from the grounds made al
most a continuous procession all day
long.
Visitors to the hall yesterday morning
found new entries everywhere, Thehsll
was filled up on all sides, and new tick
ets of exhibits were issued by the secre
taries up to noon yesterday. Every,
thing was in position and everybody was
in good spirits. Visiters thronged the
hall from an early hour and the passage
ways about some of the more popular die
plays were continually blocked. The
committee on awards moved cautiously
among the competing articles, while the
prying reporters wore vainly trying to
catch all the Mi"** "uLdake. in. ail the
merits at ance. Even the horse in-n for
awhile made lingoring tours through
the halls. Such scenes are seldom seen
in Northeast Georgia, and the fair is in
every way a striking and a sure success.
Below will be found pencil notes from
our reporters books:

pieced on exhibition, beaides quite an
elaborate bed built—all aince .her house
was burned.
Mrs. J. H. Fleming's exhibit deserves
s great deal of notice. She did Dot make
any preparation* until Tuesday at 11
o'clock, but has one of the best displays
of art, including some beautiful punted
chine. We are informed that she haa
taken very few lessons,but they seem al
most, if not quite ss pretty as the im
ported ware. This Isdrs embroideries
are handsome, and she has knitted and
crocheted work displayed with greet
tiste.
We left before Mrs. F. Lucas bad ar
ranged her large and beautiful collection
of preserres, jellies and other domestic
articles. She has though, exquisite em
broideries and a variety of articiea done
with the needle, with which implement
she excels.
Mias Msggia Morion has an elegant
brass easel, on which is a lovely picture
of Marchal Neil r.ses, beautifully print
ed; she haa also an exquisite figure
painting, and one of the handsomest
brass fire screenss framed in plush with
a panel of ground glass, decorated with
birds. This young lady has beautiful
taste, and her work displays much talent.
Miss Tillie Morton, although her spe
cialty is embroidery, it not behind in
painting, and has several works, among
which is a very delicate and decorative
panel of apple blossoms, narcissus in red
plush, etc. Miss Tillie, we are inform
ed got $15 in premiums at the State Fair,
in Macon, and she haa these same piece!
on exhibition. Everyone should see
them.
Miss Csltie SosnoWski's exhibit, al
though not as large as last year, is none
the lossodmired. Her CountessPotolsska
on a placqne in china,' is unusually fine,
as is also s study of brush foses and
white lilacs ia a copper bronxe frame.
Wo notice a very lovely and graceful
ground glass panel of lilacs, done by
Miss Ms Hchaller snd a very fino minis-
tur> printing.
There is also a very pretty tambourine
of bra«s by Mies McKntire.
Miss 8osnowski is too well known both
as s teacher and artist to enlarge further
on her collection.

ART NOTES—WnATTHE LADIES ARE DOIHO.
Mrs. Dr. Wade has one of the most in
teresting curiosities in the shape of* pic-
turn a hundred yeara old. It is embtoi-
dered in very-fine spool rilke, and repre
sents a landscape and aerenl figures.
The faces are ell painted, and altogether
it la very remarkable.
There are several very clever pictures
by two little girls, whose names we 'lid
not icarn, aged 8 and 13 yeara, which

Hugh Taylor, Mrs Sandy Rucker end
Mrs George C Thomas.
Among tho most admired of ell the
pictures, are those dene by Miss Comer,
who seems to have s very’ dainty touch
with her brush. Her large study of mag
nolias snd water lilies, also red and pink
roses, hare attracts l much attention and
called forth much admiration. We are
told when she began to paint only six or
eight months ago, she could not hold a
brush. Her placque, with face, ia wor
thy of notice.
Miss Sosnowski’s picture, “News of
the War,” has every detail painted with
exactness. This is by msuy considered
her best e"d certainly does her credit
Mr. Marion Davis’ piseques are on ex-
hikilion, snd are very cleverly done.
One of the most interesting things to
look at tre tho charcoal studies done by
Miss Jennie Smith’s drawing class.
These aro done after the method of teach
ing now in the Northern schools, snd
are not copied, hut the real objects are
placed before the scholars and they make
tne pictures from them. This is much
more difficult to do than tho old fashioned
method of drawing with pencil from
books, snd has tho advantage of being
much more thorough.
The apple snd candle, by Miss M H
Brumby, beer bottle and tumbler, by
Miss Ysncey, snd vase snd fan, by Miss
Hunnicutt, pleased us most.
Mrs Omer has painted but little, but
her things would do credit to one wbo
these fowls an surrounded constantly fay
an admiring group.
Mr Tobe Hamilton haa on exhibition
some beautiful Wyandottes, while an un
known party has sent in a pair of fine
games. Master Yancey Harris haa also
some Wyandottes.
But Judge Howell Cobb, the great
chicken tnan of Goorgia, ha: fairly sur
passed himself in his display of fowls.
He has sent in sixty picked breeds, val- •
ued at $300, including three coops filled
with Brown Leghorns, Game and White
Bantams, Light and Dark Brahmas, Wys
andottes and a pair of snow white guineas.
Judge . Cobb's display of chickens ia
splendid. He will sell them to parties
wishing to purchase.
A SAD BTOBY.
In a little out of the war nook In'the
azt hall ia a picture, worked witfa silk
thread and exhibited fay Mrs. R. M.
Wade. It ia of a lovely young girl, sit
ting in a pensive mood, and a little dog
springing at her skirts. In the back
ground is a hone and carriage. Attach
ed to the picture ia the following writ
ten description: “This picture in silk
embroidery was executed over one hun
dred years ago by the youngUdy herself,
known as “Craxy Jane.’’ The carriage
in the background was there to take her
sailor lover to his vessel. The vessel
was lost at sea, and the picture was exe-
cutedafter she had lost her mind. It
was intended as a likeness.
EDOES DORSET.
This popular furniture house haa a
unique and elogant display. One ia not
confused by profusion or dszod by
flashy ware. There is the same sensa
tion as upon entering a handsome parlor.
A few well appointed figures, but each
one solid and all handsome. There ia a
chamber set of French wilnut, hand
somely carved. The table, toilet stand
and bureau are mounted with roan mar
ble. A beautiful cherry table composes
one of tho articles, a superb red and
drab plush easy chair and a Russian
leather lounge make up the entry. The
graining of the (hi niture is exqnisite.
