THE EXHIBITS LARGELY IN- CREASED—MAIN HALLS CROWDED WITH VIS- ITORS AND DtS PLAYS-SIGHTS. 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: MIIS. CARLTON'S IS THE CREDIT. Athens, Nov. 10th, 1800.—Editors Banner-Watchman: I see in your “Notes of tho Pair" of this date, that you put the pntry of agricultu ral products from farm in utv name. mado two other picture* which will be 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. Among the scholars of Mias Jennie Smith who have exhibited their work with hen ere Missel Comer, Maggie Mor ton, Tillie Morton, Mra. Omer, Mrs. Sid Hughes, Misses Katie Rutherford, This is sn unintentional injustice to Mrs. Carlton. I haring been absent from home most of the summer and full.

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 " ‘ e pi *' MiTTHStM-S, I.J'ri, Julin,,-, Watkins, Janie Stephens, Blanche Tar- water. Maud Barker, Mattie Hnnnicutt M K Yancey, Mary Harris Brumby, Mrs. Stroud, Mrs Jim King, MT Dtvis, Mrs 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. Edge, Dorsey AJCo. have given a striking and beautiful insight into their store by this display. M. MYERS * co. This staid and substantial houso has a striking exhibit At the southern en trance of exhibition hall a carpet pavil- hands of the tnrncr. Tho elegant exten sion top phoeton, made for J. P. Gholston, of Paolt, was much admired. It is a$250 job, and was made out and out by Klein a Martin, in Athene. Better work can not bp seen in the State, or in the South. A phmton of the same kind, in the unfin ished State, was also exhibited. This will be a beautiful extension top, and will be finished for Mr. A. H. Hodgson. The pretty top buggy in the hall has It to order for W. R. Jones, Jr. Tho display of wagons, finished and un finished, in the shed, is also very fine. A beautiful delivery wagon ia first aeon. A fine plantation wagon, just bought* by Mr. F; H. Hodgson, is also in tho grounds. The one-horao wagon haa been purchased by W. D. Garrison, of Frank lin county. Tho wagons cost $58 and j and $38, and are very substantial snd handsome. Klein & Martin have cer tainty made a ten strike before the public by their bandsomo exhibit • BAt.nwnr * Fleming. The general impression la that Baldwin & Fleming have gotten up the moat artistic shoe exhibit ever seen in Athens. The arrangement ef all the stock is tasty, and back of the display la the fact that the quality of the inoes ia beyond compere. They will stand the cloaeet inspection at the grounds, and the most persistent wear when purchased and worn. There is every kind and finish, from the stout plantation boot and brogan, to the finest Miller A Obcr gentlemen’s sjtots, or the most delicate Cinderella pen They are there for all prices, it is hard to tell which is tho most popular, the exhibit stand or the stores of this wall-known house.

THE TOCI.TBT DtSPLAT. Eyery coop belonging to the fair ssso* I station is filled with improved breeds of poultry, and this department ia one of the moat attractire on the grounds, as mani festo i fay the constantly moving crowds passing among the coops all day. Judge 8 M Herrington has a trio of undoubtedly the finest Plymouth Rocks I we ever saw. The bens were hatohed May 2,and are now nearly as large as grown turkeys. Judge H bae also a coop of beautiful little Golden Beabrights, that attract a great deal of admiration.

There are hand-painted shados, brass snd ebony polls, blankets and comforts and hassocks.

Myers A Co. of the bisque statuary. Fancy figures, Venetian, Bohemian and Floreutino work. Taken altogether the exhibit of this house is one of the handsomest over seen in Northeast Georgia. Hundreds have admired these exhibits in passing snd haro returned to admire them again. It is s perfect success in every way. MR. C. A. SCUDDER’B DtSPLAT. Where is Scuddo'rs display? Kvory one as he enters tho hall asks this ques tion. The visitor is directed to a snug alcove under the entrance to the grand stand, where red portieres shut out the glare Irom tho soft mellow radiance within. This seems to be a grotto inlaid with china and silver and gold and riven for rays of colored lights. The sight is soft snd beautiful. Eight lamp* burn upon brass stands in different parts of the room and lights gleam through fancy ? ;lobes and ornamented shades. Six airy lamps shine so softly that they seem to be phosphorescent. There ia an ex- quisito display of royal Worcester chins, Teheran china, Vienna, Royal Saxony, Dresden chins, transparency work, opal escent ware, beaten silver, hammered brass and ail the latest and moat elegant things in metal and pottery. Glass and silver blend beautifully snd there is nothing vulgar or flashy in this model little retreat of the popular silversmith .Mr. Bcudder is an Athens boy, who commenced this work right here at home, and finished his trede in New York.

He has brought out, and is now displaying a class of goods which people nave been accus tomed to send off for to the North. HU display was a revelation to many people. HAMPTON A WEBB. msm WB& The moat popular display, from the number of pcoplo who visit this section and linger' there, ia the candy exhibit of Hampton A Webb.
