THE FAIR OF 1882.
•
There having, apparently, been so
little done towards getting np a Fair
this season, so late were we in begin
ning, that the idea seemed to prevail
that the Fair of 1882 would not be as
good as some former ones. It is our
pleasure to state that in this we were
mistaken. In many particulars the
Sixth Annual Fair exceeds all others
—certainly in point of visitors, the es
timate some days being as high as
2,500 in the grounds at one time.—
The gate receipts, day by day, showed
murked improvement over last year,
so that we may safely pronounce this
Fair a success in every particular.
GARDEN AND FARM.
The exhibits in this department,
though perhaps less in number than
in former years, are considered supe
rior in quality. Noticeable among
tiie vegetables were the exhibits of
Messrs. \V. W. Watkins, Wm. Harris,
\V. S. Tucker and John N. Walker.—
This laiter gentleman aloue had
twenty-oug varieties of vegetables.—
His cabbages were immense, and es
timated to weigh nearly or quite fifty
pounds each. Mr. Tucaer’s exhibit
of corn, beaus and cucumbers, all still
on their stems, elicited much cora-
tneut. Tim oat display by Messrs.
Walker, Grant Troup and John P.
I. out) showed what old Glynn can do
m this linn. We never saw finer oats
my where. The beets exhibited by
Mr. J. T. Clancy, of McIntosh, if we
mistake not, were the largest on exhi-
oition.
POULTRY.
Under the able committee, this de
partment was handsomely worked up.
Tuirt-y coops of Bplendid poultry of
tbe various improvod breeds were ex
hibited. We are pleased to see that
our people are turning their attention
very materially to the improvomont
of their poultry. Let others catch
the spirit of progress. The exhibits
of Dr. Brewster, the chairman of this
committee, and Mr. Howard Hine,
desorve more than simple mention, as
these gentlemen are doing much by
precept and example to improve the
poultry interest in this section. It is
an interesting fact that the Bruns
wick-produced breed, a cross of the
houdnn, black Spanish and Leghorn,
received ail of the highest prizes.—
Mr. Spencer Atkinson exhibited seme
very fine bantams of the serai iaook or
siiltuu fowl variety.
STOCK.
The stock exhibit gets bettor every
year, though not yet up to standard.
Still, when we go back a few yours,
wo can seo marked improvements in
this line. Strange to any, wo saw no
milch cows on exhibition. This is a
big oversight. Glynn can show some
hue cuttle.
TUB FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
No words of praise are necessary
from us or uny one else on this de
partment. It speaKS for itself, as it
.drtj.ys does. Our Fair women are at
home in this department, aud don’t
henitaie to show what they have. The
flower display was simply beautiful,
and au honor to the exhibitors. The
principal exhibitors m this depart
ment were Mrs. T. F. Smith, chair
man of the committee, Mrs. D. T.
Dunn, Mrs. T. W. Dexter, Mrs. J. M.
Dexter, Mrs. W. W. Watkins and
Mrs. P. W. Brewster.
FANCY WORK DEPABTMENT.
This department will bo written up
for next issue by a lady reporter who
is specially requested to do so, so we
forbear to say more than that no
county in the State can surpass us
iu this line.
THE CURIOSITY DEPARTMENT
Is a marked feature of this Fair. Tho
exhibits were good. Chairman Bur
roughs’ collection alone was enough
to keep one examining a half day.—
Tho exhibits of little Fred Wilder
would do credit to one of riper years.
His cabinet consists of artitles from
different parts of the world, among
them wo notice a ball of native India
rubber from the Amazon, about eight
inches iu diameter.
RACES.
This interesting feature of the Fair
drew its crowds, as usual. The hors
es entered were, ns a whole, we should
say, better than at past fairs, as there
was no inferior horse entered. The
following covers the three day’s races:
Firlt day:—Haif mile dash—best
two in three. Bill Whirlwind, en
tered by Henry Taylor; Hancock, en
tered by T. W. Lamb. Hancock win
ner.
Second day:—Quarter mile dash—
best two in three. Kuby, entered by
A. T. Putnam; Joe, entered by A. L.
Holzedorf. Ruby, winner.
Thibd day:—Half mile dash—best
two in three. Island Queen, entered
by D. B. Wing; Hancock, entered by
T. W. Lamb. Hancock, winner.
KNIGHTS IN COSTUME.
Thursday afternoon was devoted to
the tournament of the knights in cos
tume, nine in number, who, on fiery
steeds, dashed around the track, each
striving to take the greatest number
of rings, and thus secure the first
prize—a handsome saddle and bridle
—and in addition be entitled to the
high honor of crowning tho qaeon of
love and beauty. The following is
the score made by each contesting
knight, out of a possible eighteen:
Character, Name. Riuga.
Ivanhoo, D. D. Atkinson, 10
Spanish Jester, John R. Dillon, 15
Napoleon, John Manoe, 14
Knight of Pekin, D. B. Ruhdolph, 7
John Lowlow, E. A. Putnam, 9
PiinceofShakers, J. Dubberly, 10
Richard III, S. Wiggins, 12
Henry II, W. D. Mclvor, 13
Knight of Malta, W. M. Wiggins, 12
Mr. John Dillon was declared the
winning knight, and entitled to the
first prize. To Mr. John Monoe was
awarded the second prize, a hand
some silver cake-basket, and to Mr.
W. D. Mclvor was awarded the third,
a $10 gold piece. These prizes were
distributed at the ball on Thursday
night, at which time Mr. Dillon
crowned Miss Louise Barkuloo queen.
We aro pleased to note a marked im
provement in the tournament of this
year over those of former years.
THE BALL.
As usuul this formed an important
adjunct to the Fuir; in fact, it was, to
many, it’s chief attraction. Mr. H. T.
Dunn and his efficient committee left
no stone unturned to render the affair
recherche in every particular. The
hall was most handsomely decorated
with tings from the different vessels
lying at our wharves both here and
at St. Simons. The mupic by Kess
ler’s band was elegant in the extreme,
just such ns is calculated to enthuse
any one, be be ever so averse to trip
ping the light fantastic toe. The
ovoning, even to the “wee sma’ hours,”
passed off pleasantly, and nil seemed
happy as happy could be. The hall was
graced by the chivalry and beauty not
only of Gljiin, but of her sister coun
ties. Tbe decorations of the hall were
planned and executed by Messrs.
Dunn & Glover, aud reflect credit up
on both these gentlemen, as Well as
upon Messrs. Edwards and Lucres,
who assisted them. Refreshments
were served during intermission by
that geDial and clever Col. Flanders,
who knows just what is wanted on
such occasions.
FIREMEN'S OONTE8H.
On Friday afternoon the contest
between, the Mechanics No. 4, of Ma
con, and the Oceanics, of Brunswick,
came oft, and was witnessed by a very
large crowd of people. There being
no provisions for water within the
gronndB the contest'took place at tbe
tank corner Monk and Newcastle
streets. Tho first contest was for pre
mium of $50 for the steamer that
should make the quickest time from
cold water, getting up steam, and
throwing a stream one hundred feet
from the nozzle of a hundred feet of
hose. The following is the score as
furnished us by the judges: ^ ^
Mechanics *
Oceanics ®
Mechanics winners.
The second contest was for a $25
purse, under the following terms:—?
Hose carriago to bo run fifty yards,
two couplings to be made and astream
of water to be thrown one hundred
feet from one hundred feet of hose.
The folowing is the score:
Mechanics * 4*8
Oceanics 32$
Oceanics winners.
The contest was spirited and the
best of humor prevailed. The Me
chanics’ steamer is a piston engine,
whilst the Viola, our engine, is a ro
tary. Our boys are of the opinion that
os soon as they learn more thorough
ly how to handle their engine that
the Mechanics had better look to their
laurels.
THE EIREWORK8.
On Friday night transpired, as the
culmination, probably the Tuost enjoy
able and certainly the most brilliant
feature of the Fair—the fireworks. —
The display was certainly grand, the
scene being ever’ and anon lit up to
great brilliancy by the many colored
lights, causing the dark-green foliage
of the trees to assume strange shades,
and casting upon the faces of the spec
tators weird lights and shadows, while
the beautifal rockets and other works
of like character mounted in their
beauty to the very heavens. The fire
works were a success, one great point
in their favor being that the different
pieces were selected with an eye to
beauty and not to noise. The com
mittee deserve great praise for the eu-
joyubleness of this department.
STRAY NOTES.
We were pleased to greet this week
the brethren of the 4th estate. {
A pair of li autiful white mice, with j
pink eyes, attracted much attention. {
The pyramid cake by Mr. A. E. j
Heins was n beauty, and suggested
marriage festivities to theyoung folks.
The Bracket Works’ display in the
main building was a credit to the
exhibitors, and we trust will prove
remunerative to them.
President Dunn is certainly an en
thusiast on the subject of sack races,
molasses diving, etc. The little folks
.consider him a regular prodigy.
Dr. Burford, our new druggist,
evinced his interest in the Fair by a
small though extremely haudsome dis
play of perfumery and other toilet ar
ticles.
For pluck and-onergy, commend us
to Messrs. Glover A Dunn, whose dis
play of useful and fancy articles in
the big tent was the admiration of ev
ery one.
Now who says we haven't had bul-
loon ascensions every day ? Did you
see the one that went up on Thurs
day with a rag-baby attached ? Some
folks thought it was a genuine baby.
Mr. W. F. Slmduian, of St. Simons,
exhibited specimens of pickled olives
and olive oil manufactured on his
farm which showed wlmt cun be dono
in this line. His oil is strictly pure,
and commands a high price.
Our famous baker, Peter Krauss,
not nsbamed of his prowess as a ma
nipulator of flour, exhibited some of
his choicest specimens of plain, gra
ham and rye breads, that were pecu
liarly tempting to hungry mortals. •
Prof. Baumgartner aud his hand
discoursed sweet music for tbe Fair.
Oar people are justly proud of our
band, and don't believe the State can
produce a better ono—at least, our
boys are ready to “toot” with tbe be»t
of them on short notice.
Did you see neighbor Dnnn when,
during the Firemen’s contest, laying
aside the robe of the President und
donning that of the fireman, he led
tbe charge in the second contest ? No
oue would have supposed be had been
running a fair for three days.
In tbe household department we
observed elegant displays of pre
serves, jellies, pickles, etc,, by Mrs. A.
C. Wnrd and Mrs. J. S. Marlin. A
special meed of praise is due Mrs.
Willie Barkuloo for her jellies. We
unhesitatingly pronounce them the
most transparent we ever saw.
Among the haudsome exhibits of
the Fair might lie classed that of our
enterprisiug young clothing and
geuts’ furnishing merchants, J. B.
Wright & Co. Their display was
uniqne in the extreme, and deserved
ly admired. We mention also tho
handsome display of millinery by
Mrs. Earle.
Ed Pntnam bad on exhibition a cab
inet of birds’ eggs, one of which (that
of a Baltimore oriole) was peculiarly
marked. On tbe shell were two per
fectly formed pictures of birds sitting
on limbs of trees. Ed informs us that
these pictures were on the egg when
he found it in the nest. It is certain
ly a strange freak.
Mr. J. M. Couper had tbe fleece of
a genuine imported Southdown ram
on exhibition which attracted much
attention. Our farmers are showing
a disposition to improve their stock.
This is commendable, os it cost no
more to> feed fine stook than common,
and the yield is certainly better pay-
ing.
B. H. Richardson, city editor of tbe
Savannah Morning News, was in our
city this woek in attendance upon our
Fair. He stayed with us to the very
last, and rendered valuable services
through the columns of the News, for
which, as mouth-piece of our people,
we return him many thunks. Our
people will be glad to greet him
whenever ho comes this way again.
Mr. J. Mason Rice, us agents bad
on exhibition nn exhibit of barbed
wire fencing manufactured by tin-
Washburn & Moen Manmnctiiring
Company, also of webbed wire fenc
ing by Gilbert & Bemiet Manufactur
ing Company, and ol plows fiorn tbe
Syracuse Chilled Plow Co. The
webbed fencing is such as is to be
used by the Park Association.

I^JONCLUSION
We wish to say that tho thanks of our
entire community are tine to Presi
dent Duun and bis able assistants for
working up the Fair of 1882. Cer
tainly no Fair ever started under
poorer auspices, nor was worked up
to better success. These social reun
ions are nrood tilings for oar town unci
for the people at large, aud should bo
perpetuated. Three cheers for the
Fair of 1882.
