I 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. AWARDS. 1)1 VISION A—Farm and Harden Frod- nctaniid Crain.
