VMteriiay *« one of Macon', big days.
Y ',he occasion of a visiting military

ffS people and to our beautiful park to
‘'jfeTmbenof the Guard arose early

^mmd the acta. Many of them in Uteir
uniform. took a .pin around the
Sand admired the pretty home, and
J ttv streets, returning to the hotel with
Jell-whetted appetites for a Brown House
bl SmT iieal being over, a perusal of
the papers and the enjoyment
, a cigar were next in
Ler and then came the meeting e[
the judges in Capt. Milledge'a room The
chairmen of the various sets of judges
were “elected. Col. Wilbeforce Daniels,
of Augusta, presided at the meeting.
At the sound of the bugle, the company
assembled at Holman and McAndrew's
.tables and mounted their steeds. A pa-
‘tade over the streets was then made and
•hen Mulberry street was reached there
was a drill, Which elicited expressions of
admiration on every band. The colors,
Which in some wav were left in Atlanta
ntsht before, were here received. The
cavalrymen then marched to the hill
andstavethe young ladies at Wesleyan
Female College a view of the tine-looking
hodv of men in their handsome uniforms.
A large crowd of people, among whom
a large number of ladies,witnessed the
!a”de .mi drill on Mulberry. After this
the company mtlched to the park, when
the titters had a practice with the heads
’’■rhe practice over, the company march
ed to dinner, and it may be said that not
withstanding the extra crowd, the dining
room of the Brown House lost nothing of
the reputation for being first-class.
At ‘’o'clock the park gates were opened,
and toe crowd began to me in. The day
was net very warm, and fortunately a little
breeze was stirring. The ladles went down
in carriages and buggies, and the male
population went down in ail sort, of vehi
cles, many going on foot,
f THU PLACE SELECTED
for the tournament was on that portion
of the mile track In front of the grand
stand. It was most admirably suited to
the purpose, taring as level ns a billiard ta
ble, will! a smooth, springy surface. Here
also was the judges’stand, in which the
time keepers were to themselves and sc-
cure from annoyance.
Uu the ground and about midway the
track were the *>tanda and posts for
the rings ami heads used in the exercise.
THE EXERCISE
consisted in a trooner, at the trumpet sig
nal, with ids sabre drawn and at the
cirrv, moving forward at the walk a few
varili ami then taking the gallop. Start
ing from the upper end of the track near
Premium Hall, he nerved himself for the
tiff, urn] when midway between the start
and first post he comes to ••guard” and
commences the “charge” at the full speed
of his hose. Thin first |N>st has a leather
bead about the size of a man's head, which
b placed loosely upon the post. When
within a few yards of the
Jr.-t [lost he takes the position
)f “right cut,” and upon getting opposite
«be head he exemtes the “rightcutagainut
Infantry.” After making this cut lie re
lumes the position of “guard.” and when
within a few yards of the lirst ring he
take* the first position of “quarts point,”
and. when near enough, thrusts his aubre
through the ring, throws U up and oil* the
aabre bv an upward motion of the wrist.
This ring is loosely placed upon the
booked end of a wire suspended from a
frame, tie then resumes the “guard” un
til within a few yards of the second head,
when he takes the first position of '"right
cut," and makes the cut when the horse's
shoulders are opposite the post, resumes
the “guard,” and when near .second ring,
takes first posit-on of “tierce point,” ami
when near enough, thrusts in “tierce” at
the ring, throwing it up and oil the sabre
bv a quick movement of the wrist. He
then resumes “carry sabre,” and brings
down bis horse slowly by degrees to a
walk, and returns to the rank, taking his
place on tbe lett of the rank. At the
trumpet signal the next trooper starts on,
snd does tbe same as above described,
snd so on to the original left of the rank.
Each trooper to be allowed three runs,

At 3 o'clock the grand stand was filled
with people, among them ladies in holiday
.attire, forming a pleading right. While
waiting for the soldier* to ap|»ear, the vast
Mdience was rivaled with music bv a brass
hand from Atlanta, and also Pauella's
Italian band.

?rill, which was greatly enjoyed
AWARDING THE PRIZES.
The assembly call was sounded by the
bugler, and the company formed in line in
front of the judges' stand Col. Daniels
then announced that the first prize had
been won by R. L. Jones, second prize by
T. J. Youmans, and the third prize by J.
N. Calhoun. Four of the tillers, Messrs.
Paine, Beattie, Arnold and Wurra had
scored 40 ea n h and tied, and it was decided
that they should have one more run each
tor the fourth prize. The runs were made,
and resulted in a victory for Beattie.
• The four successful troopers were then
called to tbe front, and as each name was
called out the i>eculiar yell of the Guard
was given.
Col. J. G. Zachry, of Atlanta, an exempt
member of the Guard, then advanced to
the front of the stand and in a beauti
ful and chaste address delivered the prizes.
THK PRIZES.
The prizes are very handsome. The first
prize is a beautiful gold medal, presented
to the company os an annual prize by
Freeman »fc Crankehaw. The prize medal
has a smaller medal on the interior, which
each winner retains. This medal was won
last summer by Sergeant Robert L. Jones,
who wins it again. In addition to this the

Immediately after Mr. Zachry’s ad-
constituted, respectively, the queen, and THE BIBB DEMOCRACY
first, second ana third maitiz of honor.
the appearance of those gentlemen he
said:
*‘We had heard of Macon's hospitality,
and knew that she could do a great deal,
but we never expected to see the like of
this. We shall never forget it, and we
want to thank you for your open-hearted
welcome. When it was announced that
the old companies from the sea-board
could not be with us, we determined to
come anyhow, and your Colonel Wiley,
Captain Carnes, Major Jaques and Major
Ross went to work for ds, and we desire
to show them some little appreciation.
We have here four badges, one apiece,
which we hope they wifi wear as long as
they live and then leave them to their
children.”
These badges are very pretty. The let
ters “O. H. O.” in monogram with ring,
and on the reverse side being tbe name of
each of the recipients, with the words
“with compliments of the Governor’s
lloree Guard.”
The presentation of these prizes closed
the exercises, and the great crowd dis
persed. The Guard marched to the stables
and quartered their horses, and then re
paired to the hotel for supper and prepara
tion for the ball.
NOTES AND INCIDENTS.
The park was in the best of order, and
the arch of welcome at the entrance added
no little to the beauty of the grounds..
During the practice of the morning, Mr.
II. C. Glenn struck his knee against one
of the posts and bruised bis leg a little, but
he appeared all right in the afternoon.
After the tournament the markers of
the company lmd one run each, but they
failed to score a figure.
The Guards fell in love with the park.
One of them said if Atlanta had it there
would not be a day that there was not
some lig%ttraction in it.
No accident of any serioos natnre oc
curred during the afternoon. The best of
order was preserved throughout.
Captain Milledge will go to work at once
to have a tournament in Macon next year
that will bring all the cavalry companies
of the State together.
THE THE TIIALIAN HOF.
The air last evening was soft and cool,
nnd delightfully suited to the full and com
plete enjoyment of the dance. At an early
hour the lights beamed from Masonic
Hall, indicative that the triumphant end
ing of the grand tournament was at hand.
Certainly, the complimentary reception
tendered the visitors by the social Tha-
lians was a grand success. About 0 o'clock
the couples began to assemble, and in a
short while the dancing floor - presented a
scene of beauty and pleasure. It waa a
representative gathering of Georgia soci
ety. To Atlanta's showy delegation was
added Macon’s fair representation, and a
combination was never so pleasant or har
monious.
Of course, where the crowd was so large
it would be impossible to present a perfect
list. Owing to the late arrival of many of
the visitors, it was found inconvenient to
E rovide a regular list of the couples.
[ence, there was no way of obtaining the
attendants but by observation, and this
was necessarily imi>erfect and unsatisfac-
1 ■ - . -i ’■ I of h md- - <1
badges, executed and presented by Messrs.
J. P. Stevens & Co., and were marvels of
beauty.
The delivery was made by R. W. Patter
son. Esq.* in a speech of exceeding beauty
and appropriateness. Mr. Patterson wa«
in his happiest mood, and the wit and
point of his effort were richly enjoyed by
the crowd. At the conclusion of the
presentation, Pauella’s band struck np a
lively strain, and tbe royal dance was exe
cuted. The toilettes were simply lovely,
and were admired by &U.
THE REGULAR PROGRAMME
was then begun, snd tbe dancing continued
to a late hour. Below will be found the
order of the dance.

REFRESHMENTS
were served and heartily partaken c l and
at a late hour the merry party adjourned,
taking each with them happy memories of
tho complimentary reception. The Horse
Guard were out in uniform and were cer
tainly a handsome set of fellows. Atlanta
may well feel proud of them. We trust
tlie day is not far distant when it will be
our pleasure to entertain them again,
CLOVER IN BIBB.
A Very Successful Experiment at Holton.
Holton, May 31.—Telegraph vnd Met-
tenger: As I attach much importance to
clover as a fertilizer and most economical
renovator of our exhausted lands, and a
most superior food for all kinds of stock, I
am anxious to stimulate our farmers to
engage more largely and generally in clo
ver culture. Experience has proved that
our soil and climate are not unfavorable to
the growth of clover. The doubts that
were entertained a few years ago have
been removed, and all that is necessary
now is to take tbe trouble to prepare the
land and sow tbe seed. On most lands
eight to ten pounds of seed and two hun
dred pounds of plaster will in one year, if
the soil is tolerably good, be converted into
two tons of the very best hay. This ma
terial will be chiefly derived from the at
mosphere by the clover plants, which have
the power of changing carbon and oxygen
into solid matter in their stems and leaves.
This they deposit in the soil when their

the ground while the other members of

and placed just where It is wanted for the
next crop. Even the roots are
net idle; they burrowed into and
loosened the earth, pumping
up water and the various minerals held in
solution in the earth and depositing them
in the stem of the plant along wttli the
minerals drawn from the atmosphere, and
then we have a compost of silica, lime,
{Kitasli, soda, magnesia, and iron, mixed
with carbon, oxygen and nitrogen as food
for the next crop. Not only has this
amount of manurial matter been
prepared but the soil bos been
loosened in all directions, so the air
can i>enetrate and warm it and act upon
the mineral matter it contains. This soil
is very different from what it was when
the seed were sown. Its mechanical con
dition is greatly changed; tho decaying
vegetable matter upon the surface as it
dissolves by the rain can accompany the
roots into the earth ami yield up to them
the nourishment it contains.
1 have just finished mowing a four acre
lot of clover and housed the hay, gather
ing (3) three tons per acre. I did not save
more than two-thirds of it owing to in
expert labor and lack of improved imple
ments; besides ono acre of it liad
! ;rown so rank and high that it
ell down (matting or bedding), hence
1 could not mow and save more
than half of the acre. I sowed thirty two
pounds of clean clover seed on the four
acres, about tbe middle of February, one
year ago, sowing where the oats were then
six to eight inches high. About one-
eighth of an acre was bare of grain, hav
ing been eaetn up by the poultry. This I
harrowed after sowing. The balance of
the four acres was sown on the surface,
trusting to chance for the clover to catch,
and being covered by tbe spring rains.
The 1st of April I discovered on the land
which was harrowed, the clover had ger
minated and covered the land as thick as
crab-grass on rich bottom land; that on
the land not harrowed came up in clumps
five to ten inches apart in some places and
thick in others, owing to the washing of
rains. After harvesting my oat crop the
1st of June, the clover commenced
a more vigorous growth, and
by the 15th of July the clo
ver on the eighth of an acre which was
harrowed in was three and a half to four
feet high. This 1 cut for hay. I then
tumedinmv mare and colt, calves and
four Essex shoats, which grazed all sum
mer and fall, keeping fat I took them of!
the first of November, and by the 15th of
December the clover was four to six inches
high, and throughout the winter would
have grazed all my stock. I kept my colt
and pigs on it until the first of March;
since then it has been growing and was
on tbe 20th of May. yielding three tons
per acre. If any one wishes to know more
about its management, preparation of
land, grazing and harvesting. 1 will
pleasure in giving them the benefit of my
experience. Yours, etc., L. Holt.
