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, The following was the VALUATION of the exercises, and thi* will enable the reader to comprehend the table given be low: Vabre exercise counts horseman- •hip, 4; right cut against infantry, 1; quartc point, 3; right cut, 2; tierce point, 3.

At 3 o'clock the grand stand was filled with people, among them ladies in holiday .attire, forming a pleading right.

About 3 30 o'clock the Guard arrived at uiepark, and on entering the enclosure of ■ 2 1 ?., mile track went through a fine ?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.

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. PROGRAMME. 1. The royal lancers.

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 j the At- tory. p**", which whs grrairy »nj »y the large crowd of people,whose oppor tunities for witnessing a cavalry drill are The company then filed into the Dark and after further drill in front of the Fran.l stand, halted near the Premium JJali The twelve filters remained upon the ground while the other members of •he company hitched their horses on the t»snk» of the river and then dispersed among the!*friends on the grand stand.

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.
