But this nucleus is already, without
reinforcements, a more than ordinarily
attractive) precinct. Its elevated posi
tion and full exposure to the open
country, its broad streets and more
eligible building sites have made it the
most desirable portion of the city, and
within the last few years it has been
wonderfully r improved. ; The laree
grounds surrounding the residence of
Ool. Bryce have been divided into
three building sites, on two of which
are the residences of Major Frank
Coxe and Col. R. M. Oates. -The form
er of these is in the Italian villa style,
Dunt 01 pressed dock, witn brown stone
facings. It is the largest and most ex
pensive home in town, having cost
probably S35.000. and is fitly owned bv

former residence of Col. Wm. John

merchants, attracts attention from the
dignified and comfortable solidity of
its dull red brick walls, trimmed with
brown, the lawn shaded with large
magnolias, and . the whole suggesting
ancient and unquestionable respecta

have also furnished commodious sites
for the ramblinc but attractive resi

and light green coloring declare its

POPAR-TElfT rJIItt
Am IntereetlBf Occasion ta which the
People el ffladaeakwr. w 7aar
i.-.The third annual fair opened t Pop
lar Tent Thursday morning, and closed
yesterday evening, -- The exhibition in
some respects perhaps fell short of that
of last season, but when the extremely,
hot and dry season is considered, the
fair compared favorably with any that
has been heretofore held at this place.
Short pasturage, resulting in many in
stances in lean cattle ana stock of all
descriptions, kept many former exhibi
tors from bringing stock to tha fair
this year. ; ' ;
Hon. M. McGehee, commissioner of
agriculture, had consented to deliver
the annual address, but Sudden sick
ness prevented . him from attending,
causing much disappointment and sur
prise, as no reason for his absence was
known up to the time the fair closed.' j
Col. L. L. Polk, of Raleigh, was pres
ent, and was solicited to deliver an ad
dress, which he did in a happy style.
Trie writer -failed to reach the grounds
in time to hear the address, but enough
was learned to warrant tne conclusion
that it was one of the vigorous and
practical speeches for which he is
noted. : His subject was "The Mortgage
System," and it is said that the speaker
handled it in a manner to do credit to.
himself and the occasion. A synopsis
of the speech would, be given, but as
there had been no preparation by the
speaker, there were no notes to be had.;
001. JfoiK was present in the interest
of the State Fair, and it is hut justice
to him to say that the subject discussed
was one decided upon after he reached
the stand.
Capt S. B. Alexander, of this county,
was present and also delivered a short
address, which was highly spoken of.
The exhibits consisted 01 live stock
of all classes,, farming implements.
household utensils, fancy articles of
needle and crochet work, sweet meats,
bread, and in fact almost every
thing usually found at fairs of
much greater pretensions . than
than that at Poplar Tent Among the
articles on exhibition a few deserve
especial mention, among which were
a very handsome infant's lace dress,
and a pair of finely embroidered pillow
shams, the handiwork of Mrs. Elizabeth
Gibson, of Concord, a lady near 70
years of age ; a very lovely lot of point
lace, the work of Miss Kate Harris, of
tne same town; Misses .Lula Johnson,
Mollie Fetzer and Dora smith, also of
Concord, had handsome tidies, rugs,
afghans, &c, on exhibition. A fine dis-
Elay 01 preserves, pickles, cakes, jellies,
read, &c was made by Mrs. Col. T. H.
Robinson.
Mr. Arthur Bacon, of the McSmith
music house, was on the grounds with
a splendid piano and organ, which was
the main feature of the hall. Two
sewing machine companies were repre-:
sented, making a very creditable dis
play of their goods.
jrriaa
riday's exercises were opened with
a tournament at 10 o'clock, in which
the following young gentlemen partici
pated :
iungnc sir wm. uoat jno. Cald
well, 8 rings.
Knight of the Comet J. IS. Hender
son, 5 rings. -
Knight of the Eagle's Nest TV. F.

Knight of the Run J. C. Krider.
Knight of Cabarrus Thos. Johnston.
Knight of Poplar Tent D. R. Hol-
brooks.
Knight of the Shooting Star S.v F.
Johnston.
Knight of Mecklenburg Frank Wil-r
son.
The four first named were the suc
cessful contestants, and after repairing
to the stand, the victorious Knights
crowned the following young ladies, in
the order named :
Queen Miss Ida Cannon.
First Maid Miss Etta Gibson.
Second Maid Miss Willie Johnston.
Third Maid Miss Sue Leopard, .
Byrequest Col. Polk delivered a short
and appropriate address, after which
he presented the crowns to the young
ladies, who received them with smiles
and blushes.
After; the coronation exercises, tne
baby show took place, which proved to
be a very interesting feature, though
the door was closed against all young
sters of the male sex.. Several little
ones were presented on the stand for
-the audience to gaze upon, when it
was farther announced that none bat
ladies would be allowed to "vote. The
vote war taken and tne premium, a
handsome small pianodorated Hy Mr.ter which they : adjourned rtne 4ie.
H. McSmith, of this city, awarded to J assoeiation is composed of ex-Cpn-
the baby of Mr. and Mrs, T. V. Dixon,
of Charlotte. .,. -
it was then announced tnac a, ooiiar

carried off the prize by a decided ma- ft
jority.

the two have carried on an amour
which nas attracted the attention of a
good many people. It finally got to the

London, August 12. In the House
of Commons last night a division was
taken on the question that the : House
disagree with the amendment to clause
10 of the land bill introduced into the
House of Lords, strikingodt the words
granting power to the Land Court to
render void any lease obtained by the
landlord, by threat of eviction or undue
influence, and the motion to disagree
was carried by a vote of 287 to US.
The amendment of -the House of
Lords to strike out the proviso that the
Land Court may stay proceedings for
debt when the tenant has applied for
fixing judicial rent was rejected by a
vote of 223 to US. -
The House of Commons adjourned at
4.10 a. m. The land bill was sent to the
House of Lords where it was received
and ordered for consideration to-day.
