Another bright and lovely day fur the Fair, though' a little rain the night pre vious would have added-much to the com fort of those whs j travelled On the public highway. I - The number of persons in attendance was in the neighborhood of 2,000, which is unusually large for' the fourth day of the Fair. The exhibition was slightly improved by. accessions;- and in no way diminished by ..withdrawal of articles. ; TilK 1IAI.I.S ' . i wore a deserted appcaranoe in comparison to Wednesday ami Thursday. Besides this thcro are no new features to descant upon. . A large number of articles wore removed during the day, and to-day will be "prin cipally devoted to moving and auction eering. ; THE I'KKMIUM COMMITTEES were again active iu their labors, and the large number of articles having pieces of paper pinned upon them bearing the word "premium".' indicated that they had been liberal iu their recommendations for awards. In this connection it will not be otit of 'place to stato that Captain C. B. Dcnson, the Secretary of the Society, ai nounced to a reporter of this paper that several days must elapse before an accu rate list of the premiums awarded can be niadc. out and. that until such list could bb furnished from his office he preferred that no mention of them should be made. This is a disappointment as it was hoped that the olfici il list would appear in this issue. ; - THE .SMALL CROWD' present Had an advantage over the visitors of previous days ; they could leisurely and comfortably examine all that there was to be seen, and occasionally get an opportu nity of resting from their perambulations upon some cosy seat. THE EXHIBITORS, a large number of whom have been upon their fcct,altnost constantly since Tuesday morning, seemed fagged out, and no doubt they welcoaic the closing scenes of the exhibition. ' It is" true that to-day is counted iri as ono of the. days of the exhibition, but it usually has very few visitors, and is 'devoted to the work of clearing away. THE GKAlvl) STAND had quite a large array of beautiful ladies, and there were some very handsome toilets worn, regardless of of the ' dust and the danger ot snags. On the third noor, dur ing the interval between the races, and other matters of interest, many couples could be seen whirling in the , graceful, gliding joys, of the waltz to tlie soft tones of the Italian string band. It was unan imously agreed among the ladies that this was the most delightful part ot the whole exhibition, and indeed this was the opinion of many non participants, but who were pleased spectators. HORIZONTAL UAR EXERCISE. At about half past one o'clock the con test between boys under sixteen years of ragc in gymnastic exercises on thchorizon tahbar took place. There were only three entries. For some unkown cause the au thorities had made no arrangements for this exhibition. The boys had to erect the bar themselves, and no judge put in aaapjcaraticc, consequent!, the per formance of the boys attracted but little attention. We are no judge of gymnastic performances and cannot say whether or not the boys' did their best, but they wore tbero and did -their part in carrying out the programme in regard to the bar con test. ' THE MILITARY. Although " several companies returned home Thursday night, much to the sorrow of all and the disappointment of the young ladies who, during tho previous day, have ioricd in being escorted around by. one in grey uniform, still in many portions jof the grounds yesterday could bo seen small squads of uniformed men, who were for tho lirst time availing themselves of an idle moment, affording them the opportu nity to look over the display of good wares, and machinery. ' The military have added very largely to the success of our Fair and it was a pleasure to see them enjoy them selves, which they seemed to .do yesterday. SIDE SHOWS. ! ' This was the first Fair ever held in this city at which there were no side shows. No painted canvass Was on the 'ground, no fat woman, ring-tailed monkey, living skeleton, or wax work of Charley Ross; nothing of the kind appeared upon or near the ground. The only catch, pennies were a never failing cement man, the vender of lightning sausage, and Dunn, the pen man, who told the truth when he told those standing around him that "they could get just what they wanted at their'' own price." We- stood near his stand and saw him sell a dollar lot of his goods. He first took qut a nickle pen staff and six pens, then added six sheets of paper and six envelopes, then a pair of gold-plated (?) sleeve buttons and three shirt studs, then a collar button aud scarf pin, then a finger ring and set of ear rings, then a breast pin and lady's finger r'in, 'all' of which he offered lor $ 1 . o body purchased." Again the vender ad ded to the package, putting in a locket with a chain tliree feet long,1 and a pair of bracelets, then a watch chain and charm, and again cried, "who'll take it for a dollar ?" and a dozen dollars were . - . . ; I . t shoved up in his face, and a.nother soul was made happy. V THE FRUIT PREMIUM. Though a mention of premiums has been avoided by request, as stated else where, yet the fact is well known that (Japt. Natt. Atkinson, of Buncombe, took the premium in the fruit line. Many de clare that h3 pomological display was the most attractive feature in General Exhi bition Hall. During the Centennial Ex position papt. Atkinson's energy and in dustry were highly complimented by sev eral leading Northern papers, and his apples were spoken of as unsurpassable. ,The Captain did not have an easy "walk over this time, as he had several compe titors, all of whom have been previously mentioned, V ho gave' hira a very close race. The 'fruit exhibition is remarked on all sides as having been magnificent, and in truth it is so; nothing like it was ever witnessed here before. In point of fact it may be now said that the SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL FAIR of the North Carolina Agricultural So ciety is over. It was one, it can be said, which the entire Stale may well feel proud of. It has evidenced the great resources of the State, and impressed upon the minds of thousands .the fact that the Giver of ail good and perfect gifts has blessed our clime lavishlv, and that it only needs self-reliance, vim and industry to reap the glorious advantages placed within our reach. With honest labor, guided by intelligence and pluck, North Carolina will soon have no waste places to annoy the eye and deplete the coffers. Yes, the Fair is now almost a thing of the past, but it is gratifying to feel and kpow that the good it has accomplished will live and bear fruit long after its memory has faded. It was a joyous sea son of good feeling and happy reunions; new friendships made aud old ones more strongly commented ; ideas given and re ceived ; it has served its useful purpose, and goes to make room for its improved successor. The best criterion by which to" judge of the zeal and earnest labor-of the officers of the Agricultural Society, is the measure of success which h s crowned their efforts.. Tney meant success, and they have de served and achieved it. THE TARGET-PRACTICE. The parties that "tied" in the shooting match of Thursday met on the Fail Grounds yesterday morning; and resumed tho contest. After a spirited contest, Private J T Parris, of company F, 1st Battalion, was awarded the prize. ! THE RACES. There were quite a number of races du ing the day. The first was a trotting race, mile and repeat, with the following entries : Boanoke, by Pomeroy ; Sallic Pachcn, by Pucey ; Jennie Morgan, by Lyon. Roanoke won the race easily, in two straight heats. Time not stated. No. 2 was a running race, half mile dash,, between James Norwood's Lilly Ruffin and Hall's bay filly. No name. The filly won the race in 58 seconds. The third race was a mile dash' and the horses entered. The bay filly again came out victor. Time not stated. Race No. 4 was a half mile dash. C. Dosier enters Hope and Walker enters Sumpter. Hope won he race in 53 seconds. The 5th was a special trotting race with the following entries : I Frank Kenan, by Hackaday ; David Crocket, by : ; Flora, by Dickey, Billy Lee, by' Beck ; Buster, by Smith. It was a close and exciting race, Billy Lee came out ahead and David Crocket second. 1 The exhibition of driving horses to re present style, gentleness &e., for which a premium of a track wagon is given was very fine, cofnprising eight entries. The prize was awarded to Mr. M. Lassiter. In the boys' show for skill in horseman ship there were quite a number of entries. The prize was a saddle and bridle and was awarded to Robert Lynch. Jno. Dent re ceived the second premium. Boys under 12 years of age also com peted for . a special premium and Peter Jones got the first premium and -Walter Fuller the second.

Enough food is wasted in nearly every house in North Carolina in six months by injurious and destructive cooking to keep these families going for the remainder of the year. And this is not the worst as pect of the case. In the midst of plenty, few, very few families get as good nutri tious farej as would be furnished in France, for instance, at one-fourth the cost. Take the average farm-house all over the State and the traveller can almost anticipate with certainty the fried meat and biscuit for breakfast, boiled bacon and greens for dinner, and the bill of fare for breakfast repeated at supper, a course , calculated in the end to damage the digestion of tho most stalwart man, eventually disarming him for resistance against inroads of disease , Here is a little pamphlet of forty pages intended to show, and that 'gratuitously, how workingmen's families (and who are not working men in the South now ?) can have a dinner for 15 cents, and in fact how to live a whole week for $2 63) two dollars and sixty-three cents. This estimate, it is true, is made upon the Washington market retail prices, but the amount can be approximated in North Carolina; in some places the cost will be more and in other places less. iFbe bill of fare itemized by Miss Corson gives all the varied elements for good nutrition and support. Send for one of Mi&s Corson pam phlets; it costs nothing but the postage stamp. Here is the announcement on the coven ' . "All persons are cautioned sot to pay fob this book.
