Tremendous Crowd on Grounds Today. the LARGE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS AND THR SHOW A PBRFKCT SUCCKSS. The fair is now an assured success. The weather continues beautiful and the attendance is fully up to expecta tions. Every incoming train during th day has brought in large crowds and the attendance on the grounds was estimated at from five to eight thousand. The streets are alive with people and the outlook for the most successful exhibition for a number of years is assured. It is impossible now to get up anything like a correct statement of the many articles on ex hibition. It can be said, however, that every department is well repre sented, both as to quality and quan titv. In fact the exhibition is far above the average in all respects. Among the exhibits that calls forth praise, are the specimens of brown stone from the Egypt section of Chat ham county. It is of splendid qual ity and doubtless the display will be the means of prominently bringing it before the capitalists of the country, The exhibit of blankets from the woolen mills, at M Airy, is the fin est of the kind ever made, and is at tracting special attention. The city is)ull of prominent people from all sections of North Carolina, and the fair ladies of the State are here in strong force.

This splendid Agricultural Journal makes its appearance this week as a special Raleigh Edition.
