The attendance at the second day of the great fair was the largest ever known in its history. Today was per fect and he people took advantage of the line weather 'and turned out in throngs to the grounds. Today was road congress day in compliment to the upholders of the good roads move ment who meet tonight at 7 30 oMok u the house of representatives. A great deal of attention was given by the crowd to the excellent ex hibit of road machinery as that de partment whs especially called to the attention of the public on today's program. Of the many line displays seen at the grouuds the exhibit of cattle, sheep, & probably attracts the mass of sight-seers more than other dis play. It is undoubtedly the grandest and best arranged exhibit of stock ever seeu at the fair or in the south. The chief exhibitors in this line are Messrs. W. M. Benninger of Walnut Port, iVuii., Craft, of 1 ennsylvania ami in-. j. Howard Davison, Altaniont stOik farm, Millbrook, N. Y. Mr. Bnuninger's exhibit ronsists of a splendid herd of Holstein-Friesian cattle. Among them is a magnificent bull, weighing 2400 pounds. He is a grandson of Mechchilde, the cow that holds the record of number of pounds of butter produced in seven days 39 pounds 10 1 2 ounces. This animal has only lately been imported and was not on exhibition at the world's fair. He took the premium at a later fair over the world's fair champion bull. Another fine animal in Mr. Benninger 8 exhibit is 1 allacun, a beautiful cow, that has a record of producing 23 pounds, 11, ounces of butter in seven days. Dr. Davison probably has the best display of blooded cattle ever shown in the Uni ted States. His exhibit consists of sixteen head of the finest cattle and a splendid lot of the finest sheep ever seen here. This is a special feature of the ' stock ex hibit and attracts universal attention. The natives have never seen such sheep as are on exhibition here. All are, kept in the best of order and their clean heavy fleece gives them,a splendid appearance. One venerable ram has the remarkable weight of 425 pounds while none weigh less than 225. Among the doctor's cattle is Lord Stanford, a Guernsey bull weighing 1,900 pounds that that has never yet been defeated in the prize ring. This animal has taken prizes at all the great fairs held in this country, in cluding the world's fair, and many fairs in England and Europe. The main feature also of Mr. Craft's ex hibit is the sheep. They are of the noted, Hampshire breed and have won first prizes wherever they have been placed on exhibition. These three gentlemen are known all over the country as the largest owners of fine cattle in the states and Col. Carr can be congratulated on his successful efforts to get them to ex hibit their stock at the fair. The races are better than ever be fore. Numbers of speedy runners and trotters are on the grounds and will oontest for the prizes. The race to day that will attract the most atten tion is the meeting of Clipper and Alice Burlew, admittedly two of North Carolina's speediest trotters. The card today is as follows, 2.35 class, trotting; mile heajis best three in five, purse $300; running heat race, best two in three, three-qarters . of a mile. This is open to all hurses at catch weights. It is a stake race of $25 with $150 added.. The 2.25 class trotting race was the greatest contest of the kind ever seen in the state The purse was $300. The day's raoe inff closed with a half mile dash for two year-olds." One of the most interesting exhibits at the grounds is the grain and poultry show in the extension to old floral hall. The largest poultry exhibit is made by the Riverside Kennel club, of Newberne. A feature of the clubs ihiblt i. a display of gaily plumaged peasants. Man observer said thta morning the prettiest fowl ever seen in the state. On all sides one can hear such ex pressions as, "the greatest fair ever held," "Jule" Carr has Llown" him self, "betr than the old exposition" and similar remarks. They are right. It is the biggest, grandest and les( fair ever held. THEATRICAL NOTES. The Amusements this Evening at the Theatres, &c. At the academy of music this even ing, the stirring play, the "Ven detta." At Metropolitan hall the "Ranch King" will be presented. 'lie presentation of the "Lady of Lyons" at the academy of music last e.eniug by Mr.JamesYoung'scompany was one of the best pieces of work of its class ever seen here. It was marked throughout by careful and vigorous acting. Mr. Young won fresh hon ors and all these were fully divided by Miss Rida Johnson, who is charm ing. She and Mr. Young are worthy of the applause which was so gener ously accorded them. The support was uniformly good. The audience, like that of Monday evening, was small. Why this was so no one seems to know, for the performs nee deserved a full bouse. At Metropolitan hall there was a light audience, yet Mr. Fred Marsh's company presented "Muggs' Land- in vigorous style and kept the audi ence in a constant laugh. THE WEATHER.
