Tee WaTKtfs Tb?tjfh.?Tho third psrforuanee by ihis troupe, last night, was a perfect ovation. The hall -wan thronged with a delighted andienoe. Tho new play?'?Bank"?was well re? ceived, and the efforts of the artists were rewarded by the warmest approba? tion. To-night, a dramatization oi Wilkio Gollins' "New Magdalen" will be given, with Mrs. Watkins as Mercy Merriok. The Faib. ? Tho very unpleasant weather, yesterday morning, deterred mmy persons from paying a visit to the gronnds. Some, however, braved tho weather and passed a pleasant day. The committees wero all busily at work, tasting, sampling and examining the different articles. Tho speoimens of iron and wood work, exhibited by our Columbia manufacturers, are matters of the highest commendation. The por? traits exhibited by Miss Qenie Orchard, Mr. Albert Guerry aud Messrs. Wenrn & Hix, attracted a great deal of atten? tion and admiration. The wcll-knowu features of several of oar military heroes were faithfully portrayed. Tho exhibi? tion, particularly in the household de? partment, was very extensive, but we will not pretend to comment upon or enumerate them, bnt refer to the com? plete list published in yeBterday'd and to-day's Phcenix. The fair, notwith? standing the scarcity of money, may bo regarded a success, both as to the num? ber of articled and the visitors in at? tendance. At 12 o'clock, the Edgeflold Sabre Club, under command of President W. T. Gary, formed in front of the main ex? hibition bnilding, and was formally re? ceived by President Woodward. President Gary said, in substance: The Palmetto Sabre Club is complimented by this warm welcome. Our hearts are responsive to your tendered hospitali? ty. We feel that we are among friends, and we will banish our cares and unite with you iu the joyous hour of festival. The Palmetto Sabre Club is banded together, not as a political organization; nor are wo marshaled for war; but we have been organized for the good'of our people. In the darkness of the middle, age*, valiant knights, clad in glittering armor, went forth to battle, to save their coun? try from impending ruinK Their pur? pose was a noble one, aud, in this, we strivaj to emulate their example. We remomber with pride the high claims to true ohivalry, which was ocoe the dis? tinguishing characteristic of the sons of our proud Palmetto Btate. Now, as in the past, we behold Carolina's fair daughters cheering, by the charm of their approving smiles, those of her sons who have not, nor never can forget, the past history of onr State. We wonld contribnto our mite to erect a bulwark of pnblio opinion, which will preserve "the old land-mark?." What? ever has this for iti object we desire to encourage, and it is for this purpose we have come to our State Fair. Virtue, honor and wisdom cannot be ruled by corruption, vioe and ignorance. We are not of those who despair. There is a just God, who presides over our des? tinies. Let aa be mindful of our duty to our State. Let us organize with de? termined hearts to preserve our customs and civilization. Lot ns prove ourselves worthy sons of noble sires. Then, in the language of the motto inscribed upon our flag, "Resurgamiis," "we will rise again." Again we thank yon for your welcome, and you, sir, for the courtly manner in whioh it has been extended. Speeches and responses followed. Tho olub will exhibit their skill aud pro ficionoy in the use of their favorite ? weapon. Tho fair of 1873 closes to-morrow. All who can possibly do so, should at? tend to-day. The following is the pro? gramme: Gates open at 9 o'clock A. M. From 10 till 11, a oontest in the arena between the saddle horses. From 11 till 2, tho same between single and double harness horses. At this contest the commit tees will tie the ribbons. The Races?Cbowds in Attendance. The attendance at the rnoes, yesterday, was unusually large. The grand and side stands were thronged, while great num? bers were on the track, gesticulating, talking and giving advioe. There were fully 100 ladies on the stand, who mani? fested great interest in the exciting pro? ceedings. Tho restaurants in the build ^ ing drove a brisk trade?many persons being nnable to get supplied. At 1 o'clock, the trumpet sounded, and it was announced that the trotters in the undecided contest of the day provious would be called?Chambers' chesnut gelding and Langford's "Spotted Tail." The horses got off well together, but "Spotted Tail" soon got the lead. Tho sorrel mado several bad breaks and ran a portiou of tho way, and tho judges awarded the heat and the race to "Spot? ted Tail." Upon tho rendering of tho decision, there was the usual noisy discussion. A small dog, who had ventured too near the edge of the roof, hero tumbled in bp among tho orowd, and an unusual amount of sympathy was expressed for the unfortunate canine, and his injuries I were promptly attended to. Betting now became lively, in anticipation of i the great event of the week?the raoe for $1,000, oitizena' purse?beta being ' freely offered of two to one on Bacon's i "Frank Hampton." For this raoe? ? mile heats, $750 to the first horse and ! $250 for the second? there were three i outries?Fludd & Gash's "Girl of My Heart;" Thomas G. Baoon's "Frank Hampton," and John H. Gant's "Lady WaahiDgton." Tbe Lady got the in , side, tbe Girl second and Hampton third. A good start was effected, the Girl leading, followed by the Lady, and ' Hampton bringing up tbe rear. This ? position was maintained until tbe horses turned the home strolch, when Hamp? ton shot ahead, aud won the beat?the Girl just behiud?time 4.15. j Betting now took a different turn, as it was evident that Hampton would be the winner of the race, aud tho wagers wero as to tho second horse. When tho horses again got off, they occupied the same positions as in tho first beat; but tbe Girl soon began to give way, and tho other horses pressed forward, aad when they passed tho Judges' stand on tho lunt rouud, Hampton was b ?ding, with Washington on his flunk, and the. Girl somo distance bohiud?time 4.19. The bent and the raoe were awarded to Hampton; the second purse to Wash? ington. Tho second race was for trotters, mile, best three iu five, for a citizens' purse of $500?$100 to first aud $100 to second?open to the world. For this race there were three entries: Jack Chambers' "Malsoy," W. H. Boyce's "Little Mac" aud Henry Laugford's "Spotted Tail." Tho first two cumo to the scratch. The first heat was won by Mao, tbe second by Malsey, the third by Mac. Drivers were thou changed, Malsoy broke badly aud fell far behind, when Muc passed the Judge's stuud at a slow pace. A protest was entered, by somo of the parties interested, on ac? count of tbo change of drivers, when a fifth heat was trotted, aud Mac was again tho winner. Muob interest was manifested iu the racing, aud considerable money changed hands. The following are the races for to-day: First Race?B?nning.?3 mile dash.

The failure in the tea trade, Monday, is attributed rather to competition, which is growing up in the West, than to the pauic. Tbo great Western marts, it is said, are receiving their teas mainly by way of San Francisco, and many smaller Arms here have been wound up, owing to this withdrawal of trade. The decreasing trade is mentioned as tbo causo of one of the heaviest importing bouses advertising two vessels of their fleet for sale. It is said tho engine which.exploded on Fourth avenue, yesterday, had been tended by n boy, the engineer being absent. Miss Bassford, who was killed, was a young woman of great beauty and intelligence. She was on ber way homo, and attracted by tho shout of the work iugmcn. stopped for a second, and was struck by a flying piece of tho boiler. The little girl killed was an Italian street musician. Her harp w?s found lying by tbo aide of her body. The work of death was apparently maiuly executed by a piece of iron, weigbiug fully 200 pounds, which wao thrown off from too boiler, at tho height of about five feet, aud sped through the air at about that level above the ground. Its force was spent at the corner of 12Stb street, where it fell, striking ou the bead und killing the young womau abjvo mentioned. The families of the deceased men, who wero nearly all mar? ried uud hud children, visited the sta? tion house during the evening, und with tears uud anguish, identified the dead.

Mr. Johnson says ho never suw the recommendation. On tho contrary, Judge Holt argued that the question ought not to bo consi? dered, and urged un early execution. Mr. Johnson's curd is regarded as mas? terly. Mr. Johnson complains that Holt withheld allegations intended to dumngu him until tho witnesses were dead.

The District Attorney moved for a stay of proceedings until to-morrow, in order to get tbo case be? fore tho general term of tho Supremo Court. Tho Evening Post says editorially: "Tho feeling of our citizens was raised to fevar heat by the execution of tho four Cuban leaders. It will now rise to the boiling pitob. Cuba and her friends will hereafter need neither money nor men. Have these butchers no feur of the indignation of tho civilised world? Tho report makes tbe blood cold." Washington, November 12.?Bishop HenBhaw's sister and the wives of Rev. Dr. Barney, at Boston, and Bev. Dr. Post, at St. Louis, died at nearly tbe same hoar. Commander B. E Owen will oommand the Manhattan. It ir stated that the Commander o! the YirginiuB was Oapt. Fry, who commanded the Confederate navy in the Arkansas River. The Maho pao and the Manhattan ordered to be put iu commission, and to which officers are already assigned, aro fourth class screw vessels, iron olada, of five hun? dred and tifty tons burden, und carrying each two gnus. These vessels will join tho North Atlantic Squadron. The, vessels of tho navy have been so much reduced in number, that it has been found somewhat difficult to promptly reiuforce our squadrons iu cases of emergency, but in the course of a few duys, all that cau be made available will bo sent to Cuban waters, in accord? ance with tho determiuatiou of the Cabinet meeting, yesterday. Tho Sec? retary of tho Navy was to-day in consul? tation with tho diHerent bureau officers, ou tho subject of preparing the vessels for sea. The Government seems to be ! more earnest than heretofore iu protect I iug tho waters betweeu the United States aud Cuba?tbe greut highway of nil nations -from Spanish molesta? tion. Tbo Madrid Government being unable to enforce its authority in Cuba, that of the United States will be com? pelled to assert its power in all cases where the interest of the citizens of this oouutry, uud its own honor, require de? cisive action. Tho President and all the members of his Cabinet are in acoord on this subject. It is nut believed in official quarters that the contest in Cuba has, at any time, assumed tho couditions which amount to a war, iu tbo sense of international law, or which would show tho existence of a de fach politicul or gaui/.atiou of the insurgent*, sufficient to justify a recognition of belligerency; but, as President Graut said, in one of j his annual messages, the principle is maintaintd that the nation is ite own j judge when to accord the right of bellig? erency, either lo a people struggling to free themselves from a government they believe to bu opprossive, or to independ? ent nations at war with each other.
