Thb Wktaxh\ ?*^~Thp third parfotniBDoe by ihxa ttoupo, laat night, VM ft perfect ovation. Tho hall was thronged with & delighted audience. The new play?"Rank"?was well re? ceived, and the efforts of the artists were rewarded by the warmest approba? tion. To-night, a dramatization of Wilkie Collins' "New Magdalen" will be given, with Mrs. Watkins as Mercy Merriok. The Fate. ? The very unpleasant weather, yesterday morning, deterred many persons from paying a visit to the grounds. Some, however, braved tho weather and passed a pleasant day. The committees were all busily at work, tasting, sampling and examining the different artioles. Tho specimens 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 and Messrs. Wenrn & Hix, attracted a great deal of atten? tion and admiration. The well-kuowu features of several of our military heroes were faithfully portrayed. The exhibi? tion, particularly in the household de? partment, was very extensive, but wej will not pretend to comment upon or enumerate them, but refer to the com? plete list published in yesterday's and to day's Phcjntx. Tho fair, notwith? standing the scarcity of money, may bo regarded a success, both as to the num? ber of artiolee and the visitors in at? tendance. At 12 o'clock, the Edgefield Sabre Club, under command of President W. T. Gary, formed in front of the main ex? hibition building, and was formally re? ceived by President Woodward. President Gary said, in substance: The Palmetto Sabre Club is complimented by this warm welaome. 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 in the joyous hour of festival. The Pal motto Sabre Club is banded together, not as politioal organization; nor are wo marshaled for war; bat we have been organized for the good of our people. In the darkness of the middle, ages, valiant knigbts, clad in glittering armor, went forth to battle, to save their coun? try from impending ruin^ Their pur? pose was a noble one, and, in this, we strive j to emulate their example. We remember with pride the high claims to true ohivalry, which was onoe the dis? tinguishing characteristic of the Hons of our proud Palmetto State. Now, as in tho past, we behold Carolina's fair daughters oheerlng, by the charm of their approving smiles, those of her eonB who have not, nor never can forget, the past history of onr State. We would contribute our .mite to erect a bulwark of public opinion, which will preserve "the old laud-mark?." What? ever has this for its object we desire to encourage, and it is for this purpose we have oome to onr State Fair. Virtue, honor and wisdom cannot he ruled by corruption, vioe and ignorance. We are not of those who despair. There is a just God, who presides over onr des? tinies. Let us be mindful of our duty to our State. Let us organize with de? termined hearts to preserve our customs aud civilization. Let us prove ourselves worthy sons of noble sires. Then, in the language of the motto iosoribed upon onr flag, "Resurgamus," "We will rise again." Again we thank yon for your welcome, and you, sir, for the oonrtly manner in which it has been extended. Speeches and responses followed. Tho olub will exhibit their skill and pro fioionoy in the use of their favorite ? weapon. The 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 0 o'clock A. M. From 10 till 11, a contest in the arena between the saddle horses. From 11 till 2, tho same between single and double harness horses. At this contest the committees will tie the ribbons. The Racks?Cbowds ix 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 ad vioe. There were fully 100 ladies on the stand, who mani? fested great interest iu the exoiting pro? ceedings. The restaurants iu the build L ing drove a brisk trado?many persons being nnablo to get supplied. As 1 o'clock, the trumpet sounded, and it was announced that the trotters in the undecided contest of the day previous wouid be called?Chambers' chesnut gelding and Langford's "Spotted Tail." The horses got off well together, bat "Spotted Tail" soon got the lead. Tho Borrel made several bad breaks and ran a portion of the way, and the judges awarded the heat and the raco to "Spot? ted Tail." . Upon the rendering of tho decision, there was the usual noisy discussion. A small dog, who had ventured too near tho edge of the roof, hero tumbled in w among tho orowd, and an unusual amount of sympathy was expressed for tho unfortunate canine, and his injuries were promptly attended to. ' Betting now became lively, in. antiolpation of the great event of the week?the raoe for SI,-000, citizens' parse?bets being freely offered of two to one on Bacon's "Frank Hampton." For this race?2# mile heats, 8750 to the first horse and $250 for the second?there were three entries?Fladd & Gash's ?'Girl of My Heart;" Thomas G. Bacon's "Frank Hampton," and John H. Gant's "Lady Washington." Tbe Lady got the in? side, tbe Girl second and Hampton third. A good start was effected, tbo Girl leading, followed by the Lady, and Hampton bringing up tbe rear. This position was maintained until the horses turned the home stretch, when Hamp? ton shot ahead, and won tbe heat?the Girl juBt behind?time 4.15. Betting now took a different turn, as it was evident that Hampton wonld be tbe winner of tbe race, and tbo wagers wero as to the second horse. When the horses again got off, they occupied the same positions as iu the first beat; but tbe Girl soon began to give way, and tbo otbor horses pressed forward, and when they passed tbe Judges' stand on the last round, Hampton was leading, with Washington ou his flauk, and the Girl some distuuee bahiud?time 4.19. The bent and tbe raoe were awarded to Hampton; tbe second purse to Wash? ington. Tbo eecond raoe was for trotters, % mile, best three iu five, for a citizens' purse of $500?S400 to first and ?100 to second?open to the world. For this race there were three entries: Jack Chambers' "Malsey," W. H. Boyce's "Little Mac" and Henry Laugford's "Spotted Tail." Tbo first two came to the scratch. The first heat was won by Mao, tbe ecoond by Malsey, the third by Mao. Drivers were then changed, Malsey broke badly aod fell far behind, when Mac passed the Judge's stuud ut a slow pace. A protest was eutered, by some of tbe parties interested, on ac ooua. of tbo change of drivers, when a fifth beat was trotted, and Mac was again tbe winner. Muob interest was manifested iu the racing, and considerable money changed hands. The following uro tbe races for to-day: First Back?Running.?3 mile daeh.

Tho failure in the tea trade, Monday, is attributed rather to competition, which is growing up in the West, than to the panic. The great Western marts, it is said, are receiving their teas mainly by way of San Francisco, and many nmuller firms here have been wound np, owing to this withdrawal of trade. The decreasing trade is mentioned us tho canso of one of the heaviest importing bouses advertising two vessels of their fleet for sale. It is said the engine which.exploded on Fourth avenue, yesterday, had been tended by a boy, the engiuoer being absent. Miss Bassford, who was killed, was a young woman of great beauty and intelligence. She was on her way homo, and attracted by the shout of the work iugmen, stopped for a second, and was struck by a flying pieeo of tho boiler. The little girl killed was an Italian street musician. Her harp was found lying by tho side of her body. The work of death was apparently mainly executed by a piece of iron, weighiug fully 200 pounds, which was thrown off from tho boiler, at the height of about five feet, aud sped through tho air ut about that level above the ground. Its force was spent at the eorner of 128th street, where it fell, striking on the head und killiug the young woman above mentioned. The families of tho deceased men, who wero nearly all mar? ried aud hud children, visited the sta? tion house during the evening, und with tears and anguish, identified tbe dead. New York, November 11.?A boiler exploded this afternoon, at tho corner of Fourth avenue and 128th street. Se? veral persons wero instantly killed and several wounded. All of the killed had either tho whole or a portion of their heads blown off. San Francisco, November 12.?The Auti-Cbiuese Convention met hero to? day, and elected F. H. Ward President.

Mr. Johnsou says ho never saw the recommendation. On tho contrary, Judge Holt argued that the question ought not to bo consi? dered, aud urged an early execution. Mr. Johnson's card is regarded as mas? terly. Mr. Johnson complains that Holt withheld allegations intended to dumago him until tho witnesses were dead. New York, Novembor 12.?Judge Sutherland, to-day, delivered a long opinion, discharging Rosenweig, the abortionist. Tho District Attorney moved fur a stay of proceedings until to-morrow, in order to get the case be? fore tho general term of the Supreme I Court. Tho Evening J'ost says editorially: "Tho feeling of our citizens was raised to fuvar heat by the execution of the four Cuban leaders. It will now rise to the boiling pitch. Cuba and her friends will hereafter need neither money nor men. Have these batchers no fear of the indignation of tho civilised world? Tbe report makes the blood cold." Washington, November 12.?Bishop HenBhaw'a Bieter ?od tbo wives of Rev. Dr. Barney, at Boston, and Rot. Dr. Post, at St. Loais, died at nearly tbe aame hoar. Commander R.

The Maho pao and tbe Manhattan ordered to be pat ia commission, and to wbich ofHcors! are already assigned, are fourth class screw vessels, iron olads, of five hun? dred and fifty tons burden, and carrying each two guus. These vessels will join the North Atlantic Squadron. Tbe vessels of tbe navy have been so much reduced iu number, that it has been found somewhat difficult to promptly reinforce our eqnudrons in cases of emergency, but iu tbe courso of a few days, all that can bo made available will b -ent to Cuban waters, in accord auco with tho determination of the Cabinet meeting, yesterday. Tbo Sec? retary of the Navy was to-day in consul? tation with tho different bureau officers, ou the subject of preparing the vosboIb for sea. The Government Beems to be more euruest thau heretofore iu protect? ing tho waters betweeu tbe United States and Cuba?tbe great highway of all nations?from Spanish molesta? tion. The Madrid Government being unable to enforce its authority in Cuba, tbnt of the United States will be com? pelled to assert its power in all cases where the iuterest of the citizous of this country, and its own honor, require de? cisive action. Tho President and nil the members of his Cabinet are in accord on this subject. It is not believud in official quarters that the contest in Cuba has, at any time, assumed tho conditions which amount to a war, in tbe sense of international luw, or which would show tbe existence of a tie facto political or? ganization of the insurgents, sufficient to justify a recognition of belligerency; but, us President Grant said, in one of his annual messages, the principle is maintained that the nation is its own j udge when to accord the right of bellig? erency, either to a people struggling to frco themselves from a government they believe to be opprossive, or to independ? ent nations at war with each other.
