Fine Horse* at the State Fair. Mr. W. J. Carter, the “horee reporter” of the Richmond Times, who was one of the judges of horses at the recent State Fair, writes as follows to his paper: “The twenty-sixth annual Fair of the South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical Society began at Columbia on Monday, the 12th., and closed on Friday, the 16th. The ex hibits were good, but the attend ance was not so large as it should have been, as the depres sion caused by political disturb ances and heavy decline in cot ton values kept many thousands at home who would otherwise have been out for a gay time, all bent on seeing the sights at the fair. Rare autumn weather / ,y"~(5lear, cool and bracing, ruled, and overcoats were donned as a matter of comfort. The horse department was in charge of Mr. W. C. Hinson, of Charles ton, and an unusually large number of exhibitors were on hand to contest for premiums in the show ring, many of the ex hibits being of high quality, es pecially those shown in light harness rigs. In the latter class Mr. 8. J Kimball, of Rock Hill, who is a master in his line, cap tured a number of ribbons both blue and red with teams put to gether and shown in the arena by himself. I expected to find a predominating interest in the thoroughbred horse, but soon learned that the trotter and gen eral purpose horse held the as cendancy for the reason that the breeders and farmers are be coming more practical and re cognize the increasing demand for the latter classes. The well bred trotting stallions brought from other States to this section and bred to native mares of tho roughbred lineage has been pro ductive of good results as shown by the class of horses exhibited. In the class for thoroughbred stallions, three years old and over, but two entries were re ceived, and the blue ribbon went to Niagara, a stoutly built chest nut ten years old, by Luke Blackburn, out of Ivy Leaf, by Imp. Australian, the rei rib bon going to James Cayce’s Governor Hampton, a well-fin ished chestnut, twenty years old, by Planet, out of Merry Wave, by Jonce Hooper.” “There were a number of en tries in the classes for standard trotting stallions and some good horses were shown but the chest nut stallion Highland Red, nine years old, by Red Wilkes, dam Lizzie, by Harrodsburg Boy, clearly outclassed his fields and captured several blue ribbons. He made a particularly good showing in the class for best stallion with four of his get. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores.

A remarkable freak in moon phases was noted in the month of February, 1866—a month which has gone into astronomi cal annals as “the month with out a full moon.” In that year January and March each had two full moons, but February none. A writer in a leading as tronomical journal uses the fol lowing language in describing it: “Do you realize what a rare thing in nature it was? It has not happened before since the beginning of the Christian era, or probably since the creation of the world. It will not occur again, according to the comput ations of the Astronomer Royal, of England, for—how long do you think? Not 'until after 2,600,000 years from 18661” A Million Friends.
