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.

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”
