THB FAIR-THIRD DAT.-The exercisesof the Fair closed last evening about 5o'clock. The last day was the most suc¬

cessful. The Fair seeded to have im¬proved day after day as it progressed.The Fair opened with a very large crowd,and this crowd remained dense until theend. The awarding of the premiumswas a most interesting feature. We aropleased to say that many of the prizeswere borne off by ladies and gentlemenfrom this city. Mr. J. M. Crawford re¬ceived tho most valuable prize-the silvergoblet-presented by tho Chamber ofCommerce of Charleston, for tho beBtten bales of cotton. Mr. Richard Tozergot a gold medal for his eugine. Mr. R.O'Neale, Jr., received a prize for his twoyear old colt uud for his specimen ofrice. Captain J. C. Bell received a pre¬mium for his one year old colt, and otherColumbians were awarded handsome pre¬miums.The whole affair ended with a display

of horsemanship on tho part of a bodyof citizen riders, under the command ofCol. Haskell. A son of Generul WadeHampton, about eleveu yours old, at¬tracted admiration for his bold horse¬manship, and, we behove, received theprize for good 1 .ding.The Post Band contributed much to

the enlivening of tho occasion by excel¬lent music. We are glad to say, in con¬clusion, that tho Fair was a great moraland material success. But we regret tohave to add, that a sad accident occurredjust after the oloso of the Fair proper.Mr. Willie Gnigoard was severely injur-ed by the fall of his horse. With thissad exception, the Fair began and couti-unod and ended most auspiciously. Cre-dit is due to tho Chief of Police, Mr.John Glaze, for the order that prevailedon the grounds. This Fair has been mostgratifying. It is now firmly established,and year after year let it grow hotter andbetter.Among the machines that wo noticed

at the Fair, was the Hinkley Family Knit-ting M. chine. This is one of those de¬vices to lessen labor, that are now notuncommon. It is cheap, durable, usefulaud not liable to get out of order. It iswarranted to knit anything and the workis as good, if not superior to hand work.It knits socks at the rate of two pairs perhours. Dr. J. W. Thomas, AbbevilleCourt House, is the agent, The pricej is $30.
