INTRODUO'l'ORY.
The Thirteenth Annual Fair of the North Carolina AgriM
cultural Society will be held on the New Fair Groulldsnear
this city, on the 13th,14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th of
October next.
Tho Executive Committee, in making tms announce·
ment, cordially invite from an sources, contributions of
works of arts, new inventions, the products of the soil and
the mine, and of skilled labor in every branch of industry.
They solici~, especially, the C<Klperation of all who desire to
see our State occupy tbe position she is entitled to in the
eyes of the world, · and most especially the effort.! of the
women of our State.
It is not iutended here to reiterate arguments in su:pport
of the importance and usefulness of Agricultur&l SocIeties
and Agricultural Fairs. The world is progressing rapidly
around us and we seem not to know it or to care for it.
Capital and la.bor are lured to States beyond us, and our
"ast resources lie undisturbed and undeveloped. 'Vith a
.ariety of climate and soil to be found in no other State on
this continent, and nowhere else in the same space in the
known world; with a variety of agricultural products which
embraces everything essentIal to tbe existence and the com­fort
of man; with metn.lic and mineral wealth astoundin~ in
its proportions; with a water-power the marvel of pracbcal
minds, wasting its energies in its headlong, unobstructed
course to the sea; with excellent harbors; with our sounds and
rivers and bays and creeks abounding in the finest fish-with
all these, we are 8 poverty-stricken people and our State is
hardly known to the nations of the earth. 'Vbat boots it,
that our climate is mild and healthful i that our soil, in addi­tion
to the great staples of timber, cotlOll, tobacco, corn, rice, .
wheat, oats and the grasses, produces all the vegetables in
perfection, and fruits in endress variety; what though our
land is helLVY with the most precious metals and minerals­diamonds,
and corundum, and gold,nndsilver, and copper,.
and mica, and lead, and iron, nnd coal; what though na­ture
has furnished us with n water-power equal to tho re­quirements
of tho world, rolling steadily on the year
vu
• n
through; what though our harbors are capacious and of
easy access, lying in the very U chops of the sea j" what
though our fisheries are CBJ?8'ble of furnishing a. large r.r­tioD
of the world with their supplies-what, we say, 0 aU
these, if we are unable to develop them outselve5, or if we
fail to proclaim them to the world and to invite to the task
the labor and the capital which nre ever ready to respond
to the call of those who reany seek them?
As a means to the end here pointed to, the far-seeing and
the practical have ever regarded Agricultural Societies and
Agrlcultural Fairs as of tbe first importance j and in pro­portion
as they are fostered and sustrdned, will be thc"mcas-ure
of their good. ..
PERYANE!i'T r.oc.o\TlON.
'fhe Fair Grounds are now regarded as permanently
located. There can be no doubt of Raleigh being the
proper place at which to hold the }I-'airs. It is the capital
of tbe State i it is centra.l j it is accessible, by rea...~n of its
being the great railroad centre; it is one of the mosi
healthful places in the word, with its bracing climate and
excellent water; it is attractive, because of its public and
private buildings erected and in the course of erection, nod
Its public grounds and parks and cemetaries. It.! hotel
accommodatIon far surpasses that of a11Y other city or town
in the State; it bas the finest public halls in the State,
including two excellent theatres j and has two good bands
of music. •
DURIXG THE FAIR,
Visitors will have free ac~ to the capitol and capitol
grounds, including all the public offices, the legislative
halls, tho Supreme Court-room and library, the State
library, the geological museum and laboratory, to the
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, to the
Asylum for the Insane, to the Penitentiary and to all other
public places of interest. Our two theatres will be open, at
which elegant and refined musical and other entertainmenk;
will be given i and every night during the entire week, the
interesting and instructive meetings of the Society will be
held in the hall of the House of Representatives.
AT THE FAIR,
The attractions will be uDUSUal. Two excellent bands of
music will enliven the grounds; the trials of speed of
V1II
horses will be on a scale ana of a character heretofore
unparalleled- three thousand dollars being offered in pre·
miums in this department alone; and it is expec~ed that,
in addition to the large number of native competitors, (for
the encouragement of which great inducements are held
Qut,) there will be present on this occasion some of the
finest and fAstest horses in the country, as may be seen by
the time required to be made by those competing for the
large premiums. 'rhe trials of speed will iucInde
A HURDLE RACE
Of a most exciting and interesting character-the first race
of the kind in Ule history of our State Fairs. Many otber
novelties afO in contemplation, including a series of "Old
En~lish Sports," for the nmusement of the young. In
sbort, the Executi"e Committee are determined that this
Fair shall mark a new era in the history of our Fairs, and
be the most instructive, the most interesting, and the most
enjoyable occasion of the year.
nrF: Z'O:W }'AJR GROUSD5-SlTUATIOS.
The new li'air Grounds aro 011 an elevated plateau, one
mile and a quarter west from Raleigh, on tho Chapel Hill
road, and on the lino of the Richmond & Danyille (X. C.
Division,) and Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line Railroads. Tho
elevation of the site is greater than that of the dome of the
Capitol, and much greater than tnat of the surrounding
country-ru;suring always fresh, invigorating breeZed. On
the grounds aro seyeral hold springs of excellent water,
whicfl will be neatly fitted up, and will he utilized for the
benefit of visitors.
The enclo..'mre consi~l" of fifty-fh·o acrc~ substantially
fenced in, und will be laid out in the most artistic style, in
walks anJ. drives, and will be otherwise bcam.ified by Capt. e. B. Denson, (i:"Ontluctor of the department of }j'loriculture
of the State JlJl"icultltTol Journal}-tho intention being to
make the now Fair Grounds a ~plcndid parI;, the faith of the
8oci.cty heing pledged to that effect.
Tin: lH:II.DIXG~.
Tho buildingi:i will incluuc four for offices, &c.-two for
each of the principal (,Iltrance~, to be connected by grand
arches; an ExhibItion Hal! (octagonal,) 300x-!-! feet, two
stories high; the (;raIH\ St:.md, 300:t4l ft'et, three sto!i.es

high--{the first floor of this building will be used for offices,
saloons, &c.-the second is for the use of s~ectators, and
will comfortably seat 3,000 persons-the thn'd floor will
consist of reserved scats, fitted up with comfortable chairs,
to which a nominal extra. charge will be made.} Machin·
cry HaU, 200x44 feet, one story high; a two-story Conserv��atory,
filled with the choicest and rarest exotics; a Judges'
Stand, throe stories high; a portable Speaker's Stand; a
Music Stand; 200 excollent Stalls for Horses and Cattle;
75 pens for Sheep, IIogs, &c. ,In addition to these there
will be erected a Passenger Shed 200 feet long. 'rho Music
Stand will be contiguous to the Grand Stand, and the other
structures will be appropriately located, so as not to obstruct
the vicw from the Grand St.·md. The branch of the Ral­eigh
& Augusta Railroad will pass through the ceuter of
Machinery Hall, to facilitate the unloading and loading of
1nnchincry. 'rhe threo Hoors of the Grand SLund, the nu­merous
offices and exh ibition halls, and the large passenger
shed, will nflord ample shelter in case of rail1-storlUg~
THE TIACE·TRACIL
The track for the trials of speed of horses, ~rill be upon
the most approved plan. '1'he plan Was drawn by a Civil
En~ineer of New York City, under the direction of George
"'ilkcs, E!;q., Editor of the New York Spirit oj the 7lmes,
and was prc.-;ented gratuitousl.,' to the Exccutive Committee
by :J. friend of the Society. The following is an o.ccurate
cx})lanation of the track:
.Jeugth of track, 880 yard':!, or half t\ mile exactly.
Width of track from (oncu,po3t to outside, 4() feet.
From im·ide to insidt' of track, lengthwise, :lrjO yard.;.
From inside to lll'ddc of track, cro:;3wi"c, )..I.(} yard.~
Length of ('llr\"~, :!~O ynras each.
Length of ~tn\ight :"itlV~' 220 yards cacho
The straight sides will he a gentle grade from iuside to
(\utsillc.
Curycs \\'ill be grmie<1 one inch to the foot, from iU.liide •
to outsidl'.
The fen<:e,p0til on the in"ido of the track will bt~ exactly
three feel fl'om the jlHjidc of the track, so that a hor"u going
three fl,\·t from the fence, will go exactly 880 yard)!, or half
8 mile.
Tl'he lx-d of the track will be a! the Ix-st m:lteri;l\ tho
p~trpo.~e heing to make it anI) of tho l>e-t in Aml·rics.
x
All the bllildin~ above named lU'e in course of constr.c~
tiOD, several of them finished, and tbe grading of the trock.
is completed. A large force is on the entire work, led by
competent superintendents, under the personal supervision
of an nctive Building Committee.
ACCKSS TO F.\lR OROUSDS.
The Grand Entrances to tbe Fair Grounds ate on the
sides nearest the city-the one on the Chapel Hill road, on
the south front, the other at the northern corner of tho
ea8tern Cront,atthewestern terminuso! a 6nenewroad about
100 yards long, to be built by the Society, connecting with
the Lower Hillsboro road, near Temple's Fork. Those roads
will be found in fine condition, affording excellent, pleasant
drives. The FfLir Grounds will therefore he a.pproached by
two fine turllpike roads, and 8. double-track first .. dass fail ..
road, formed by tbe Richmond & Danville (N. C. Division,)
and the Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line Roads, which run
parallel by the southern front of the grounds, and from
which a branch has been constructed leading inw the Fair
Grounds, where passengers and freight will be dolivered and
received; then there are the four regular lines of milroad
converging at thnt point-that from Charlotte, that from
j.'ayelooville, that from Goldsboro; and Ulat from Weldon,
with their numerous connoctions leading from the four
1)Qints of the compass.
In the p€"rformance of the duties imposed upon them, the
Executive Committee have huen diligently at work, as may
be soon from the preceding.
The Premium List has been carefully revised aud can­sidcl'
8bly extended by the addition of many new and at­tractive
features.
The amount of premiums exceeds ten thousand dollnrs­double
that of any previous Fair.
Competent supervisors have been appointed for the seve­ral
departments, and great care will be exercised in the
selection of judges, the object being to secure tho scn'ices of
.those who willllttend and faithfully dischlU'ge the duties
88Si~ncd them.
LIberal arro.ngemcnts hav:,e been effected with aUf rail­road
auUlorities; full particulars of which will be published
elsewhere.
Nothing wjll be left undone by the Executive Committee
La make the Thirteenth Annunl Fair a credit to the Stale;
and they again urge the co-operation of all friends of the
enterprise.
