flTIXX ▲ LARGE ATTENDANCE.
30.000 People on the Ground* Yerterday •aid the Receipts 314,000-The Winners of the Various Races.
The crowd at the state fair yesterday afternoon we* the lamest ever seen on the grounds, and there was a remarkable Immunity irom accidents and disasters. The races were somewhat disappointing, as there was a great deal ot unnecessary gearing and ve* a lions deiays, and they were not especially closely contested. The 2:37 trot was Won by Dick Wilson's "Spurrier Boy,” who took the second, third, and fourth heat*. J. T. McCoy's ••Lucie Jackson” winning the ftrst, and H. W.Csylor's ''Flora C.” getting third money, the time being 2:11*. 238, and 2:39^ In the three minute trot, the contest was verytame, Buck Dickerson's "Double Lick" winning in three straight heats, with 3. O. Fleming * “Pete Whetstone'’ second, and Frank Ana•trong's "Lady S.” and W. P. Lewis' ‘Joe Wateon" distanced after the second beat. Time—2:38,

The treasurer of the board reports that the receipts yesterday from the sale ol atliui**ion tickets and railroad coupon ticket* were in exeevs of flt.OOO, the largest amount ever taken in by the fair in one day. and fS.OW more than the receipts Oil Thurskay of last year. Calculating the number ol children's and exhtbiter*’ tickets and “dead heads” it la estimated that the receipts Indicate an attendance on yesterday of at least 35,000, and this crowd has probably never been exceeded. The railtoads last night could not carry out all the people who wanted to go homeland many were unwillingly comuelled to remain in the eity
oror night.
The attendance to-day was unusually large for Friday, but of course not nearly so large as yesterday. The morning trains brought !n a great many people, and the attendance from the City is more gcqeral than on any day this week. Vp to S o'clock this aitemoon tli* street cars going to the grounds were uncomfortably crowded, and the outside venicla* also did a thriving business The crowd this alter noon will probably aggregate ItyflO people.

A TEDIOUS DELAY. A Woman Defendant In Jail Nine Months
and Still Untried.
Mrs. Mary A. Humphries was arrested last January on a charge ot violating the pension laws, and continuing to draw a pension after she had married a man named Hillman. The arrest was made on the 16th, and after a stay at the reformatory she was arraigned before Commissioner Jordan and was committed for grand jury action. Since then the case has been hanging fire, and all this time the woman has been cooped up in the women's quarters at the jail, tin unwholesome, uncanny place at best, and her imprisonment has already lasted nine mouths, and still there is no immediate prospect of trial. Mrs. Humphries claims that has been neglected by her atttjmcys. t'pon recommendation of John E. Lamb, she retained Mr. Walsh, paying him $40, cash, in the

Varying Accounts. [Philadelphia Record.] Mr. R. P. Porter gives the Press an account of a recent convention of English workingmen in Hull which he attended. He says: “The delegates comprised a thoughtful, well-dressed, and, I should think, superior set of men. They are evidently the very pick of the British trades unions. Nearly ail wore black coats of diagonal worsted, bound with braid. With few exceptious they could boast gold jratch-chains; some had rings. They were as clean, wellbrushed and as nicely polished a set of men as I ever saw at a convention/' This description of a labor convention in England does not quite tally with the accounts which Mr. Porter and other protectionists have given of the dreadiul condition to which workingmen have been reduced in that country by iu iree-trade policy, in a speech in the last congress, Judge Kelly testified, on his own knowledge, that the working people of England were dying off with “constitutional amentia for want of food.”
The French-Canadian Movement. The Portland (Me.) Press speaks of a homeward movement of the Frencb-Canadians in this country, which may have important results. For some time the increase of the Canadian-French population in New England has been a matter of interestiug comment, both among the native-born people of New England and the French themselves. Not long ago a French-Canadian newspaper of Lower Canada delighted its readers with & prophecy of the conquest which their race is to make iu New England. It is true that this class of immigrants is increasing, and tiiat they are remarkably prolific. But now several of the leaders are exerting themselves to draw the French back to Canada, that there, iu their old home, the people may build up a new France. A Dangeron* Coast.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
GREAT LOCKOUT THREATENED
Chicago Packing Houses to Close Dow* and Reopen Only on the Ten-kear Plan—Bloodshed Feared.
Chicago, October 1.—The statement ie published tlua afternoon that a great lock-out el tbe Mock yards has been decided upon to me time during this month, when the packing houses will all close down and remain . lofted until the question of eight hours or teu hours ie settled. Due of tbe large packers said this morning: Trouble is. ot course, expected. It will be
a long flg^it. but we can't run ou eight hours
with the other houses around us running on ten hours. So tha trouble might as well come all at
once, as to drag along until we are compelled W shut down by losses. It is likely that several of the house* will start up In a small way on tbe
feu-hour schedule and make the fight.” The Chicago Packing & Ihuvirton company has
already shut down for repair*. That is wn»t all the packing company officers say, and this is probably the secret ol the denial of the packers that this is to tie a lockout. The houses will
shutdown one after another—for repairs. When
they open it will be ou ten hours’ time or not at all. At this time of the year it is customary for
all the houses which have been ntnnlng all summer to shut down for repair*. This October,
