The western and northwestern portions of Blooming ton are building up rapidly hundreds of houses

havti oeeu constructed there within tbe 'Mart three years, and the work of laying out streets aud building houties that are rented before they are iiniahed is going on as rapidly as ever. In fact the growth of tbe town is now west and north. The further the town extends in these directions the more difficult it is for little children to wade through mud aow and pelting rain, to the schosbr kept at the extreme end of South College Avenue. Some time ago lots wee bought for a school lioato on west 7i;b street, in order to provide against this hardship' of sending little children a mile or nior! to school, but thus far nothing baa been heard of the building that was to be erected there. Will somii cine tell some of the people interested, what, if anything, is to be done for their relief?

While the managers and oflicers of tbe Monroe County Fair Association worked like heroes to secure the success of the exhibition last week, the real cause of its uuoeess was the matchless Fall weather that prevailed, and for which a higher power than is found in Monroe county may be said to be responsible. With our sticky day soil, just one day of rain would have utterly ruined tha Fair but with the clear sky and warm sunshine with which we were favored, success was assured, and one of the best Fairs in the history of the county was tbe result. Tbe lesson tanght here is that the weather and the managers of an outdoor exhibition should always make an effort io work in unison. Tobe Smith went up to Indianapolis last week to purchase a

stock of kid dolls;, etc., from the agent of a New York manufacturer who met him mere, the fBOgress is gratified to know tbat our old-time friend, Tobe, in taking a new lease on life, and after beiner slightly "under the weather" for a year or so is agaiu on tbe up-grade and on the road fo robust health.

The railroad companies will have to pay the necessary salaries. Of the four new physi cians who have recently hnng out their shingles an Bloomington : Drs.

There was a large crowd on the grounds Wsdnesday, and the county pace was won by W. W. Harris' hoise, "George P.," time 3:37 J and 3:24 ; E. M. Allen, second. The gnieu trot was won by C. H. Ousler's mare "Nellie," withe second money to Kirk Miers' stallion, "Doctor E." The 2:40 pace was won by T. S. Harris' "Speedy Bill." Thursday the attendance was Ihe largest ever seen upon the grounds, and the principal interest was concentrated in the running lace which came off late in the evening. The pacing race for a purse of f 1200 resulted as follows : Dr. bniaer .1st, owned by Joe Cron ; F. Stnittmore 2d,"owned by S. T. Z rflmm ; Jack Spratt 3d, owned by E. M. Allen ; time, 3:03L For the ruuning race three horses were entered : "Tom Farr," a black ridden by the colored jockey, Jones; "Mollis D.," cheutuut sorrel, ridden by Hovioire ; and a bay named "Idaho 8." ridden by Guff. Tbe four heats that followed were full of excitement. The saddle girth on Idaho 8. broke, Huff fell to the ground, and Mollie D., enveloped in a cloud of dust, paused directly over him without inflicting a scratoh. The mare from which the rider bad fallen kept on at a full run until opposite tbe lunch stand of tbe ladies of the Walnut St. Pres. church, when it made a leap over the embankment and with a bound went through the tent, knocking men and women right and left, but miraculously inflicting injury upon but one, a Mrs. Gillie, who was struck full in the face by one of the racer's knee. .Her injuries, which in the excitement that followed were supposed to be fatal, have been found to be but slight. ; On Friday the $200 free for all pacing race drew an immense crowd of people. For the pace there were three entries : Nat. U. Hill's pretty sorrel mare, "Flora Hill;" "Redwood," owned by East li a in of Clayton, Ind.; and "Bessie M., the projiefty of Pittman of Bedford. "Flora Hilt" carried off tbe prise in 2:29i A purse of 100 in the free for alt trot was awarded to "Flora Wilkes," owned by Jacksoi of Lafayette ; time 2:59. When "everything goes," at a fair, a reunion or other gathering, you will find that everybody goes to see it This may be very wicked, but it is the way of the warld. If you want to make a county fair pay, you roust throw it wide open to the world. People can see cab" bagel and pumpkins of enormous size at any of the Bloomiogtou groceries without money or reflections, and, they are not, A. D. 1891, climbing over each other at a county fair to see specimens of the vegetable kingdom, or swine overburdened with lard. They demand excitement, and shrewd managers will supply their wants, don't you see? You needn't waste any sym pathy on people who lost their money to tba "fakirs ' wuo were on the fair ground till Thursday afj ternoon, for they expected to beat thews "innocent gamblers" at their own gameu nanus they'd served a life-apprenticeship at but they didn't do it, singular to relate! --The first running races ever seen on the Monroe county fair grounds were those of last Thursday afternoon, and the immense crowd ri-cusiiicd patient iy waiting till six o'chu-k to tee tbe fourth and deciding heat.
