Items from the Fair. The entries of stock arui other articles for premiums is not quite as large as last year, probably owing to “hard times." We note a fine display of Reapers and Mowers from N. Warn er’s “Liberal Corner,” the following carriages: A two-seateJ open buggy; single-seat top buggy; one piano-box open buggy; two coal box open buggies, bracket-front; one coalbox open buggy, deep front—all manufactured by our liberal townsman; Norman Warner, and are equal to any Eastern work. We also noticed in the field a display cf farm implements and machinery, such as Wagons, Plows, Seeders, Cultivators, Haivesters, Threshers, Rakes Clothes-Washers, Wringers, Churns, Fannins-Mills, Cooking and Parlor Stoves, etc., etc. In Floral Hall, the first thing that attracts attention is the fine display of Dry Goods, Boots & Shoes, Dress Goods; and Plain and Paucy Cassimeres, for men’s wear, from the enterprising firm of F, J. Sears & Co.; also a splendid case of Boots & Shoes from Willey & Sigler’s; some fine specimens of Harness from Win. H. & C, Rhoades’ shop. The representation of Squashes, Beets. Cabbarres. Potatoes and other vegetables, and the varieties of Apples and other fruit, with the Corn and other cereals, and the almost endless variety us Preserves and Canned Fruits, with a fine display of Honey, shows to the observer that we live in a prosperous county, where the people no longer are forced to live on corn-dodgers, as the pioneers did, but that literally we have a land “flowing with milk and honey.” And, leaving the substantiate, we take a look at the Needle-work, as shown in the variety of Chemisettes, Robes, Skirts, Tidies, Quilts, Spreads, Pillow-slips, Shams, and the thousands of useful and ornamental articles iu this line, with fairy baskets, card-mottoes, Hair and Zephyr Wreaths and Flowers, we get an idea of the happy homes of this prosperous people, as compare 1 with the rudely constructed hut or logcabiu of our fathers. Ji'lhe pyramid of Flowers and Foliage that adorned the center of Floral Hall shows something more than amateur cultivation iu the floral art. There we see a variety of choice house-plants, fragrant boquets, and beautiful designs in the choicest selections from Nature’s great garden, all of which has a benign influence on the civilization of the age. Leaving Floral Hall toward the Amphitheatre we pass the different booths of pop corn, peanuts and candy that aro patronized by the young lover in furnishing his sweet-heart “something to chaw on” during their swing in the “sky-scraper” that keeps up its eternal round for “only ten cents a ticket for two.” Snugly ensconced in a corner we see a show tent,—“Theatre,” on the show card.--We enter and find the proprietor just waking up for a performance. What it was we had not time to investigate. The troupe‘Prof. Frederick’s Great Quadruplianton,” with a Minstrel Comb Ii ition, go to the Francesville Fair week after next. Thursday ffternoon a game of base baii between the “Tig'rs” of Gooi jj land, Capt. A. Roberts, and thv“Clumsies,” of Remington, Capt. J. Cherry, was played on the grounds, with Will Price as Umpire, resulting in a score of 10 to 19 iu favor of the “Clumsies” at the close of the seventh inningThe game was brought to a close by an accidental collision between two of the players, resulting iu the fracture of a collar-bone for a Mr. Fish of Goodland. But in being fortunate enough to fall into the hands of Dr. J. H. Loughridge for treatment, the injured man is now doing well. There were many other incidents attending the Fair that we would give but for lack of time. Yesterday the attendance was about two thousand persons, and 30-day will probably be as large.
