"Our German Sfinator,1" Mr, Gus Williams' new play, is a board, laughter-pro-voking three act farce that offers the amusing comedian full scope for his especial view of humor,

J. Adolphtls Dinkel Is a well drawn cliaracter. He is a retired Get man brewer, whose greatest ambition is to lead

quiet

life, but is being propelled into public notice by a determined wife—a blustering, unending talker. Dinkel does not wish to be a Senator, but Mrs. Dinkel aspires to Washington society and wins the race, for the curtain, in the last act, falls upon the happy climax of Dinkel a Senator.

The story is thread-like, but serves little plot is demanded in a farce, and, as fnn abounds, the desired aim is achieved. Very diverting is Mr. Williams as Dinkel. The part suits him well and the situations are fuuny throughout. A-fe I

In addition to the leading character, there are other light parts, all of which are fairly enacted.

In the second act Mr. Gas Williams Introduced his latest comic songs, and was heartily applauded. His recital of "Somebody's Mother" was full of effect and replete with tenderness. Like John T. Raymond, Gus Williams, with all his love of the comic, understands well the power of pathos, and is reading of the selection named accorded the required feeling.

THE BACKS. IcC.

The crowd at the Fair Grounds was much larger yesterday than on any other day. The races and stock exhibitions were the principal features of the day. The committees viaited the different balls yesterday but we are unable to give a full list of premiums. The bicycle race was the most interesting feature of the day to most persons present.

F. Ross, C. Baur and Chas Peddle were the contestants. Chas, Peddle won the race.

The free for all race occupied the greater part of the afternoon. The following is theresult: ., Bay

In going the rounds at the Vigo County Fair we made a careful inspection of the stock, and found a very creditable exhibitions Prominent among the exhibitors were Messrs. Hern, King, Clore and Haines. r:-,.

We will just make mention of the herd of Mr. Jacob Hern, of Redman, Edgar County, Ills., who had on exhibition an assortment of stock consisting of cattle, sheep and hogs, and they area fine lot indeed. So far he has made three fairs and taken seventy three premiums. He contemplates making four more fairs and the prospects are flattering that he will average premiums in proportion to the previous figures. Among his herd of cattle special mention may lie made of his two year old bull, weighing 2,000 pounds, U®»o has talcen the first premium wherever exhibited, also a three year old cow with suckling calf, who has wore the red ribbon since on exhibition. Mr. Hern also has in His herd a two year old heifer which weighs 1,500 pounds and is paying .lifer strict attention to a two weeks old calf.

The balance of his exhibition cattle herd are due equal praise to those already mentioned.

In hogs, Mr. Hern exhibits twenty-four head, (the largest/Jj showing on the grounds) and has received twenty-two premiums. In this line he has flattering prospects of large sales. The stock consists of Poland, China and Berkshire.

Mr. Hern also had on exhibition thirteen .head of sheep, and with them has taken fifteen premiums. His Southdowfis superceded all others. iV ,,

Mr. Hem had the largest variety of stock oh the grounds of any exhibitor. The next herd to which our attention was called was that of Mr. Geo. F. King.ot Star Dairy fame (in Terre Haute) who lives just north of the city and runs a very cx tensive business. He had on exhibition at the Vigo County Fair .Grounds a herd of nine head of Alderney stock. For dairy and progressive purposes he elaims this strain of blood superior to all others. Among his herd special mention may be made of a thoroughbred Alderney bull, four years old, weighing 1,670 pounds. He is the finest of his breed we saw on grounds. From this strain of blood Mr. King has already possessed six cows who gave milk at fourteen months of age. He also has on Exhibition a very fine halfblood Alderney cow.

Mr. King is also an extensive farmer, having worked the last season about 325 acres of land this vsxclsive of pasture, etc. His dairy at present consists of forty five head of ijiilch cows.

Mr. E. Clore, of Fountain county, Ind., had eight head of short horn Durham cattle on exhibition.

Mr. Clore hns shown in five fairs this season and has been awarded 54 premium*. He feels particularly proud of hisbull "Elk-horn." He is a thoroughbred from the Oneida and Sadonia stock, the latter stock being considered the best ever brought into the 8tate.

Boron Young, a two year old of the Gwin-Young thoroughbred strain, is a very promising animal, as is also "Golden Crown." The last named animal took 1st premium at the Vigo Fair! He was sired by Duke of Richmond, owmd by Wm. Potts of Jacksonville, Ills, "Josie 2d," a five cow, first jgemium yesterday, and Mr. Clore wss offered $400 for her on the grounds. The offer wss refused.

was awarded

Jas. Gaines & Son, of Edgir County. IDs., also had a herd of ten bead on exhibition, which contained some very creditable stock. Tbey were of the short horn Durbani breed.

Hie large show case, in the Fine Art Hall, ?ontaiutag millinery goods, was'exhibited byMrKmil Baur, who has the

v-r:

U'ft iiln

TKi '5W

largest millinery house in Western Indiana, Ever since this house commenced business here, it has had an increasing trade, and at last it has been necessary to build a large addition in the rear of its commodious room on South Fourth street, besides utilizing the sccond floor for the wholesale department. Employing none but first-class trimmers has given the house a wonderful reputation for fine work. Ladies who in years gone by, were in the habit of sending to New York, Cincinnati or Chicago for their fine millinery. now leave their orders with this house. The fair management is indebted to this enter prising house for its handsome display of fine flowers, feathers, silks, ribbons, ornaments and some elegantly trimmed bonnets and hats, and the ladies of Terre Haute and vicinity were surprised at some of the new designs in the millinery art. The trimming department has recently been put under the charge of Miss Mollie Graham, who arrived last Tuesdoy from Chicago, and under whose supervision the fair work was done. We hope our lady friends will show their ... a tier

appreciation of Terre Haute industry by liberal patronage to Mr. Baur—at numbt 22 south Fourth Street.

SEWING MACHINES.

The sewing machines instituted one of the prominent attractions of Fine Art Hall. The Howe Co. were represented by Mr. Olin. Mr. Metzgar exhibited the Eldridge for Mr. Fisk. A. C. Vansant & Son exhibited the Domestic No. 8, Wheeler &• Wilson, Remington & Seywalt machines. Mr. R. W. Lundy, general traveling agent for the Domestic Sewing Machine Company presided over one of the Light Running Domestics and executed some of the finest samples we have ever seen made at a county fair. Metzgar, Olive and the Vanstant's all made creditable specimens of work, and each received a fair share of the attention of those interested in sewing machine's. The sewing machine men were all very pleasant and quiet. Avoiding everything of a personal character they seemed bent on advertising their par ticular machine and demonstrating their manj' excellencise.

—At the fair grounds yesterday in the last race, quite a serious accident occur ed. The crowd on the quarter stretch pressed far into the track, and as the horses came around Mr. Clay Moss of Paris, Ills., stepped forward to see the termination of the heat. He failed to notice the last horse Polly Wisliard coming in and was caught by the wheel of the sulky, thrown out the shaft, and en tirely over the Sulk y, his foot catching in the wheel. He was dJagged about 30 feet before the horse was stopped. His inju| ries are quite severe, but probably not fatal. Dr. Crapo was called to attend.

The Rev. G. P. Peale of Danville, Ind., will preach tomorrow morning and evening at the Christian Chapel. Morning subject: "Religious Common Sense Evening subject: A Startling announcement to the Moralist." The Davis family will furnish tho music. The public is cordially invited.

D. A. P. has enjoyed itself hugely

on the Maine election. The spicy paragraghs sparkling and foaming with the milk of human kindness towards the Republican party were phenomenal. The NEWS man sat down with a sickly smile covering his cherubic face and inwardly said, •When lh« last roll it» called we'll be there.'*

Oim Greenback friends will jollify Saturday and the Gazette hopes Democrats will turn out and help them rejoice over a victory they both have won.—D. A. P.

O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud!
