THEATRIC.—Tho

Metropolitan Com

pany is playing to good houses this week, and giving general satisfaction. A splendid bill is given to-night, opening with the beautiful romantic French dran.a, en« titled "Tho Marble Hoart," and concluding with the laughable farce of the "Two Buzzards" This is the last night but two.

MAYOR'S COURT.—James Chambers, a stranger and suspicious looking individual, was before the Mayor on charge of vagrancy, and deposited his carpet sack as security for an assessment made. Reuben ustico, for a bad drunk, handed in $T,OS worth of stamps. Benjamin Snider was guilty of the ungailant action of assaulting his wife, for which he was drawn, on sight, in the sum of $8,00.

CoNFtDENCE GAM*.*-Ye«terday morn" ihg an elderly man, named Eppley, from Wabuh county, Illinois, arrived in town en route to Visit his relatives in Indianapolis. Of course he could not resist the temptation of stopping a few hours to see Bights in our beautiful town. Coming up from the depot he fell in with a young man, and to make a long story brief—the young man was well acquainted with the old man'sfolks at Indianapolis-knew

Jake

and Tom—they lived on Illinois street, &c. The young man was shcrt—had a little bill to pay—wanted to borrow $125,00 at the same time producing a $5,000 government bond, which would be left a® collateral security. The $125,00 were counted out, the old man took the bond, and tho two were to meet at the depot and take tho three o'clock train. The old man was at the train promptly on time but tho young man did not make his appearance. It was not until then that the Illinois man began to smell a good sized rodent. He made a critical examination of his green and gilt paper, and was dumbfounded to find it was a certificate or policy in the U. S. Accident Insurance Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., and a clever imitation of a government bond. Informntion was filed with the police—one of whoin thinks he knows the gentleman —and we hope tho

fellow

Avho was going

to take tho lllinoisan right where his friends lived, but in*toad took him whore he lived—his pocket, may.soonjbo caught.

PERSONAL.—In addition to tho nowspaper mon mentioned in yosterday's paper, in attendance on the fair, we were pleased to meet yesterday W. K. Holloway, of the Indianapolis Journal, George Harding, of tho Indianapolis Herald. Wad Beach, of the Columbus, O., Journal Charles Hinns, of the Chicago Times, Dr. Bland, of tho North Western Farmer, Indianapolis, and J.T. F. Wright, of tho National Agriculturist, Pittsburg.

MUSICAL RUNAWAY.—Yesterday morning the Pruirie City Band started for tho Fair Grounds in a wagon,. Asthoy moved off the drummer gave a tap on the drum as asigiml for tho tune to begin. The nextHAp was- with bis hoad.on Ibo ground^ Thaliorses, unused to suuh sounds, started on 2resto time for a half mile strain, when thoy wore happily chocked and made a de capo uiovomonl to tho place of starting without further damage than the powdoring with dust of the hoad of tho unfortunate somersaulting drutnmor.

SECOND DAY—uou PREPARATION! AND CONFUSION—ENTRIES AND

MENTS—DOINGS

ARRANGE

THE EXECUTIVE

COMMITTEE—THE TROTTING AND FACING MATCHE8 IN THE AFTERNOON

The second day of the biate Fair opened out with the very finest weather, bat with just as great confusion, noise, bustle and chaos as on the first day, and to attempt to see anything was mere nonsense, except as it forced itself under your nose, on trucks being wheeled hither and thith er, to appropriate positions.

The number of entries are too large to be reported with anything like certainty, but at twelve o'clock the Secretary informed us they were twenty per cent, larger than at any previous Fair when the books were closed. This plethora of articles is in all departments, except the Floral Hall, which would bo a poor affair were it not for the exhibition of Heinl brothers, noticed yesterday. For instance, in the Farm Products Hall, there are fourteen different entries for the premium en best half bushel of whito corn, and this Hall usually sparsely furnished, and naturally expected to be thinner this year on ae. eount of the drouth, is literally buried bo neath an avalanche of golden esculents.

Tho Miscellaneous Hall Is assuming shape under the care of Mr.T. E. Dawson. The excelsior carriage works of A. J. Welch exhibits some splendid speci' mens of workmanship, which have most excellent companions in a number of carriages and buggies of B. C. Shaw, from his Indianapolis manufactory. There aro any number of endless varieties of Sewing Machines—Whoolor & Wilson's, Grover & Baker, Singer's, etc.—and very queerly from their cards it appears that all or nearly all took the "highest medal at the French Exposition." There is a hand power loom which kicks up the most awful racket imaginable, and attracts a crowd from tho same reason that an earthquako would create an excitement. A gentleman is on hand with a washing machine, afflicted with eocaethes loqaendi, which takes the strange form of asserting that he caanoi|''talk his machine off it has to win its way by its sheer excellence. This unfortunate tongue-tied youth is to bo pitioJ, but the sympathies of the public would find a bettor object if they should fasten upon the poor ear-besieged visitors in that locality. Pumps, Knitting machines, and thousand and one things aro boing fitted up in this hall, and when nil are arranged it will be among the most interesting departments of the exhibition.

The Fine Art llall, under the personal watch care of r. L. G. Hager, is nearer completion than any other, and the ensemble is exceedingly beautiful. This morning the various halls will be thrown open to the public, and it will be our duty to accompany our friends through thom, and attempt a description of each in detail as far as may be possible or practicable. Yesterday afforded no opportunity for this sketch.

The live stock department, or at least that portion occupied by horses, is the centcr of'public expectation. At noofl yesterday there were three hundred and ninety-eight entries, exclusive of poultry. Of horses there is the really fine stud of L. L. Dorsey, embracing Rollo and Rosa Gold Dust. Dimmock, tho old jockey, is here with Silas Rich and Lizzie Ronick Tom Oliver with Mollie, Dolly Dutton, and a grey gelding Isaac B. Loder has Belle Loder and Bay Logan, and yesterday Hamilton Jackson, of Hondricks county, entered Red Buck for the one thousand dollar premium. This premium has been increased to fourteen hundred dollars, three hundred going to the second and one hundred to the third best horse: the first trotter carrying off the one thousand. For fast pacers there are Loga Tender, Billy Boyco, Dan Voorhees Lady Alexander and Hoosier Tom.

In tho cattlo line there is an excellent display of Ayrshire, short horn Durham, Devon and Hereford cattle. Of the latter herd of Mr. Aston, of Elyra, is attracting great attention from persons who revel in good beei and oreamy milk. The stalls of the cattlo ond of the Fair Ground are all full and^oxtra ones were required to be erocted yesterday* From present indications the competition for premium* in that ring will be smartly 00ntested,and whoovor carries off the ndxifebon may consider it a lawful prize.

In tbo sheep line there are several pens of most excellent Spanish Merino full brod one the property of Mr. Cooper, of Vormillion county, Illinois. To be "wrinklod" is the great honor of a Spanish buck, revealing tho purity of blood, and in tho way of "hard linos" Mr. Coop or's shoep aro among tho best. Theru are also a number of cottswold and fino wool, tho property of various gentlomon— among them a buck for which fifteen hundred dollars was paid sevoral woeks since. In tho fine wool lino there are two or three pons which aro full of the biggest sheep wo ovor saw. They are re markablo for "breadth, depth and thickness." Each of their fleeces has wool enough to sot the Democratic party of tho whole country wild for an age. The sheop pens are vory attractive, and a fellow who remembers the savorinoss of sun dry mutton chops or a roast with mint sauee, cannot help, stray where ho may ovor Uio grounds, "to return to his muttons."

In the hog lino there is a large exhibi tion of whito Chostors, Suffolks and Cheshire*. Thoir self-satisfied grunts are listened to with sonorous admiration by those who rovol in pork. Not being a hearty admirer of scrofula, oither in the shape of "kings evil," or a roast pig, we cannot discourse as eloquently as some on that animal, which never met its deserts, except on one occasion, when they it (forded a relief for his Infernal Majesty.

The cattle are in care of Lot S. Bay less, of Fort Wayne, a connoisseur, who hag reduced their raising and culture to a fine art. He will be ready to give all inquirer* full information about everything in bis department.

It is impossible and impracticable at present to sketch any of the departments. The time for entries was extended until nine o'clock last might, and up tothe very last second, excited individuals wh# "had things" wore paying their little per cent*

ages and rashiag their articles oat tothe Fair Groutidi Among the late arrivals were some pianos from Trayser,Robinson ft Co, Indianapolis, one of them an Ir-ving-piano, with the double octave coup-

ler. I f} 1 The gates were closed yesterday against every one but enterers, and

during the en

tire day we should judge that about five thousand people—but few more or lessvisited the grounds. As the business of seeing and doing the Fair actually commences this morning, we may look for something like a crowd.

BUSINESS MEETING.

The Executive Committee of the Stale Board, consisting of Hon. W. u. Donaiason.Hon. James D. Williams, Josoph Poole and President Hamrick, have had several meetings for the decision of various matters pertaining'to the Fair. At the first one, held on Monday at three o'clock, p. M., the rates for vehicles were fixed at fifty cents for double carriages twenty-five cents for single carriages and twenty-five cents for horses under saddle. A premium of twenty dollars was also offered for heavy draft horses two years old and under threo.

On motion of Mr. Poole, the builders of the ampitheater overlooking the race track were given the eutire proceods of the stands underneath,sold out to various parties.

It was decided that the citizens of Torro Haute should pay over to the State Board the amount of money which tho railroads centoring in Indianapolis pay when the Fair is hold at that place. This amounts to $1,560.

A called meeting of the Board was held at the Terre Haute House on Monday night, at which O. F. Mahew, of Indianapolis, was appointed Instructor of Committees and Receiver of Reports.

At 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, the Committee held another meeting, at which the matter of how the horses should go, in the competition for the ono thousand dollars, was discussed. A proposition that it be left to the decision of a majority of the owners of horses entering for the race, was rejected, and it was agreed to hold another meeting at 11 o'clock, to which tho members of the Vigo County Board should be admitted. At eleven o'clock this joint meeting was held, and the vexed question was thoroughly debated, the deliberation resulting in tho adoption of a resolution that, if no mora than six horses were to start, they should go together, but if more than six, eacli should go alone, and its time taken by the Judges. This decision will probably take Dorsey's "Rosa Gold Dust" out of the ring, as Mr. Dorsey says he will net tret ,her on that track .with so many horses. A great many peoplo who have heard of the marvelous powers of this mare, are quite anxious to seo hor use her "drumsticks."— (That's horse talk.)

Hamilton Jackson was permitted to enter the horse "Red Buck" for the Presi*1 dent's premium, but as he has hurt his leg, if he shall not be able to trot, the entry fee will be refunded. Messrs. A. Webb, J. W.Smith and T. P. Murray, were appointed Judges of the afternoon races.

AFTERNOON RACES.

In the afternoon at two o'clock according to the published programme, tbo best pacing races—4 geldings ran for a purse of twenty dollars. No very remarkable time was expected, but certainly there might have been something a little ahead of three and a half minutes looked for. The second best horse got a premium of ten dollars. Four horses went off, and made tho following time:

A black horse, owned by Jesse Miles, Bowling Green, Indiana, made his mile in 3.36 a dun gelding belonging to John Strough, Poling, Indiana, scored 3.37 a bay mare belonging to Mr. S. A. Cord, of Rushville, got around in 2.41, and took the twenty dollars, while tho second best was a brown gelding of Z. T. Lincoln, Williamsport, which doublod tho track in 2.48.

At three o'clock the test trotting double teams were to be shown, but only two entries were made, and when called only oae of them made its appearance. The horses were "Moody," owned by Shockensee, of Louisville, and

Belle Collins,"

owned by Mr. Kent, of this county, wo beliove. Want of opposition failed to bring out their host nerve,ando nly 3.01 was tho announcement of the judges.

Tho four o'clock saddle horses woro for premiums of twenty dollars for racking horse and more respectively. Tho liret premium was won by A. Allon, of Bainbridge, and the lattor by Mr. Shockensec, of Louisville. These races closod the fair for the day and what visitors thero wero turned their heels homeward.

INCIDENTAL.

Tho oity is filling up with appalling rapidity, and what to do with those still to como is a vory serious quostion. Hotel accommodations, especially the at Terre Hauto House, are already cramped.

Confidence men, thieve"9 and pickpoekets are among the distinguished arrivals. Yesterday afternoon Marshal Bisbing arrested two men named'Frank Christy and Frank Purcell, who wero attempting a new "little joker" game called "the patent tobacco bo*." They wero remanded to jail, and will be tried this morning. One of the men had on his person a full set of burglar's tools.

An old gentleman from the country aamed Eppley was diddled out of one hundred and twenty-five dollars at the depot by one Miller, on the old couddence dodge of lending money on a bond, which of course was worthless.

An assault was made on one of the police of the fair grounds named Daniel Miller, by a burly fellow calling himself Williams. He was arrested and tried on the spot by a Justice, and fined $10 80, which amount he paid without a whimper. Two or three drunken men were arrested, and confined in the temporary calaboose erected on the groudds.

There is to be a game of base ball play* ed to-day on the ground of the Phoenix, at the vest end of Ohio street, between the Westerns, of Indianapolis, and the Resolutes, of Evansrille, The managers of the Fair exteBded no very flattering induoements for the^nctole gwae'^witbin the grounds.

ACOTDKIW.—Wo we're sorry to nbtice that in expressing tho beautiful specimens of Sponccrian penmanship "and fine pon work from tho IndiunapgHa branch of the Bryant & Stratton College, that the glass covering thtf' premium pieco known as the "Goddess of Liberty" was broken. We advise«our young mon who think of entering a commercial college to gain fall particulars from the gentlemanly representative of this superior seboo), at the Telegjraph Cu,untoi« Fine Art- Hall

CATRON BRICK MACHINE. Among tho triumphs of mechanical Skill on exhibition at tho Fair, is a Brick Machineinvented by Mc. E. P- lli Capron, of Springfield, Ohifi, and ihannfacturod at Columbus, Ohio. This machine, the result of years of toil and thought, is des lined to work a, complete, ravolation- .in brick making." i'wo men, one bvoy and a span of horses, can with this machine, make and hack from 12,000 to 15,000 brick per day, and with steam for motive power, two men and two "bd/s" Can make and hack from 25,000 to 30?QOO por day. Its simplicity and cheapness are prominent recommendations. All interested in the manufacture of brick should see the Machine in operation on thfigroancU.^

There never has been a limo when the Bryant St Stratton Chicago Business College was in a more flourishing condition than at present, hating how ijt attendance nearly two hundred students^ Tho Eastman College closed last spring, leaving no competition. Those contemplating taking a course in-u Commercial College would do well to consider tho advantages that can be-gained by thorough classiflca tion uhd arrangement whnh cannot be had in smaller Institutions. Also, the facilities of obtaining employment after graduating, and becoming acquainted with the business mon of Chicago. Par ties wishing inforrnstiojl- ih regard to terms, &c., can obtain Circulars at the Fino Art Hall, on tho Fair Grounds, where thoy have on exhibition very fine specimens of penmanship.

MOSES, "the Spectacle Man," from

Indianapolis, has opened an office upon the Fair Grounds, for tho exhibition and sale of his Spectacles during tho Fair. All can be suited there. [d3t

CLEVELAND AQRICULTRAL WORKS.— H. B. Wright, general agent for tho above well-known works, located at Cleveland, Ohio, is presont with tho Hubbard Mow1 or and Reapor, and other implements of their manufacture. Tho Hubbard is known as a standard machino and has uniformly sustained a iirst class reputation. Tho Reaper is exhibited as a selfrakor and has Johnson's self-rake attached, an improvement that has been successful whenever and wherever tried or used. It rakes evenly, deposits the'gavols in neat bundles, any required size without 'wasting or stageling. At the great N. Y. trial of machines this rake was awared the lirst premium. Thedis play of the firm in question is a prominent feature of our Fair.

Tmc TTOOSIKII L)r.iLL.--Tlie Ingall's manufacturing company of Milton, Ind., through thoir able and gentlemanly manager, aro represented with the above favorite drill. This valuablo field implement, has mot with great favor from armers who have used it.

S. li 'iTiey & Co., of Richmond, Wayne County, this State, who havo never failed as extensive as well as sncccssful exhibitors, aro present, with inoro than an ordinary display. They havff" ho less than thirty different paterns of plows on exhibition. This is, we believe, tho largest display evor mado by ono firm in this State, and embraces many new paterns never before presented. Their entrios include plows for all purposes, such as general purposes, sward, stubble, light loam muck, clay, &c. Also cultivators, different paterns, &c. As to material used, it is suffisient recommendation to say that it is from the steel factory of Reiter A Co., proprietors of the Labelle Steel Works, Pittsburgh, Penna. No better is used.

Messrs. Horney & Co.. h^ye always sustained the reputation' oftheir plows in field trials. Mr. E. Patterson, the active member of tho firm, is present, and will make all necessary explanations as to prices, &c.

They have fcdded every improvement known that would in any way add to the efficient working of the machine, and there is not a farmer who has used one but will bear us out in saying, that their machinery is the paragon of excellence. Tho exhibitor, who is wellknown to our agricultural community as one of the most enlightened agricultural dealers in the West, will be present and explain the machine. &•»*- IF CARVER'S PUMPS.

Tho inventor of this valuable lift and force pump is present with a number in working order. They have received first premiums at every fair arid institute they have ever been exhibited.
