Three men were arrested for practicing some kind of a ring game, and two others for selling obscene pictures. Each were fined five doU iars aud costs. A fighting man was^dtily assessed, and four pickpockets were arrested.

BASS BALL.—We could not be at more than one point at the same time yesterday, and our friends of the "noble game" have failed in their auty in furnishing the notes, so wo hffveto go to press without a report of the match game played yesterday by the Western Club of Indianapolis, and the Resolutes, of Evansville.

S rA'#\K FAIR.
THIRD DAY.
Tho State Fair has commenced, "Tell it in (rath and proclaim it in tho streets of Askolon." The thousands upon thousands of poople, tbo clouds upon clouds ol dust, the thieves upon thieves, and the loving couples from the country up no that won't do all these things proclaimed that the State Fair had brokon out upon Terre Haute as does the passion flower upon tho air of a monastery. In fact, the State Fair is the only passion .Torre Haute euffors at present, but it ha* got it bad, and the little Prairie City is actually choking with rage-
Well regulated people start for the Fair abut half past eight o'clock, and arrive on tho grounds in time to see the affair in the full tido of glory. Tie follow tho Rienzian figure,you go ahead with the current, not like a fellow ru3hing on to fortune and undying fame, but as a "base, ignoble slavo," until you ask the Treasurer how many tickets have been soldi and he tells you eight thousand. Remembering that last year bul five thousand were sold all dny on "Wednesday, you conclude that the Fifteenth Exhibition is more successful than the Fourteenth, and a Terre Hautian remembers that the reason is simply that tho Fair is not at Indianapolis. A gentleman from the Capital would have another reason to offer.
THE CROWD.
Taking the statement of the Treasurer of the sale' of eight thousand tickets before dinner, and the estimate of from twelve to fifteen thousand people on the grounds during the day, is rather undor than over the figure.
ENTRIES.
Tho time for the reception of entries tho exact number in the various departments can not bo known until to-morrow. What

BOUND ABOUT.
Temporarily ignoring the main features of the Fair, a stroll through the suburbs is not without interest. There are some good shows, and some for which a man .-liould indicted. Tho littlo menagerie cn its way to join that of C. Ames, New Orleans, is the best legitimate exhibition on the grounds. A couple of negro minstrel troopn give as go .id c.irk opera as can be expected at Fairs. The Japa n%se Juggler, with extraordinarily patriotic bowels, spitting rod, white and blue ribbons out of his intestines at a fearful rate, is a leading card, and is, they say, at Indianapolis, playing to good houses. This chromatic disembowlmcnt will be given during tho week. There is a show where two hybrid men and a fomale shake chsrmer show forth, which every one should ignore. It is simply terrible: disgusting and outrageous. It will shock the nerves, the moral sensibilities and decency of everybody excopt an or&ng ou. tang. A fine collection of stuffed birds fills one canvass and then, of course,is our friend the fat Col. weighing some thing less than a thousand, and standing seven feet ten, or ten feet and seven, immaterial which,
This- summary exhausts the shows, but there is a never failing fund of amusement in listening to the "blowers" as they relate the respective merits of their exhibitions. Then there is the pop corn men, who send off & corruscation of jokes not older than the flood, equal in point of immensity to the frosty cereal lumps they retail at a half dime We can not attempt a description of the odd fringing of theState Fair,but as no garment would be a la mode without the edging no State Fair is just the cheese without its appropriate suburbs. -These roust be
seen and heard to be properly enjoyed. To commence seeing the Fair proper, we will enter the •\v. 1
FLOBAL AND FRUIT HALL This is the main hall of the Fair for size and yet the display ii probably the most meagre. Mr. Gilbert, the Superindent, has done all possible -with the resources at his command, but the ugly glaw of empty shelves salutes you with the same feeling they inspire in the minds of the minister at tho Thursday night prayer meeting. In tho floral line the most striking display is the central pyramid of Heinl Brothers, made up of greenbouse and bedding plants. Among this collection we notice twelve varieties of that peculiar spotted leaf plant, Colladium. There is a Sago Palm, several of the Cissus plants, and some elegant Begonias. Next to Heinl comes a smaller but most tasteful and recherche, display, by William Scholtz. It is a rustic landscape scene, and among the rocks and trees springs forth a tiny water jet, which is most pleasing in its effect.
Tropical plants are the rare things in this show Cacti of all inordinary conceptions ficus stipulaia—a South American running vine—and Tea Roses in bloom are some of the features which embellish Mr. Scholtz's display. These are the only two professional entries in the floral department.
Two amateurs are in the list the display! °f Mrs. Madrigal embraces a fine specimen of coUae vershaffalti, a passion flower, some Coliadiume, and a few fine Calla Lillies, which are a little injured by the cold of the past few days, the edges of their olephantino leaves being slightly burnt. Mrs. Joseph Grover has her private collection of plants, among which are a few very rare herbs. A South America Auchimenes,alarge ruellia cornea (flesh color) an Oxalii Bnoli from the Capo of Good Hope, and an Habratamnut Abcsii of Chili are the chief. Both collections aro in excellent order, and considerng the heat and drouth reveal the mo«t excellent care by both ladies. The fruit department embraces a very large display of apples, poaches, pears, flowers, and grapes but in the latter feature the showis not fully up to what it should be Valentine Morgan, of Prairie Creek, F. Morris-, Leonard Brake, P. H. Monninger, A. B.Pegg, and Mrs. E. Calhoun, of this city, the Plainfleld Horticultural Society, Regan of Hendricks county, L. M. Smith, of Vincennes, W. M. Mildman & Son, of Rockville, Charles Lowder, of Hendriok, and John Ott, of Rockville, are tho main exhibitors. A seedling peach grown by J. B. McCorinick, of Princeton looks well, and is a candidate for a local habiUtiou and a name. Some monthiy cherries of Mrs Calhoun are universally remarked. For the best three varieties of grapes, the Concord, Diana and Clinton aro entered, and for single variety the Concord. Those fruits and flowers complete the hall, which we regret is not fuller, but what there is is of excellent quality.
MECHANIC8 HALL.
The Mechanics Hall is full lo overflowing, but under the able superintendence of Mr. P. F. Davis, of Muncie, is very finely arranged If the waste room of the Floral Hall had been thrown into this department, it could have been well used. On the outside of the hall are arranged tho mowers and reapers, drills* cultivators, corn planters, corn plowers, revolving rakes, sorghum mills, bee hives, fruit dryers, pumps, etc, etc., without number. Inside there are a large number of things which will attract a man's eyes. First comes an excellent display of Mooney & Co.'s belting and prepared lea ther, from Indianapolis Burnett A Ross, of this city, contribute a very fine lot of collars, amid a general display of leather and findings Thompson & Keyes have spoke} and hubs Olivia A. Conditf of Indianapolis, has a ca*e of feather work, which is very beautiful G. F. Ellis,'wool dealer, has a case of cloths thero is a new kind of carpet called "Campillion," something on the oilcloth order Cory & Mancourt display hardware John M.^Heiz shows cloths Long Black & Allstatter, of Hamilton, have a fine case of sickle teeth, a id next to them a beautiful show of saws from E. C. At* kins & Co there is a lot of horse shoes, made by W. H. Worthington, which are s.onewhut remarkablo in finish, consider, jng that no file wa« used on them at any stage of their manufacture L. Ball has a fine collection of stoves and tin ware,followed by a few stoves from the Bransville foundry of Rtmlker, Blount & Co. Clifc & Williams exhibit a tine display of sash, doors and blinds, and a beautiful bannister column. W. P. Gallup, of Indianapolis, is prepared to weigh things OB a lot of Fairbanks'tscales. Ezra Smith & Co., of Richmond, have a number of school desks and seats. Some hay forks and rakes are there from tho Southern Penitentiary. B. M. Spicer & Co. have sevo': very valuable articles, the Gospel golden' number and any number of "inventions," under which term is comprised tho full gamut of churns, washing machines, gates, spinners, looms rat traps, etc, make up the furniture of the Mechanics' Hall. It is a busy scene, and one calculated to inspire the beholder with awe. Abovo and over all is the hum of the looms, slightly mixed with the remarks of follows with "things' they want to sell county rights for.
These two halls are as much as any one can see very well in one day, and he has to be a sort of Argus-eyed genius to succeed in that. This morning the Fine Art Hall will be fully under way, and will be a splendid morning's work for a party of two or more, *o which our readers are cordially invited.
THE PRESIDENTS PREMIUM.
So far as we can learn there appears to be but six entries for the one thousand dollar purse. The action of the Committee in making the horses go abreast was not compatible with sajety or the feelinga of horse men, and by permission Mr. Dorsey, of Kentucky, owner of the Gold Dust horses, appeared before the Ex ecu* tive Committee and made a statement of what he conceived to be the wishes of turfmen, after which the followiag molution was passed, which we presume will
definitely settle the vexed question of how the Cast trotter* are to "go:" Setohei, That the horses going for the President's premium be required to go in pairs, and if there be odd numbers, the odd one ahall go either alone or in another pair, as the Board may direct, and that they shall go in the order in which they are entered.
I THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE At its meeting yesterday adopted the following resolution, which will be of interest to all concerned: By Mr. Poole
Retolved, That the Superintendent be instructed to examine all stock, especially horses, now in the stalls on tho Fair Ground, and to enforce our rules by enforcing the owners to remove said horses or stock from the ground, unless they are entered and have show cards, or are payping for the use of the stalls occupied.— Said stalls being paid for. are not to
As the girl said, the balloon ascension did not go tip." A mistake occurred somewhere, but to atone for the disappointment partially, a small girl with a large voice, let her little pink abomination loose and it sailed out into the majestic deep in a remarkablo style. The little miss refused to be comforted, because her gas-bag was not.
There are not more than half enough accommodations on the Terre Haute Bailroad, and at least half as many more trains should be run during to-day and to morrow, if it all possible. The four o'clock eastern extra should also be run.
The Grain Threshers and Separators were tried yesterday afternoon, and the way they slung straw and chaff was a caution to weak-lunged people. It is very to know Dr. Hale is in the city, in the case of a bronchial accident.
Workmen were employed yesterday afternoon in fencing out the people from the time ring. With the usually remarkable modicum of common sense, people, are determined to see things, and clamber all over the ring to do so. The defense is a fence.
The crowds at the hotel are immense. *'Standing room only," is the card now. The Fair will continue to-day, probably.

MA(^ILN*?RR'The
scarcity of business a^d dwelling houses in every city, town and hamlet in the land, at the close of thj wafT/was the subject of universalk:o|npratht,4nd of elaborate comment by" the nowspaper press, all over the country, Tbese regrets, if Ihey did not remedy the evil, had, at least the effect of inciting mechanics and builders to renewed efforts in the procure* ment of matejrial for building purposes, As a sequenced neW impetus was given to the manufacture of bride:
A machine calculated to work such an entire change in one of the useful branches of manufacture, is entitled to mention at tho hands of the journalist. We, there-
fore, present few ol its claims over other machines of a similar character. One of its fundamental advantages is thot-it uses clay directly from tho bank, which ittem« pers in tho "pug mill," and by "its own action forces out or secretes all foreign substancor requiring no further labor but removing and backing. For'tbis reason it requires luss manual labor to operate it than any other machine. Its Capacity when steam is tho propelling power is irom 25,000 to 30,000 brick per day, and when propelled by a span of horses from 12,000 to 15,000. The' number of hands necessary to work it by tho former mode is two men and three boys and by the latter two men and two boys.
The brick mado 'by the Capron Ma. chine will command a. higher price than those made in any yard in this country, Philadelphia hand-pressed brick only excepted. They are perfectly square with corners well defined, smooth faced, and for quality and beauty ara unsurpassed testimonials as to which are being daily received by tho patentee from old and experienced architects and builders.
Thero are many other advantages possessed by tho Capron Machine, but a detailed description of machinery upon paper become prosy. In conclusion, we desire to express a hope that Capron's Brick Machine, which is more of an acquisition to science and civilization than most previous inventions, will continue to meet tho approbation it deserves, and which has already been awarded it by those who aro,familiar with -its-operation This machine is now on exhibition on the Fair Grounds, in the vicinity of Power Hall, and all interested in the manufac ture of brick should see it in operation to day .... -:(rr
B. & S.
i-.
Yards tliat'
had long lain idle were speedily openedi all tools and maohjnoe ijsed in tfricjl making were seized as subject for consideration by inventors, and every effort made to support the rapidly increasing demand for brick.
Tho result of these experiments was
chines thrust upon the market by inven tors, many of whom had devoted so little time to the perfection of their ideas that their machines were no solWier'frtrt to the test than they were found utterly imprac ticable. Others, though invented by men of genius, were so complicated in con* struction. that, notwithstanding Ihey proved to be a great improvement upon the old mode of makiug buck, they qould not be brought into general use unless remodeled and simplified. To do this required a tboTongh^knoWledge of mechanics, and of the art of brick making. This was cortainly possessed by Mr. E. P. H. Capron, of Springfield, Ohio, who by his untiring energy created the Capron Brick Machine, which to day, for its simplicity(

SFLSSCI UNION CHURN. C. H. Worren, the inventor of the above, represents Saffell & Baldwin, Tiffin, Ohio, manufacturers of tlicso and other valuable household conveniences. Thee Churn has never, in a single instanco failed, when put to trial, to receive a premium. Thousands of them are in use and have given tho highest satisfaction. The construction is simple, and the churn is easily operated and cleaned, and the butter readily gathered and removed. Every housewife wanting-a churn that will do all claimed for it should have a "Union." The same gentleman is inventor of a "fruit dryer" on a new and ingenious principal. It utilizes all tho heat and produces a unifcrm temperaturo in all parts of the dry house, it is also nsed with success for drying clothes. Mr. Worren is the inventor of other valuable ar-. tides that shall receive attention hereafter.
IRON HANS LOOM.—Wait, Gallop & Co., Watertown, Wisconsin, have in working order, ono of their new hand looms. This loom was patented in 18CS, and has also met with a rapid introduction. The aim of the invention has been to simplify what has been complicated to strengthen weak parts, and to judgo from what those say who have used it with tho best of success. The entire loom is made from the best of material, and the construction is on plain, substantial principles. Any farmers wife can in a lew hours practice, weave the fiuesst cottons or heaviest woolens. The use of such a convenience is too apparent to every intelligent reader to need reference, and Indiana ows it to her own domestic interests te encourage its introduction. The exhibitor will be present during the Fair and make all necessary explanations.
TH* TURNPIKE PLOW.—Mosoley Rahm & Co., Pittsburg, Pennsylvania exhibit the above plow. It is on a now principle and the only correct thoory in the construction of a plow cvor present ed. The manufacturers claim that it is at best, ten per cent less draft than any plow in use, turning the same width and deptjof furrow.

KIRBY REAPERS AND MOWERS.
D. M. Osborne & Co., Auburn, Now York, through Edward H. Valentine, Cleveland, Ohio, Agent for Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, have on exhibition one of their well-known machines.
The "Auburn Kerby" has attained world wide popularity, and their sales of Combined Reapers and Mowers exceed those of any other machine. Over forty thousand havo been manufactured, six thousand of which were sold tho present season. The "Auburn Kirby'' has many important improvements, which must be seen to be appreciated, among which is their new Finger Bar, with Open Guurds, Castor Platform Wheel, and their new Reel Self Raker. This Self Raker, with the improvements made in the harvest of 1867, has proved an entire success, and all the Kirbys hereafter manufactured will be fitted for it, and sold either as Hand or Self Rakers, as desired. The Self-Raker can be applied to all Hand Rake Machines, and used in either way—an important advantage over auy other Machine.
At the great State trial at Rochester, Minn., in Aug. 1867, tho "Kirby" was awarded the First Premium as Combined Self Raker and First Premium as Combined Hand or Self Raker, as desired. Also, two Silver Medals at the Michigan State Fair-in August, and a Grand Gold Medal at the great National trial at Auburn in|^1866. Mr. E H. Valentino, the popular and well-known General Agent of tho 'Kirby," was formerly a member of the Agricultural Houso of Scott & Valentine, of this city.

THE BALLOON AND FIRK WORKS.— We regret to learn that on yesterday, cwing to high wind, Prof. Light was unable to inflate and successfully transfer the balloon "Floiag Cloud" to the Fair Grounds. Owing to the same unruly element, which mankind has not yet learned to control, Mr. Wallace was compelled to postpone his exhibition of Fire Work*, after setting fire to the residence of one of tho neighboring citizens. Some of our country visitors were in high dudgeon on account of the postponement, but whilo we would be glad to amuse our country friends, we don't like to do it[at the expense of a block or two being consumed, and we aro glad that the management could "see it." After thefali of rain last night we think no appreosions need be feared by our citizens from the fire works. Should the wind be too high, to-day, to transier the balloon "Cresent City," to the Fair Grounds, after inflation we are requested to say that the Balloon Wedding will positively take place at 6 o'clock from the enclosure in front of the Terre Haute
House, Fire works will commence at 7 o'clock. Persons holding tiokets from last night aie entitled to admission to the Balloon Wedding to-day and Fire Works tonight, without extra charge. Tofc "*dut and fill the enclosure.
