LAST DAY OF THE FAIR. The State’s Exhibition Brought to a Successful Conclusion. J*rof. Kind’s Aerial Voyage in the “Eagle Eyrie’*—The Turf Events—A%yartl of Premiums—The Daily Receipts. Yesterday was the last day of the State fair, and by the going down of the suit to-day every exhibitor, every leuionude ehrieker, every fakir, everybody and everything to the last prize pumpkin, will have passed away to be seen no more for a year. This is sad, but man was made to mourn, and under the present management it would perhaps be asking too muoh to have the State fair tarry any longer. The attendance yesterday was over 22,000; the day was beautiful, and so far as sights to be seen and sounds to be heard were concerned, there were more anmeemeuts than on any previous day. Captive balloon ascensions were made every half hour or so, and an enterprising oiothing-houso advertised itself by sending up enormous gas-filled figures representing men and animals, so that for a great part of the day nearly everybody’s face had. been, turned skyward, and last night the heads of several thousand people were placed upon their pillows in a discouraging effort to give their weary necks a rest; TUB BALLOON ASCENSION. At five minutes past 5 o’clock in the afternoon Professor King and his wife got into the basket of the “Eagle Eyrie,” and the cut-away ascension was begun. The air-ship rose slowly, evidently being heavily weighted, passed south over the Exposition building, and at a height of three hundred and fifty or four hundred feet, having drifted to the southwest nearly a third of a mile, a quantity of saud was poured out, and the balloon rose rapidly to a.height of half a mile, and, meeting another air-current, changed direction and saled way to the northeast, rising higher as it went. For a time it was at a standstill above Brightwood, when a fresh air-wave came along and the balloon was carried rapidly to the south west, again crossing the city. Darkness came on as the balloon was seen above the southwest part of the city nearly over the river. It was a beautiful sight, and for a full hour the air-sliip was In plain view. At 0:25, after a voyage of an hour and twenty minutes, the balloon descended a half mile south of Maywood, and soon after the Professor and his wife returned to the city, coming In on the Vincennes train, which happened robe a little behind t ime. ‘*We had a delightful trip,” said the Professor to a Journal reporter who met him and his wife at supper at 8:30 o’clock, “and saw your city by gaslight. We had a small adventure in alighting. In the darkness several meu ran to catch eur drag rope, which was trailing about 350 fPef, but failed to find it, and we caught in a tree about sixty feet from the ground. We came down, however, in the basket, but the balloon is somewhat torn and will remain in the tree-top nntil morning.” Mrs. King informed the reporter that this was her fourth balloon voyage, the ones previous to this having been made over fifteen years ago. They will remain here a few days, aud then go either to Louisville or South Bond, THE RECEIPTS OP THE FAIR. The receipts of the fair from admission tickets sold on Tuesday were about $500,0n Wednesday $3,224, on Thursday $10,563, and on yesteTday something over SB,OOO. This does nor, include the coupon tickets shirt bv tile railroads, which will amount to about $5,000, making the total gate receipts about $27,000, which is in excess ©f last year and will more than pay expenses. trot —2:30 CLASS.

While the clothing men are rending their raiment it 13 pleasant to turn aside and contemplate a quiet business which ministers to the comfort of our fellow-men, and not only furnishes material for those beverages which cheer hut do not inebriate, but at the same time, being pure and wholesome, carry no qualm or irritation to our often much-abused stomachs. H. H. Lee’s name alone has, since the establishment of his tea and coffee busiuess. In 1860, been a sufficient guaranty of the purity of his goods—not only his teas aud coffees, but everything he deals in. In addition to this, when it comes to prices, being the largest dealer in the city, he can afford to sell and does sell good goods at as low prices as other dealers sell inferior grades. His trade is not confined to any class or locality, but it comprises all classes and all parts of the city, and to accommodate it he has four stores—No. 34 West Washington street, No. 7 Odd Fellows’ Hall, No. 250 Virginia avenue and No. 1 Madison avenue—each one of which has been long established. Every-one who saw R. L. Keith’e (of Brazil, Indiana,) adjustable buggy-top attachment soys it is a good thing. It throws the buggy top down neatly and:quickly. Sitting in the buggy one can adjust it while handling the lines. This Invention does away with the difficulty, to ladies particularly, of getting in and out of a buggy. Costs a trilie. The Indianapolis Bridge Company, ooraposed of some of our wealthiest citizens, have on exhibition at the State fair, samples of their bridges. This work was©xamined by thousands of visitors, and all agree that the workmanship could not be excelled. We were present this week when these bridges were examined by a practical engineer, and it is but just to the company to say that the work was pronounced by him to be unequaled. We are proud of this, for the reason that Indiana can get her bridges and the best of bridges, at home, and not be obliged to go to foreign States for them. It is the duty of all (county commissioners' especially) to encourage an enterprise like our own Indianapolis Bridge Company. A. J. Cay wood & Sons, of Marlboro, New York, exhibit flue grapes of the following new varieties, originated by them: Duchess, Ulster Prolific and Poughkeepsie Red, the former a white grape ana the others aro about the color of a well-ripened Catawba.

Elevon years ago J. A. McKenzie began the clothing business in this city. He started in with the resolve that his customers should have fair play. To do this he began the sale of honest goods at fair prices, and considerately left shoddy and sensational clap-trap as unworthy of a dealer who meant to be just with his patrons. Mr. McKenzie has done well, and established a business that no one can take away. His gVQds are the best that come to this market, and ate not merely cut in style, but are of the best fabrics and have first-class workmanship upon them. These clothes are not made to be sold as scare crows, to do duty in corn-fields, but to be worn by live men in cities, towns and villages— to go about the daily affairs of, live in, to go to the grocery, the bank, the church—aye. to young men. even to go courting in. Clothes that will fir, ami in which you will feel comfortable, and uot like a dummy, in a suit of shoddy. Os all the wind-mills that tore the air at the State fair grounds the Eclipse certainly attracted the largest share of attention. The Eclipse was the original and first solid wheel mill patented, and its inventor was thus able to choose the most direct and simple forms of construction. Others, in seeking to avoid the E Ipse patents, have had to boggle with extra joints and pieces. The working parrs of the Eclipse are of wrought and malleable iron; in other mills, of cast iron. The Eclipse method of manufacture adds somewhat to the cost, but doubles the strength of the mill. The cost or erection, pump and piping, and other fixtures is as much for a poor mill as for the Eclipse! and so upon the entire outfit a poorer mill can save but a few dollars. It’s the best; it’s selfregulating; possesses 15 per cent, more Dower, and stands 50 per cent, more strain than section wheel mills. Fairbanks & Cos., of Indianapolis, are agents for the Eclipse, and will send circulars on application. H. 8. Tucker, the well-known glove man of this city, had an elaborate and elegant display of his gloves at the fair this week, his'exhibit being on the second floor on the north side of the Exposition building, and attracted notice and received the unqualified praise of thousands of ladies. Mr. Tucker has shown conclusively what can be done in a specialty handled by one who thoroughly understands his business. It lias now come to be that the name of H. S. Tucker is so attached to the glove tratio that one is never spoken without suggesting the other, and his fame is no longer merely local but reaches all over Indiana, and he has patrons in all the adjoining Scares. In the ladies' department were a number of handsome oil paintings, which are deserving of more than passing mention. They were painted by Mrs. H. 8. Tucker, and nothing in that department received greater praise from competent critics. __ Down-Town Notes. The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company made no display at the fair, but a visit to either of their down-town stores is at any time well worth making, as thousands of our citizens are prepared to testify. The success of these houses during their establishment here has been great, but no greater than they deserved. During the ad min Ist ration of Mr. David Pepper, the present manager, the increase in business has been greater than ever before. The great Atlantic and Paoific Tea Company, of which the houses at No. 4 Bates House block. West Washington street, and No. 164 East Washington street, are branches (headquarters being in New York), are the largest importers and retailers in the world, and the only importers dealing direct with consumers. These stores sell fine teas, selected coffees and pure sugars absolutely at importers* and refiners’ prices. In a few days Mr Pepper will put in an enormous coffee mill, seven feet high, weighing over 500 pounds, which will grind three pounds of coffee a minute. A. L. Wright <fe Co.,}Nos, 47 and 49 South Meridian street, made no exhibit at the State fair, being too busily engaged with their fall trade to admit of it. Their place of business, however, has been visited by hundreds of patrons from all Varts of the State during the week and no pains have been spared in exhibiting to them their large and select purchases of carpetings, lace curtains, etc., which are n*>w arriving from N*-w York, and which have been bought by Mr. Wright iu person, at prices that admit of his giving greater bargains than can possibly be afforded by any other house in the State. Mack, of the Chicago Shoe House, No. 24 West Washington street, is, judging fiorn the great Crowds now flocking to his establishment, doing the shoe busiucs of this oily. Business energy and the alluring fact that the Chicago Shoe House is the one and only place iu Indianapolis where they boldly attach prices to their shoes, does it. And such startling prices. He asks the questions, and then answers them thus: “Who will sell a gents' fine calf hand-sewed button boot at $3.50! “Who will sell a gents'calf opera boot, bandsewed, at 35! “Who will sell a ladies’ French kid, side lace, at $1,751 “Who will sell a ladies’ glove-top kid button hoot f<r 95 cents? “No one but Mack, the Rlioe dealers' m-st. “Call and convince yourselves . h ml-of prices.” People admire that open, str ughtfunvara way

of doing business. There’s nothing like it, and the wonderful wav Hie Chicago Shoe House is driving sales shows it. “Hats off!” that is, off with your old; hats and on with new ones. Go to Seaton’s hut- store. No. 25 North Pennsylvania street. He has opened liis stock of fall and wuiTer hats—nil the fashionable styles—hats to suit any and everybody. The best-known book house iu Indiana is that of Bowen, Stewart & Cos., which haß been established in this oity over thirty years. If you want a school-book, if you want the latest novel, if you want a handsome ediiiou of the works of any English or American writer of poetry or prose, if you want a. family Bible, if you want stationery of any quality, if you want wrappingpaper—if you want anything ever kept in a book, store you will ttud it at Bowen, Stewart At Co.’s. Tne Capital Shoe Store Is undoubtedly Tho place For bargains In boots and shoes. Ladies’ wear a specialty. It is a Recognized fact that the Capital Shoe Store deals iu the best goods that are made. The Capital Shoe Store buys for cash and sella at the smallest margin of profit. Business is business.

Natural History of the State Fair. To the Editor of the Indiananofis Journal: Os the sll9 distributed in twenty prizes, natural history department State fair, Mr. F. Noe, the superintendent of the department, took ten prizes, consisting of $72, and occupied onehalf the available space and cases. Mr. D. K. Green, with the finest display of Falls of the Ohio fossils ever brought* to this oity, occupied most of the remaining space, and took s2l in three prizes. The remaining $25 went to five different persons. That the prizes were justly awarded under the rules by Professor O. Hay, of Butler Uuivessity, and Mr, Eruest Morris, the well-known South American traveler and collector, no one doubts. These men know the cost and labor of amassing varied collections in natural history. The fault is with the prize list, which is evidently stuffed and doctored worse than the specimens themselves. The premium list says: “It is hoped to bring out cabinets of amateurs and county associations, and iusure new interest.” “Small collections will receive all the credit for novelty they merit.” To this end would it not be well to debar the main exhibitor from being the appointer of iudges and acting superintendent, even if the State Geologist is the nominal and irresponsible figurehead of the department! Also, to let Messrs. Hay and Morris rearrange the premium list, as these gentlemen are scientists and would give each department of natural science due encouragement. They would not spend one-third the money on professional taxidermy, or * arrange the lists as to throw all the prizes in the same old channels. The most, creditable display and the one which implied the greatest amount of scientific knowledge and active collecting was not in oird skins or ludian arrow-beads, bur in analytical botany. The solons who, in assigning premiums for a purely agricultural fair, gave $35 to the art of taxidermy and $5 to the art of botany, are in error, and certainly put the three before the wrong five. In the interests of agriculture there should be prizes for first and second best collections of insects injurious to vegetation in Indiana; also, a prize for the best collection or Indiana grasses and sedges, and four or five small prizes for herbariums of our local flora, following Prof. J k Coulter's list of Indiana plants. Moreover, no naturalist, muoh less a taxidermist, should be allowed to divide his colleetien and take both first and second premiums, aud much to the disgust of the judges, as this year. It may be said, in concluding, that the writer is not an exnibiter, and never took a prize at a fair, and lias no ax to grrnd, this year or next, but is only interested that this game of “freezeout” put up on young collectors and amateur naturalists be warmed up a little before another prize-li6t is formed, aml that the “cabinets of amateurs” may be “brought our,” as the fairbook says. A dozen parties living in the city, and as many out, who have exhibited in years before, retired in disgust on seeing the lay of the land this year. If the committee on natural history will invite either of our science teachers—Hay, of Butler; Coulter, of Wabash; Baker, of Asbury; Barnes, of Purdue; Young, of Hauover, or Jordan, of Bloomington— to arrange the list, we will warrant that no prize will exceed $10; that no one will take both first and second prizes; that taxidermy will not overbalance botany, and that no exhibitor will have a monopoly of space or cases, or advertise his collections or his art, and that cases full of old war newspapers aud Indian arrow-heads will be promptly ruled out. In this way wo might secure some of the score or more of classified collections of birds, herbariums, fresh water shells, etc., from outside Indianapolis. As it was this year, the committee expended nearly SIOQ for labor, frauier. and cases to exhibit at a State fair the hackneyed collections of a few private citizens of Indianapolis, while not a single natural history society and but one outsicLo individual was represented. Amateur.

AN IMPORTANT PROJECT. The Initial Step Taken to Organize the American Industrial Union—Objects of the Association. The mooting at tho Bate* House last evening for the purpose of further discussing the proposition to organize an exposition association, was largely attended, fully seventy-five gentlemen, representing many of tho largest manufacturing establishments in the West, being present. Mr. J. B. Heywood,in speaking of the proposed exposition, said that it was generally understood that consideration would be given to proposals for the place of holding from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Logansport. E. B. Martindalc said that the object in organizing an exposition association should not be to antagonize the State Board of Agriculture. The State fair had been a success, but there could bo no harmony between agricultural and industrial exhibitions. The State fair is managed by farmers, representing the agricultural interests, and they do not understand how to make a big industrial exhibition. The exposition, he said, shoul I be a separate exhibition, representing manufacturing and mechanical interests. Indianapolis would give heartv support to an exposition project, and it was not expected that buildings would be located here without Indianapolis doing all that could be expected Mr. Sharpe said that it would be unwise to antagonize the State Board of Agriculture. The interests of the State fair and tne manufacturers are mutual, and he doubted if manufacturers could afford to not make exhibits at the fair. The exhibiters may not get the treatment that they should but it would be better to present the grievances to the State board, and reasonab e concessions would probably lie made. The att action* of an exhibition to uraw the masses of people should bo of a general Character. The exhibition of machinery alone would not be sufficient to attract people. Neither can the State fair be made a complete success if all run to horses, cattle, or any one filing. The exhibition should embrace everything of interest relating to agriculture and the manufacturing and industrial interests. William Gause doubted if it would be judicious to organize an exposition association. He Relieved that, by co-operative action of the state fair managers and the manufacturers, a more equal representation of tho manufacturing and agricultural interests would ho mod* at future exhibitions. He said that it was useless to try to conceal the fact that the movement to organize an exposition association grew out "f spite, and he believed ihat it would be “cutting off the nose to spite the face,” but if it was decided to hold an exposition he would “go out with the boys.” One of the chief objections made to the State fair was that it practically lasted only three days, while there was no reason why the Attendance should not be almost equally large during at least six days. J. B. Ileywood offered the following resolution, which was adopted: “Whereas. There is no organization in the United States in which the manufacturing interests of the country arc exclusively represented, and that, as we believe, such an organization would greatly aid the manufacturer>= in promoting the industrial interests, and as there is a law ir Indiana under which such organizations may be legally made and maintained, therefore, “Resolved, That wo will form a joint stock company under the laws of Indiana, tube known as the ‘American Industrial Un on,’ in which an invitation will be extended to all the manufacturers of the Uuited States to take a membership and stock, on such tenia and conditions as may be presented iu the articles of association; that one of the features of said Industrial Union shall he to hold an annual exposition, in which the industrial interests only shall be represented, and that a committee of twentv-one shall reappointed to perfect such organization.” The following persons were appointed meml*er of the committee on organtza|hoir. K. B. Mart indale. J. B. Iley wood, H. T. Condo, Ed. H. Dean, A. 11. Nordyke, of Indianapolis; William B. Brlnton. Moline, lil ; W. B Holton, Chicago; Thomas Meikle. Louisvilie; A. D.

A meeting of the committee will bo called sometime soon by Judge Martholuje, the chairman, for the purpose of taking the preliminary steps for effecting tu organization of !.*;••• proposed association.

DOST AND WON. The Indianapolis and Columbus Clubs Each Win a Hail from the Other. The Columbus (0.) club played two games with O’Leary’s young no yesterday* winning one and losing the other. Murphy and Dorgan occupied the responsible positions in the morning game, and while Murphy was freely hit, Dorgan played in very bad form, several’runs made by the Columbus club being attributable to his. passed balls and errors. Peoples made a bad throw, too, which allowed several runs to score. Downing, of the home nine, sent the ball over the left-field fence for a home run in tho second inning.
