ITIIE SECOND DAY OF THE FAIR An immense Attendance of School Children and Many Adults. She Awards in the Live-Stock Department— The Races Postponed—Some of the Interesting Features. Yesterday was “Children's Day” at the State ffair, and the attendance was very large. The grablic schools were, adjourned, and the pupils nd teachers provided with free tickets, and iheir attendance necessarily brought out many Hos their parents, so that over four thousand -adults’ tickets were sold during the day, the receipts being very much larger than on any Tuesday of the fair for several years. It rained vigorously early in the morning, and throughout the day the sky was cloudy and the weather threatening. The track was so muddy and heavy that the racing was necessarily postponed until to-day. Properly speaking, the fair opened on yesterday, for not nearly all the exhibits were in place on Monday. The display is particularly good in the live stock, and agricultural implements, and machinery departments. Yesterday About seventy horses that could uot be provided With shelter at the grounds were sent down 5n the city to livery s.ables, and alarge force of men were busily engaged all day in putting in lextra stalls. There is the finest lot of sheep on the grounds ever seen at a State fair, and the "display of Jersey and fat cattle, in spite of the pleuro pneumonia scare, is very large. Premiums were awarded in this department yesterday, the principal ones being carried off by 3ocal exhibitors. In the main building the display is not so large aud complete as in former years, with the exception of the woman's department, which is very comprehensive and extensive, including almost every specimen of needle and fancy work known to feminine ingenuity. Au interesting thiug is the “pioneer household,” in the western part of the building, up stairs, which is a large room fitted up with an old-fashioned fireplace, cupboard, gag carpet, chairs and pictures, aud such furniture as the early settlers of this country were obliged to be contented with. The ladies who have in charge the woman’s department, by industrious canvassing and energetic work, have Succeeded in making their display, probably, the best and most interesting feature of the fair. The regular collection of pumpkins, melons and fceets of abnormal size is there, and a fine assortment of fruits of various kinds, while, west of the hall, the poultry building is well filled. NATURAL HISTORY DEPARTMENT. This department is iu charge of Dr. R. T. Brown and Fletcher Noe. Fully one-half of all the space is occupied by Mr. Noo’s collections. Mr. Noe took three fourths of all the prizes in natural history last year, and bids fair to take in most of the $125 in prizes to be given this week. One case of winter birds and scenery is <fuito artistic; the remaining cases of stuffed birds *nd mammals, present the same features as last year. Mr. Ed Bowge, of Cumberland. Ind., has two eases of excellently mounted birds, which make by far the most valuable bird exhibit of the present fair. Russell Robinson has a collection of postagestamps; May Fairfield, of nocturnal lepidoptera; Nettie M. Duzan, a collection of plants; J. M. White shows 110 varieties of wood, all natives of Warren township. Most of the space not occupied by Mr. Noe’s collections is taken up by Mr. <5. K. Green, of New Albany, and Dr. A. J. Phinney, of Muncie. who exhibit minerals and fossils. Mr. Green is ProfColiotfs assistant, and i3 ail authority on the fossils of Indiana, particularly of the falls of the Ohio, from which famous locality he has collected more corals than all men living. . The only collection of any real scientific merit, and “not for sale,” is Dr. A. J. Phinney’s series of the fossils of the Indiana rocks from the lower Silurian to the upper coal measures. Dr. X*hinney is a mem ter of the State geological staff. Jflis. fossils consist of over 2.000 specimens, in Binding 860 species and one-third as many genera. ! It is especially rich in corals of the ancient seas. '

The State museum makes no exhibit except the grim old walrus, who has taken up his permanent abode in the Exposition Building. Prof. Hey and Ernest Morris passed the severest strictures, through tlie Journal’s columns, on the conduct and arrangement of prizes in the natural history exhibit of last year, they being the judges appointed by the committee, but the prize award is essentially the same now as then. The collection of old coins, which is worth per haps S2OO, comes up cheerfully for its annual premium, and the botanical collections have a familiar look. THE SCENE ON THE GROUNDS. Although there was such a large crowd yesterday, there were no serious accidents, and but two or three arrests, and they were for minor offenses. A seven-inch colored boy, who stole a small package of candy, was yanked around the ground by two able bodied policemen with such exceeding vigor as to occasion the belief that a few murderers had been arrested. The ground is filled with all sorts of devices to catch the spare change of the visitor, and there are “fakirs” of various kinds almost beyond number. Besides two canvas shows, wherein aro displayed fat women and children, big snakes, and other “living curiosities,” there are a rollercoaster, which did an immense business with the children, and an “elevated railroad,” which was equally well patronized. Candy and fruit stands are on all sides, and there aro enough eating houses to accommodate a much larger crowd than is likely to he in attendance. Yesterday the grounds were very muddy in various places, and dirt laden boots and bedraggled skirts were calculated to disturb the serenity of mind of the ladies who were there. All afternoon n largo crowd lingered anxiously about the amphitheater and track, waiting for the races which did not come off, for the greater part of the track was ankle deep in mud. THE AWARDS ON LIVE STOCK. T In the department of Holstein cattle, W. O. Jackson, of South Bend, took first premium on bulls, three years old, two years old, cow two years old, and J. W. Stillwell, of Troy, Ohio, took all the remaining premiums. On Ayrshire?, William Fairwether, of Erie county, Pa., took first premiums in all the classes, his only competitor being T. E. Wright, of Millbury, Ohio. On Jerseys, Peter Raab, city, took first premium on bull three years old; William E. Higgins, Metzler, Ind., on bull two years old. cow two years old, and heifer calf; W. A. Ketcham, city, on bull one year old, and bull calf; W. J. Hasselman, city, on heifer Bne year old; Gavrettson Bros., of Pendleton, on cow three years old. On Devonshire*, Irwin York, of Brock, Ohio, took first on bull three years old; W. E. Higgins, Metzler, Ind., bull two years old; J J. Scarff & Son, New Carlisle, Ohio, bull one year old, heifer one year old; Whitmore & Youngs, Cnsstown, Ohio, on heifer calf, heifer one year old, cow two years old, cow hree years old, and bull calf. THE PROGRAMME FOR TO DAY. Besides the awards in the live-stock department to day there will be a trotting race, postponed from yesterday, 2:37 class, purse $150; a trot, 2:27 class, purse S2OO, and a three-minute trot, purse S2OO. To-day, also, the great floral display will be made, for which premiums aggregating S6OO are offered. Tlie people from out of town began coming in in large numbers last night, and an immense crowd may be expected, if the weather is at all favorable. Notes of Displays. NINETY WRITTEN WORDS A MINUTE. One of the most attractive articles on exhibition at the State Fair is the Ideal Caligraph, tlie only perfect writing machine that is made. This is to be seen manipulated by an expert operator, on the main floor of the Exposition Building, a little west of the northern stairway. This "wonderful maehine lias gained such popularity that the factory is now turning out nearly 100 of them a day, and they are being shipped to all parts of the United States and Europe. The caligraph is of almost incalculable advantage to .the business man and the professional man. The speed obtained is from seventy to words a minute. As writers with the wr ite only from twenty to thirty words/,, minute, tho caligraph with its dispatch,<jf business is an invalu-

able aid to the counting room and to the lawyer, the doctor, the preacher and the editor. Tho caligraph commends itself because of the legibility of its work—it is clear and clean as print. Besides this it is an advertisement to the house that uses it—people like to transact business with a house that writes letters which there is no difficulty in deciphering, and about the contents of which there can be no question. It is easily operated, and one week's practice will perfect a person in its use so that he can write much more rapidly than with a pen. It is also simple and durable in construction. H. T. Condo, Nos. 76 and 78 West Washington street, is State agent for the Ideal Caligraph. NINETY-ONE BRIDGES. The Indianapona Fridge Company makes no pretentious exhibit, but in t-hc southeast corner, main floor of the Exposition Building it has a space in which it shows several finished sect'ons of bridge work and numerous photographs of the excellent bridges it has made. This company has built ninety-one bridges in Indiana alone during the past year. All interested in bridge work are invited to visit the factory, corner of Biddle street and the Bee-line railroad tracks. THE M'CORMIUK STEEL BINDER. Probably tne most interesting piece of machinery upon the ground to the progressive, wide-awake farmer will he found in the fifth pavilion east of the Exposition Building, on the north side of the wide roadway or street It is the new McCormiefc steel binder aud harvester, in Which the acme of perfection in a harvesting machine must certainly be reached—and reached by the McCormick, which always has and, from the present outlook, always will lead the van. One hundred and sixty of these machines were made and sold this summer—enough to make the test thorough—and their success has been complete. It is much lighter than the harvester of 1883 and 1884. Not only is it lighter and neater, being made of malleable iron and steel, but it is mot'q durable, and with little opportunity to get out of order, because of the rna teriai of which it is made. There is no doubt that in the steel binder the McCormick lias got so far ahead of all possible coipetition that it may take a long rest on the honors it has won. The MeCormick No. 2 steel mower is also here. It has a full four and four and a half foot cut, and, instead of the former dividing shoe or slide, now has a wheel. The agent for these valuable inventions io J. B. Heywood, Nos. 167 aud 169 East Washington street. Ammonia in Baking Powders. Scientific American. Among the recent discoveries in science and chemistry, none is more important than the uses to which common ammonia can be*properly put as a leavening agent, and which indicate that this familiar salt is hereafter to perform an active part in the preparation of our daily food. The carbonate of ammonia is an exceedingly volatile substance. Place a small portion of it. upon a knife and hold over a flame, and it will almost immediately be entirely developed into fas and pass off into the air. The gas thus ormed is a simple composition of nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is left from the ammonia. This gives it its superiority as a leavening power over soda and cream of tarter used alone, and has induced its use as a supplement to these articles. A small quantity of ammonia in the dough is effective in producing bread that will be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome than that risen by any other leavening agent. When it is acted upon by the heat of baking the leavening gas that raises the dough is liberated. In this aat it uses itself up, as it were; the ammonia is entirely diffused, leaving no trace or residuum whatever. The light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so desirable in biscuits, etc., and so sought after by professional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by the use of this agent. The bakers and baking powder manufacturers producing the finest goods have been quick to avail themselves of this useful discovery, and the handsomest and best bread and cake are now largely risen by the aid of ammonia, combined, cf course, with other leavening material. Ammonia is one of the best Known products of the laboratory. If, as seorns to be justly claimed tor it, the application of its properties to the purposes of cooking results in giving us lighter ar,d more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove a boon to dyspeptic humanity, and will speedily force itself into general use in the new field to which science has assigned it. Township Trustee s Report, The township trustees report for September is as follows: Number of applications, 396; ap plicants aided, 337; refused, 59; total, 390. Ex-

Suit has been filed by Martha E. Davis against the partners of Fletcher & Sharpe's Bank to recover $4,000 on deposit in the bank when it failed. Katie Oswiler has entered suit against David Hanna for the recovery of $5,000 damages. She charges that Hanna made a rude and indecent assault upon her, at her residence, near Oakland, last August—hence the demand. Alice Kirsch has appealed to *hecourts to compel her husbaud, Frank, to support her. They married in 1878 and have two children. She claims. ♦hat her husband, who is employed by the 1., B. & . ail road Company, deserted her on Sept 24, taking ''art of her household fur uiture. Frank gets SOO r month, and Alice wants SSO of it Suit has been entered against A. & J. C. S. Harrison and R. N. Lamb, receiver, by the In dianapolis Manufacturers’ and Carpenters’ Union. The complaint alleges that in August last the plaintiffs got judgment for $3,344.80 against the Harrisons and they now ask that this judgment be declared a lien on all the property of defendants now in the hands of Judge Lamb as receiver. The last will and testament of the late Isaac H. Richards was admitted to probate yesterday. It bequeaths to the widow the share of deceased in the mill of Richards 6c Butler, and states that whatever the decedent had was his wife's, as he was indebted to her for it, she being his adviser and helpmeet. She is named as guardian of their five children and charged with their religious education, and as the sole executor of the will. Dr. Hayliss’s Silver Wedding. Dr. J. H. and Mrs. Bayliss celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their. marriage at their residence in Cincinnati on Monday night. The account in the Enquirer of yesterday ys: 4 ‘Among tho guests present last evening were nearly all the Methodist ministers of this city, many of other denominations, and leading laymen from St. Paul s, Trinity and other leading Meihodist churches. The congregations from Walnut Hills were largely represented, aud many of Dr. Bayliss s recent parishioners contributed very handsome remembrances in tlie form of silver articles of beauty, elegance and usefulness. “Avery unique gift was that of a basket filled with flowers, underneath which was revealed a mass of bright, new, standard dollars of 1884. The friends who contributed to this amount made the request that the Doctor and i his wire would invest the amount, in such way as might suit their fancy, in some handsome article of ware or furniture that should remain in their family as a memorial of this occasion. ‘‘No formal ceremony of marriage was performed, but the genial groom renewed his fealty to the companion of a quarter of a century of married life by placing on her finger a magnificent solitaire ring.”’ At tlie Theaters. The attendance at the various theaters “picked up" considerably last night, and with the influx | of Stafco fair visitors to-day crowded houses i may bo expected during the remainder of tho week. Mr. Dan Sully and his “Corner Grocery” j will be seen at English's this afternoon and for the last time to night, while Gus Williams in ; “Captain Mishler,*’ will bo tlie attraction for tho remainder of the week. At the Grand the strong melodrama “Romany 14ye” will be seen , during the remainder of C,e week by the Brooks |6c Dicksen company. Miss Victory Bateman is the best “Gertie llecket’’ that has played the part in this city, and tho scenic effects are un- | usually striking. At the Park “Tho Bandit Kiug” drew an overflowing house last night, and the Zoo was largely attended. Tho last named gives matinees daily, and all the houses will.give matinees to day. Backache indicates kidney trouble which St. Jacob’s Oil will cure.
