But a bad old witch, who was a-snoopin' around looking to see what mischief she could do, decreed that the lovely little princess should die upon her sixteenth birthday. Now, the good queen of the fairies didn't like this at all, but when a bad old witch has once started her magic a-going, it's almost impossible, you know, to thwart its evil influence. So the good queen of the fairies was pressed pretty hard to think up a plan that would keep the princess from meeting with such a terrible fate. Finally she hit upon a happy thought: she waved her magic wand and ordained that the princess and the funny old King and the funny old Queen and all the people of their court should sleep a hundred years, unless a brave young princa should happen along some day and kiss the sleeping beauty, in which case the witch's enchantment would be broken and everybody would wake up. Well, the years went by and Anally the brave young prince happened along and oh, dear! but he was a handsome young prince! and he kissed the sleeping beauty, of course, (who wouldn't) end restored her and all of the people of the court to consciousness again. And the prince and the princess straightway fell in love with each other and were about to be wedded, when what do you think happened? The bad old witch turned up! And what do you s'pose she did? Why, she turned the handsome young prince into a horrid, ugly beast. Oh, thosa were dreadful times, and for a while things went from baa to worse. But the good queen of the fairies came to the rescue 01.ee more and sprinkled another assortment of good magic over the kingdom so that the pr'neess, by kissing the handsome prince (things were just turned around this time, you see; brought him back to his own charming personality. And everybody was exceedingly joyous and all, except the bad old witcn, lived happily ever after, and when But you'd better go and see it all for yoursefl. To miss the big Drury Lane spectacular extravaganza, "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast,"' which is now being presented at English's, would be to miss one of the most delightful theatrical entertainments ever seen in Indianapolis. The first performance here of the Americanized show from Lrfndon was given last night before an audience that almost completely rilled the theater, and if laughter and applause may be taken as an indication of the measure of enjoyment of an audience in witnessing a performance, the demonstration of approval of the production can only be regarded as the expression of unusual satisfaction. A veritable feast of light and color is this great spectacle and it has converted the stage at English's into a most fascinating fairyland, presided over by a bewitching Queen. a a a There is no doubt that the theater-going public loves a show such as this a changing kaleidoscope of color and movement, shapely girls and wondrous costumes, with music that is Jingling, and occasionally tuneful. This combination constitutes an entertainment agreeable to the senses, requiring little intellectual effort to follow and therefore welcome to people who want to be amused above all else when they take their seats at the theater. It might be argued that apart from these externals the gorgeous stage settings, pretty girls and magnificent costumes apart from this m re gratification of the eye, there is little in the show that is really meritorious. But who cares? It is true that if the queen of the fairies could but manage to inject more subtle humor into some of the lines by a wave of her magic wand the innovation would be welcome, for, frankly, the quartet of librettists J. H. Wood, Arthur Collins, John J. McNully and J. Cheever Goodwmhave failed to give the comedians roles In any way worthy of their ability, thus reducing them to the necessity of introducing specialties that are wholly foreign to the story at issue. However, Harry Bulger, as King Bardout, Will H. Macart, as Queen Spadia, and Joseph Cawthorne, as Lena, the nurse, succeed in treating a lot of merriment in their own peculiar ways, although some of their comedy is horseplay of a rather rough sort. Mr. Bulger's dancing and imitations are clever, but his songs are somewhat tame, and Mr. Macart wins most of his laughs through his ridiculous make-up and boisterous manner. The real comedy hit Is scored by Mr. Cawthorne, who Is genuinely funny In everything he does. He Interpolutes his concertina specialty a musical act which he used to perform In the early days of his stage career and demonstrates that he

Even the most casual observer of the comedy of human life can cheerfully indorse the suggestion that a long and interesting chapter might be written on "The Woes of the Maiden Aunt" "Clara knows how much we all love her three children," remarked a bright bachelor girl, "and, of course, when she and George go off on their frequent little flying trips some one of us goes out and stays with the little ones until the father and mother return. Generally we have a lovely time togetherchildren need and relish a change once in a while. Just as much as grown people do. But last week, when George and Clara went away, I had a serious and rather exciting time of it. Clara loves her children dearly, and dislikes ever to leave them, even in good hands. She is so impulsive, too; and at the last minute always rushes back into the home circle with some extra treasure of delight she has secured for their consolation during her absence. This time, after we all thought she was surely off for the train, she put her head in a side window, dropped a big paper bag in on the floor and said: 'This is positively the last token. Good-bye! Good-bye!' And away she flew. "The paper bag? Well, it contained a pound of chocolate creams. Clara said afterwards she quite forgot that chocolate creams always gave at least two of the three children the toothache. The creams took effect all around this time; Cornelia, little George and Richard in less than kalf an hour were crying with the toothache; and they all had it at intervals day and night during the four days their father and mother were gone. I had to take Cornelia to the dentist and practice faithfully on the others with chloroform and paregoric. Wasn't that pleasant for the maiden aunt?" Menu for a Day.

Potato Soup Beef Cannt-lon Brown Gravy Mashed Potatoes Succotash Apple Salad Wafers Cheese Rice Pudding Coffee is a capable musician, as well as a good low comedian. XXX Viola Gillette appears to fine advantage in the character of Prince Charming. She is a beautiful woman and her voice is by long odds the best in the company. Her song, "The Time to Love' and "Dinah," are the best rendered of all the musical numbers. Pretty Lelia Mclntyre is an ideal Princess Beauty, being one of the young est of all the musical eomedy actresses now before the public, and very eirlish both in voice and appearance. Her songs are sung sweetly ami her specialty, in which she imitates a child, is amusing and deserving of the applause it receives. The role of the witch is well handled by Phoebe Coyne, who appears in a frightful make-up and with a nerve-racking laugh. But why should dainty little Queenie Vassar be cast in the obscure part that she is playing? In the character of an attendant upon the prince she has scarcely anything to do and not a single song to herself. This is a sinful waste of good material. Miss Vassar is pleasantly remembered by well-posted theater-goers as the bright little Parisienne of "The Belle of New York," a role in which she was excellent. John Hyams. as President Petit, and George Ciennett, as Doctor Squills, are fully equal to the small parts that they interpret. xxx It Is to the scenic artists, the costumers and the stage managers that "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" owes its success, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the show as a spectacle. The stage pictures are dazzling in their beauty and the transformation and ballet at the end of the second act must be acknowledged as the most startlingly beautiful scene ever witnessed in an Indianapolis theater. It is here that the dance symbolic of the four seasons takes place. The dancers representing spring appear costumed as lilacs, vio lets, hawthornes, primroses, apple blossoms and all the flowers of the season. Then the dancers representing summer come into view, appearing in all the infinite variety of lovely roses. The dancers of the fall then glide upon the stage, garbed in the hundred tints af autumnal foliage, the yellow of the grain and the scarlet of the poppies. Finally come the dancers of the winter, all in suowy white, with head dresses of holly and its bright red berries. The Grigolatis troupe of aerial ballet dancers, a dozen pretty girls of small stature, dressed to represent snowbirds, perform a graceful ballet, during which they fly over the heads of the other dancers on invisible wires, and the curtain falls on a picture so rich in color scheme as to be actually bewildering. The finale to that second act is the real climax of the production and what follows after scenes which would ordinarily be considered very beautiful seem of little consequence in comparison. The "ballet of the four seasons"' should come at the very end of the extravaganza so as to send the audience away full of wonder and delight. "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" will run throughout the week at English's, and it is sure to attract crowded houses at all performances. There will be matinees on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The Vaudeville at the Grand. There are few serious moments in the vaudeville bill at the Grand this week. Almost from beginning to end the programme purports to be a mirth-provoking one and, for the most part, it is amusing and diverting. The entertainment is not of an even degree of merit throughout few vaudeville shows are but there is so much that is good in it that the amusement-seeker can well afford to pass lightly over those portions of it that are not so good. Out of the eight acts that make up the bill five are put together for the sole purpose of causing laughter and the good-sized audiences that tilled the theater yesterday afternoon and evening seemed to thoroughly enjoy all that was dished up to them on the frivolous bill-of-fare. The leading feature of the programme is a farcical comedietta written by Milton Nobles and presented by Mr. Nobles, his wife, Dollie Nobles, and Miss Genevieve Cliff. It is called "A Bluegrass Widow" and, although it is a tritie too long-drawn out, it contains many bright lines and several laughable situations. It tells the story of a gay married man a stock broker who has been amusing himself with a 'harmless flirtation." as he chooses? to call it, despite the fact that his conscience is troubling him sorely. A handsome young widow from Kentucky that's how aha comes to be called a bluegrass widow" decides to bring the flirtatious husband to his senses and. disguising herself as a naval cadet, she pretends to carry on an intrigue with the pretty wife of the stock broker. The latter becomes furious with Jealousy and, after s number of complications, the little piece winds up quite merrily to the satisfaction of everybody. Mr. Nobles is funny as the husband, Mrs. Nobles is attractive and spirited as the widow and Miss Cliff very pretty, but somewhat colorless as the wife. Harriet Avery titrakosch, who was formerly a corcert singer, is given the second

place of honor on the programme. She

would fully deserve this place if she but exercised better judgment in the selection of her songs, for her voice is a high, clear soprano of exceptional quality and her sing ing is beyond the ordinary. Her hrst num ber, a love ballad entitled "Star of My Life" is a beautiful though unpretentious composition and she renders it in splendid style. But. unfortunately, Miss Strakosch has selected as her other offerings or at least she did at yesterday's performances two well-worn, common-place songs that are entirely unworthy ot her voice. Great favorites lu Indianapolis are Jack Nor worth, the monologue comedian, and his wire, who is known on the stage as Louise Dresser, and each was giveu a hearty re ception yesterday. Mr. Nor worth has a good assortment of stories and jokes and gets a good deal of comedy out of all his material. He is a much better singer than the average vaudeville comedian, his ability in this direction makiug his act all the more en joyable. Miss Dresser is unusually artistic in her rendition of negro melodies and erio comic songs. She not only sings her songs well, but acts with delicious humor, while wearing very handsome dresses and making a charming appearance. The dog circus given by Professor Meehan is the flrst trained animal act of the season at the Grand, and it is well worth seeing. a here are twenty-five of the four-footed performers, most of them little fellows, and they are about as clever a lot of jumpers, acrobats and trick players as any dog-; that have ever broken into the show business. Their master has trained them so well that he is never obliged to use his whip, for which an audience is always grateful. A word from him, and the dog spoken to does exactly as commanded. Roberts, Hayes and Roberts, a trio of singers and dancers, contribute a nonsensical specialty that is almost the same as the one presented by the ame trio at the Grand last season. The dancing forms the best feature of the act, as the dialogue is not as funny as it is meant to be. The same criticism holds good in the case of Mr. and Mrs. J. Searl Allen, who give an act called "The Rent Collector." Both of these pei-formers are excellent dancers, but their comedy succeeds only in advertising a number of breakfast foods and "canned goods." Carleton and Terre, two comic vocalists, possessing voices that are really musical, please with their songs and create some laughter with their idiotic dialogue. The bioscope is by no means the least interesting contributor to the show. Its moving views this week are all very entertaining. "Snprrba" at the Park. There are more things in "Superba" than are dreamed of in anybody's philosophy. The old favorite made its appearance again last night at the Park and was received with riotous enthusiasm. Messrs. Hanion have made a number of well-considered improvements this year while retaining the features which have given the extravaganza its popularity; as a result it was more than ever pleasing. There are two things about "Superba" which are especially worthy of note. One is the almost diabolically clever mechanial effects; the other the effective scenic displays. Mere men and women count for little in the show, they are but the instruments of the magi, the demons, the devils, the gnomes, who turn heaven into hell and hell back into heaven for the undoing of merry Pierrot, who, thanks to the good spirits that watch over him, escapes them all. "Superba." as ever, is a panorama of surprises. So startling are the transformations, the sudden, hair-raising movements that the audience would hardly have moved a muscle if the roof of the theater had suddenly been removed, or if the floor had fallen away and left is suspended in the air. Nothing was too extraordinary to be impossible, and therein lies the success of the show. Fred Hanlon. as Pierrot, was agile, graceful and of great mobility of countenance the principal requisites. George Hanlon, as the King, moved with majesty and wore his gorgeous gowns becomingly. As Superba Violet Holmes dazzled the crowd, who received her with applause at such times as the ever popular Pierrot was removed from the center of the stage. George Hanlon, jr., as Augustus, John H. Haslam, as the Queen, and Carrie Behr as Gretchen are among others that deserve special mention. Who is there that does not know "Superba?" "Superba" is "Superba," as it was in the days of the past generation and as it will be in the days of the generation that succeeds the present one. Crowded houses are attesting to its hold on the theatergoer. Good Burlesqne at the Empire. The week the Tiger Lilies were at the Empire last year was one of the few welcome oases in the otherwise monotonous aridity of burlesque offered during the season. The Tiger Lilies company that opened at that theater yesterday afternoon is Just a few shades better than the one of last season. That this is true, and it is, should be sufficient to guarantee the company crowded houses all through the week, and it doubtless will, although the audience at the first performance was not up to the usual Empire Monday afternoon staudard. A certain element of patrons that prefer pure vulgarity with a thin veneer of an excuse for production on the stage will be disappointed with the Tiger Lilies, but those who like flrst-elu"s burlesque lu every sense of the word will be more than pleased. The Tiger Lilies certainly present all the desirable features of good burlesque. They have a chorus of sprighty, comely girls real girls handsomely costumed, well drilled and with excellent voices that they kuow how to use; music that is new for the most part, and all catchy; comedians that offer genuine comedy that is c.-an, even if it embraces many of the conventional, knock-about features, and an olio of specialties, every turn of which is cn a par with those seen at vaudeville houses. James E. Cooper and wife, iueia Cooper, who are well known in Indianap jI.s, are at the head of the company uud their vork is excellent, but the standard they set is measured up to by all the other members of the company who are given the opportunity. Put to mention all the good features would be to cite each and every one The burlesque, "Taking Things Easy " is given in two acts with the olio sandwiched in between. Cooper, Tom Robinson. Clarence Wiliur, Frank Berry and Victor Milo, assisted by Julia Natus and Stella Mack, supply the comedy, while Victor Milo, Lucia Cooper, Olga Orloff and the girls furnish the music. Olga Orloff, In particular, is deserving of praise, as 'she has a voice far above Empire standards. "The Fire Brigade," by the Tiger Lilv girls, is a ballet altogether new, and it made a decided hit. Clarence Wilbur, with his song, "A Kiss for Each Girl in the Bunch," made one of J.he hits of the flrst act. The Morrisey Sisters, graceful dangers and good singers, opened the olio and well earned the recalls they received. They are followed by "Edestus," the equilibrist, whose work is without a flaw, but must be seen to be appreciated. The Coopers in "Tangled Talk." are entertaining with their dialogue and with their parody on "In the Sweet By and By." The well known musical team of Howe, Berry and w alters are just as runny as ever and their music is just as good, but, more to be desired, they have clothed their turn in a new dress, "Fun in a Post Office,'' and the features are almost all new Plarcnoa Wilbur, assisted by Tom Robinson and a Devy ot pretty gins, closes the olio with a hannv one-act farce. "Pntsv'a Off T q m n in which Wilbur makes the most of his opportunities. In the second act of the burlesque the "Pllplcprhnish Rand Anil 'Pllr-lr.T-Kr-iioVi Quartet" are the features, although Lucia n M 1 aa 1 v.ooper. uiKa uriou aim ine cnorus gins aie seen anu nearu 10 an auvantage. The Tiger Lilies are billed but for on week, but they will be wanted again be fore the season Is over. "Lady Doriuthla'n Secret.' DETROIT, Mich.. Sept. 14-To-night. in the Detroit Opera House, "Lady Bertnthia's Secret," a four-act comedy by Stanilaus flange, was given its first production, with Mrs. Sara Cowell Lemoyne as Lady Berinthia. Mrs. Lemoyne and her company, who were presented by Fred C. Whitney, former! of this city, scored a decided success la the comedy. The story is laid lu London in l'i' and the dress and manners of the period are carefully copied. Mrs. Le mo. ne's portrayal of the wife who made herself a frivolous, gossiping woman was splendid, ami til only rivaled by the work of W. J. Ferguson, as Lord Foppington. a idy and fop of the time. Other prom lneut members of the cast were Harold Russell, Francis Stevens. Flea nor Barry, Virginia Buchanan and P. Peyton Gibbs. Sew Theater aad Sew Pia. BOSTON, Mass.. Sept. 14 To-night was historic in Boston's dramatic circles, as It chronkled the opening of the new Globe Theater as well as recorded the first performance of a new play called "John Ermine, of the Yellowstone," with James K. Hackett as the leading character. The

new theater is unde- the management of Weber & Fields, and its site is not many rods distant from that of the old Globe Theater, which was destroyed by Are several years ago. The play of "John Ermine, of the Yellowstone," which had its first production to-night, is founded upon Frank Remington's frontier novel of the same name, dramatized by Louis E. Shipman. The play was warmly received and Mr. Hackett was forced to respond to many curtain calls. AUTHORESS IN THE CITY

MISS CAROLINE KROl'T HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. AS A WRITER. She Has Jmt Finished a New Story That Carries the Title of "Archibald Kenihan." A young woman of medium height, dark complexion and dark hair, save where a few silvery ones have begun to prematurely show about the temples, lounged at ease in one of the luxurious settees in a gallery overlooking the main lobby of the Claypool Hotel the other afternoon. "I wonder why they didn't make the celling higher," she observed, taking in the general architecture of the hotel with critical eye. "I think I would," she added, "had I been planning the house." The reporter who conversed with her thought of Dr. Quayle's epigram, "Men investigatewomen know things," but he had the good judgment not to quote the doctor on this occasion. The feminine observer Is a woman who dreamed the plot and name of a story and has just finished it and has it ready for the publisher. The name of the story is "Archibald Kenshaw," a "problem story," as it is described, and the woman who wrote it is Miss Caroline Krout, known to the literary world as "Caroline Brown." Her story of the "Wea Trail" is just off the presses and it has been pronounced among the best of the historical novels. Miss Krout is a sister of Miss Mary Krout, a wellknown writer, and lives at Crawfordsville. She was on her way to one of the Michigan lakes to get some rest, having just finished her new story the dream novel, as it might be called. "I've spent my time this summer," she said, "washing the dishes and pounding a typewriter. When I wasn't doing one I was at the other." Miss Krout was in the city several days and her sister. Mil's M. H. Krout, spent part of the summer here finishing a story of her travels in China of whieh she so delightfully writes. Miss Caroline Krout took the name of "Caroline Brown" at the suggestion of Mrs. Lew Wallace. "I didn't like the name of Krout," she said, "it's an ugly name and one day while calling on Mrs. Wallace she suggested the other name and I took it for my stories." Miss Krout s "Wea Tran " was finished about the time "Alice of Old Vinceunes," the late Maurice Thompson's famous story, became the talk of the country. Both aie historical novels and both deal with the old fort at Vincennes. One deals with the outside of the fort and the other the in side. Miss Krout almost cried vith oatlon when she found Mr. Thompson had touched on some of the things she wrote about. She thought about it a great d al ana worried eome. One night she nad a dream and in her dream she wrote a story entitled "Archibald Henshaw" and it was a success She dreamed the plot clearly and next morning went to work on it. lUaa Krout writes rapidly and notwithstanding that she kept house for her father last summer and "did the dinner dishes" peven times a week she managed to grind cut the 'ast manuscript of the story on tho typewriter. She prefers to put her stories into manuscript that way. She thinks quickly and she finds it more satisfactory. The typewriter Is coming into common 1 se amongst story writers. George Barr McCutcheon does not use a machine, but dictates a great deal of his stuff to an operator, who puts it into manuscript almost as fast as he talks it. W. D. Howells told an Indianapolis reporter a few years ago that he wrote his novel, "The Story of a Play," on a typewriter himself, and said he got more satisfaction out of it while at work than out of anything he over wrote. Miss Krout says the happiest complirm n't she ever received regarding her literary work was from a woman ho had just finished one of her short stories. "Oh, Miss Krout," the woman remarked to her one evening at a company, "I have just finished your story and I knew the doctor in the story very well." Considering that the author had had no real person in mind when she wrote the story, she concluded she was becoming decidedly realistic. SPECIAL EXAMINER HERE. Gen. Charles W. Pa-re? Has Finished Work in Indianapolis. Gen. Charles W. Pavey, special United States examiner of federal offices, has been in the city for several days making an examination of the federal offices. He completed the work last night and said that he was satisfied with the result. General Pavey has been making a tour of the whole country. He came here from Kentucky and will probably leave to-day or to-morrow, when he gets word from Washington where to proceed. General Pavey never knows where he will go next until he receives instructions from Washington. He has just completed a tour of the Northern part of the country. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.

STATE FAIR OPENS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE ) horses entered this year that it will take ten show rings to show them in one afternoon. It is necessary to show all the Percherons this afternoon because there are so many other fine horses to be shown that the Percherons would not have any show after to-day. McLaughlin Brothers, of Columbus, 0.. have a stable of Percherons in the barn just south of the grandstand worth $60,000. These horses won the first prizes in the government heavy horse show in France recently. They have been entered in the two, three and four-year-old classes. They will be exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis next year. McLaughlin Brothers also have a stable of French coach and Belgian horses entered in the heavy-horse class. Crouch & Son, of Lafayette, are exhibitors of imported Percherons. Belgians and German coach horses. Frisinger & Co., of Decatur. Ind., are exhibitors of imported Belgian horses. Wolf & Co.. of Wabash, are heavy exhibitors and importers of flue Belgian horses. Louis Cochran, of Crawfordsville, has eutered a large stable of fine American hackney horses. Mr. Blackstock says that there are fully 200 heavy harness horses entered this year. The five barns are entirely fun and some of the horses have had to be housed outside the regular heavy horse barns. FINE ARTS EXHIBIT. Ttie fine arts exhibits are specirrjlly larger and finer this year than ever before. Daniel McDonald is in charge of the fine arts building. Said he yesterday afternoon: "A good deal has been said, I see, about the big and fine exhibits of stock and farming implements, and buggies, and carriages and many other things. But nothing has been said yet In the papers about what we are doing in the fine arts building. Now this building musn't be overlooked. For the fine arts exhibits this year are going to be immensely better and larger than ever before. More money has been given this department for prises than ever before." The hand-painted china exhibits are in cnarge of Mrs. A. J. Inks, of Ligonier, and Mrs. G. W. McCoy, of Vincennes. This department contains about 1,000 single exhibits. In the pyrography booth Miss Law, of Terre Haute, exhibits two pieces of very tine work a full-length portrait of Charles the Second anda bust portrait of Rubens. These are two of the best specimens of pyrography ever exhibited in Indianapolis. They were done in New York. The lace department is in charge of Mrs. Berry, of Tipton, who will have charge of the lace department at the Louisiana Purchase exposition next year. Mrs. Berry says the point lace work and the Battenburgs exhibited this year are of a much finer quality than were ever exhibited at the Indiana State fair before. The lace exhibit contains about 126 pieces. Mrs. Jesse Overstreet is in charge of the needlework department. The largest ex hibit in needlework is that of Mrs. Talbot, of Lexington, Ky. A lunch cloth, embroidered in orchids, is said to be the finest piece of work in the exhibit. Archie Vance, of Paris, 111., is another exhibitor of some very fine work in needlework. The picture department in both the amateur and professional booths, like most of the other departments in the fine arts building, contains a larger number of exhibits this year than before. The professional booth is In charge of Miss Robinson, of Vincennes. There are between 400 and 500 pictures in the exhibit. They are divided into about forty-five different classes. The largest professional exhibit is that of Mrs. Spahr, of Indianapolis. She has entered about 100 canvases, and her work is seen in almost every class. Miss Smith, of Vincennes, is in charge of the amateur booth. In this department there are also about forty classes and the number of entries is some place between 400 and 500. Miss Akiss, of Indianapolis, Is the largest amateur exhibitor. NOT UP TO STANDARD. The agricultural exhibit this year is not up to the standard, owing to poor crops. Tha weather has been unfavorable to the farmers this year and for this reason the exhibits in Agricultural Hall are not as good as they have been in past years. The exhibit is large this year and complete, but falls somewhat short of the standard of the agricultural exhibits at the Indiana state fair on account of the unfavorable weather. C. B. Benjamin, of Crown Point, is in charge of this department. John W. Whitesides, of Johnson county, is the largest exhibitor in the agricultural department. He has what is known as a county exhibit that is, an exhibit containing everything raised by Indiana farmers, at least, as many things as can be raised on Johnson county soil. The exhibit takes up half of the entire north side of the building. Mr. Whitesides also has a vegetable exhibit which is very fine. George Runler. of Hancock county, haa a large vegetable display and the only seed exhibit in the building. Among the other exhibitors in this department are Clove & Overstreet, of Franklin; Mr. Whaley, of Shelbyville; Mr. Baker, of Shelbvville; F. M. Whipps. of Byhabla. O., and J. Keckley, of Marysville, O. The Shropshire exhibits of John L. Thompson, of Gas City, president of the State Board of Agriculture, are among the prominent exhibits in the sheep department. Mr. Thompson is known all over the country for his fine Shropshires and he is always one of the prominent exhibitors at the state fair. Mr. Thompson was the flrst Indiana farmer to take first prizes at the Indiana state fair on his Shropshires. That 4 was in 1S83. LOCAL. iihhm:ik Ot STEP. They Had to Give Way to the Owners of Race Horses. Mark S. Claypool. who is in charge of the speed department, had considerable trouble yesterday morning in getting several local horsemen to give up their stalls in the speed barns northwest of the trjek. One or two of the "squatters," as they are called, refused to give up the stalls In which their horses were quartered, and Mr. Claypool had to take several policemen to the speed barns with him to make the "squatters" understand that they would have to make way for the horses entered in the racing events. The Indianapolis horsemen had been renting stallroom in the barns from Mr. ClayPOOL They have been training their horses on the mile track at the fair grounds. But he told them yesterday morning that th y would have to remove their horses so the race horses could be housed. This they refused to do. But whether they refused or not made no difference to the blue coats. The policemen didn't bandy words with the horsemen, but simply led th horses out of the barns and tied them to trees, then dumped tho harness and other things li- : nging to the local horsemen out on the ground.
