THE GLORY OF INDIANA. SUCCESSFUL RESULTS OF THE FAIR. Opening Days Throng of Peopla Tb Display 1 Tarion Department! and a CompUt LUt of tho Various Primlami Awarded. Tuesday was, properly speaking, the first day of the fair, and the exposition boildine, like a huge octopus, threw open all its doors and drank in the multitude. It was children's day and the children were all aware of the fact. They swarmed through the main building like bees in a hive. There were a few mammas and older sisters along as chaperones, but the main army consisted of little folks. The association did not adhere to its rule of admitting free, only those under twelve years of age; all pupils of the pubflic schools were admitted free, regardless of age. Ana Sextixel reporter entered ' the grounds a colored boy about eighteen krears of &ze etood outside the gate looking Vistfully in. "Has you got to pay to get rin?" he finally summoned up courage 1 enough to inquire of the gate-keeper. iMYes," replied the gate-keeper, "unless i you are a pupil of the echools; are going Ho school now?" "Yes sir," quickly responded the darkey. "Well, then, this is Jyour day, pass in." And the other needed no second invitation. 0ce inside the ground the children proceeded at once to take possession of everything. An extra force of police made a feeble endeavor to dispute this .possession, but not with much success. The youngsters generally managed to go where and do what they pleased. If they failed in doing it at the first effort they tried again when the olficer wasn't looking. They took most delight in going where they were not wanted. They hung on to the railings around the various exhibits, until the proprietors thereof exhausted themselves in putting them off, and then meekly submitted to all such intrusions. Some fiend had tTu:ht out a ßiipply of punch and ji&ies (whistles), which he distributed among the youngsters, and the din created by those instruments of torture was eomething fearful. But for all that, the children wern't so very bad. They all went everywhere and" saw everything, made a great noise m doing it, wore out their chaperones and the police, and then, preatlv refreshed, went home to supper without having done mueü damage to anyone, and with an inward sense of satisfaction at the thought that there are occasions and places where the kids' rights are respected. THE RACES. Optimus Wins the Three-year-OId Trot and Creeping Kite the Pacing Race. The opening races Tuesday were all that could be expected considering it was the first day, and the grand stand and inner space of the track were literaliy packed with enthusiastic spectators and merrv school children. The judges of the dav were J. W. Fort and Ed Richardson, titv. and A. W. Powell of Newcastle; time-keepers. Frank Walker, city, and I AV. Girard, Crawfordsville; starter, Pick Jones. The first race on the nrogratn was the three-year-old trot, and, as tho entries in this race were not full, a special race of this class took place between Uptiinus, owned by Mart Hare, city, and the hay mare Genesee, owned by J. Nicholas of ShelbvviKe. On scoring the first time both horses came under the wire in good phane and were given the word 'go. with Genesee the iole horse. At the urst turn Optimus broke badly, givini?Jene.see a leaa 8De easiiv mainiainea uiruusuoui, maintained thron comincr under the wire an easy winner by a lencrth. In the seconl heat both horses scored nicely and at the first turn Optimus took the role. Before the first quarter was finished both horses were nose to nose where they remained until within a short distance of the wire on the tirst half. Then Genesee lost her feet and Optimus took the lead and maintained it until near the three quarter pole when Genesse strain closed the gap. They came down the home-stretch neck and neck until near the wire when Genesee again broke and Optimus took the lead and finished winner bv a hall length. When the bell tapped for the third heat both horses came on the track promptly and no time was lost in mounting or fctartinz. Optimus had a slight lead near the wire on the first half which was held to near the finish when Genesee lost her feet very badly, making Optimus an easy winner bv fullv live lengths In the fourth and final heat the horses peored several times before the word for the start was given. On the third atteiyt. however, the starter cave the V" and Optimus was fully a length behind, lie, however, soon settled to speed and passed Genesee, increasing his length to fully fix lengths on the First half. Alter passing under the wire on the last half Genepeo rapidly closed the gap, but lost ground t n the last quarter, Optimus winning the heat by a full length and a half and the race closed.

In the first heat, through much jockeying, the word wm not given to go until fix or seven attempts were made, and when the start was given Creeping Kate had the pole. On the first turn of the first quarter she had lost the pole to Cap 1', with John Conner crowding closely. The entire numler finished the first quarter nicely bunched. In passing under the half-mile wire Creeping Kate had the lead. Cap 1. a good pecond, Hambrino third, Gray Cloud, Steven W. and John JJonner ioiiowing m the order named. After the first turn John Bonner broke badly and Steven W. also broke. The heat ended in Creeping Kate an easy winner, with Cap P. second, Itemey'g Hambrino third. Gray Cloud fourth and John Bonner and Steven W distaneedln the second heat the owner of Gray Clo id changed drivers. The horses went off in good 6tvle with Cap P. in the lead, Creeping Kate lost. Near the close of the first half, Cap P. broke badly and Gray Cloud went to the front followed by Cap I'., Creeping Kate and Hambrino. The heat finally ended, in a very exciting manner with Gray Cloud the winner, Creeping Kate necond, Cap F. third, Hambrino distanced. In the third heat there were bat three etarters, all getting off in jrood ptyle on the first ecore. Gray Cloud, the polo horse, broke badly on the first torn, Cap P going to the front, with Creeping Kate clo9eat his heels and Gray Cloud third. These positions were held to passinz the wire on the first half, when Cap P went eff his feet, giving Creeping Kate third,

these positions remaining unchanged. On the three-quarter stretch Creeping Kate left her competitors in the rear, easily winning the heat by six lengths, with Cup P second, Gray Cloud third and winded. In the fourth and final heat, the horses went off on the first score.twhich soon resulted in Creeping Kate going to the front, Cap P second and Gray Cloud last. The positions remained unchanged throughout the heat, Creeping Kate finishing an easy winner by two lengths, Cap P second and Gray Cloud third. SUMMARY. 2:37 pace Purse.

WEDNESDAY AT THE FAIR. The r.1ia I ntereateil The Live Stock Premiums Awarded. Notwithstanding the morning rain, the crowd of Wednesday exceeded the Wednesday attendance of last year. In fact, the" receipts up to Wednesday last night were larger than in any pre vious vear at the conclusion of the first three days. While the bulk of Wednesday's crowd was probably from out side the citv, there were many towns people in attendance, and among them quite a number of ladies. The band occupied the small position in the center of the main building and iurnished munic, which atiorded quite ;ittr!itinn for manv. lue rriiirir,:il attraction for the laaies and probably the finest feature of the pres ent state fair is the tlorai tuspiay. nr the announcement was made a few weeks ago that Vick ot" Rochester, X.

It is generally conceded that one of the Indianapolis flnrkta has the finest exhibit in the build ing, and the decision of the judges in this denartment will be awaited with interest bv those who would like to see a Iloosier exhibiter come out aheau oi tne lamous New Yorker. As heretofore, the woman s department catches the majority of the visitors, and the crowd on the second noor is always in excess of that below. Mrs. "oe ia a i.rnii.i observer of this fact, for she takes i-ommendable rriue in tne success 1 ... ... At of her department.

In the stock departments the general ex hibit has far exceeded that of any former s.-ason and the various ludges have be stowed their premiums with more than usual care.

ing, caliber, indigo, delve," etc., once. lie may take time occasionally to write a hard word in long hand, but he will fail almost certainly if he is obliged to hesitate for an instant before writinir one of those frequent words or phrases. Hence the teacher will drill his class daily, and require the pupil's practice to be devoted mainly to this class of words.

A I'seful Heading Test. Dictate a few sentences backward, Phrasing is not to be employed in writing them. Call on the pupils to read their notes backward. This will cause the meaning to appear. For occasional practice this is excellent. The dictation should of course be slow. Items of Interest. It has been observed that the pen of the long experienced stenographer follows the speaker almost antomatically. It is indeed true that the reporter can, to a certain extent, take note? while thinking of somethin? else. Stories are told of briliiant young writers taking a nap in the middle of a speech, without losing a single word that fell from the orator's lips. borne stenographers interest themselves with experiments as to how extensive arithmetical calculations can be made while writing 1X) words a minute.

to stand, holdine their note-books apainst the wall. Vowels. The student's chief concern is to know when to write the vowel sound. He can, however, be supplied with no specific rule. He must exercise his own judgment in applying this rule, rr. in reporting, insert as many vowels as may be necessary, pretty fully vocalized, or they will find themselves at sea when the report is to be written. There are some few writers who dispense with vowels entirely. They form their characters well, choose accurate outlines, and brine to bear an exceptional judgment and memory in writing out their reports atterward. Those who use vowels to quite an extent learn to depend on them, and the practice becomes necessary mainly through force of habit. Nothing short of experience and observation will teach the young reporter just to what extent he ousht to use vowels to render his notes intelligible to himself. The difficulty he finds in reading certain outlines will cause him to drop vowels which he does not find helpful in transcribing. Stenographers in time acquire an intuitive faculty telling them as they write, no matter how swiftly, that this word or that requires a vowel, or else in the peculiar connection in which it occurs it meaning will be doubtful afterward, when the tracks ofhis riving pencil are being translated into "English"

Immense Crowds Present A Red Letter Iry in the F.tir Ili'tory. The unfavorable turn in the weather failed to prevent Thursday from being the greatest fair day in the histr of the state. It is estimated that thirty-live thousand people passed into the fair grounds, and that by no means represents all who took advantage of the low radroad rates and came to the city. The crowd about the union station during the greater part of the day was very larsie, and the slreets, stores. theaters, hotels and restaurants were alive with people'. It was a hard day for the street car employes, and a magnificent one to the hack drivers. The bund of hand-organ mendi cants also reaped a cood harvest, and W ashiugton, and one or two other streets were pretty nearly Jin-,1 with them. The crowd h?gan pouring throush the gates at the fair grounds as early as S o'clock acd never stopped oin? until late in the afternoon. Bv noon the mam bunding had jjotten aooui all the moving humanity it could hold, and from that time until the races Pecan to araw the multitude away it wa an arduous task to niovi hont in the bii? hall. The ailes and open Fpaces were crowded almost as densely as the exit ot a theater at tne ciose oi a uu; peiforraancc, and the mob penetrated every part of the building which was not preempted by exhibiters. . . . A majority of the spectators remained wittun the main building until the hour approached for the races to leirin. The crowd had probably reached its maximum at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time both floors of the main building were filled to their utmost cn pacify. There were a thousand people, prob ably, out on the open jrround ; wnne tne ampuitheater at the race track contained the greatest multitude that ever witnessed a race in this city. The entire crowd was standing, and thereby twice aa many were accommoaateu. hen not even standing room was any longer obtainable, as was the cate by 3 o clock, the late comers had to scatter along the fence and crane their necks in order to get a glimpse of the flyers. From 3:.0 o'clock on the crowd dwindled until the gates were closed. When the day's receipts were counted up last night it was found that nearly $14,000 had been taken in during the day. The recular admission price being 50 cents, with children at half-price, it is evident that about ."iO.OOO people paid their way into the grounds. In addition to these, there are about two thousand compiinientaries, not countine the exhibitors and those employed by them. It will be seen, therefore, that 30,000 is none too larire an estimate for ye.-terday's attendance. This has never been equaled at any previous fair. Tho largest attendance thitherto, was in 1?J'., the day of the explosion, in which several persons were killed. THE RACES. Middle Way Wins the 2:37 Trot, aud Wyandotte the Three-Minute Trot. The races Thursday drew the largest crowd ever around the course at the state fair, and it is safe to estimate that fully twenty thousand people withstood the chilly north wind to watch the "high steppers" in their rapid flight around the circle. The horses seemed especially on their mettle, which only increased the interest in the races. Dick Jones officiated as starter, and Messers. John W. Fort of this city. Georjre Hall of Raleigh, and Hick Jackson of Mooresville, as judges. The first race on the day's program was the irnt in which there were eicht entries. but on the tap of the gong only six reported, Tecoma and Minnie H. being withdrawn. lue ctortprs were Billv Worthincton. Lambert, jr., In. T.iip Wann. Frl-rar Wilkes and Middle Way. The starters scored nicely and went off in pood shape and nicely bunched. It was evident before the first quarter was finished that Middle Way was the speediest. Lue Wann was a close second. 1 he first half saw no especial incident, except that Middle Way lost his feet in passim: under the wire in the first half and broke twice baaiy on tne last quarter, nu in fact to a close observer, it was very aouuiful if be was ou his feet in passing under the tri r A n n the finish. Lue Wann showed a splendid heat, never leaving her feet from start to finish, and in fact, should have had the heat, but the judges decided otherwise and the hnt went, to Middle U'av. who. with all his run,.inr nnlv lrf-at Lue Wann by a neck, Lue Winn apr-nnn Kdsrnr Wilkes third. Joe Lam bert, jr., and Billy Worthington finishing in the The second heat resulted in a victory for Middle Way by a length and a half, with Joe d Billv Worthineton third. Lambert, jr. fourth. Lue Wann fifth, and Kdgar Wilkes The third heat was practically the same for Tuition hut as in the previous heat the usual amount of silly jockeying occurred and the word to L'o was" not civen uutil the horses had scored five times. The judges called the drivers to task and threatened a tine of ten dollars each if the hnlnnce scored ahead of the pole horse. This had the desired etlect, and they went oil on the sixth start with l.ue wann gauopiug th wire Bdlv Worthincrton went to tho front nicplv and held Iiis own the first half mile, but broke on the turn and Middle Way tnniz iha IphiI which was retained to the tinish. the hpat windine: ur with Middle Wav first.
