U. W. The Remington Fair opened Wednesday with perhaps a larger attendance than usual on the first day of the exhibition, j The exhibits in the various departments were rather better than usual at this place. They had the full compliment of huxters. merry-go-rounds, tent J shows, gambling devices and etc. I The races advertised were all filled, and were watched with great interest, and close attention by the assembled people as well as were the base-ball games. On Wednesday evening j the rain began to fall, and continued on through the greater part of Thursday so that the' show was continued until Friday, no admittance being charged for Thursday. A game of ball was played Wednesday between the Goodland and Remington nines, which resulted in a score of 12 to 3in favor of Goodland. The fair assbciation concluded to continue the show over to Saturday owing to the rains of Thurs ■ day spoiling that days entertainments. apd accordingly Thursday's entertainments were given Friday and Friday's entertainments were given on Saturday. On Friday there was a game of ball played between Goodland and Monticello nines which resulted in a score of 6 to 2 in favor of Monticello. The score stood as follows: Monticello. 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 4—6 Goodland ..0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 . The following are the summaries of Wednesday's races : 2:40 class. Pacing. Purse $l5O.

The Monticello Knights of I Pythias band furnished music j for the fair association, and also for the Marvin Tilden Steele Comedy Company at Durand Hall on several evenings. This band is probably as good as any lin the State of Indiana. It is i simply immense. The fair association lacks about SSOO of the necessary amount to pay all the debts contracted this year, including improvements and premiums. There was probably sl.1 000 expended on the new ampitheaterand other substantial im-
provements which are valuable and lasting and are a credit to the management of the association. Notwithstanding the shortage of SSOO all premiums will be paid with a 100 cents on the dollar. The association having adopted a resolution to that effect, while not bound so to do by the rules of the society. We think their plan to pay in full is a wise one. as it will keep their standing good in the estimation of the patron>. Miss Hattie and Mr. David Yeoman. Jr., and D. F. Grant and family of near Rensselaer visited with the family of Ira W. Yeoman on Friday and Saturday. They took in the fail' Friday and the theater Friday night and returned to their homes on Saturday. Many Rensselaer people were on the fair grounds on Friday, and all seemed to enjoy themselves properly. Thursday s rain having settled the dust and cooled t’ne atmosphere so that life was no longer a burden. The attendance was also good from Newton. Benton and Wh ; te counties. One of the incidents of the fair was the arrest of three of the gamblers who invariably infest all country fairs, the warrants being sworn out by men of the same class. The tight grew out of the fact that one Greenup and his gang had secured the exclusive privileges of the grounds, and the fellows failing to get any .concessions from Greenup they commenced their legal war on him and his palls Thursday by 1 having three of them orought

into court. The affidavit on which the warrant in the case however, was held bad, and the prisoners were released. This had the effect to clean out every gaming institution on the grounds and nothing more was seen of them on Friday or Saturday. Taking all things into consideration the fair was an improvement on any previous fair held here for several years at least. On Saturday night some person entered the room where Arthur Roberts and young Mr. Richcreek were sleeping, over the restaurant of C. W. Horner, and abstracted Roberts’ watch, $4 in money and his pocket knife, and also took some property from Richcreek. We have learned that Roberts’ money and watch was returned to him. Roberts threatens to prosecute the thief. The writer has not learned the name of the guilty party. Dash.

CHINA WEDDING. The inclemency of the weather, reinforced by deep rolling echos and angry sparks from Vulcan’s mighty anvil, sadly marred the spendorof the reception given Tuesday night by Rev, and Mrs. Paradis at their beautiful west-side home, to their pastoral associates and other friends, in commemoration of their twentieth wedding anniversary. Nearly two hundred were expected to join the ' high hosts in rejoicing at the j happy consummation of this important cycle of time in life’s ceasless roll; the magnificient lawn had been prettily prepared for illumination and the spacious home elaborately decorated for the occasion; the local cornet band was engaged for open air entertninment and the Healy orchestra was to have filled the halls with harmonies. A wealth of flowers and tropical plants were placed in the various rooms, and the fifty or more guests who braved the threatening tempest were received with that charming hospitality so peculiarly a part of the people of joyous France. The tireless entertainers succeeded in completely captivating every heart and when they again throw open their doors it will take more than disagreeable weather to absent* their guests. Refreshments of tempting dainties had been prepared for fully two hundred and the merry party felt called upon to act in double capacity, that there might not be so many conspicuously absent, and it is believed

An Attractive Programme.
The attention of our readers is called to the announcement of the Kentland Fair association. The association will give their seventh annual exhibition on the fair grounds immediately adjoining Kentland, from Sept. 10 to 13 inclusive. It has been the aim of the directory to provide. entertainment for both old and young this year. Special attention has been given to the floral hall department, and it is confidently expected that this exhibition will excell that of former years. The outlook for the speed ring is very promising. Entries are being made in all the races and from present indications the race card will be an attractive feature of the meeting. The lovers of bicycling will be gratified, and Wednesday a good race is promised visitors. The purse. $75, is sufficiently attractive to induce riders of more than ordinary speed to contest for the prize. The revivial of interest- in base ball has induced the directory to provide two very excellent games for the amusement of the people. The managers of the Goodland and Remington clubs have agreed to the game Wednesday afternoon, and promise a splen-
did game of ball. Friday the winner of Wednesday's game will play the Biook nine, and the Brook boys are in training with the intention of carrying off the prize. Last year the old settlers' meeting was such an enjoyable feature that theassoiation felt inclined to provide some special attraction this year. It was decided that the little school children be requested to arrange a programme, and County Superintendent Pfrimmer. acting for the schools, accepted the invitation. Mr. Pfrimmer has the arrangements in charge, and this will insure a complete and entertaining programme for Wednesday. Hon. D. M. Greeting, state superintendant of public instruction, will deliver an address and will be followed by Prof. T.J.Basset, one of the foremost educators of the day. Thursday’s and Friday’s programme nave not been neglected and visitors will be amply repaid for their time and trouble if they attend those days. With one of the best tracks in northwestern Indiana, plenty of good pure water, and the grounds lying within three squares of the depot, all combine to make Kentland an attractive place for a fair meeting. Good music every day. Keystone Corn Husker and Fodder Shredder. Sold by Robt. Randle.
