A PAPER FOR TIIE PEOPLE.

THE FAIR.

•dtt-

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION.

THE DISPLAY BY OUR BUSINESS MEN.

A FULL LIST OF PREMIUMS.

The Vigo Agricultural Society dates its organization bank to the year 1865, at which time it was reorganized on a society basis, each member paying into the treasury the sum A five dollars. At that time tbe fairs were held at the old fair grounds north of the city.

Ia tbe month of August 1867 the board of coanty commissioners purchased the grounds at present in use for the sum of 18,977,50, and the following month leased them to the Vigo Agricultural Society for a term of twenty years rent free.

Tbe society was organised as a corporation ^November 30th, 1867, with a capital stock of $10,000, divided iuto 400 shares of |25,00 each. Of this amount 334 shares were ^subscribbed for, but since tbe holders oi the greater pact of it surrendered their shares, none of tbe money having been paid, and tbe stockholders'now number 112, all of whom have paid up the full value of their stock,jamouuting to.f2,800.

Thejgrounds comprise fifty-one acres thirty-one of which we covered with timber, and the remainder is used as a race track. The grove is about the flnesl.in the state and is well provided with stalls for alliklnds of stock, pens for sheep and bogs,'and commodious buildlngSjinjwbich to exhibit all articles entered for competition.

This year tbe board made an improve mant on the grounds by adding to its other attractions a new office for the secretary and a large room overhead for a board room and other general purposes.

FrosnJiappearanoes tbe beginning of the week it seemed as though tjie sue cess of the fair was assured. The weather was all that could be desired and entries came in rapidly.

Owing toitbe "pro rata'' arrangement which tbe board of directors year after year peraistjin insorting in the premium list, tbe.ezhibition in tbe live stock departmentsjwas not nearly so large as It should have'been. There were of course many fine animals on tho grounds, bat persona will not come from a distance with a stock*and remain here a week unless they have some assurance that they are tojrecelve Juome compensation for their trouble and money expended.

Tbe poultry department was tho best filled upon.tho ground. Tbere were a great,many very floe speeimens upon exhibition,Jand the quality of the fowls seem? to be steadily improving from year to year.

The flue art hall was well stocked with tho usual display of fancy work which usually compromises the majority of the entrlesjduring the week.

The display of fruit was rather meagre, but thin was to be expected on account of tbe season.

The professional list in the department of flowers was|not represented at all, and the amateur list bad only one exhibitor, a very poor showing in a community which oould make a splendid display in this line.

The industrious housewife made a great display however. Tbere was enough bread, cake, pie and butter to keep a large boarding house for an indefinite length of time.

The speed programme was enlarged upon during tho week. In addition to the number of races advertised, tbe board f^d I rectors oflferred several other small purses which were competed for by the horses whloh participated in the other races. The small amounts offered procludod the idea of owners of first OIMS horses bringing them here, but the races which came off were all closely contested, tbe horses being very evenly matched, so that every person who witnessed them was much interested and highly gratified.

The event of the week in which a certain class of the publio took a deep intermit was the competitive drill on Wednesday afternoon between the Light Guard, Governor's Guard and McKeen Cadets. Each company presented very soldierly appearance and gave evidence or a thorough knowledge of the duties and requirements of a soldier's life. Each had their admirers who warmly applauded a tnaneuvre when well executed. Capt. Von Herman, of the 4th I tegular*, who is at present stationed at Indianapolis, very kindly came over and acted, as judge In the copt^t. The first prix-s was awarded the Light Guard and the Governor's Guard took tbe second place.

The weather took a sudden change yesterday morning and the] rain came down with that steady patter during the forenoon which indicated that it intended to continue. About two o'clock it changed for the better however, and the attendance was much larger than Thursday. The various committees completed their .task last night and reported the awards to the secretary, who will commence paying off the beginning of the week.

Owing to the poor condition of the track yesterday, the 30 miles in SO minutes race was postponed until this afternoon. To-day there wlU also be a trotting race*

The following is a correct list of the ttumber of entries made during the fair: 188 Cattle ~. —... 55 Mules......... 10 She«p......... 91 Hogs. 190 Agricultural department —275 Mechanical department .... 138 Miscellaneous department........— 542 1,439

The receipts will not be large enough to meet the expenses and pay the premiums in fa'l, so the exhibitors will again learn the meaning of "pro rata." The receipts will be about as follows: Refreshment Stand*, Ac* ~..9 090 Gate Receipts, Wednesday—................ 360

Thursday 1,060

,« Friday IJ00

To-day the receipts will probably amount to over |500. It is thought that after paying all expenses tho society will be able to pay about 70 per cent, on the premiums. J/,

Tbere was not a very large display on the part of tbe business men, but what they did do was done well. Among the displays made might be mentioned the following v. o. DICKHOUT, the trunk manufacturer showed the public what he could do for them in bis line of business. He did not occupy a great deal of space, but what he bad was used to the very best possible advantage. He had an assortment of trunks which were the best we have ever seen upon tbe fair grounds. They were very neat, while for strength they would defy the most persistent effoits of the most accomplished baggage smasher. He has every variety of looks, from the strongest padlock to the latest improved Yale. His exhibition of portmanteaus and valises could not be excelled anywhere. Mr. Oickhout has been in business here for along time, and has pleased his patrons so well that no one has yet been able to compete successfully with him, hence he has tbe business all to himself. He is still to be found at his old place of business, No. 642 Main street, where he has always on hand a very large assortment of everything required by tbe public.

WILDY APOTHS.

This old established firm made a very large display of buggies and carriages, of tbelrown and foreign manufacture. Mr. Wildy is now devoting all his time and attention to the business, and being thoroughly up in every department ol it feels confident of his ability to please the most fastidious taste. Mr. Potbs has charge of tbe mechanical department of the firm, and devotes his time entirely to manufacturing and repairing. They have on hand the largest stock of fine work, of their own manufacture, In western Indiana, and are fully prepared to sell lower for cash than any other firm in thisseotion of the country. They also keep constantly on hand a large and assorted stock of the best grade of Cincinnati buggies, which they sell at a small advance above cost price. Their place of business is on south Third street, opposite the St. Charles hotel.

WM. LOTZE,

successor to Fenuer & Lotze, 311 Main street, between Third and Fourth streets, made a very large and very handsome display of stoves, upon which he was awarded several premiums. His collection of "Garland" and "Wellington" bard coal base burners was very much admired by all the visitors. He has a large stock, embracing all sizes. They are very ornamental, and combine durability with general usefulness, while the prices will compare favorably with those of any other make of like quality. He also made a very fine dis play with Hull's Gasoline Cooking Stoves, .which were introduced about six years age. Everybody likes them they are so convenient, so comfortable, and save so much labor, that no one who has ever tried them will dispute their superiority. He respectfully asks the pnblio to call and examine bis large and well selected stock.

T. J. ORTFrrrH,

Of Hot. 311 and 313 Ohio street, between Third and Fourth, bad a very neat display of boots and shoes, carefully selected from his very large stock. He always keeps on hand a stock of the best boots and shoee which are to be found in the market, and is prepared to furnish them to the public at remarkably low prices. Parties desiring anything in his line would do well to give him a call before purchasing.

R. FSSTKR A SON,

North Fourth street, made a display of furniture which attracted much attention. This firm has been steadily increasing their business from year to year until it has become one of the institutions of tbe town. They keep constantly on hand a very large and well selected stock of all kinds of furniture, which they are prepared to sell at very low prices. Their stock is all of the best manufacture and latest patterns, and intending purchasers would ^do well to give them a call.

A A. POWBH JYJJI

Could not make as fine a display as he would like to have done, owing to tbe rush of business at his store, which prevented him from giving much attention to the fair, However, he found Ume to send oat a sample of the Fish Brothers' improved self oiling skein wagon, which he can recommend as being a little the beat of anything in that line in the market. Also Barker's screw toed drill, which is provided with anew common sense device for holding tbe holes In the ground when working, and which cut also be used for sowing wheat in the spring. He has also on hand a line of spring wagons of home manufacture for which he has the agency, and which he can sell at prices so tow to astonish people. Give him a call at Nos. 101 tad 106 west Main atreet

v.

PADDOCK A PURCRLI*

made tbelargeet display of Boots and Shoes that we have ever seen at oar county fair, and yet they tell us that the oollection there displayed embraces only a few samples from their very large stock. Paddock A Parcel!, though yonng In the business, inherit all tbe experience of Mr. D. C. Greiner in buying, and have a knowledge of the beet manufactures, snd how to secure bargains in keeping up their stock. They are popular gentlemen, and in order to secure a large share of the trade, are disposed to offer unusual inducements. In ladies' fine shoes and slippers they will not be exoelled, and in ladies cheap shoes their stock is large ahd varied gents' boots and shoes of the best quality, and very cheap and children's shoes away down in price. When you want any foot-wear, call on Paddock & Puroell, opposite the Opera House

Since the above was in type we are pleased to note that this firm was awarded tbe red ribbon on best collection of shoes and slippers, best collection of rubber shoes, and best pegged boot—all the articles that they entered for premium.

BART LETT BINDERY 'J

At the fair was very fins, and would do credit to any establishment in any city. It certainly is hard to beat. Among the items we noticed a journal for Hyatt, Levings & Co., bankers, Washington, Ind. one for the First National Bank, Areola, Ills. a ledger for Wm. Bower, druggist, Olney, Ilia. a ledger and cash book for H. C. Mlnsball, Neoga, Ills.: a ledger for P. O'Sullivan, city nine volumes Sbakspesre for Charles McBride, city, and History of the World for Charles Goodwin, city, showing the different styles of binding and the proficiency of the workmen engaged in tbe establishment. This bindery is now doing work for twenty adjoining counties in Indiana and Illinois, manufacturing books for nearly all the banks within these bounds. Besides these, it is doing considerable county, and a largo amount of mercantile work for iner chants who appreciate good books, preferring to have them made to order to purchasing a so-called stock book, and half tbe time failing to get what they desire, especially when the difterence in cost is so trifling between a book that suits and one that does not. Mr. Conzman, the proprietor, will go on enlarging and improving. Oar citizens should give him the benefit of their trade, and while tbe other industries are building up in our midst, the Bindery will build up also. The work of Mr. E. A. Hess, foreman and finisher, speaks for itself— finishing touches will tell. The bindery is located at No, 20 north Sixth street, Dowllng Hall building, at present.

K. D. HARVEY,

the veteran furniture dealer, Nos, 319 and 321 Main street, had on exhibition two bed room sets which were by far the finest ever brought to this city. Ho is the old reliable furniture dealer of tbe city. Persons wishing anything in his line will find his stock equal to any kept in the state, and that bis goods are exactly what he represents them to be. He keeps a first class store, and a large assortment of all kinds of articles in bis line.

FOXTTS, BUNTBR A. CO

The well known Livery and Sale stable firm had on exhibition in tbe buggy and carriage department several samples of buggies, side bar buggies and pbcetons which are manufactured at Columbus and Cincinnati, and which for skill in workmanship and finish cannot be excelled by any in tbe market. Tbe firm is agent for tbem at this point and will guarantee that every article which they sell is equal to that which was upon exhibition, and tbe prices are as low as can be charged for a first class article. Their sample of top buggy took the first premium.

On Wednesday next the firm will sell at auction without reserve a splendid lot of half breed Texan ponies, consisting of 80 head at their place of business No. 123 and 125 south Third street. w.

H. FISK

$

Had on exhibition a very fine assortment of pumps, including porcelain lined stone pumps, wood pumps, rubber bucket chain pumps and iron force pumps, making tbe finest displsy which has ever been seen*on tbe grounds, and for which he was justly awarded the premium. His stone pump is taking tbe lead

ol

everything and it is deserv­

ing cf its success. He is also agent for the Waupum wind engines, for pumping water, sawing wood, cutting fuel, churning, etc.

TOW5LK BR 33

with that enterprise which is peculiar to them, made a general display of stoves and tinware which carried off the premium. Their highly nickel plated "Chester Cookstove" was tbe center of attraction, which, for beautiful workmanship and finish cannot be exoelled. The premium was awarded it. They also made a very fine display of their ''Splendid" and "Westminster" burners, which they claim to be the In tbe market. Their "Omaha" ooal oook stove waa very justly awarded the first premium for its many good qualities. Those who did not have an opportunity of witnessing their display at the fair grounds can see a much larger and finer one by calling at their place of business, No. 514 Main street.

As usual, tbe commutes were Very slow in making returns of their awards to the secretary, the raoe track and other attractions having too many wiles in opposition to the dull work of examining stock, manufactures, works of art, or even tasting tbe exoellent pies and cakes which were In competition with :h tfcer. Hc-vcrer, they all managed

to get the hooka in at tbe last minute, laat evening, and tbe following may be relied upon aa a correct list of tbe
