The Fair.
IN SPITE OF DIFFICULTIES THE EXHIBIT AND ATTENDANCE UP TO LAST TEAR{
A Vigo county fair never opened more dismally than did this one of 1890. On Tuesday rain poured down from morning until night dampening all hopes for a successful exhibit. But Wednesday morning the sun rose with old time brilliancy and in short order completely repaired the damage done the day before. Exhibitors flocked out with their entries and by afternoon nearly every department was filled. Only one part of the great exposition was open to criticism and that was the fine art hall. This building, usually overflowing with the exhibits of city merchants, was not more than comfortably filled, and in this there was disappointment as it indicated a lamentable lack of enthusiasm on the part of local firms. But in the other halls the displays were all that could be asked for. The stock pens never before accomodated such numbers of fine animals, the poultry department had more than its usual abundance of blooded birds, the fruit and vegetable halls were crowded with fine truck, the jelly, canned goods, cake and bread ball was loaded down, and all over the grounds were special features equal to or surpassing those of former years. Then the races of Thursday and Friday, which included the postponed events of Tuesday and Wednesday, were all that could have been asked for. The balloon ascensions, parachute leaps, and tight rope walking were up to the stand ard, and thus it only remains to say that had the city merchants done their share the fair would have been by far the greatest on record.
The total attendance for the entire week probably equalled that of last year, notwithstanding the big Thursday of 1889, although the total receipts will fall about §50 below the total for that year, When it is recalled that the attendance for the first two days was largely cut down by rain and that the wedding on Thursday last year drew so many thousands, this result is surprising. The total receipts for tho week will aggregato as against $$,413.13 for 1888. The number of people on the grounds Thursday was about 000 less than last year's Thursday, bti», Friday made up for the deficiency even though many places of business did not close. The award of premiums was attended with all the usual diillculties and no doubt many exhibitors are now wrestling with their disappointment, but this was an unavoidable experience. Among the most prominent of the special premiums were those oflered for the best loaf of bread and the best cake. For the bread premiums nearly 600 loaves wore entered. Mrs. Moggie Bailey, who has a boaiding house on south Seventh, took the first prize, which was the Probst #55 set of furniture, $25 in cash, and a barrel of flour by W. L. Kidder & Sons. The second prize was given to Mrs. E. K. Johnson, 1712 Chestnut street. Then to every fifth exhibitor H. S. Richardson & Co., gave a little teapot. The Hughes & Lewis cake premium of fine wall paper for one room for the beat fig cake, was won by Mrs. McQuilkin, Mrs. W. IT. Stickle coming in second. One other contest on which much interest was centered, was that for the §25 premium on the prettiest baby. Just 100 pictures were entered, and from this number the iudge^ Mrs. Hunt of Bockville, F. C. Crawford and Dr. Jonckins, Holocled the following:

Among many excellent exhibits, a number call for special notice. Among these wero: j. Kinst rftonwr's very fine display of furniture which occupied the alcove on the second floor of the art hall between tho stairways. This certainly deserves special compliment considering the fact that Mr. Probst was granted only a limited space in ^hich to arrange his pieces. The noticeable features was the fine parlor set given for the best loaf of bread and addition prominence was given this when the prise loaf wan exhibited with it. Other conspicuous details were a fine cherry table, hand carved and inlaid with intricate design valued at|35 and a handsome cabinet, also Inlaid and handcovered, both the work of Charles Trische, the well known local cabinet maker. Finer work has never been shown In Terre Haute. In addition to them pieces was a general assortment of rocking chairs etc. Mr. Probst would have shown one or two line parlor «*ts had he bean allowed space, bat as It was he had to b* content with Inviting people to his furniture house, 645 Main to see them.

exhibit was one of the moat complete as well as one of the best on the grounds, and from its prominent place on the first floor of the Art Hall, attracted the attention of everyone who entered. Hie enameled, galvanised, copper, brass and tinware were shown on an incline, which served the purpose of displaying *»eh article to advantage. Back of this were the ranges and stoves* ml off at on® end by a very artistic ftre-plac© with mirror mantle* and at tit* other by a tare* patent refrigerator.

of household furniture. No one would ever guess it was a bath-tub. The reservoir and gas or gasoline heating device under it fold inside so very nicely that, one marvels at the ingennity of the invention. In the center was a huge Patric furnace which has the merit of being arranged to burn either soft or hard coal with equally good results. Other features were the Acorn stoves and ranges, the Pasteur filter, and the tile grates. Those who did not see these things at the fair can find them at the firm's headquarters, 609 Main.

arrangement of photographic work was indeed one worthy of the beat position in the Art Hall. Their display was unusually fine in both extent and quality, including a large collection of not only cabinet photos and cards, but enlarged pictures. The special feature was their bromide work, in which line the work shown was worthy of the most famous artists in the profession. The central figure of the entire collection was a large frame containing fully one hundred cabinets of the leading, people of this city, and these made evident the excellence of their work in this, direction. The firm is a new one, although both members are old photographers, and it is shown beyond a doubt that the combination of their talent has proven an advancement in the art for Terre Haute,

was this year on hand with a choice selection of goods from bis endless stock of artist's supplies, and the arrangement to the left of the stairway on the second floor of the Art Hall showed the advantage an artists ability can give to an artists supply. But artists' goods was not all he had to show, for fine frames, bric-a-brac of all kinds, mouldings, en gravings, etchings, oil and water color paintings, etc., we included, and elicited much favorable comment.

This display of stoves, ranges and various desirable household utensils on the west side of Exhibition Hall was very creditable. It was arranged in the form of a hollow square, and on the three sides werp all the popular stoves which have won for Mr. Zimmerman such favorable treatment at the hands of the public. Of these it is only necessary to mention the Charter Oak and Mozart Grand ranges to let you know the full merit of the exhibit. Of the former it has been demonstrated beyond question that it makes a saving in every pound of meat roasted in it, and by severe test it has also been shown that bread baked in it will not mould. Besides these specialties the exhibit included a large variety of plain and fancy heaters. Mr. Zimmerman's place of business is G58 a in re

Excellent taste was shown in the arrangement of the various designs on exhibition, and many pleasing compliments wero passed upon the goods. Among the best styles shown were the Birge Velours aud the styles in Louis XIV, Apple Blossom, Lilacs, RennaisSHUCO,Greek ornament and reliefs, many of which are manufactured by the well known firm of M. H. Birge tfc Sons, Buffalo, N. Y. The firm was highly pleased with the in invest manifested in thoir cako contest, and desire to congratulate both Mrs. McQuilkin, the first winner, and Mrs. W. H..
Stickle, the second, on
their success. C. W. MKRIUSO regrets very much that ho had no exhibit on the grounds and offers the apology that he was too busy to prepare one iu time. However he was much pleased to see that many of the exhibitor's in the an department entered work made from materials furnished by him and this was a recompense for not having displayed for himself. Had he been able he would have very much desired to show an artistic arrangement of fine engravings, etchings, photographs, oil and water color paintings, fancy easels, mouldings, and a general line of parlor and drawing room bric-a-brac. However, be cordiaiiy invites the public to visit his store, 22 north 4th, and see all his complete stock. *.
KAT« NOTES
The Ringgold music was excellent. The races were much better than usual. Professor Kaiser is a success as an aeronaut.
It was a shame that a Vigo baby did not take the prise. There were 1S4 head of cattle on the grounds, and 363 head of horses.
The Townley, C. C. Smith, Myers Bros, and A. C. Bryce specials were warmly contested.
The Humane society did right in preventing the ascension of the dog with Prof. Woodall yesterday as ail who saw the ascension of Thursday will testify.
The most interesting animals on the grounds were the Gilbert pug dog»— mother and tbre«e little one»—and they deserved the first premium given tbem.
