Exchange. We never heard of a tongue endowed with powers of thought.

TIIE COMMITTEES

were very laborously engaged all day, as were the entry clerks, in transferring the names of the many parties awarded premiums, as the committee books were sent in. The faithful officers stood at their posts like heroes notwithstanding the tongue lashing and blowing they received from persons who didn't see the satisfactory kind of ribbon attached to the article exhibited by them, just as if the officers of the Association, or clerks who had charge of the books, were responsible for what was done by the committees. The committees also had their bands full, and upon their shoulders had responsibiliiies to bear, only approximating to a newspaper man, wko endeavors to write up the Fair to please everyone. Of course premiums could not be awarded to every one, and the judgment of the members of the committees must be relied upon, not that they were, or could be faultless,but that there was no other ways of accomplishing t"he object for which the Fair was given.

The great interest of yesterday was manifested in THE RACES, and great crowds assembled along the entire west side of the ling, in addition to a crowded amphitheater and hundreds of buggies, inside the aace course, in the viciuity of the judge's stand. Thousands witnessed the race and took a great deal of interest therein, many of them being ladies, not a few preachers, deacons and leading church members, according to the Express. This race was for the fastest trotting horse, mare or gelding, that had never beat 2:50. Purse $200 1st $125, 2d $50, Sd $25. Four horses came upon the track, asfollows: Owen Tullernamed "Tramp Pat Crowe's "Red Buck Dr. Roberts "Billy Button and Henry Deming's "Dolly," Samuel McDonald withdrawing "Burlington," he having been upon the track and won a premium •Wednesday.

After a good deal of "jockeying," the four racers were off -at the judge's "tap" and away they sped, the crowd optically following them around the ring and apparently deeply interested, which warmed into a great excitement by the time the horses were coming in on the home stretch. The first heat was won by Owen Tuller's horse "Tramp," driven by Bissell, Dr. Robert's horse, "Billy Button," coming in second, Pat. Crowe's Buck third, and Deming's mare, Dolly, fourth.

The race programme was trotted through with the following results, being closely contested, the judges deliberating sometime on the last heat :t Henry Deming's Dolly 4-4-^-3 Dr. Robert's Billy Button 2—3d Is 1. P. BlsseU's Tramp 1—1—1 Pat. Crowe's Buck. 3—3—2

THE ATTENDANCE.

That Thursday should always be the big day of a Fair was "innovated" yesterday by the largest crowd of any other day of the Vigo County Fair being in attendance. We certainly never attended a County Fair where there were so many people in attendance, as upon yesterday. In addition to the trains of eight elegant coaches, run hourly, yesterday, under charge of conductors Farrington and Heustis, and engineer Thomas, three extra ones were run, all of which were crowded to their utmost capacity, and many were left at the depot almost every time the loaded train pulled out. During the entire day every vehicle of the city that could be obtained was pressed into the service of the throng, who from hour to hour surged through the gates at the Fair Grounds, some pressing in and some pressing out.

At the close of the last heat there was loud and long continued applause, after which the Immense audience dispersed.

CLOSE OF THE FAIR.

visited the Fair Grounds by way of the T. H. & I. special train this noon, with the intention of copying the remaining premium lists, and especially that of the Art Department, but the committee were working away with untiring vigor and impartiality. Though they were not receiving the thanks of all, they were doing their duty as well, as mortals could possibly do, with the prospect of Accomplishing their work by two o'clock. Thereafter, the entry clerks would have to record the same on the books of the Secretary, which would have made it too late for the GAZETTE to-day,' which we exceedingly regret. There were not very many people on the grounds this morning, which made the place look desolate in comparison to yesterday. At half-past one there was advertised to be equestrian feats by ladies and a race at three, all of which was too late for the GAZETTE to-day. Monday, we will close bur report of the Fair.'

How Baxter's Time was Beaten. The correspondent of the New York Sun from the Milwaukee Trotting Race, thus describes the second heat, in which Goldsmith's Maid beat Dexter's time:

Twenty minutes elapsed then the horses were called up for the second heat. The Maid had dried completely and looked gamer than ever as Budd drove her past the stand. She shook her little head and her bright eyes fairly danced with mischief.

The start was effected without trouble this time, and the bell sounded at the first effort. Both mares trotted very fast to the quarter, but here the pace was too hot for Lucy, and she slackened her speed. The Maid was dashing down the ooiir»e like lightning. She drew around the quarter-pole, and flew away from the other like a kite before the wind. It was evident to all that Budd was driving for time, and instantly every neck was stretched to catch his movements. He bent down in his sulky, and encouraged the little flyer by gentle words and manipulations of the reins. The little mare responded nobly, and

FLEW AROUND THE LOWER TURN.

All eyes were on her. No one cared for Lucy, nor did they seem to regard her for an instant. Goldsmith Maid and her flying feet were eagerly watched as she swept into the home-stretch. On she came like a flying fawn, Budd never casting his eye to the right or left. He was driving the mare for speed, not merely to win the heat. He had never touched her with the whip, never called to her in a loud voice, but simply let her slip along in her own way. She passed under the string with perfect ease six lengths ahead of Lucy. As she did so, a long, lank, lean badger crossed the track, holding in his hand an old silver watch. He was almost crazy with excitement. He gesticulated wildly, and shouted, "I beta thousand dollars that's

THE BEST TIME EVER MADE

on any course." The spectators looked at the badger and laughed in derision nevertheless every one was satisfied that fast time had been made. All eyes were on the judge's stand. There seemed to be some hesitation there about announcing tne time. Presently the board was hung out, and on it was written the astonishing figures, 2:17. A shout went up, but only a moment, there must be amistake somewhere. "Why, that beats Dexter's time," said every one. The Sun correspondent was in doubt about the trustworthiness of the judge's watches. He at once mounted the stand and interviewed them. They were Mr. S. B. Davis, President of the Cold Spring Association H. C. Bradley, Secretary, and A. Burnham, the principal contributor of the purse. They all held their watches in their hands, stopped at the moment the lfiare crossed t.he score. Bradley's watch stood 2:16!, Burnham's 2:16£, and Davis' 2:17. The delay in announcing the time was caused by this variance, and the judges finally agreed to mark the slowest time recorded.

"THE

public," said PresidentJefFerson,

"will never be made to believe that an appointment of a relative is made on the ground of merit alone, uninfluenced by family views nor can they eversee with approbation, offices, the disposal of which they intrust to the President for public purposes, divided out as family property."
