[From Wedocsdaj's Da'ly.l The GAZETTF. Hid not reckon "without host" in supposing that the fair this •ear would be a complete success. Everybody says so now, and the prophecy has lost its force. The exhibition will be productive of good. People meet under the umbrageous shade trees, and in the neatly kept halls and pavilions, and enjoy the freedom of release from the grind of care.
Many a farmer boy has here read a valuable hint and made a resolution to do something next season. He has no rested until he has had a talk with the winner of the red ribbon in corn or'wheat. New,ideas have been gained which will prove valuable. •., "it
And'again, what person who is fond of chickens (readers will preceive that the GAZETTE enjoys the subject,) who has not conoluded that thorough breds are infinitely superior to common barn-yard scrubs?
The determination to "try a hand" at amateur cultivation has, no doubt, been made by a number. If there wa6 space to spare the GAZETTE would take pleasure in publishing the list of points, of some of the most prominent breeds, in order that everybody may know how the judges arrive at their conclusions. Sometimes the people select what, in their judgment, is the handsomest fowl competing for a given premium, and yet it tuay be debarred from contest by some unfortunate misplaced feather or slight defect in color or weight.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found some valuable information from The Country Gentleman, and other agricultural papers. All of this class of journals are now filled with notices of fairs at various points over the country. The New York State exhibition is now in progress at Elmiri. It is a wonderful collection of the best that careful and intelligent farming and manufacturers can do. But great as it is, we can some day equal it here. People are progressive. Modern appliances are forcing their way everywhere, and first-class stock will a*, certainly cause the death of the great quantity of worthless stuff, with which this country is at present disgraced.
Better cattle, better horses, better hogs, sheep,and poultry, are the crying heed in Vigo. v* .a #r.o.,

Strangers make invidious comparisons with us and tome prosperous Illinois counties, in this respect, and we must not stand it.

The entries were G. W. Carico, g. Burlington! John Fisher, Paris, g. g. Echo. John G. Keener, Danville, b. m. Nellie K.
C. W. Paine, Olney, b. g. Little Rob. Several false starts were made at the beginning, and at the first heat Nellie K. and Rob were distanced. This left only Burlington and Echo in the field. At the word "go," both horses shot off with the alacrity of the wind, maintaining a neck and neck position until the quarter mile pols was reached, when Burlington gradually got ahead, and at the half mile pole was still ahead, witn Echo about a length in the rear. When near the three quarter mile pole, Echo broke badly and Burlington came in victor of the second heat time 2:40^.

Both horses started. Burlinuton having the inside track and they held the same positions as when starting until beyond the quarter mile pole when Echo gained hale, both horses coming in at the half mile pole so close together that it was very hard to decide which was ahead.

The brief time will make it necessary, boys and girls, to go to wcrk at once. Mr. E. W. Chadwick, clerk of the agricultural department is authorized to take subscriptions for the Weekly GA ZETTE on the grounds. "Now is the time to subscribe."
Mr. Lee W. Chadwick is one of the most active men cn the grounds. He is polite and attentive.
The members of the Ringgol 1 band were delighted this morning on receiving from Miss Helen Jefl'ers beautiful button hole boquets. The music given by the bund is delightful, and adds mud], tp the enjoyment of ihe Fair. 7/s.
A ten pin alley is one of the attractions at the grounds. Few arrests have been made and good order is a noticeable feature.
The clear, cool, beautiful weather, and roads entirely free, from dus»t will help the Fair greatly., Everybody will go out.
Mr. Meyer who has collected the rents of stands, says he has never had an easier time. All are prompt. Jj ''MECHANICAL.
I: JT.l1"SKI-V !/»,? I ".St, The entries in this department are fair. All the Terre Haute dealer* are represented. There will be no plowing match, the merits of the various machines being decided by the judges. It was thought enough ground could not be broken in the time allotted to make actual work a tair test.
The GAZETTE does not share in this feeling. There is no test like actual service, and in arriving at any other decision the judges will, without hardly knowing it, be influenced by their previous prejudices. There are from three to seven entries for each premium offered by the society on plows. No entries have been made for the premium on bee hives. This will be mUsed a» the patent hive exhibitors have, in past years, been the most lcqua cious of all the men on the grounds ex cept the venders of lemonade.
Another thing missed is the stump pull ler. '1 here is nothing more cheerful and exhilirating than a stump-puller in full action—that is unless the 6tump is an old snag of a tooth, and the puller is the dentist's forceps,
The stump-puller and the steam shove! have a gamey, plucky way of going to work which is beauliful. Forster ii Son and Fo«ter&Son make displays of cabinet wpre which are creditable to them.
H. P. Townley & Co. show commendable enterprise in a collection of stoves and tinware Xhe other stove dealers should imitate their example and come out and show themselves to the farmers and public generally.
Mechanical Hall is always indebted to Mr. iPeter Miller for a large share of it* attractions. He always comes out and exhibits goods which win much esteem for him, if not at the time certainly afterward.*
The enterprise of Mr. T.J. Griffith has already been noticed in these columns.. He spares no pains to make a good exhibit.
V. G. Dickhput will be remembered as the man with the big trunk his big trunk having long played an important part. He is at the fair grounds, as usual. In carriage hall, Scott, Graff & Co Harrison, Jackaon& Co., and Wildy & Poths, are smilingly ready to show visitors through. They make good work, as fine as mar be seen at the best fairs iR the state. Messrs Raven & Amis, ot New Goshen, are present with a combined cultivator and sulky plow.

Preparations for the reception of livr stock of all kinds, were never better than this year.
The horse stalls are good and there are a gieat number of them. They are roomy, well covered, and in all respects first class. The same is ahnost true of the cattle stalls.

Merchants who offered specials will be glad to know that a number of entries have been rcade for them. Beside helping along a good cause, there is much advertising accomplished.
THE DRILL.
At a meeting of the board this morning a committee of judges could not be determined on and it was ordered that a telegram be sent to Gen. W. T. Sherman, at St. Louis, asking him to send judges. Some first class army officers may be expected.
The drill will be one of the most ex* citing features of the week. Let no one forget for an instants balloon ascension by Mrs. Light on Wednesday afternoon. -T
The young ladies will all fall in love with John I. Keeney's bl®ck mure, "Nellie K." She is "Membrino" stock and looks like Belle Berkley in tome respects, though she is handsomer. Her coat is the glossiest, sleekiest black, and her body is made up of supple curvcs And graceful proportions. She is a little too fleshy for trotting but it only add* to her beauty. She will beo ne of the favorites, of the week.

Now about the trade dollar In Terre Haute?|When I left thertf, on the 19th of August, they passed for onlv 90 cents. At Vuicennes at the R. R. oflice they were refused at any price. At I^ouisville they passed current for 100 cents, Cincinnati 95 cents. Pittsburgh 100 cents. At Philadephia I was called a fool becowse I refused to Uke them for 100 cents. Somebody is evidently making money as brokers in Philadelphia are offering 95 cents for then} in large amounts. Hy advice to those who are fortunate in haying them, is to hold on to them. Don't part with tbem for less than 100 cents. Don't tnind what this man or that man may say, as the whole thing is a grand swindle, and enriches the coffers of a few men, a neat little to per cent. Good thing to hold.
Yours Truly TRADB DOLLAR.
