II had been a sour,e ht.4r apptc ns0u. ur-
dars,apd lest the choice of ior the National
Fair -ho uG lie found exceedingly injr1cious becsrse
NJ the lea. OF tire weather but whether Il be that tue
cerk OF tie weather has entered into q compact WITH
the valiant Secretary Of the Society that the rain
bars Up above have been squeezed t.y, cannot say
but certainly nothing could be move auspclous han
the weather we have enjoyed throughout the entire
week The days have been oaly pleasantly wsrm
and the nights very comfortably cool Such stock "a
Is here do not 81 fer from the heatc,n sleep comfort
ably ard thus slwsys IN good showing condition
when called for in the amphiihsatre.
Without exception the herds Of stock are the most
nesper Of any that have been exhibited az any OF the
National Fairs and this is the more remarkable when
all the world expected to see oy Tar the best. Ia
twelve "ripgs' this morning, of Jerrey bulls, cows
and hefcls there but t0T animals brought IN, 10
all and has been in most Of the classes. Of course
tie fault not lie with the u. \ Society," for u has
offered large premiums and made ss ample provisions
accommodate stock heretofore, when its hundred,
Of stalls Oyercroy ded and ones had ~ be
Put up at the last moment 10 accommodate fresh ar
rivals Nor does It lie with TIE gentlemen Of the City
Of Louisville, who have worked nobly to Sustain the
enterprise and make Kentucky proud Of her tribute TO
the representative Of ationa agc utura
pterest and of red the Society the large guarantee Of
thousand dollars butt does lie with the breeders
of kentucky Illinois ard Ohio, who although owning
not only cattle Thousand hills, but thousands of
cattle have quietly stood by, fearing Mr.. Aexsnders
stock would sursass theirow and Aave allowed be
sajd that the West with all the talk and claims s has
made sends ope-tourh many cattle did the East

IL has been remarked in my hearing by kentuckians
| more than once, Come 20 Lexington and will
show you fine stock" Il should not be necessary for
strangers 90 TO Le gton any other place except
Louisville TO see what they have, IN some cases come
| q thousand miles TO witness do not say word
| IN dsparagement OF the quality Of the animals eX-
hibited, for they are probably as fine any in the

her credit for, ard will let you know tie facts of the

is here, remarked to day that the show of stock

large saw mill is being ereotedby M ssrs. Mum s
Co. of Louisville and will be in operation tomorrow
n T. Coffin of Indiana exhibits an improved mill-ssw
that has met with com headaton on the part of the
Judges. The improvement consists in cbsel-edged
tooth aei mating with ordinary TOOTH 70 that the
chip only cut out but re moved from the cut at
once, and as know by personal tTia with r small
sized one, the power required to move Is not more
than hal shat usually employed.
Sawyers hoop machine stands near by, and attracts
crowds Of spectators. The method of operation is
foIows: The hoop.pole is passed between four pairs
Of revolving rollers, that are ON top each OF sim
elliptic spiDg which resists the outward pressure OF
he pole passes through, and force it To run with
perfect accuracy ard seadne TO strong steel knife,
that splts the hoop exactly in the middle. Thus split
| apari the pieces are then put through the planning
machine. They pass between small groOved rollers and
come in contact with revolving plane irons running at
spe ed Of from 900 70 so revolutions per inmate,
end passing this the piece carred off by two smooth
rollers delivered TO the attendant at the rate
six per minute ut the iomer, and III II at TIE latter
speed. Nothing could be more perfect than is work.
