Of speed 10 one half mile in circuit, and
to-day is being we'll patronized. The
buildings are few and very open' the
impossible state Of the roads conse-
quent upon the vet season having oc-
casioned difficulty in procuring suffi-
Gent lumber for more complete accom-
modations. A very large proportion
of the visitors present are farmers with
their families from this and neighbor-
ing counties, and most Of these have
come with wagons bringing their own
provisions aud bedding. At rough
calculation there must be considerably
over a hundred wagons on the grounds.
A few booths are on the grounds where
board can be had, though very few ap-
pear to patronize them. The side
shows and swings usually attendant On
such gatherings also appear, and The
"Good Samaritan" still determines that
if people will die it shall not be any
fault of his stoutly pleading in behalf
Of his nostrums.
TIE FIRST DAY.
The display this morning was very
small, but articles and stock have been
arriving constantly and the prospect for
q full show is now encouraging. Up
to this evening 1909 entries had been
made, and it is expected that some
further additions will be made to the
list tomorrow. The only business
transacted to-day besides the recording
of entries has been the organization of
the different committees. Tomorrow
the awards are to be made In most OF
the departments. The weather is re-
markably fine, and pleasant time Ii
looked forward to.

The sensation created by the appear
sncc of the records OF the Know Moth
ing Lodge at Dubuque proving that
Vsndever was member, and the differ
ent lodges rcsorted to by various re-
publican papers to couutcract the effect
Of the developments. was decidedly
smusing to outsiders.
The organ Of the Thorington, or
Know Nothing, clique OF the Republi-
can party in this city, referred to the
reply OF Vaudever to the letter Of the
Germans of Davenport, and expressed
its conviction that he had never been
Know Nothing; but wound up by
iutimating that it did not make much
difference if he was-he was none the
poorer republican for all that.
The organ Of the Price and Dillon
clique took a holder course and de-
nounced the whole thing a. base
forgery and fabrication, without Of
course having any means of proving its
assertion.
We would simply remind our neigh
bors of the fact that those records are
open to the inspection Of any ono, in
the office Of the Dubuque Express d.
Herald; that hundreds Of persons have
been there to examine them that
all who have seen them agree as
to their entire authenticity, and that
the Times, the representative Of the
republican party in Dubuque, and the
home organ of Mr.. vandevcr, admits
the whole case. The fact that WILL
ism Vandever was one Of the first to

buque cannot be coutradicted, and the
