Ohio State Fair

Uhl0 State Falr
"Wednesday was great day on the State
Fair Grounds The visit Of Senator Douglas
10 the city doubtless had the effect Of bring
ing out many more people than usually ni-
tend on the second day ofa fair. A constant,
living throng poured into the enclosure Oll
the morning and with the exception OF an
hour or two, when the announcement that
Douglas would arrive between 10 and IL
o clock, there was no cessation Of applications
for tickets After dinner again, the tide set
in for the Grounds, aud kept up steadily UNI
ill after { o clock, p NJ, when the flow was
turned towards the city rs strongly as II had
been towards the Hin oil day.
The arrangement IN reference to vehicles
passing to and from the grounds is admirable,
and prevents confusion, and accidents, doubt
less But this don't prevent the dust from be-
ing an intolerablc nuisance. Outside OF legi-
mate omnibusses, there is every style OF wheel
hxings imaginable, and with their constant
rattling back and forth, il would be strange II,
at this dry season. the dust would not be al
most unendurabe The quality Of fabrics
worn were nearly all alike upon the grounds
no matter what the shade elsewhere--n decd-

Justice Young was not extra busy although
| like N. .cawber, he was all the time looking
for something to turn up. Although there
were almost any number of pick-pockets on
the ground, they slipped thro ugh his fingers,
or, rather, they didn't get into his fingers We
heard of half dozen instances Of pocket
picking on the ground, but none of them were
taken while we we're there and these instan-
ces occurred notwithstanding the placards put
up in every direction of-"Beware of Pick
pockets" Two cases of disorderly conduct
were before the Justice one OF them was hned
SlO and costs. and in default he was commit
ted The other one was committed Tor trial.
Four unsophisticated young men, whose NOR
ais we're as loose as full-circle cloak, were
detected in conduct which, had they been pro
fessional rowdea, would have consigned them
! to Jail and perhaps to coat Of tar and feath
ers They received a regular lecture from the
Justice, and were fined 81 and costs, which
they paid, and decamped for safe quarters
outside the Grounds.
THE MUSIC.
The Hillsboro Band occupies the Judges
stand in the centre of the Horse Ring. They
are the centre of attraction in the lower par
of the ground, and by their professional ability
as we'll as by their gentlemanly department
ltbey have won the respect of all who can ap
preciate human nature put up on frstclas'
mr., nciples.
| The Reglmentnl Band was statlOneu on ln'
platform in the vicinity Of Floral and Fine
Art Hall. where they are delighting the thous
lands Of ladies' and gentlemen who make tina
delightful locality their rendezvous during tn,
greater mart of the day. It is a charming
place, and the Reeimentals command crowC
which Is one of the surest indications of thu
hiOh estimate in which they are held by th,
appreciatiye.
THE RING
Was a chief point of attraction yesterda,
afternoon At one time there were twenty
five splendid stations for general purposes
there at one time. 1t was grand sight
when thew were all in motion, ambling am
rearing about the ring. During this dispa
there were not less than IL, 900 people-gen
Dtlemen and Understanding around the ring
