The Horse Fair at Carthage Yesterday
Exhihitinn of the Sfen,n PInxv.

considering the very unpropitious weather
of yesterday, the Horse Fair of the Hamil-
ton County Agricultural Society, at Car
thage, was well attended and was very
creditable as q display of the kind. About
tifty entrees were made, and the competition
was both interesting and exciting. Among
the noted stations on the ground are "Mon-
arch" Senator" "Tuckahoe," "Jaffa, -
Duke of Kentou," vermont Hero" and
"St. Lawrence"
The latter stallion, belonging to A. @. Jen-
nings, of Nutwood Farm, near Urbana, will
befavorably remembered by those who visited
the various State and County Fairs last sea-
son. "St Lawrence seldom or never fails
to carry off the premium in any ring in
which be shows, and as usual, yesterday was
awarded the ribbon for the best stallion for
all work.
The ring of two-year old stations pre-
sented an array of bloodsand thorough-breds
that has never been excelled in this country,
by colts of the same age. Three Of the colts
were sired by the famous "Keene Morgan,
whose untimely death is much regretted by
all turf men, both professional and amateur.
The premium was awarded to Mr.. Fleming $
colt, sired by the above-named horse.
For the best stallion, one year old, Mr..
Stephen Whitlock's colt, by Joe Cooper
"Stockbridge Chief" out of an "American
Boy mare, took the premium and Isaac
Bruen was awarded premium for his suck
ing horse colt
Premiums were also awarded to A. Neave,
for the best roadster; A. Davidson, for the
best sucking mare colt; @. L. Laboyteaux,
best one-ycar-old iilly; G. NJ. Poor, best road
ster mare; S. A. Butteriield, best two-year-
old mare
The exhibition of Fowkes's patent steam
pllow was the feature Of the day, and the ma
chine performed in manner entirely salts
factory to the assemblage and to the inventor
1t seemed to do its work thoroughly and
ehectually The fair will be continued dur.
ing to-day, and will commence exactly al
nine o'clock. The steam plow will be again
on exhibition.

The Hnck-Trick in Paris-SwfndIes of the
LOretfea.


A young fellow some days ago, writes a
Paris correspondent observed beautiful
woman, elegantly attired, in what is called
"coach-house brougham,p which is public
carriage above the ordinary hack, and de-
rives its name from standing in coach-houses
along the streets, and not at the hack-stands.
AS soon as she saw she had made an impress
sion upon him, she nodded her head and
waved her hand. He made signs to the
driver to stop as he went up to the carriage
door and invited the beauty to dine with him
at the Cafe Anglais. She accepted, and he
got into the carriage-a scene which occurs
every afternoon in the Champs Elysees.
'Tis incredible how many people, especially
of tother sex, go there every afternoon to
find dinner to console them for the break
fast which failed to appear at roILcall. The
brougham waited at the restaurant door dur
ing dinner, and when the banquet was over
the host invited the guest to spend the even
ing with him. . M
She went, of course, and as she got out of
the carriage she asked her host to pay the
coachman. How much is it, driver? The
coachman took out his watch and said: at
is now ten o'clock, Madame took me this
morning at nine o'clock Thirteen hours, at
two francs and half an hour, is thirty-two
francs and half. The young man, who is
quite familiar with life in Paris, refused to be
made victim of swindle, and summoned a
policeman, who carried the young man and
the driver to the neighboring Commissioner
of Police, who decided the young man (the
woman having disappeared) must pay the
thirty-two francs and a half. The neat morn
ing the coachman carried back to the woman
two-thirds of the money he had received.
This is common trick by which the drivers
and lorettes plumber men.

The Damages In the City by the Late
Itains-Indianant Citizens Tearing Up
- the Gutter CROSSINGS. - 49,.
D. When the foute Of the Cincinnati Street
Railroad had been completed IL was found
that, although the company had not altered
the grade OF LinnAstreet the cutters at the
intersections Of Hopkins and Clark-streets
with the first named thoroughfare were in
adequate TO the task Of carrying off the wa
Ter, and consequently IL ran over the pave
ment into the cellars, and caused considerable
damage 70 the property Of the residents Of
that neighborhood. : y
Some days ago we noticed the fact that
several persons had met with losses in this
locality by the inundation of their cellars,
and the heavy rain at noon yesterday had q
similar effect. Claims for damages had been
sent to the City Council, and the matter was
referred to.a committee, not one member of
which we believe did bis duty, and the cti-
zens yesterday became Justly Indignant.
,H When the rain had ceased, therefore, they
assembled at the intersections abovc-named
and tore up the gutter crossings, threatening
at the same time to do the same thing for the
street railway some time during the night
The police force was sent to the scene, how
ever, and succeeded in restoring order.
Two or three hundred persons were upon
the ground, and for time considerable ex-
uiOflhtub WIS inthllleSteu. some OF them
hurled indignant epithets at Street Railway
Companies generally, while others contented
themselves with the more reasonable method
of ventilating their pent up wrath by anath-
ematizing the city authorities, but all seemed
determined that they would suffer no longer
from this source of annoyance, which now
seems to have become altogether unbearabe
The entire amount of damage caused by the
late heavy rains MS reported to the City
Council does not exceed two thousand dol
lars, and the question appears to be which
OF the parties is responsible-the city or the
Street Railway Company. The latter holds
that it followed strictly the grade established
by the city; but the City Civil Engineer holds
o contrary opinion, and thus the matter for
the present, rests.
We are not sure that the citizens of Linn
street acted wisely in their demonstration
yesterday; for they will certainly be able to
collect damages from some source, and pa
tience is cardinal virtue, and is beautiful in
any who may exercise it. We are sure
however, that the tardiness which the CITY
Council has manifested in making an effort
to abate this nuisance is extremely repre-
hensible. .... I.rrTs --r' ~.
We earnestly hope, therefore, that no
further demonstration will be made against
the Railway Company and also that the in
dignation of the citizens, as exhibited YES
terday afternoon, will arouse the proper
authorities to n sense of their duty. The
matter may be easily remedied, and with a
comparatively slight cost; the property of
the complainants must be protected, and
these are sufficient reasons why the work
should be begun Immediately. ..--
