THE PR 0GRAMKE eF TO-DAY,


uee on the heecy clouds remaining, fhst eV-
rybody prophesied fair weather for to-day.
Yesterday, the third dsy Of the State Fair,
Iss IL effect only the eseeond-Taeeday being
1st]y reckoned q blank, without progress.
he entry lists were kept open until last even
IS, and the work generally done yesterday
as II the direction Of preparation and pre-
mina1y.
The entry list numbers TWENTY-FIVE hun
RED, and will reach nearly three thousand
he Fair is 8 most attractive one compared
nth any ever held in the Northwest; in some
+ its features to be after noted it is unequaled-
The city Is full Of visitors despite unfavora-
le weather. The rush is large and promises
0 be immense from all along the lines Of our
ailroads centuring here, called out by the
xcu1sion rates, and with the return Of fine
Weather the number Will be something IN
,reeedented. As It was yesterday there were |
rom six to seven Thousand visiters at the Fair !
Ground and the gate money for the |
ickkets sold reached 81, 600, which must be !
pronounced excellent and most auspicious,
ill circumstances considered. The bulk Of
the passenger carrying traffic yesterday WAS
done by the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago
Railroad Company, who ran half hour trains
The tug boats on the river will probably find
little encouragement to 60 iuto the business,
none have been put on as yet. The number
Of vehicles competing for fares is large, and
under more favorable weather auspices will
do good business.

officers OF the Society called meeting Of ex-
hibitors at the;President'a Hall. The meeting
was called to order, when Capt. J. N. Brown,
addressed them On the subject
Of continuing the fair to some day next week.
He REQUIRED to the fact that up to this time
the exhibition had been q SUCCESS, and I'll
claims for premiums and otherwise have been
promptly met-that the means for paying the
premiums now offered now depend upon the
present success Of this Fair to pay them. The
heavy rain SO inopportunely for this enter
prise appears thus far to be disastrous; buthe
hoped with fair weather hereafter and 8 con
tinuance Of the Fair two OF three days, just to
make up lost time by the rain, We should be
all right, and that all is well that ends well

John Wentworth said that he leased the
gronnd to Geo. ", Gage for Fairs-stste, Ms.

The wsr sad the hard times had combined to
depress Mr.. Gage in his laudable efforts, but
he has been happily disappointed, and had 1t
