The Indiana State Agricultural Fair has
been a success beyond precedent. It virtually
closed, af1er Eve days existence To-day has
been devoted to removing cattle, machinery,
DC, and to paying premiums. The entire
amount received for the week, in all depart
ncnts, Is about fifteen thousand dolla1s, while
the expenses, all told, will not exceed ten
thousand. Taking into consideration the fact
that the receipts cover really only three days,
while the expenses run through an entire
week, The society have reason 10 congratulate
themselves upon their great achievement.
This innugurates now cru In the history of.

PORTABLE CIRCULAR SAW MILLS.
There were two Of them On the grounds,
not unlike each other In their principal fea-
lures, but each claiming superiority In pecu-
liar points. One Is manufactured at Hannil-
The other by lane & bodley, Cincinnati. The
