1t is seldom in the history of Fairs thai
the figures of Thursday are reached it has
happened, perhaps, but once before in
Ohio. NIHa.
AS an exposition OF the industry and
productiveness of the people of our great
State, as well as pecuniarily, the Fair was
all that could be desired and it affords us
much pleasure to be able to record this fact.
We were assured by those who ought to
know, that no such display of useful and
valuable patents and improvements in ma
chinery was ever before witnessed in the
West. We have attended Fairs where
some of the departments excelled some de-
partments of this Fair; but none that in its
general character surpassed it. When we
attend a Grand Exposition like the one last
week, we always feel prouder of our noble
State. Ht 1as
Many of the Awarding Committees had
hard time of it, and we felt sorry for them:
they were made to appreciate that the honor
their position conferred, was indeed dear
bought honor. The Committee on Sewing
Machines, perhaps, labored as hard and as
faithfully, and was as much perplexed and
annoyed, as any Committee connected with.
the Fair. 1t was an excellent Committee,
made up as follows: Mr.. w. G.. ALExAN-
DER, of Peru, Indiana: Mrs. JAMES PATTER-
son, OF Columbus; and Mrs. w. w. WHIT
NEY, of Toledo.
The Hotels and Boarding Houses of Day |
ton were all jammed full; and those who
arrived there on Wednesday night and |
Thursday, found it impossible to get rooms.
The PHILLIPS House was, of course, head
quarters after you left the Fair Grounds.
We are indebted to Hon, BEN. EGGLEsToN,
of Cincinnati, and Mr.. SARGEANT. of this
city, for stalking us in,p and giving us a
very fair share of their elegant and COM
modious room at The PHILLIPS, where we |
were comfortable and happy. This is a
superb Hotel, with Mr.. L, RE1BoLD, as Pro-
prietor, who is an obliging and courteous
gentleman. His Chief Clerk, Mr.. G. G. |
McMnLEN, is efficient, accommodating |
and agreeable; and whoever puts himself
or herself under his care, will be suitably |
nd vNrnufdo1 No command |
The PHILLIPS as the Hotel to stop at in
Dayton. 0-f
The Parlors of THE PHILLIPS HOUSE |
were full all the time, especially on Thurs |
day and 1t was a first-rate place to " take |
notes." if one could put In an occasional |
hour there. We have several that we might |
expand into readable articles and we may |
sometime do it, Old aequaintances who |
had not foryears met, here greeted one an
other, and spent an hour pleasantly and |
happily; and new and very agreeable ac-
quaintances were formed, that will grow
into pleasant and enjoyable friendships. |
But we have neither the time nor the space |
now to dwell on themes like these but may |
resume at our leisure.
r. We present some notices of articles, in
ventions, &C., that we have prepared, to
which we call the readers attention:

The VIcroR CANE MILL.-We were par
ticularly pleased with the performance OF
the Victor Sorgo Mill, shown us by Mr..
TIoa.,u Nopr0,r Of tho NiorIr Coroo NJ II
chine Company of Cincinnati. Every ef-
fort to choke it proved a failure; and its
perfect and complete working, was the
theme of admiration and commentator by
the thousands who observed it during the
four days of the Fair. 1t had twelve COM
petitors on the ground but the general
Judgment awarded it the first place, as had
been the case at FL the County aud State
Fairs at which it had been fairly tried. It
is now used wherever the Sugar Cane
grows; its sale is not confined to States;
but it is scattered over Continents, and ea-
gerly sought for in the Isles of the Seas and
Oceans. tA' A'ts ae+
In common with the Old Style Mill, the
Victor has the Feed Box, Fluted Feed
Roll, Oil Tubes, and Annulsr Ledges; and
in addition to these, the following features
entirely new: Tapped Gearing, Flanges,
Diagonal Braces, Oil Tight Boxes, Movable
Sweep Cap, an Adjustable False Plate,
Cleaning Scrapers, aud Juice Channel in
Bottom Plate.
The Victor Cane Mill is now generally |
pronounced, by the best judges, as being
superior to any other Cane Mill in use.
This Mill, aud q great variety Of other
Machinery, are manufactured by The
CL ARK soRGo MACHINE COMPANY, Cinein-
