q. Grouse, ESQ.,, we visited the Fair
Grounds last Tuesday, and were agree
ably surprised to find so large num-
ber of fast horses in training for the
coming Fair. The horses on the
ground at present comprise the follow
ing:
In Wm. Tennant's stables there are
four, viz: "American Boy" trotter, 6
years old, by Paul Jones; "Jack Gra-
/. xer,r trotter, by Pathfinder, years
old; "Mary jane" racer, by Jack Mi
'ner, years old; "Bill Gird," racer, 8
years old, by Doc. Lindsay.
In Ross stables there are two hor-
ses, viz: ''Dusty Miller" trotter, own
ed by Frank Parton; "Triile," racer,
owned by Ross.
s. Montgomery has four horses in
training, viz: s'Dolly Varden," "Min-
nie," and Nellie Gray" all trotters,
and .sShoo Fly" PAGER.
In Gird's stables there are five hor-
ses, viz: "Buckskin Bill'' and ''Plow
boy" racers; Bones" ..Dolly Var
den" and "Coley," all three trotters.
The two latter are owned by 1nr. Pike.
: Mr.. White, of jackson county, has
in training couple of running horses,
one of which is named "Henry
Welch,' and the other is a 2-year old
colt, by Jack Miner and q Rifieman
mare.
There are now some eighteen horses
In training, and others are expected in
during the present and succeeding
week. The unprecedented premiums
offered by the Society have stimulated
the owners of fast horses to enter the
lists as never before, and the indica
tons now are that the coming Fair
viii be more Interesting in its features
and more numerously attended than
. any which have preceded it.
A FIRST CLASS WAREHoUsE---We
were few days ago afforded the pleas
ure of q. .ramble through the spacious
warehouse Of c B. Comstock & Co,
this city, and were much surprised to
observe its peculiar facilities for stor-
age and its many advantageous fea-
lures. This warehouse contains seven
bins, size 26x30, six of which are used
for wheat and one for oats. The pro-
prietors have recently put into the
building new 12-horse power engine
which. drives two complete sets of
cleaners and elevators through the
building. By this arrangement the
grain can be received at either of the
two repositories and weighed at either
of the two hoppers, thus permitting
two teams to discharge their loads at
the same time, entirely free from con-
tact with. each other. This advantage
over other warehouses will be readily
appreciated by those desiring to store
grain. The cleaning, weighing and ell
evating facilities of this warehouse are
conducted upon careful, prompt and
scientific principles, which cannot fail
to meet the approval of depositors of
grain. w. s. Newbury, Esq, as well
his employees about the warehouse, are
prompt, affable and obliging, sparing
no pains or emitting no effort to az
eommodate the patrons of that very
convenient and capacious store-house

The HARVEST QUEEN.-It seems
that, In ailuding, last week to the Incl
dent in which Mrs. Martin Luper fig
ured, we were in error in stating that
she drove a threshing team. The Reg
lister gives this version of the affair,
which is youcIled for as being eminent
ly correct,
One day last week. Judge Baber, while at the
residence of Martin Luper, Esq, incidentally
remarked that he was in want of more harvest

Mrs. I.uper meant just what she said. The

made her appearance, and after selecting the
them properly harnessed and tsIitehedo TO the
Walter A. Wood self-raking reaper mounted
and proceeded with the business of cutting the
wheat. For two days Mrs. Luper managed that
