SIXTH LOUISIANA STATE FAIR.
The Fourth bay.

The Fourth bay.
Yesterday the weather was all that could
be desired, and crowds focked to the fair.
1t was the gala day for the children of the
schools, who were there in force with their
teachers. There were no less than fifteen
thousand people on the grounds during
the day-many more than on any day
during the fair. The halls were SO damned
one could hardly get about.
| 1t is pleasure to record the success thus
far of this fair, and hope it is only the har-
binger of the future. New Orleans can
make fair attractive, and with Q little
more exertion we can make the Louisiana
best fair in the Union.
Messrs Finney and Burns have Q very
fine assortment of New Orleans packed
meats, pork raised and packed and smoked
in Louisiana. 1t is q fair display, and the
first ever exhibited put up in this city.
Messrs. Keep, Raymond & Co. and James
H. Oglesby make nice show of smoked
meats. J. Louapre, No. 22 Rampant street,
shows lot of home bread of all kinds. d.
| Adams, No. 56 Orange street, haa fine lot
| of English bread on exhibition, baked by
| himself.
The Phenix File Works, No. 211 Tchoupi-
| toulas street, j. Beckett, foreman, who was
several years with Wade g. Butcher, Shef.
field, exhibit as fine collection Of files

exhibit polishing soap for glass, marble,
silverware, ETC. The Bienville Oil Works
exhibit samples of oil, oil cake, cotton seed,
| hulled and unhulled, and several bales of
cotton.
Messrs. Nelson & Co., New York black
lead works, exhibit the gem stove polish,
which took the blue ribbon. They also ex-
hibit their Ceylon plumbage machinery
lubricant, which is in use on most of the
railroads in the country. 1t is certainly the
best lubricant made, and will do all that is
1
bon after three spirited trials yesterday.
They claim this lubricant will keep the
journals of the car cool, no matter how fast
train may run. 1t allows no friction, and
saves about thirty-fve per cent over other
lubricants. We understand Messrs. Slo-
duce it here, and we have no doubt it will
prove as great a success in this as it has
done in other States. There is no grit
whatever in this plumbago, and it can be
used on fine buggy or heavy dray.
Charles Ballejo has fine lot of Califor-
days from San Francisco. He also exhibits
lot of cheese and butter from the cele-
brated Model Farm dairy, Goshen, New,
York This butter and cheese is selected by

texture and finish. He also shows some
ramie of this years growth four feet high
Messrs. Mcintyre & Applegate received
the blue ribbon for the best display OF
plumbing materials, stationary washstands,
etc. They certainly deserve it, as they ex
