Wednesday opened with heavy
wind, and az an sarly hour thick clouds
Of dust enveioprd the Fair grounds.
In the open air the gale nearly took
ones breath, while the dust blinded
the eyes. The Temporary buildings
creaked and ratified to an extent that
made timld people cautious about en-
tering them. Altogether the prospect
was not fiatlering; but everybody
seemed to consider that as eve were
here first" we should make the best of
it. The only place on the grounds that
afforded shelter from the elements was
the spacious Floral Hall. Thither all
steps were wended, and well they
might, fog aside from the comfort of
getting out OF the wind, the sight OF
the exhibition within vas In every
sense grand one. Gentlemen of we'll
known ability to Judge, who had re-
Gently visited the Atchison Fair, stat
ed TO us that this department OF our
exhibition far surpassed their.
In reviewing the contents OF the
Hall during tile forenoon, We detected
many articles worthy of special men-
ton. Foremost among these were the
specimens of Lyon county mechanical
skill ana genius.
John Mcdonald had some doors,
brackets, ETC., that attracted much no.
