The Sixth Evesiag.
Owing to the severe storm last even
ing, the attendance Mt the Fair was moi
SO largo as on previous evenings, ye'
there was u larger number present
than had really been expected, and
those present had lost none of their in
tercst in the transactions published for
the evening. To make tho chances in
articles TO be drawn more tempting ia
the single a,rons, Cfor nearly all OF the
genile:.en were there alonc.) the young;
ladies put on more bcwitching graccs
AID arched smiles as they very innocent
ly remarked that they were included in
the "chance for the beautiful dear" at
least, so VIC understood them, and tried
to borrow money to invest We think,
too, this may account for the round
about course some of the gentlemen took
upon "going home" The Wheel Of For
tunc went round and round for five
cents nance, and tho Dolly Warden
babies and "po-or gold drew the boys,
and tho boys drew them. "Whcn der
band bcrgins to blay, der peoples kept
80 sktiIl," for their music was superb
last night, and was the subject Of gencr-
al commentator, "oxspocially when
Ad plays der drum" The amusing fea-
ture of last evenings Fair was the debut
of the famous Turkey Gobbler of Smoky
Hill before Salina select audience. He
wasbashfGl; he turned red in the face,
(as did Mr.. Gels, after introducing him.
and he uttered not a word. He was
dressed in zouave uniform, with q feather
in his cap, rings in his ears and beau
tiful goldO watch and chain at his side.
This bird is more famous than other
gobblers inasmuch as he had whipped
all birds apd beasts upon his ex-owner's
farm; had driven the sneaking wolf
from the chicken roost, and had never
been guilty of that common trick among
turkey gobblers-a feat made the more
famous in being sung of at concerts be-
fore Boston audi-(but to return, )-of
yanking grasshoppers off the sweet-po-
tatO vines. This bird was drawn by
Mrs. l.. Tressln-No. SO. The Coin
Cake, q regular gold mine, was drawn
BY Mr.. J. Donegan. Never mind, Dan,
its all in the family! "Squingineer"
Krucgcr then steamed up the engine on
the last chance and Mr.. II. T. Sudendorf
was appointed in Georges place. 1t IL
reported that Mr.. s. will establish a
planning, saw, grist and coffee mill, to be
propelled by this engine. Until the mill
is establish, the engine might be used
on the Narrow Guage. The vases and
card receiver were voted to Mrs. N. D.
Sampson. After the voting, the band
played . schottishe and . waltz, to the
time Of which several couples whirled
gracefully round the room, others swayed
s'thc heart, which beats to the time of
life" Many an anxious father stood
about tho stand when the Baby Cloak
was being drawn; but, law-mc! if Erv.
Bcardsley, who hasn't even taken a
thought for tho baby yet, didn't draw it
Hall vas mad! The last article, the At
CHAN for child's carriage, was drawn by
by Mr.. d. B. Powers. Many an innocent
stood around the stove after tho closing
of tho drawing, dreading to venture out
into the storm and yet fearing that they
would be "driven into the cold" and in
talking over the events of the evening
the unanimous opinion was that they
had enjoyed themselves SO much that
they had hardly noticed but what the
hall had been crowded.
