THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. TUESDAY OCTOBER 1874

stalls on the west to the agricultural prod
duct building on the east was one dense and
continuous army, rushing on and on. To
attempt the passage between the two points
was like going into battle, almost.
Another thing. These people were
from the country and the cities
and villages OF the state round about.
The liberality of the railroads in granting
excursion rates proves good policy for all
concerned. The people outside erjoy cheap
excursion 10 the city and il was 30 small
part OF the amusement To note
the pleasant meetings OF friends gath
cred here from distant places. The STREET
car business was funny to all, except the
poor overloaded bruies that were driven and
banged almost to death in the transportation
struggle. Thus it was Yesterday. and the
same thing Is to he repeated to-day aud to-
morrow. Now, after this. If there il iinsn-
cial squeeze on the day OF settlement ft will
prove bad management, waste and stealing
somewhere. Everybody remarks the extra
ordinary collection of live stock A discr. M
mating foreign visitor and stock man said
that he had been five or six times 10 attend
the great shows in England, and that be had
never come in contact with such a display in
excellence and quality as he found on these
grounds. And right here it is due To
MR.. WILLIAM SMITH,
of Detroit, to call attention to the
fact that he has contributed to this
fair a larger, more varied and valuable
stock show than has ever been made by any
one man in this or any other State. His fat
cattle have been viewed with wonder and
pleasure by thousands. The two great
steers, weighing almost two tons each, are
as shapely and handsome as they are great.
His short horn bull EMPEROR thorough
bred, and not fattenei for show, IN the real
equal of the best fancy animals, and as he is
for sale at reasonable figures, is a rare pur-
chase for some wise stock farmer His 40
hogs embrace three breeds, two of which
the Suffolks and Essex, arc novelty in
these parts, and worthy of careful study.
Those white Suffolks are absolutely nm
eQualled. The fine ten-nlontbs SOW, But
terball;" with her nine pigs, was bought
yesterday by Mr., George w. Huston, Of the
Pan Handle yards. Two Berkshire sows,
Michigan and ''Exquisi,e'' took the red
ribbons and the premium badges hang in
rows along the pens. Mr.. Smiths stock is
an addition to the fair which is of great
value, because it furnishes new and valu-
able study 10 the citizens of Indiana.
Another gentleman from Wakemap, Ohio,
MR.. g. ii. TODD
shows 60 head of Chester Whites. that in
clude among them some as perfect hogs as
were ever bred. 1t is useless to resist the
beauty and excellence OF these clear white
hogs, of great size and matchless form. The
SOW Betty has family Of ten pigs, which
are uniform in size and beauty. The large
and fine breeding SOW Rosa" weighs SEQ
and bred IL pigs at a litter. The prize boar
"Ginger" is the very best in style, and pro-
ven to be the best as a stock getter.
Ehen there are the sows, ''Sw ee Pstakt s. -
little Queen aud Nevada all fine, and
any number of young stock for sale. Mr..
Huston secured three of these pi.ss, also, for
his breeding pens. This fine show is on the
east line of pens, next the ditch, and no one
should fail to see it, 1t is matter of some
| pride to call attention TO the
MACHINERY.
The buzz of machinery always conveys
the impression of power and speed, and il
has become so that everything in the way OF
a labor-saving machine is hailed with
delight. In this country the main

thereby handle money very rapidly, and
each time allowing small amount 70 stick
