THE GENUINE.
Quite drawback forced itself ON Mr..
Colclszer yesterday, by the combination of
the lock in his safe forcing itself out of or
der. All day long the hammer and chisel
was brought to bear on the doors, and not
until O'Clock were they opened and
| the goods placed in the case. When they
were however the place presented all its
old appearance of elaborate beauty The
display Mr.. Colclazer has made during the
entire time of the Exposition will he re-
membered hereafter For extensiveness and
taste 1t has not been surpassed
in any line of business, and it is
a faithful sample OF his business.
After the safe was opened and the goods put
on display yesterday il was an interesting
scene to witness when the crowds gathered
around the iewelry case, and made their
comments.
At THE SECOND SPACE,
west of the music pagoda, is one of the dis
plays of Mr.. II. s. Bigham, agent of the
Buffalo Scale Company. Platform and
counter scales of all sizes are here.
Placed on the top of one are two
heads of Buflslos, one of which has
gas Jets projecting from its nostrils.
North of the building Mr.. Bigham has a
large track scale and a four ton hay scale
both of which are OF excellent Workmanship.
The scales OF this manufacture are too well
known throughout the country for
their durability and correctness to
need any comment here. Suf-
| flee it to be said that Mr.. Bigham is con-
stanily receiving catering testimonials of
the scales and need only to show the quail
ties of Them to satisfy "a purchaser.
| Owing to the need of a larger room Mr..
| Bigham has moved his st0rerOoms TO the
second door west of Alabama on Washing
ton street, where a full supply OF those ex-
| cellent scales can always be examined.

| STALLS AND PENS.
THE FINE STOCK BREEDERS AND THEIR
PRIZE TAKERS.
! In the immense amount of fine bred swine
on the fair grounds there is an indication of
a purpose which all fairs should be made to
subserve; viz. the sale of stock and the dis
tribution of good blood among the farmers.
At this II ate Fair the breeders of hogs have
brought in 20, 10. 60 and, in one case, as high
as 100 head, which they hold for sale and
numbers of which they have sold.
It may be something of an i'm
position on the managers to furnish pens for
, stock sales, but il will suggest suitable ar
rangcmenfs for this very Important purpose
of stock fair. 1t is little wonderful what
prices pig will bring which belongs to this
hoggish aristocracy. Forty, SO, and even
500 have been paid for single animals on
the grouod, and the like figures have been
, repeatedly refused for choice specimens, all
of which shows that fine breeding is the way
to make money off from the farm. In noting
some OF the progressive stock breeders
