THE HAGERsT0WN FAIR

HAGERsTowN Oct. 49, An i'm
mense crowd attended the Fair at
this place to-day, and it is I'M
doubtedly THE day of the Fair.
The attendance was not large on
either the opening or second day,
the people seemingly ha, ing wait
ed for to-day. The weather was
cool this morning, a heavy frost
having fallen last night, but to-
wards noon it moderated and the
sun shone forth warm and bright.
A more favorable day could not
have been desired, and the crowd
seemed to enjoy themselves high
y. The flying horse, circular
swings, wheels of fortune, etc,
were in in full operation, and the
people participated in the amuse-
ment with zest.
Tho train from Martinsburg
brought in a goodly number from
Berkeley, ord with them the Mar
tinsburg Cornet Band, which has
furnished us with excellent music
during the day.
The display of horses is good,
there being over two hundred head
on the ground. The exhibition of
cattle, hogs, sheep, etc, is quite
creditable, and shows that the far
mers of the county have taken a
lively interest in their Fair. Star
light, the famous thoroughbred
stallion, who took the first premi-
um at your fair, carried off the first
honors here also The racing has
been very good; the race to-day
being a very exciting contest
''Topsey," black mare from Read
ing, Penn, Lady Patterson, the
little sorrel from your place, and
Washington, > a bay horse, started
for a purse Of $3.50; 5000 to first
500 to second, and $50 to third.
The horses were called prompt
ly at 2 o'clock, but sometime was
occupied in getting the word. with
Topsey at the pole, Lady Patter-
son on the ontside. They got off
well together, the black taking the
lead and keeping it to the end.
winning the heat in 2:41, Lady
Patterson second. The next heat
was a repetition of the first, the
black mare winning easily in 2:40.
The third heat was called with
a new driver for the little sorrel,
she went to the front easily, and
won with little difficulty in 2:37,
2:38 and 1891.
The display of fancy article, etc.
in the ''Floral Hall" is not large,
but very creditable, and the fair
has been decided success. The
grounds are in very bad condition,
and not at all conducive to the
comfort or convenience Of people
attending.
To morrow running race and
county trot will take place and
close the fair for this year. 1t is
to be hoped that another sea-
son the society will have better ac-
commodation for holding their
exhibition than this year.

BALTIMORE, October 15.-An i'm

around the track in 2:40. Bashaw

ty he could walk to the stable. j
Gould then trotted against time,
and made 2;194, beating the
best time of Bashaw, and TAX

1T was that Of yong girl in the

must have been In life. The long

1t is found, as the work of as,
sorting and charging up to their
several banks of issue of the ma
tional bank currency progresses at
the redemption agency, that calls
have to be made upon all the
banks now in operation which
have been in existence more than
a year. This fact illustrates the
Universally of the circulation. =
The notes of banks, located in the
most remotest sections of the coun-
try, find their way to the agency
for redemption through the ordi-
nary channels Of trade, and are
equally current. As the redemp-
tions are chiefly of soiled or mutt
lated notes, very few are redeemed
of the issues of banks recently or
ganized, because they have not yet
become defaced or worn. Tney
are now nearly 1900 banks, or ra-
Their the charter numbers reach
nearly that figure The notes of
those banks in liquidation are re-
deemed from the assets in posses
sion Of the Comptroller and des-
troyed. But the charter numbers
are still retained pending the re-
demption Of the last of their circu-
alton. The agency will call upon
the banks for some FIVE millions in
all the present week for the recup-
Grafton of the five per cent. fund,
aud by the last of next week will
be in readiness to commence the
work of redemption permanently.
