In presenting this array Of figures, We
have, of course, adopted the shortest

by the GREAT FORT WAYNE AND PENE-
syLyANlA LINE, which runs all its trains
direct to the main entrance, 'thus saving
to the traveller the cost Of carriage hire"
or the "yexatious annoyance Of slow
gowing street cars, which travellers by
all other routes must use, in order to
reach the Centennial grounds moro
than three miles distant from any depot"
except the commodious one erected by
the PENNSYLVANIA LINE for the enjoy
ment Of its patrons.
Every visitor to the Centennial has
testified to the superiority Of Great Fort
Wayne and Psnnsylvanis Line, with its
complete and elegant Parlor, Sleeping
and Hotel Coaches. where one can
luxariously recline and view with de-
light the charming scenery OF LOFTY

popular line.
One could spend hours in writing Of
it's beauties and comforts, but space
forbids US saying more that this: BY all
means take the Great Fort Wayne and
Pennsylvania Line to the Centennial,
and reach tho very GATEWAY OF THE Ex-
POSITION without change of cars or any

THE COUNTY FAIR.
what II Was; What Il Might
have been and What IL May
be.

1t rained last week to all in
tents and purposes. The men who
this year have in charge our County
Fair, and who, in common, we hope,
with very many citizens Of Cedar,
earnestly desire that she may main
tain worthy and successful annual
exhibition, waded through each day
Of mud and rain hoping for something
better on the morrow. But il did
not come. All the conditions affect
ing attendance only grew worse and
worse. Wet grew wetter; mud
grew muddier, and blues grew bluer.
Never once during the four days that
the machine was held in hand ready
to run At moments notice, were the
gate keepers stationed or any pre-
tense Of business made. Not a cent
was taken in save the small amounts
paid stockmen for stalls and feed.
No committees were appointed, no
awards made, and, it is needless to
say, no premiums paid. In all these
essentials the fair was complete, Jun
mi,igated and superlative fizzle.
But from this it need not be infer
red that it was a fzzle in every re-
spect. On the contrary there was,
in spite Of the weather, brought up
on the ground and duly entered =
better show Of everything that goes
to make up 6rst-class agricultural
exhibition that will be found in one
county out Of ten where everything
goes off swimmingly. Observe
There were SO entries in the cattle
classes, 8 in sheep, 81 in hogs, lOl in
horses, SO in poultry, GA in farm and
garden products, 50 in fruit and flow
ers, GA in household manufactures,
l4S in pantry stores, and GO in other
classes-in all 139 actual entries, be.

The quality too, Of the show was SUI.
perb. For instance, there were for.
ty-six pens Of pigs-sll of them Of
first families, and making lot hard
to excel any where.
However, the wind didn't blow
much, but the rain decended and the
house fell, no sand being in the ques.
ton. But in falling under this wet
blanket it has re-demonstrated that
Cedar has everything necessary for q
first. class county Fair, and also thai
her citizens are DESTROYS Of
having such an one. Very many
exhibitors, some OF them large
ones both in cattle and other
classes, express desire that The
thing be tried again this fall saying
they would come in full force and j
necessary to help the society out o
its weather enforced straits, woult
donate whatever premiums they nigh
receive. We understand that the di
rectory meets next week to take thi
matter under Amusement. We hope
they may see their way clear to try
again about the 10th Of October; an,
think in such case the citizens of Tip
