GRAND RAPIDS, Allcll., Oct. a-The fourth
day Of the Union Fair has been very Guild md
stur1ny; hence the attendance has been quito
limited, not more than 900 persons being on
thc grounds. Tie principal work OF tho day
consisted in receiving reports from viewing
Committees and awarding premiums. Among
the prcm'uma wcro nearly 100 offered especially
by c.tlzens for the hest butter, bread, grain,
etc. Bono Ut these called out entries from more
tlau 100 competitors each, significant ihdIca-
tton Of tho interest IN and usefulness OF the
Fair. Thcsv premiums were worthy Of tho
strife, a they wore valued at from $50 to
800 each. Some idea Of the genealogical c4hi.
bltion may bo obtained from tho faet TINT ssy-
cral exhibitors displayed from 100 to $50 plates
each Of choice fruits, md one lady showed sixty
ak different specimens Of rannGd fruits, vege-
tables, and domestic pickles. TI,nse items aro
given as tndlccs Ut what tho exhibition contained,
F!nan Tally, Us In other respects, tho fair hns
been q complete success. Though the premiums
offered were gunerous, numerous, and varied,
there will be more receipts than expenditures,
despite unpleasant weather. The Society re-
elected It's old officers, fitting tribute to their
faithtulness, energy, md skill. The fair closed
tpday, except three races, the frecfor-all, half-
mile, and mile running races, which were post
puned until Tomorrow afternoon because Of the
storm.
