SECOND DISPATCH.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
LAKE CITY, Sept. 19.-Thls fair is beginning
to assume respectable proportions. The attend
ance to-day was far more than was anticipated
yesterday. The entries now number about
1000, and all day they have heen adding to the
grand aggregate. There were nearly 600 entries
made yesterday. The display of fruit is very
fine, and would do credit to any State in the
Union. In the line of garden and farm pro-
ducts there is a handsome and highly credtable
showing. Dairy products are slimly represent
ed and in the stock department but little has
been done. There few good grade horned
stock, some sheep and swine that are meritori-
Gus, and a number of good horses, but the e1-
hiblts without branches are quite imited-not
what they could be and should be. The ladies
have contributed quite literally of household
articles, and the floral display is attractive and
of great variety.
The chief attraction this afternoon was the
glass ball shooting between representatives of
the three crack clubs of Lake City, Wabashaw
and Planview. The Lake City team was rep
resented by President l.. s. VanVliet, G. r.
Benson, d. S. Crane, J. G. McCroden, E. A.
Patton and S. M. Simpson; the Wabashaw
team, T.. A. Colford, w. Fl. Robinson, Fl. s.
Elkin, David Craft Chas. Hahn and Robert
VanDyke; Plainview, nj. E. Tabor, r. Corn
we'll, S. Blackburn, Will Lawton, Oakley Sey-
mour and G. Burchard. The first prize was for
a beautiful silver medal. handsomely engraved
with sporting emblems, 10 shots each-6O s nots
to the club. Without entering into the
Lake City, 4s; Plainview, Al Wabashaw, 43.
| Then come the tie of TO- resulting:
Benson 4; Colford 5; McCroden S, and Corn
we'll 4. Next the tie of was shots Tabor 5;
Seymour 4. Lastly came the tie of 81: Colford
| d McCroden 8. The second prize, a five dollar
gold piece, awarded to the best individual aver
age score, was won by E. A. Colford, of Waba-
! shaw The third prize, a two dollar and half
gold piece, for the second best individual rec
ord, fell to M. E. Tabor, of Plainview In the
sweepstakes contest M. E. Tabor stood first,
| Chas. Hahn second and s. Blackburn third.
For amatuers, the shooting was pronounced re-
markably good. None of them profess to be d
| second Carver or Bogardus: but they all think
there is room enough at the top, and some of
| them may get there.
