FAIRvlEw PARK, DOVER, Sept. q.
The grounds to-day present an ap-
pearance in marked contrast with that
of the preceding days. Then, there
was great passing too and fro of great
crowds of eager, expectant people all
burdened with a desire to see and ex-
perience. Now, everybody is in state
Of bustling activity all intent on re-
moving their exhibits and attending
To ther business incidental to the
closing hours of the exhibition.
The sound Of hammers and the re-
sonant cries of the workmen rang over
the grounds, while the hackmen, con-
stantly coming and going, kept up a
continual din. Dover ladies lifted from
art gallery to main building and from
main building to art gallery with even
Regularity and their merry laugh
ter rang out on the calm still air with
a pleasing effect. The fair had been
a success, and consequently everybody
was happy.
At the depot the same scene of activ-
ity presented itself. The sidings we're
lined with cars, into which were hur-
riedly piled great, loads of miscellaneous
articles and machinery. All engaged
in removing the goods worked as though
they were doing it merely to rid them
selves of a superhuity of muscular pow
er. They had been confined SO long on
the grounds that it was evident they
were glad that they were going home.
The association had been indeed pleas
ant, but the returns for labor and time
expended were far ahead on the debit
list, and hence the unusual haste in
preparing their departure.
Among those who were busy was Mr..
L. +. James, of Wilmington. He had
with him his large cylinder press to-
gether with type and other material.
He had with him complete outfit for a
printing Office and the trouble of re
moving this was great. He had been
successful in his venture with the
estate Fair Record" The editorial s.atf
was made up from journalists Of other
papers, as follows: II. H. Colclazrr, of
"Every Evening"" C. W. Westmore of
"Field and Afoat' of Philadelphia /;
Charles Reynolds, Jr., of Philadelphia
"Press" and the REPUBLICAN represen-
tative. 1t was a bright, sparkling pa
per, entirely original and the success
attained is such as to warrant Mr..
James in making second publication
next year.
UNUSUAL EXHIBITS.
The Chairman of the Committee
on exhibits on making his round
among those removing goods, per-
sonally complimented C. W. Chay-
tor, agent of L. F. Adair, Of Will
mingtoA, for the completeness of the
display. The exhibit has already been
announced in the REPUBLICAN,, and with
it mention of the fact that Mr.. Adair
had drawn diploma. The furniture
displayed was handsome and of a su-
perior quality.
Mr.. G. J. Lawton, dealer in glass and
china ware was also the receiver of
special mention for display. Mr.. Ed
ward Mitchell, the aimable agent, had
the exhibit in charge, and between his
good ..looks and the fine appearance OF
the goods, the space was the constant
source of admiration to the ladies'. Mr..
Lawton received premium for display
while there he took in quite large
number of orders.
Mr.. J. L. Woodcock the eminent hor-
olagist of Easton, Md, was present at
the fair giving an exhibition of his new
plan of jeweling watches. He is an

sentative man of The advanced idea. He

ems to revolutionize the watch business
in this portion Of the country. Nomi-
nal rates are charged and guarantees
given for the proper repair of watches.

country by mail.
Chief Justice J. P. Comegys, who is
as enthusiastic on agriculture as he is
eminent in jurisprudence, showed to
the REPUBLICAN a jar of wheat contain
ing half gallon. The grain was of
unusual size and very fine. He ex-
planned to us that it was grown in his
garden at Dover, and that it had been
planted, grain by grain, two inches
apart IN rows fifteen inches from each
other, on October 25th, 1878. There
were three gills which is at the rate of
So bushels, 5 gallons and ] quart for

farmers. The Chief Justice has named
it the "gold dust wheat"
