Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1879-10-28

The Sterling Manufacturing Co.. of Baltimore,
lad erected booth in front OF the Rotunda,
where in the presence OF the people an old
lined colored cook, turn ed out the lightest DIS
quits and incest cakes every rev minutes'
showing the superior advantages OF the BAKING
Powder, which they guarantee to De free from
all deleterious substances, and Is as suitable lor
making light bread as for biscuits.
&c Smith. of the Vermont Farm Manufac-
turing Co.. exhibited the cooley Dreamer
which attracted the close attention OF the larh-
er's wives. and met with their general appro-
bation His swing churn, although noVeily'
was very simple and met with much favor.
Clinedinst & Bodell showed some handsome
ly finished and improved bnggies. when were
greatly admired, as was also the eAhioi' in""o
by Click g. Miller, of Bridgewater.
The Va, Feed Cutter, invented by w. A. hlle'
of Valley Mills, Augusta CO.. was already iaml-
liar to many of our people. and we are giad 70
saw is meeting with universal appropatlon
wherever exhibited.
The exhibit of machinery by P. T. Burkhold-
or was a very fine one. The "InVinciole VI
brator Thresher made by Messrs. Roberts,
O,.Ol
Mr. Rurkholder is agent, attracted much at
tention. it being the first one ever seen In tnls
county. It met with much favor with the farm
erS.
The light open wagons of J. A, HOunihan and
the wagons made by w. w. Gibbs, were closely
examined by many and pronounced of excel.
lent workmanship and good material.
Among other articles in the ladies depart
ment there was particularly noticeable GRO
cheted Tidy made by Miss Richardson, OF VIM
chester, which took the premium at the Cen
tennial and was much admired by all who saw
it.
The Rotunda was better filled with all kinds
of exhibits this year than ever before, and they
were so numerous that we find we have not
space to make use Of the notes we made on the
many interesting articles we saw there. We
can only refer our readers to the list Of awards,
feeling satisfied that the judges must have
found it a very difficult task to come to any
decision when there was such number of ar
ticles to decide between.
The Stonewall Brigade Band under the lead
ership of Prof. A. ]. Turner, was present during
the three last days of the Fair, and from the
Grand Stand discoursed some of their finest
during the exhibition.
On Thursday the Staunton Artillery and West
Augusta Guard, headed by the Stonewall Band,
marched to the Grounds, where the Artillery
took position on hill west of the track and
fred several salutes.
PRESENTATION OF THE SILVER cuFs.
1t was Joyous occasion on last Friday night
when the English contestants in the Flat and
Hurdle Races with number of invited guests,
were given splendid supper at the Va. Hotel
BY MIR. J. D. Crowle and the silver cups were
presented to the winners. A long table was sci
in the dining room of the Hotel and the supper
was presided over by Mr.. o. w. Wilkinson o.
Augusta county. After a hearty repast of the
many good thugs served the VA Hotel Cup
was presented to the winner by Genl Echoli
in q very happy speech, and was appropriately
responded to by the recipient. Mr.. Davenport
Of Orange. The other cups were then presented
and received, and toasts were soon in order.
GenI Echois proposed THAT true and good
woman, Queen Victoria" which was received
with the greatest applause. Mr.. o. w. Wilk!n
son proposed 1.-THE President OF the United
States" which was heartily responded to.
The toast to the "Press' was responded to il
a very ornate and excellent speech by Mr.. ia
cob Yost.
Mr., Wilkinson, in very humorous and com
plimentary remarks proposed the health OF Mr.
]. d. Crowle, the prime promoter of the Englisi
races which was drunk with the heartiest ap-
plauSe.
After few more toasts the ladies of the par
ty withdrew to The parlor and then in the
words of Tam O'Shapter "the fun grew fast and
furious" but all was good huHored and order
y, and in a short while this gathering Of native
born Englishmen had dispersed after o most
pleasant evening, and with many hopes OF q
similar meeting at the next Baldwin Augustf
