most admirably. This feat, it must be borne
in mind, is done with one gun which he him

After the captain had finished Eugene, his

of which Eugene's is but miniature copy.
Eusene's shooting record yesterday is ahead Of
anything DIR. Carver has done. Despite strong
wind, he not only showed himself able to break
glass balls but to hit half dollars, quarters,
marbles, nickels, and even three cent pieces.
His quiet, impressive, retiring demeanor is also
matter of wonderment. Apparently uncon-
scious of performing any extraordinary feat,
he continues to load aud fire his little piece in

world with still more remarkable performances
in his line.

ST. PAUL BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Prof. Faddis, principal of the St. Paul Bust
ness College. had the blues last night terribly.
He was blue all over the committee having in
sisted on awarding him four premiums. one
which he uses, another for business writing,
third for ornamental penmanship and
the fourth fer the work of students.
Prof. faddis' college has grown to be
one Of the institutions of St. Paul,
and is something which the city can well
be proud of. His display at the State fair was
elaborate, covering an entire side of what was
the original art gallery. It embraced general
balance sheets, prepared by students of the
college, which were wonderful in accuracy The
ornamental work could scarcely be detected
from fine engraving and the specimens of pen
tanned host of testimonials of the leading
bust nesfs men of st. Paul endorsing the col
lege, and another was occupied with
testimonials of students Who haylng success
fully graduated, are now occupying situations
of profit and trust. These latter testimonials
especially are of q practical character, az they
show that young men who have experienced
the benefits of the institution appreciate it's
value Over 2 500 have already enjoyed its adj
vantages, and the greater number are
enjoying lucrative positions as
the results of their practical education. No
young man desiring practical business educa-
tiep should fail to communicate with Prof.
Faddis, aaa when fully informed of his system
and the advantages which his institution
He did not ''' need the endorsement
Of q State fair to establish his reputation,
though the premiums resolved yesterday add
another laurel to those already won. The col
lege was established fourteen years ago. and
has become part and parcel of st. Paul Its
success is matter worthy of public eongratu-
lRtion.
A sEPTUAGENARIANs HAHDICRAFT.
In Commercial hall there are many fine Spec
linens of needle work, which are we'll worth
careful and minute examination. Among them
are two quilts, the handiwork of Mrs. Peter
SPHINX, of this city, lady over seventy years If
age. One is beautifully executed specimen
of crochet shell work, done in thread, which
presents a most natural appearance, and 10 as
exact az if woven by machinery, instead of be-
ing the product CT human fingers, and those
the fingers of a lady who has passed the three
ac0re and ten years allotted by the psalmist "a
the span OF portal existence. The second is a
silk patchwork quilt, WHICH in nicely and con-
trast and harmony of coloring san hardly be
surpassed. To realize it's beauty it must be
seen and carefully inspected, and when it is
it's perfection is indeed a matter of wonder
ment, and would reflect tho highest credit upon
any modern young lady who had just gradu-
ated from the most fashionable boarding school
of the country. Both specimens are worthy of
premiums.
In the article of perfumery. Hoyts German
cologne is we'll worth examination. The ex-
hibit is both attractive and interesting in the
manner of its display, showing taste and admi-
rabls arrangement in the exhibition of the va
rious bottles and cases, all of which is so de.
signed as to attract inevitably the attention of
the passers-by. 80

The balloon ascension, which was to have
taken place yesterday afternoon, was prevented
by an unfortunate accident which overlook
the aerial ship as it was being inflated. This

threw it against a house, tearing rent in it
and preventing all possibility Of a speedy
repair of the damage.
A procession of half a dozen wagons, filled
with men and boys. and drawn by j. 1. Cases
