THE EVENING CRITIC.
The Montgomery County Fair.
ESTABLISHED AUGUST. Is0s.

The second day of the Montgomery County
fair yesterday proved successful in point of
attendance. The crowd received but fcw
additions from Washington, probably about
$50, the days attractions in the city work
ing badly against the fair. The events Of
the day began with q cavalcadc OF all the
stock on exhibition around the race-track.
Later in the morning the large assemblage
gathered around the stand, where addresses
were made by several gentlemen: Mr..
Brooke president of the society, called the
gathering to order, and introduced in o few
well-chosen remarks Mr.. Henry G. Halo
WE'LL of Sandy Springs, Md, who spoke of
the Importance of keeping up the interests
of the agricultural society, which has NUM-
bercd in its members many distinguished
men of this city. -
Mr.. Philip d. Laird, of Rockville, was the
next speaker, and was followed by " %
Richie, of Frederick, who reviewed Mt
length the duties of the farmer and his re-
lations with society.
After an adjournment for lunch the af-
ternoon's races afforded entertainment, the
event of the day being the county race.
This race was easily won by Jessup Blairs
Mamie. the fastest heat being made in BAG,
with w. r. Rabbits Fannie r. second and
Lady Richmond third. The purse was SO
for the first horse, $50 for the second and
$25 for the third.
The different committees on awards,
composed entirely of strangers from other
counties, have been busily at work since
the opening of the fair. Much satisfaction
is expressed at the result of their opinions.

whisIky for the President.

The temperance people have right to be
heard on the question Of the administration
of stimulants to the President. one Oh
them voices the sentiment in the following
efIusion, which we publish by requests
Whisky saved him?
Never! And tits risky
To say twas whisky,
With so many temperance people
round;
For, with bound,
They'll gather Mt the sound.
SO tits risky
TO say twas whisky.
Twas whisky kept him back,
Kept him lying on his back
Till his limbs with pain did rack
And his stomach could not keep 1t
down.
So when DR.. Brown,
Orany other quack,
Saws twas whisky saved him,
Clear the track
For, with II bound,
Thetemperancefo folks will gatherround.
SO It's risky
no say twas whisky. ,

national Theatre.

Tho theatrical season opened last night
in this city, being inaugurated by the we'll
known minstrel combination of Barlow,
Wilson, Primrose and West.
Notwithstanding the warm weather, a
splendid house responded, and although
largely crowded-tbe galleries were per-
feet sea of human faces-the theatre was
not at all uncomfortable.
While not the best minstrel troupe in the
country, this combination is of a highly
excellent character, and exclusive of the
quartet of stars, whose name it carries,
contains many variety specialtes of marked
ability and mftth- provoking humor. The
programme is varied and we'll selected, the
performers are finished in their line of
business and the music is unexcelled. The
concluding piece, "All-l've-Eat,' could be
made much funnier. 1t is rather draggy.

Late yesterday afternoon, Vim. Parker, a
colored man, was digging ditch at New
York avenue and Seventh street northwest,
when the bank caved in and buried him
in the debris in q standing position. Officer
Larrabee passed the place some time after
ward saw the top of the mans head,
Parker having succeeded in getting his head
few inches above the ground, but was held
fast, buried up to the ears and unable to
call for help. The officer summoned aid
and the laborer was dug out from his dan
gerous position. He was apparently unin-
jured. -r Lr~rf

A DETECTIVE OUTwIrrEp.-The fell
lowing story is almost too good to be
true: A certain railway company sus-
pected that they were being defrauded
by passengers travelling without tickets,
so detective was sent to travel on the
trains. One day he heard passenger
remark that it was very easy to 60
from Dayton to Moorield without .
ticket. The detective watched his man
closely, and was surprised to find him
hand proper ticket to the conductor.
Entering in conversation with the pas
senger, the detective said:
~ should like to know your plan for
travelling without q ticket, as / am .
frequent traveller, and don't mind Civ
ing you dollar for the trick.
"Done," said the man, and after h.
pocketed the money he remarked quiet
~, when I want to travel without Q
ticket I walk"
