splendOr, making the outlook for the
day in every way favorable. The Con-
notion Railway has a line of coaches
rrnning eveay half hour, the first train
leaving the Tuscarawas avenue station
at eight o'clock, making the run in
about five minutes. At the Fair
Ground entrance the Railroad deposits
its passengers on a platform in front of
a special ticket Office. Gaining admis-
sion to the grounds it is but minutes
walk to Floral Hall and the main eXhi-
bitiOn grounds. Already great activity
is shown in all the departments of dis
play.
MACHINERY.
The usual place for the display of fagri-
cultural machinery is being rapidly
filled up by our local manufacturers,
who are placing in position all the
styles Of work made by them. Engines
for driving the same are in operation.
The entries in all the classes are COM
ing in rapidly, and it is the opinion of
Superintendent Matthews that all will
be more complete this year than at any
previous fair. HOrsehesh of fine quail
ity, trOtting and domestic, is coming in
lively. The exhibitions in Floral Hall
are, as yet, in process of formation and
all through the hall is heard the sound
of hammer and nail, while the deft
fingers of the ladies soon adOrn the
bare walls with the most delicate fabrics,
Messrs, Raber & Hershey, of this
county thoroughly practical farmers,
have on exhibition the superior" grain
drill, manufactured by Messrs. Thomas
Ludlow and Rogers, of Springfield, O.,
which is also equipped with "fertil-
izer" attachment. The fact that these
gentlemen are agents for this drill is
good proof of its merits, as the success
full cultivation of the soil has been a
life long study with them.
The exhibit in this Department is
very creditable. The engines are now
putting away and the merry click of the
wheels and the flashing of the bright
red reel arms in the sun presented
lively and animated scene.
c. AULTMAN & co.
Occupy the raised platform fronting the
wagon road, leading from the entrance
gate. They have one Harvester and
Wire Binder, one Harvester and Cord
Binder, one Table Rake, one DrOpper
one Mower (Buckeye,) one Monitor
engine, one traction engine, which al
the present time is travelling arOunC
the grounds, being more easily con
trOlled than most teams of horses. L
is a very dOcile animal. Last, but b!
no means least, is the vibrator
Threshing Machine, which has been ou
for two aeasOns and is great improve
ment over their old Separator. The fol
lowing points about the machine wer
furnished by Mr.. Hawk, the Company
agent;
The New Vibrator is an improve
ment over the old Separator in
in as much that the straw and grain ar,
taken away with an open carrier, and a
the end of the carrier is an Overhanginl
beater, so located that the straw ant
grain strikes it at the lower half, so nt
grain can flow past and go into tn
straw after separation has commenced
then the straw is broken over six times
The breaking over of the straw an,
thrasher can try in his own barn with
shaking fork. Let him fix two piles o
straw, in the same way as it comes iron
the cylinder, then take his fork an,
shake the first pile seven or eight times
then remove it to a clean place an
he will find the lower part of tn
straw clean, but in the upper part tn
grain has not had time to get dow
through. Then take the second pile
give it one shake, break it over on tn
side, shake again over on the sides sevel
or eight times, and the grain will all b
out. That is, the principle with Ou
system of beateTs. In cleaning W
have an under and Overblast, by
windbOard so located that One-half tn
blast goes over the top of it and unde
the riddle, the other half is directed I
the bottom of the shoe by the VIM
board, making an Oyerblast, con
bining both the old principle
of over and under blast. The ms
chine has also complete Glove
