a DECIDED DAMPER

DECADED DAAFER
ON the Fourth Days Exercises a. the
state PaIr-Tho Races interrupted by
Steady Rain-The Biggest Crowd Yet
Present, and the Best Day, Up to Four
O'Clock.
A larger crowd was on the Fair Grounds
yesterday than those Of any two previous
days combined As on Wednesday, Rota-
bly, larger proportion Of the attendance was
composed OF substantial country folks and
people from neighboring towns, and pleas
ingly numerous class OF those present were
OF the gentler sex The forenoon was spent
principally inspecting the exhibits in
Floral aud Horticultural Halls and the Ma
Chinery Building or in wandering about the
attractive ma3es Of the Main Exposition
Building. The Aquarium, the Art Depart
ment and the various special exhibits all
came in for share Of attention. The stock,
sheep and other shows also were the centre
Of admirng crowds for the greater part Of
the day, not even the races seeming to de-
prive large crowds Of their interest, in the
cattle particularly,
The Main building improves upon ac-
quaintanCe, and some Of the special exhibits
are calculated to win the admiration OF the
dullest and most phlegmatic lOoker-on alive.
This is true in large measure Of
MYLEs sons EXHIBIT Of PHOTOGRAPHS AND
CRAYoS PORTRAITS.
This exhibit is on the opposite side Of the
west wing from the Art Department, and Is
one OF the most attractive to be seen. Hang
ing on the corner, In II conspicuous place, Is
most excellent Crayon OF Gov. Jackson, and
crayOns of Hon. C. W, SGabright, CX-Sheriif
Tingle and Mrs, Tingle are also shown, with
those Of other prominent persons All are ~
near perfection as could be desired and show
that ihe younger Mr., Myles, who does the
CrayOn work, is master hand at the work.
No better Crayon portraits arG to be obtained
anywhere. Indeed, the same may be said OF
the photographs in the collection, which are
VI all sizes aud varieties, but oil Of surprising
merit us portraits, The finish isalsO equal to
that Of any pictures turned out Of Il Wheel
ing gallery, aud oil the work will compare,
with credit to the MGssrs. MylCs, with any
Photographic work done In the largest cities
In the country. MylGS 4 Sons establishment
on Main street in Centre Wheeling, Is ono OF
which the city may be proud. This state
mCnt, we are confident, will be borne out by
every readers judgement who inspccts the If
exhibit.
Occupying prominent position on the
east side Of the south wing Is another striking
exhibit, We refer to
