DOVER, Del, Sept. 2S.-To days at
tendance at the State Fair at FLrview
Park probably dedtwenty- five hun
dred, despite the intense heat and the
nasty, sufiocatiDg dust, notwithstanding
which serious hindra6ces the people In
managed 10 see all that was
to be seen and TO have good time, gen.
orally.
The exhibits this year are certainly of
q very high order, and exceed even the
showing Of last year. The
stock exhibits, . list Of which was given
in the GAZETTE, 10 immense, aud COM
prises the finest array of stock ever seen
together at any one time and place on
this Peninsula. This is particularly so
10 reference TO the swine and cattle,
which are generally large, ip good con-
diIitIon, and of very high grade.
The chief attractions of the fair, aside
from the races, are the cereal or main
building, and the ladies' department, ,un-
der the grand stand. The former is
mainly devoted to display Of the careal
products Of the State, In which respect
The display 10 quite crsditable, despite
tbe adverse weather which farmers have
had to contend with during the past
year. A large space is also given to
other exhibits, which imparts q pleasing
variety TO this building. The most ex
tensive exhibit outside Of The cereals, Is
by the manufacturers Of ready mixed
points. The GIiard Company, Of Pbila-
delphia, makes q splendid showing, with
. miniature cottage, pointed exquisitely
with the CompaDy's ready mixed paints.

OF Harry r. Bennett, Of Dover. T. K.

turing enterprise Of Middle Delaware,by

doors, and general mill work, while, as
usual, Hecker's self-raising -four is on
