Last evening was a very successful one at the
Garfield fair and most of the booths turned in the
largest amount OF receipts since the fair
opened. In proportion to the attendance the sales
were very satisfactory, and the managers only
complain that the people do not come in as large
numbers as they should They hope that in spite
of the weather the remaining days will be more
successful in financial way.
The attendance at the opening Of the fair this
morning was quite as large on previous days but
the greater part were strangers There no lack OF
interest on the part Of the ladies in charge of the
booths and the other attendants, and they were
all at their posts when the fair opened.

THE COAST SURVEY EXHIBIT
The exhibit made by the coast survey office at the
Garfield Monument fair is worthy OF special notice.
In addition to some OF the superior instruments
used In the survey and specimens OF the standard
weights and measures of the United States, there
are shown two interesting models OF submarine
geography. which have attracted great deal of
attention. The scales Of depths In these models
are, of course, much exaggerated. One OF these
models is a representation of the bed OF the Gulf
of Mexico, showing In that almost land locked sea
the surprising Depth exceeding 1900 feet over an
area as large as the state OF Georgia. The most
prominent features brought out are the vast banks
of the coasts of Florida, Louisiana and Yucatan;
The extremely steep slopes which lead to the
deep plateau, and the great projection of the
Mississippi delta across the natural bank to nearly
the margin of deep water, explaining the success
OF the jetties. The other model represents the
conformation OF the Gulf OF Maine, that great
hight between Nantucket and Cape Sable, and
shows In q most striking manner The eraSiOns OF
the coast line and the various banks ana deeps.
This model was prepared for the U. s. Fish COM
mission for the purpose OF illustrating the natural
causes upon which certain fishing grounds de-
pend. In addition to the foregoing EXHIBITS IS a
machine for predicting The tides. II is by means
or this that the tide tables published by the coast
survey are computed. The machine gives the times
ana heights OF high and low water for any harbor
for which it Is set, according to certain numbers
derived from observations continued during a
number OF years.

Capitol on Friday to those who failed to get them
in the schools.
A BEAUTY's TROUBLES.
The young lady who has charge OF the Garfield

OF even handsome woman is not happy one
In conversation with STAR reporter this morn
ing she told part Of her troubles. She said that
notices Of her being at the fair had appeared in
yesterdays papers, and the fact OF her having
been at the 9TH regiment fair In New York and
having had her picture in the New York Graphic
as typical face Of American female beauty, with
other illusions OF complimentary nature, had
attracted general attention. The consequence was
that last evening policeman had to be stationed
at her booth to keep the crowd back. ~ don't

reporter.
