The interest in the baby show was of
the most intense character. The Pavil-
ion was thronged oil day, and at the
hour of r. NJ. the rush to the eastern
department, where the baby show was
held, was prodigious.
About 500 babies and their mothers
were to be seen in the hall as spectators.
while the rest of the room was occupied
by old bachelors, with hungry eyes,
signing about what might have been,
and wondering what the future would
bring in the sweet subsequently.
The committees of award were very
slow yesterday in making their final
return. In fact, some of the commit
tees could not be found, SO that we are
unable to present complete report of
awards.
II must be evident that many Of cur
farmers did not make an effort to
exhibit anything There was no display
of large melons, beets, squashes or
wheat. The mines put in no samples of
coal, gold, silver or lead, when there
should have been 500 samples.
The committee on fruit and forest
trees were not to be found.
| Such delay is inexcusable. The
committee have been since Thursday
morning in arriving at conclusion.
| Why the delay is a conundrum that
the HERALD cannot solye. A reporter
has been in attendance at the Fair both
day and night. to report the result of
the exhibition officially, SO that if there
is any lack Of information of the result
it is not the fault of the newspapers.
| Besides the awards published yester-
day we obtain to-day the following:
H. Giese, barbed wire; diploma.
| j. A. Barrows. marbleized iron man.
tells, diploma.
Seventh Street Furniture Factory, for
display of home-manpfactured furniture.

Charles charnock, best combined bed
and bookcase; diploma.
| Dottsr & Bradley, best display of fur
niture, drapery and carpets; diploma.
| M. W. Childs, superior range; di-
Iploma.
Further premiums will be announced
as soon as declared by the committee.
| In. the evening the attendance was
livery large and brilliant. There was a
large dancing party in the early part Of
the night, followed by lecture on 'sThe
Indians of the Far West" by Mr.. J. w.
ingalls,, illustrated with exhibitions Of
Indian weapons of war and peace,
drums. personal ornaments end utensils
of husbandry, with sketches of Indian
character and hints regarding the proper
management of the Indian tribes.
| To-day will be the last day of the

attendance.
