THIRD DAY.
The WRESTLING Match, the Races, the
Fircmen,s DrilI-NOtes of the Lxhi-
bits.


Fircnen's DriII-Notes of the Exhi-
bits.
1t was great day at Howard Park yester-
day. The weather was as good as could
have been made to order, and the people i'm
proved it. In the afternoon there were at
least ten thousand people on the grounds,
and many good judges estimate the
number to be fully twelve thou
sand. The park was inirly alive
with them, the buildings were not
merely crowded but jammed, 81 that much
Of the time one could only squirm, not move,
and the grand stand was filled from the low
est TO the topmost tier of seats. As far as
attendance Is concerned the iar is immense
ly aud unprecedentedly successful. The
crowd was not only large, but goudnatured
and orderly, and the day passed off without
either accident or disorder. Excellent music
was furnished by that fine organization
Hatch's military band of Rutland
First on the programme of the day was
The WRESTLING Match
between ii. NJ. Dufer of Marlboro, Mass,
and G. w. Flagg of Braintrec, VT, which
took place at the track in the morning and
was witnessed by great crowd of people.
1t was won by Fla.s, five bouts being ncces-
sary to decide 1t.
Firemen's DTill.
In the afternoon, before the trottng the
j. II. Durkee hose company Of Fort Ed
ward, N. Y, gave an exhibition drill in
front of the grand stand which was witness
cd by an immense throng. The precision of
the men throughout all of the many ordiu-
AIRY and fancy movements elected continued
applause from the audience and woods ui
praise from the lips Ct men present com
petent to Judge of their mastery drilling.
The forming of stars and crosses were two
of the more noticeable, though by NJ means
the most remarkable of their many splendid
and perfect maneuvers The thorough drill
of these twenty-four men under their youth
full and handsome captain excited much well
deserved praise and the drill may well be
said to have been one of the most interesting
features of the day. AT the close Col. George
w. Hooker Of Brattleboro, Sergeant-at-A
of the National House of Representatives in
behalf OF the officers Of the fair and of the
audience, thanked the members of Dlrkec
Hose for their performance IN few very APP
propriate and felicilous words.

The races were highly successful, though
doubtless more sport would have attended
them had they not been decided, rs were
those of the previous day, in three straight
heats each. Probably no greater number
of people ever witnessed a horse trot a. any
fair in the State. The first race was called
at $50 p. m, five horses of the three min

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many " solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and 5 or karat case is often sold for IL
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t Is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an expert
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.

Look at the Preacher.

First, because he is speaking to you.
He speaks to all that are present. You
do not drop your head or avert your face
when friend or any man speaks to you
in the house or in the street. Acknowl-
edge by looking that you feel that you
are spoken to. Second, because looking
at him is proper return, so far as it
goes, for his pains to interest you. He
puts himself into communication with
you, and your attentive gaze at him is
obedience to his virtual solicitation that
you be in communication with him. II
is simple justice. Third, it is politenes
too. You would call one rude and ill
hammered who should avert his face when
you attempt to speak to him. Politeness
in the social circle should 60 with you
into the sanctuary.

IT is those who sought to see and to
obey the truth, and have eagerly yet pa
tiently followed on to know it, regard
less of name for new or original work,
wishing only to do their work as the Mas
ter would have it done,-it is these who
have been brought at last 80 fully into
harmony with the eternal fitness of things
that their conceptions of truth have been
the clearest and the truest, and SO they
who did not seek to be original, have
given to the world the only form of origi.
nality in morals or religion that can stand
the test of time,-the clearer vision, the
higher, fuller conceptions of the unchang.
ing laws of God.-M e. Gates.

The LADD
Improved Patent Stiffened Gold
WATCH CASES.
The LADD

The continued improvements of the
last few years, with those recently added,
keep the Ladd Watch Cases to the fore
front the standard and above all
competition.
The Ladd is the only case that has, or
has ever had, any patent upon it. 1t is
the only stiffened or filled case made
that has nickel composition for base,
or stiffening, and to distinguish it from
all others Gin which the common soft
red plating metal is used) it was desig.
mated "stiffened."
The patents granted to the Ladd are
for most valuable improvements, where
by stout, heavy centre rim gives perfect
protection to the movement, and thick
plates of gold are added to those parts
most subject to wear. All exposed sur
faces are covered with, or are entirely
of solid gold, making it by far the most
durable, the best wearing, the most
satisfactory to the wearer, and the cheap
est case for the price in every respect,
ever produced.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS TOGETHER
WITH OUR OWN SUPERIOR METHODS
AND PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE BY
SPECIAL TOOLS AND MACHINES OF OUR
INVENTION ENABLE US TO WARRANT
THE LADD CASES TO OUTwEAR ANY
MAKE OF FILLED CASES IN THE MARKET.
Ask your jeweler for the Ladd Case.
If he has not got it, 60 to one who has
and compare it with any similar case
in fact, we challenge comparison for me-
chanical construction, workmanship, ar
tistic design, engraving, turning, style,
finish, and appearance, with the finest
heavy, high karat, solid gold cases.
Buy the Ladd, and you will buy the
best and cheapest in the end.
All genuine Gases of our manufac-
ture have Ladd's patents, with dates,
stamped on the side-band, underneath
the glass bezel. Refuse all others.

The Bible is being more and more
preached from the pulpit; the people are
becoming more and more interested in
the Bible; the men who are most in de-
mand to fill the pulpits in city, town, vii.
lage and country churches are those who
preach the word in its simplicity and
power. A biblical pulpit will procure a
biblical church, and so there will be less
discord, more harmony, less sin, more ho-
illness and glorious spiritual achievements
in the year to come.

NOVEMBER SONG.

When the fields are ripe and yellow,
When the leaves are shruDk and sere,
II thy thoughts are mild and mellow,
Sing, and praise the fading year;
II thy heart Is full OF groaning,
II thine eyes are near TO weep,
vex not Nature with thy moaning,
When she folds her robe to sleep.
All things have their times and seasons,
Naught that lives from change is free;
God is wise: and for good reasons
Birth and growth and death must be.
All things find their fitting places,
High and low, and great and small,
Kings and peoples, creeds and races,
In the wonder Of the All.
Art thou youDg-be bold and daring,
Flap thy wing. and spur thy pace,
Fruitful labor never sparing,
Where spade may find place.
Art thou od--in quiet corner
Live from frettul labor free,
Wise with faithful hand to garner
LIES rich frutage stored for thee.
And when death comes, ugly spectre,
Spare thy hand the fruitless blow;
Bow thy head; the great Director,
Wisely willing, willed It so.
Death must be- and in the keeping
OF harsh frost all life must lie,
Till God shall please to rouse from sleeping
All from God that may not die
