Tia's Of Speed.

The Fair Is over. After q week marked
by everything that makes success succeed,
the third annual Fair and Exposition came
to a successful close lest evening. 1t was
q big thing-big in the exhibit and big In
the crowds in attendance. It was q h7s
sffair-fne in the management and fine in
the general results, and to say that every

though weary, and he remarked: "'Hough
said. We did we'll" Superintendent
Campbell does not go into ecstacy, but is
much pleased. Directors EGley, Men

Laucts.
THE CROWD
was not as large as Fridays, as most OF the
COMMUNICATIONS had gone home, butthere
were still many thousands on the ground,
most Of them from our own city and the
immediate vicinity. The ladies turned out
in force and the race track Enclosure was
fairly alive with pretty damsels and gor'
gsons dresses. The best and in fact the
uly event of yesterday was the racing, q
detailed account Of which is appended.

some fellow ran up against him snd said,
Go into the other car" Tolbert said he
was going into the smoking car and the
fellow crowded past him and went on into
the second coach mt disappeared. No
sooner had he gone than Tolbert noticed
that his breeches pocket, where his money
was, was turned wrong side out, and the
money gone. He says he had t35 In bills
rolled up in q piece Of paper, and did not
carry any pocketbook. As soon ~ he
disco rered his lvss he started after the man
but did rot find him. One young man was
suspected and taken In charge by some OF
Tolbert's friends and searched. but nothing

h Howe Sewing Machine Compsuy's
Exhibit,

One OF the very hnest displays OF sewing
Machines and general sewing machine
work ever made in the State was that OF
the Howe Sewing Machine ~Company's,
who richly merit the awards received by
them. Their booth was one of the most
prominent in the Main Exposition Build
ing, occupying q corner space near the
Fountain. The floor was covered with a
handsome Brussels carpet and enclosed by
a railing.
The most prominent feature of their eX-
tibit and the most universally admired
article in the building" was the large,
handsome and most elegantly dressed Doll,
enclosed in IN immense glass case, seated
at and running a new High Arm Howe
Machine.
The Doll was much larger than many OF
its fair visitors who thronged the passage
ways during the entire Fair, eager to watch
the baby sewing
The case was Carpeted aud curtained to
represent u room; the fitting of same, rs
we'll as a greater portion OF the many hand
some samples exhibited, was the work OF
one Of the Wheeling Office ladies, Miss
Lucy Yahrling," to whose untiring efforts
much of the complete success of the ex.
hibit is attributed. The carpet was OF
light pink merino," elegantly quilted and
braided in handsome designs, "Araslne'
being used for the purpose; the little lady
was dressed in a dreamed colored brocade
silk" deliberately made and showing to
good advantage the fine work OF The New
Howe Machine.
A small Tuerk Motor rendered necessary
assistance in running the machine in the
case, as well as one on the floor.
The sample case contained many fine
/, snecimens Of work, comprising embroid-
cry, tucking, shirring, rnfiiing, binding,
bemmlng, &c, prominent among which
was a very handsome white silk cloak,
braided in a most intricate pattern and
finely executed; several pin.cushions
quilted and embroidered, two very fine
PLAQUES, one "a sprig Of leaves and moss
rose buds" embroidered in chenille
md without the use oil any attachment,
the Chenille being run direct from the ma.
| chiEe. The COMPANY distributed many
tine cards and circulars. Misses Yahrling
md Long presided at the machines and
acre kept busy embroidering small buds
and leaves on cards, which were in great
| Il, mgnd.
Several handsome machines were exhib-
tied in the booth.
The company were awarded "A Silver
Medal for points of excellence IN their
new machine, and first premium for "prsc-
| teal sewing machine work, comprising
hemming, braiding, tucking, %rutiling, fell
ing, binding, etc.
The Howe has long been a leading ma
chine in this vicinity and is growing in
popularity every day. The samples and
in fact the entire exhibit will be removed
TO their handsome salesroom, No. IS,
Twelfth street, where all are cordially in
yiled to call and examine.

>urIr rise party, Friday evening, by a num-
Der of her friends at Frsnzheim's hall.

for the occasion, were handed around
among the thirsty dancers at II O'Clock and
quickly gotten away with. Mayors full
