The County Fair.
m An1t A

The County Fair.
! The 28th Annual Exhibition of the
Hunterdon County Agricultural Society,
which closed on Thursday, was most
creditably arranged in all its details.
The managers are to be praised for the
success attributable to their untiring
efforts. On Monday morning lrizzling
rain storm set in at an early hour and
lasting all day many feared that it would
prove unfavorable weather for the Fair,
but with the dawn of Tuesday clear sky
spred DER us and signs most propitious
prevailed, pleasant breeze dried up the
mud and cheer filled many n heart and
all looked forward to big crowds ON
Wednesday and Thursday. The attend
ance on Tuesday was nothing to brag of.
On Wednesday large number were
present upon the grounds, but Thursday
was the grand day of all in the point of
abundance. 1t having been previously
announced that Hon. Leon Albeit,
nominee for Governor, would be present
this day large crowd was assembled TO
sec him.
In our stroll through the Main Build
ding our eyes caught sight of many ar
tieles which we would like to speak of in q
more particular manner than we can +.
The handwork in every department was
excellent. The fruit was very fine. In
the line of vegetables our attention was
particularly drawn toward the numerous
varieties of potatoes, and their size, some
weighing p pounds. The stove display
was good. Being an admirer of fine
carriages and harness, we examined the
exhibits of the several gentlemen who
had carriages there. We would like to
speak Of these individually as to the gem
eral makeup, etc., but space will not al
low lis but to say that the display was
fine and any one wanting good carriage
could not go amiss in selecting any from
the lot. Exhibitors were Messers. Cregar,
of Clinton; Swarer, of Reaville: Meyers,
of Cokesbury, and Quinn & Green, OF
Pennington.
In the harness line Mr.. T.. w. Hunger.
OF Pennington, exhibited three sets of
harness that pleased us very much, es.
pecially the set rubber mounted. We
noticed many articles on exhibition which
were worthy of notice. The display of
machinery was very good, both in its
character and variety. In this depart.
ment we found each owner busy explain
ing the advantages that his had over the
Others. Oar monument and head stone
dealers were represented by Mesers. J.
Fl. Murphy with his Rocktown granite,
ETC., and Van Dorn's d. Gano with their
monuments. f.. l.. Roth had samples of
slate gate posts, etc. There We patent
! gates also. b
The trotting was good in general.

RINGoEs, N. j., Oct. 1, 1888.
The weather was fine and nearly all of
our citizens attended the Fair last week.
The small boy was there, too, which is
evidenced BY the sound of the rubber
whistle, now heard in our village.
The County Fair brought number of
our former townsmen to our village, last
week. They attended the Fair as well as
gave their relatives and friends here a
short visit.
Our esteemed friend, James D. Burk,
of Princeton. N. j., spent Wednesday
night last in our village.
Jacob J. Fisher, Esq, who is in the em-
ploy of the Knickerbocker Ice Co., of
Philadelphia, came up to attend the Fair

with his family in our village. He APP
pears in good health.
f. Fl. v. blackwell. Of Scranton, Pa,

week. He was at the Fair for couple
of days. He is still engaged in the iron
works at Scranton and reports business
and health as both being good. He is
looking fine.

Our Photographic artist seems to re-
ceive plenty of work from our people.
His work meets with general satisfaction
and we are glad to report that he is meet
ing with proper success. Since this gal
lery has come into our midst, all of our
village maidens as we'll as the older
''gals, too, have come to the belief that
beauty is certainly a charming feature of
the Ringoes' gentler sex.
We are glad to see in our village DIR.
Edward Blackwell and wife, of New York
City, who have come out to spend week
among their relatives and friends here

The Hunterdon County Fair, at Flem-
ington, is getting played out with Tren-
ton people, very few of whom now attend,
when in former yearscrowds were wont to
go Trenton Daily Emporium.
: The trouble with the Hunterdon Co.
Fair is that it lacks vim in it 1t il
never properly advertised and there ap-
pears to be no effort made to get any new
attractions. What you see one year, you
see every year. If the Directors were to
take a few lessons from the Mount Holly
Fair management. it would be of adj
vantage,

Another Failure.
Master Naylor, of Lambertville. who
was nominated by Congressman Howey
to the Naval Cadetship at Annapolis,
failed to pass the required physical ex-
animation, and that cadetship is again
open. He passed the mental examina-
ton all right, and it seems as though
he was shut ont on comparatively trivial
physical defect. Varicose veins on the
inside of his limbs is the complaint or
threatened one. This, we understand,
consists of an unnatural enlargement of
some Of the veins, but not considered of
much Importance. DIR. Clark, who ex-
amined the young man prior to his APP
pointment, was aware Of the difficulty
but did not think they would be SO
critical as to reject on account of it,
Mr.. Howey was notified to have anoth-
err candidate on hand last Saturday, but
could not do it ON SO short notice. 1t
is not improbable that the Secretary of
the Navy or the President will fill the va
cancy. il they have not already done So
This they sometimes do where there is
great delay in having it filled by the
member of Congress entitled thereto.
There seems to be great difficulty in fill.
ing this and the West Point cadetship.
1t is going on two years since the first
move was made to fill the Naval Cadet
ship, and nothing has been accomplish
ed, though there have been several ex-
aminations and three or four candidates
have been sent on TO Annapolis, who
have been rejected for one reason and
another. II it is not too late, the best
thing for Mr.. Howsy to do is to pick out
some competent youth and ship him on,
and waste no more time with competitive
examinations. He has until next June to
furnish a candidate for West Point, and
we trust there is still eneough left of
Young America in this Congressional
District to produce suitable represen-
tive, who will stand the required men,
tai and physical muster and All up the
gap Phillipsburg Democrat.

The following resolutions were pass
cd at the Council meeting on Monday eve
ming:
WHEREAS, There is now in the treasury
of the city of Lambertville, sufficient
funds from taxes received to pay its
quota of county tax for the current
year although the date fixed by law for
its payment will not transpire for some
months, which the City Treasurer has
offered to pay the County Collector,
asking for rebate upon advance pay
ment of such interest as the County Col
lector is paying bank for moneys Dor
rowed for the use of the county, which
offer is refused for the reason that the
bank under agreement must have the
exclusive privilege of lending money to
the county therefore
Resoiced, That this Council regard this
refusal to accept payment of taxes in sd-i
vance while borrowing money temporari-
" is wrong in principle, because it is the
duty of all public officers to care for and
protect the interests of the people, and
not sacrifice them to tho interests of
moneyed corporations; and unjust be-
cause it fosters moneyed monopolies in
direct opposition TO the interests of the
people and at their expense
Resolved, That this matter be laid be-
fore the Board of Freehoiders at their
next meeting, with the request that they
in justice 70 the city Of Lanbertville as
well as themselves as public officers, or.
der the Collector to accept this said tax
in advance, upon such terms as they are
borrowing from bank and thus borrow
that much less.
Resolced, That the Clerk be directed to
have copy of these resolutions laid be-
fore the County Board of Freeholders at
their next meeting.

To-day and tomorrow the Nirginias will
play the Leader Club, of Kingston, y. Y,
and on the 1st OF September the Wallkills,
OF MiddletOwn, y. Y, which will complete
their northern engagements. While the
trip has no. been successful from financial
point OF view, in other respects it has been
all that could have been desired. The boys
have had a pleasant time during their alb
sence. and have acquitted themselves hand
somely wherever tDev have appeared. In
consequence of the retirrangement OF games
by the Interstate Association clubs the Nir-
cinias could get only one game with the
OuickstepS, OF Wilmington, Del. The
change has also necessitated the naming OF
new dates for the visit Of the latter club
here. Instead OF the 4th and 5th OF Sep
tember. they will play the Nirginias on the
18th, 18th, and 18th.
The Wilmington Del.) Morning Ne,rS,
in speaking Of the game between the
Ouicksteps and Nirginias. says that the
"Ouicksteps evidently thought that they
would have picnic with the Virginia
Club, but they struck Snag and received
a crushing defeat, the visitors outpaylng
and outbqlting them all through 1t also
saws that the Virginia is a strong club, but
that their victory was due to the battery
ferguson and MOrgan), which worked to
neriection. Under the head OF "Notes y
il also says: "The little short hits over The
in-field yesterday by the Richmond clut
seemed TO puzzle and surprise the Quick
step men. while the visiting pitcher had Z
style peculiarly his own, which seemed tC
astonish the natives, as it were."
