In agricultural implementr the dis
play was fine and TIE machines were
constantly surrounded by interested
parties. The principal exhibitors
were Arthur McHardy, c. S. Will
Jams, P. ]. Bryan of these we note
as follows Arthur McHardy had
fine collection of some of the goods
sold by him, consisting of Phatons,
Thinkers, Dexters, Queen and side
spring buggies, and Lansing wagons,
Wood & Mccormick binders, reap
ers and mowers, Casaday riding pillow,

Milburn hollow-axle wagon, Kalama-
zoo cutter, Ypsilanti corn shelter.
1t is also worthy of note that the
machinery on the grounds was run
this year for the first time by steam
power.
The display of fruits, cereals and
garden vegetables was exceedingly
fine. Ths entries in this department
were numerous and many of the ex-
hibits fine to look at. Time and
space both forbid any notice of indi-
vidual exhibitors, but where all were
so good there is no occasion to
specially commend any one exhibit.
Walter A. Osborn exhibited his
newly patented "Trip Gear for Har.
vester Rakes." that being a new and
apparently valuable addition to the
harvesting machinery, and the in.
vention of citizen of Owosso, at.
tracted much attention.
H. M. Martin made a fine dis.
play of harness manufactured at his
shop. And there were other exhlbi.
tors in this line whose names we did
not learn.
Among the miscellaneous exhibits
was specimen of old fashion linen
goods exhibited by Mrs. G.. N.
Roberts, to which was attached this
note: "Spun by myself and sister,
wove by my mother" And another,
by Mrs. G. Hubbard, to which was at
tached this note "This quilt was
made and quilted by lady 81 years
of age, taken to a fair in the state oil
New York, received Ist premium,
and then sent to her son, Mr.. c. Hib'
bard, as present" 1t was indeed a
nice specimen Of patchwork.
There is much more we would like
to add concerning the fair and the
exhibits, but with the following note
of the races, we are compelled tc

tered Short Horns, one pair of twin
calves bull and heifer, that were extra
fine animals, not easily beaten any
where.
Seward Chaffee, of Byron, placed
on exhibition 9 head of Short Horns,
fine animals, most or all of them pure
bred, but whether registered we
did not learn, that were worthy of
the attention Of breeders.
Besides these there were a good
many pure-bred and grade Short
Horn cattle on the grounds that were
fine animals and merited and re-
ceived the favorable notice of the
crowd in attendance, but of which
we were not able to get any special
information.
B. B. Hardy, of Bennington, placed
on exhibition herd of Holsteins, a
COW 4 years old, imported by B. B.
Lord, of St. Clairville, N, Y, a calf
months old that weighed GA lbs,
and yearling bull that was beauty,
which turned the scales at 1904 lbs.
The weight of the COW was 1880 lbs.
They were all very fine animals.
G.. Freeman had on the grounds a
yoke of oxen said to girt over IN it,.
finely p,oportioned animals. And
there were several other yoke OF
good oxen on the grounds, but we
think none that excelled those of Mr..
Freeman.
E. L. Brewer exhibited some
"grade' Short Horns that to our eye
had the appearance of being pure
bred and which were fine animals.
w. A. Woodland exhibited a fine
grade calf that merited the attention
it attracted.
A grade Galloway bull, the proper.
ty of S. B. Bugbee, years old
which weighed 1,aoo lbs. was very
generally praised by the stock breed
ers, who were not interested in thor
ough breeds, and which was truly a
fine animal.
Frank Weidman exhibited S head
of Short Horns, of which were pure
bred.
There were several entries in the
Jerseys Green & Sherman, of Scio'
ia, exhibited pure bred, unregistered
yearling bull, and good calf. Both
good animals.
T. J. Monkey exhibited "Shiawas.
see Chief" a registered animal, wei
bred, and which made a good show
ing both in his class and in the
sweepstakes.
N. G. Philips, of Bancroft, exhibi
ted pair of registered Jerseys thai
were fine animals, commanded
much admiration and of which he
may justly be proud.
THE TINES Printing Company ex
hibited "Syringa's Yokum," No. g.,
$40, as fine yearling as one often
sees and which took I'd premium al
the state fair against bull for which
5000 was paid, and some 10 others
thought to be fine animals. Also g
registered Jersey bull calf, "Kathrilla':
Yokum," No. 1888, a son of the
above and fine calf.
E. M. Jordan placed on exhibition
a two year old unregistered Jer'
sey heifer, that was fine animal.
There was also fine exhibition o
pure bred swine, by c. Hubbard &
Son, E. M. Jordan, Seward Chaffee
A. K. Hartshorn, c. M. Braddock
and others, but, of which, at thi.

eighteen examples of female loveliness

tional pastime. A practice game was
played in New York this week, before
several thousand spectators, in which,
in five innings, the Brunettes defeated
the Blondes by score OF 48 to 90. One
of the features of the entertainment was
the coaching done by the crowd-when
a girl made three strikes they insisted
on her making home run every time,
and the girl always did. Some of them
were encouraged to run around the
bases twice in the excitement of the
moment, and one girl was pursued out
into left field and over a fence, behind
the grounds, by the second basewoman,
who desired to touch her with the ball.
The two came back by the front gate.
BY all means we must have this show
in St. Louis; it seems to me that it
must be even funnier than Keene's
"Hamlet." ..
