The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1884-09-30

lolled about lazily waiting an opportunity
to get home between the showers while out
in the arena the Indians of the Wild
West combination huddled together In
silence, the rain washing the red war paint
in sireaks down their ia es giving them q
c!ufesque and tatoosd apes rance only
equallsd by Puck's picture of Blaine, while
Capt. Fargo, the manager stood with folded
arms, his fierce moustache viii ed down and
far away LOOK in his eyes as if he was
wishing he were a thousand miles of on
the n away II in where ii never rained.
The tame negro whom the indians carry
along to kill about forty times a day, for
pas:ime lay with his head near the fire, on
which simmered coffee pot ard was, 20
all appearance. as dead as he will ever be,
so soundly did he sleep.
INTHE HALLS.
Nearly all the exhibitors were gone down
town and their beautiful dis olays
looked lonely and deserted though
about a few of them fingered groups Of
visitors, who, despite the gloomy weather,
found pee sure aud enjoyment in examining
| their wonderful mechanism. Especially
was the care at The he headquarters of the
HOUSEHOLD SEWING MACHINE,
the beautiful portrait of a young girl
enlarged from the photo which accom-
panies it being the chief att-sction, as we'll
it mig ht be. The picture is if $ re mount
ed in splendid gilt frame, sni is made
entirely on the machine. Yet every line,
shade, feature and liz eament are rs perfe CT as
The MT ST finished oil portrait ever painted.
The hair is of silk three the exact color
of life, and fails in a beautiful mass over
the shoulders while the dress of real lace,
also manufactured on the machine, gives TO
the whole figure = realistic appearance i'm
possible TO initiate with paint. 1t is in
deed a most wonderful production,
and ttken in conjunction with
the many other beautiful produc ions
of this m-chine on exhibition with
it stamp it at once as superior to sny ma
chine ever made, and an acme of perfection
never dreamed of by the most enthusiastic
inventor before.
AT THE DOMESTIC
machine there was also quite a crowd scan
ming the many beautiful displays, includ-
ing a portrait In imitation of pen work
which must be seen to be appreciated, as
no description could convey an idea Of its
beauty and perfection.
departments of G. C. & ]. C. Mclaughlin
and Stephens & Richey Bros, was also a
great attraction, espec;al on a rainy,
stormy day, VIXEN one feels so like throw
ing themselves into the soft luxurisnt en-
brace of the chilly cushioned sofas and
chairs, and with tie aid Of a good
box speeding the hours Of gloom aud
moisture away.
THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT
was also attractive, but the players were
gone, and b'yond looking at the numerous
instruments and the advantage
for close inspection afforded by
the slimness OF the crowd, there
was nothing of special interest. In the
needle-work department there are many
beautiful specimens for surprising those
of any previous exhibition, but as the
AWARDS have not yet been made ii would
not be proper to specify them.
AT THE OTHER HALLS
there was scarcely any one to be found,
every thing having come to stsnd-still. 1t
Is to be hoped, however, that fair weather
to-day and for next week will permit the
progress of the fair and give to the thou

portunity to do So, ss ii is without doubt
far superior in every respect to any previ-
Gus fair eve held in Central Missouri, and
il would MT only be unfortunate for those
who fail to see it and learn how vast our
resources ADD how rapidly they are being
developed, but it would be doubly unfortu-
nate for the gentlemsnly managers of the
Fair assoc alton, who have spent SO much
time, labor and money in endeavor-
| ing to serve their patrons
and advance the interes's and
from OF this section OF the state should
they be compelled TO suffer severe fnan-
cisl loss for their enterprise and pluck.
They Rave labored hard and earnestly, not
so much for any profit to th m, because few
fairs more than pay KIP nsss, but because
| they have an interest In the welfare and
the advancement of the community in
which they live, and they are not. only de-
serving OF a liberal patronage end success
but of the gratitude of every citizen be-
cause their labors under airy condition
must rebound more TO The public good than
their own individu Al gain aud their fsiiure
because of the weather or from any olher
source prove spublic calsmity, and it is to
be hoped Mondsy and Tuesday of next
week will prove such gala DAYS as will en-
able them to fully recover from the severe
losses caused by the rains of the present
week.
