LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


the new Pavilion at $50 P. NJ tomorrow
for the purpose of opening the entries TO
the races which are to take place at the
coming State Fair. Secretary Smith saws
the number of entries is in excess of that
of any former year, and he is confident that
every race has filled. Nearly all the availa-
bic space in the Exposition building has al
ready been taken, and it is altogether prob
able that the machinery display will have
TO be made outside. The concrete founda-
ton for the $50 horsepower engine was
finished Saturday. A concrete tank, 90
feet square and feet deep, to be used in
the exhibition of pumps is being con-
structed. f. F. Woodward will commence
to-day to set the mammoth boilers that
were made by J. A. Cunningham, of this
city. When all the contemplated improve
ments at the Park and Pavilion have been
made, the Society will have expended this
season over $4,000. The Society never had
such facilities as this year At the track
are upwards of 300 horse and 200 cattle stalls.
and from letters received asking for accom-
modations, the Secretary is of the opinion
that they will not have room enough.

ExPERIMENTING.-An uptown grocer a
few days ago received a consignment of
fruit and found that half n dozen or more
army worms were included in the ship
ment. Being of an inquiring turn of mind,
he concluded to try the effect of coal oil
upon the worms. 1t was evident that they
did not like to be near it, and drop upon
each one of the worms killed them in about
4 minute, causing their bodies to bleach
out white. The grocer thinks that a line
made by pouring coal oil around an orchard
or garden will keep the worms out, as the
smell seems to be obnoxious to them. 1t
would not take much oil, and the expense
would be light.
