THE HARDEN FIRE GRENADE.

THE HARDEN FIRE GRENADE.
Dr. A. M. Alexander concluded his fire tab
leaux yesterday with grand conflagration in
the race-traek incosure. He again, as on the
previous day, when the blaze was at the highest
and fiercest point charged the flames with
the Harden fire grenades which extinguished
them instantaneously, amid the cheers of the
thousands who were looking on.
FOUR MILLION BRICKS.
That we'll known firm of brick makers, Fletcher
6 Thomas, has again been, as heretofore, one of
the attractions of the fair, treating thousands
of people to practical test of the renowned
Quaker brick machine and their pug-mi1l, which
were both in operation the ground. This
firm has made over 1000, 900 bricks in this city
this year. For three months up to the present
week, they have not missed making "a, 900 bricks
a day. The pug mill is a machine that takes the
clay direct from the bank. tempers, conveys and
| forces the mud directly into the machine. This
treatment is a saving of from So. so to S. day
IN labor-an actual cash saving In their own
| yard by means of pug mill, they are enabled
to make 900 more bricks day than ever before
and of a far better quality During the extreme
dry weather just past, it would have been next
| to impossible to have made bricks without dry

THE EUREKA DRAIN TILE MACHINE
Was exhibited by the inventors and makers,
Chandler g. Taylor, of this city, with their latest
improvements in dies, which are so far in ad-
vance of any heretofore used as to create new
interest in tile made on the plunger machines.
These dies entirely remove the only objection
ever urged against tile made on the plunger
mill, roughness of outside surface, and now
Chandler & Taylor bring forward this Lubrcat-
| ing Dye, which leaves the surface as smooth as
those made on an auger mill, and will do so with
| clay in that soft condition so necessary to the
production of sound and durable tile This i'm
provement makes the using of the Eureka ex-
ceedingly profitable to the tile manufacturer.
Tiles can be made with less power, less outlay
for first cost of machinery, and less expense in
| operating the machinery. Send for circular to

INTERESTING TO sAw-MIIL MEN
Sinker, Davis & Co IS band saw log mill attracts
much notice because of the many points in its
favor In the first place it saves, where steady
saving is DONE about one-fifth or in the neigh
| borhood of three thousand feet of lumber in a
| day. This alone is an, item that certainly must
interest those who have valuable timber
Another point in its favor is the smoothness of
the lumber, there being no ridges, as is usual
| to the coarsely set saws These advantages
alone are sufficient to at bring it into prom
inence and to see the immense throng that was
crowded about the mill while in practical opera
tion many of whom were saw-mill men, was evil
dence that the band saw-mill was an object of
greatest interest and one which will be remem-
bered long after the fair has passed away.
SAWS AND SAW TOOLS.
For twenty seven years E. G. Atkins 6 Co.
have been making their famous saws in this
| city-saws that are known not only all over
this continent, but all over the world-circular,
crosscut, gang and band saws, which are made
| from the best selected caststeel and their own
| special silver steel. This year they present a
new illustrated catalogue and price list, book
of many pages, which they send on application

fine exhibit of what an artistic indianapolis
house can do was shown in the west end of the
main floor of the Exposition. There Whitehead

an exhibit of statuary and monumental work
that received the highest praise from all connos
seurs in sculptural art. The monumental works
