OVATION TO BLAINE.

Mr.. Blaine visited New York city
and then took trip west through
the state and it is doubted whether
in the history Of the country any man
ever saw and enjoyed such an ovation.
The following from the Journals cor
respondent will serve to show the
character of the demonstrations
When Albany was reached there was
found the great surprise of the day.
Albany is Cleveland's present home.
The city has reputation of being the
most sluggish and hardest to rouse of
any town in the state. 1t still re-
tains the phlegm of its early Dutch
character. 1t is said that if half of
Albany should be burned down 500
people would not come out of their
houses in the unburned quarters. So
when the train began to cross the
river at Albany every one was sur
prised at the uproar. Every steam
boat whistle on the river, every en-
CINE i'll the railroad yards burst into
Simultaneous chorus or as prelude
to the cheers and yells of the great
crowd, in number fully eight thous-
and people, which packed the Albany
station grounds as they were never
packed before. Not content with
jamming into the neighborhood of the

that the committee appropriated all
the money set TO the ladies depart

gave none too much. The ladies and
others who contributed to this de-
partment are thanked for their effort
to make it creditable.

danger of suffocation. adventurous
enthusiasts risked life and limb in
climbing upon the buildings and high
points in the neigbborhood. Mr..
Blaine at none Of the stations made
any preteLce of trying to shake hands
with any but the few who were admit
ted to his car; but nj Albany he was
fairly overcome by the wild character
Of the enthusiasm and the rush to
personally greet him rs he made his
appearance. The crowd was not con-
tent with an ordinary outburst they
cheered and cheered as though they
had had their training at the Chicago
Convention. They howled with a
perfect rapture of enthusiasm, and
when Mr.. Blaine at last withdrew
they insisted upon his return. They
would have been calling for him yet
if the memorable train dispatcher had
not moved out the train after wait
of twenty-five minutes.
Before the train left the Hon.
Hamilton Harris introduced Mr..
Blaine. who was received with great
cheering, again and again repeated,
SO that he had to stand bowling for
quite a time before he could get a
chance to speak. When order was
restored he said:

THE RACES.

THE RACES.
Thursday was devoted entirely to
horse trotting; and the threatening
weather made the attendance rather |
light, bnt the interest was such that
the larger part of the crowd remained |
till nearly dark. The races were
quite holly contested, especially the
open-to-all race which required seven
heats, several of which were so close
that it was with difficulty that the
judges could make decisions. This
was between 81. F. Pierce's climber
JIM" H. Peck's .sBlack Johnnie
and j. S. Shows est. Jacobs"
I he pacing race was little better than
farce, owing to the fact that one
of tire best PAGERS was kicked and
unable to take his place. The three
minute and two-thirty-eight races
were ca CHI quite sharp, but not excit-
ing. On the whole, many considered
the whole days races as good as was
ever had ON this ground. By pro-
voking accident our record of the
| heats was carried from the office and
| destroyed and we are unable to give
the county race records from the
fact that the book on which the rec
ords were kept cannot be found.
We will try to give these records
next week, with the missing part of
the premium list.
The address to have been given on
Wednesday was lost, on account of
the more important matter of trot,
the throwing off of a horse shoe and
the delays occasioned, taking all the
time till nearly dark. This trot oc-
casioned an accident, the ruling off
of one driver and one horse, and
much dissatisfaction, but it all had
to be endured to crafty few ''hoss'
characters. We are of the opinion
that the whole horse trot business,
except it may be the trotting of
young horses and stations owned in
the county, is a damage to the fair.
The one-hundred dollars spent
Wednesday for this purpose, it seems
, to us might have been spent for a
, much better purpose.
