Sideboard, Buffet, China Closet, Ex-
tenslon-Table, and eight Chairs in
Leather, the whole being set off with
an elegant Dinner-Service from E. b.

Tho Fair-A Novelty.

In my opinion the only real new
thing in all the Piano and Organ ex-
hibits at the State Fair is the Skeleton
Piano, showing the working Of the
Harmonic Fourth String on a Behr
Brothers Upright Piano. The patent is
recent, and there is no other piano con-
tanning it. You should call at my Ex-
hibit and examine it.

The musical exhibits have each year
gained more prominence, until they

The exhibition Of horses is very good.
Sheep and hogs seem to be not so nu-

sufficiently so, and the specimens of all
the leading breeds are first-rate.

products is up to the average ; in few
classes quite above it.

lack, and among the large exhibitors
are the Tanner d Delaney Engine Com

THE FAIRS FIRST DAY.
SUNSHINE AFTER 4 STORM.

Features Of the show-A Grea, Exhibition OF
Catiie-Verv Good Races yesierduy-Pro-
Rramme for To-Day-Tbe Military.
For October nothing could have been
more dismal than the opening-day Of
the Fair. A rain had fallen during the
night, and was still coming down at in
teryals amidst gusts of wind. The
clouds were dark and promised no early
betterment of affairs, and the ground
was wet, the race-track in mud. and
the people connected with the exhibition
quite desperate. The railroad trains car
red out few passengers, and the wa
gons, omnibuses, and carriages found
patrons scarce. Under these dispirit-
ing circumstances the Fair began; but
before noon the Weather Bureau an
nounced the coming of a cold wave,
and over the rooms Of the Chamber Of
Commerce here the white-and-black
flag was run up there was n gradual
fall Of temperature and lulling of the
wind, and between 2 and O'Clock the
clouds rolled by to some extent and
exposed streaks of blue sky. The rest
Of the day was good enough over head,
and rapidly improved under foot.
With continued fair weather the
grounds will be in excellent condition
to-day. There need be no fear of dust.
That is settled.
THE FAIR.
The cattle make the great feature of
this Fair. II there were nothing else on
the grounds they would be worth the
trip there and the gate-fee. And Of
them the IIolsteins stand foremost in
attracting public attention. Messrs.
Smiths, Powell Il Lamb, of New York
Walter f. Grant, Of IIenrico; 7. n.
Loyelock and r. W. Bury, Of Orange,
Va, are the chief exhibitors of them.
These Holsteins are black and white.
and have sleek, silky coats. They are
pretty and valuable. Astonishing
but true-stories are told of their
milk-producing qualities. The cele-
brated New York lawyer. Judge
Fullerton, who owns a farm in
Fairfax. was the first Tor at least one
of the first, to introduce them in Vir-
ginia from their Dutch home.
All the other breeds are here in great
numbers and in fine specimens. To ac-
cOmmodate these lowing herds"
forty-five extra stalls had to be erected
day before yesterday, and now we
have the finest cattle show ever seen
here.

Entering the main building from the
east, the first thing that strikes the
eye is the exhibit of Allen & Ginter.
Here you see cigarettes and smoking
and leaf tobacco in their choicest forms.
Here is the celebrated smoking monkey,
mechanical figure in natty dress,
which places a cigarette in its mouth,
draws it, and pufis out the smoke and
looks around with satisfied air; then
puts on glasses, eyes the crowd through
them, and takes another puff. The
monkey draws well-crowd and cigar
cite.
This lower floor might well be called
music hall, for here Walter d. Moses
IL Co., NJ. b. Ramos, and Ryland &
Lee have large number of pianos and
organs, &c. Many Of the instruments
are of the most exquisite workmanship.
Some one is playing nearly all the time,
and to-day Mr.. Moses will have a con-
cert, with Jardella, Equi, and Danna as
the performers.
On this floor are also number Of
exhibits Of furniture, stoves, crockery,
soaps, sewing-machines, &c.
Upstairs is the hall devoted to la
dies work. Yesterday the judges of
award had possession of it, and its
doors were accordingly closed upon the
public, but those who ought to know
say that "the display Of fancy work
was never so elegant"
That it will be crowded to-day goes
without saying. The room would be
packed were it ten times as large as

THE PONY. RACES.

80 N-f ~ '-s's
Looking westward from the main
building. what seems most to attract
public notice are the "pOny-races."
These are ingenious inventions TO sat
isfy the human appetite for games of
chance. They each represent a race
course. Six or seven ponies are drawn
up together. You are at liberty to
pick out your favorite and to put a
dime or a quarter on him. That done,
the machinery is set in motion; Off the
horses go, and round the track they
dash. When the momentum is lost.
when the horses stop, that one standing
nearest to the wire is the winner. If
you hold his card you get about several
times your investment.
There are number OF these ma
chimes at work. Ready-mouthed ora
tors proclaim their attractions.
The police were eyeing them mighty
hard yesterday, but did not seem to
tindthat they were quite covered by the
gaming law.
ART.
In the art building are large num-
Der Of pictures, &C.; chiefly the pro-
duclions of amateurs. Miss Adale
Williams (who is but seventeen years
Of age exhibits, among ether things, a
very creditable crayon portrait of DR..
Minnigerode, taken from daguerrotype
of date 1876.
There are in this room full-sized OIL
portrait of General Fitz Lee in uniform
and crayOn Of DR.. IIoge.
A rather new feature here is dis
play Of stuffed birds. There are two
exhibitors-Mr. j. Storck, Of Rich
mond, and j. b. Underhill, of Fork
Union, Va. The formers birds are very
bright specimens, chiefly from tropical
lands the latter's are all Virginia
birds, from Fluvanna county.
SOME MANUFACTURERS.
In the miscellaneous building"
west of the art building, are some ex-
hibits Of Richmond manufacturers that
do credit to the city and indicate what
grand Fair we could have if all the
manufacturers could but see that it is to
their interest to send forth such sam
Piles of their work.
Here w. +. Simons & Brother have
q display of account and blank-books
that truly deserve the word magnid-
