SOCIAL MUSICAL EVENT.

Last Friday evening Z. p. Benedict,
Esq, of Bashford. welcomed the Elk
Grove Band and its friends to his fine
residence. The invitations were left to
members of the band, and look over

they carried out their duty pretty well.
The evening was devoted to band, or
chestra and piano music, sociability.

delicious feasts that hungry mortals

,UR Chicago MARKET REpnRT.

CHICAGO, September Is, 1886
This week opened with more activity
in the market. Corn commanded more
attention than it has for some time past,
but provisions take the lead Wheat is
inclined to drag, and taking it all
around this cereal is rather tame. Corn
is more active and stronger with an ac-
tive demand. Oats are fairly active
with prices slightly higher. Rye is dull,
while trading in barley is liberal at
higher prices. Garden produce meets
with the usual inquiry at unchanged
prices. Butter is rather quiet, while
cheese is in better demand at higher
prices. During the last five weeks the
receipts of cattle average almost 5000
per day; trade opened slowly to-day,
and the tendancy of prices is downward,
though further than slight decline on
common range cattle no particular
change has taken place. Hogs are ac-
tive to about the extent of the supply at
an advance of sc per 100 lbs. Sheep
and lambs are active and steady.

IMPROVEMENTS 1.-THE FAIR GROUND
There is promise that our next county
fair will in all respects be the most sue
cessful of any in the history of the So
ciety. II this is not so, it will in no
wise be the fault of the management on
the part of the society, as they have
made great efforts to have the grounds
first-clase in every respect. The main
building, or the ''Art Gallery as it is
better known, has long been too small
for the purpose, and an addition of 16
feet has been built on the north side,
and wing 1Sx24 on the west side,
and the whole building newly sided up.
A floor has been placed in the building
and the art gallery will be surmounted
with cupola and flagstaff in a few
days. A new railing has been placed
around the track on the inside and the
track placed in prime condition for the
races. The spectators seats opposite
the judges stand have been increased
by the addition of % feet of new seats
This is decided improvement and will
now probably accommodate all who
desire seats. The judges and grand
stands and all the buildings have been
newly painted and everything about the
premises indicates good judgment and
careful supervision of the many de-
tails with view of making everything
pleasant for those who may be connect
ed with the fair in the various depart
ments, and fully sustaining in the
opinion of the public at large the pres
4 tige and high estimate placed upon the
previous fairs of the society.
