POINTS:
The hackmen were accommodating and
vo~cifcrous.

be helped.
More drunkenness was noticed than at
any previous Fair.
1t is said that over forty hacks were run
ming on Thursday.
One arrest was made on Wednesday.
Cause, drunk and disorderly.
The morning train Thursday brought q
big crowd Notwithstanding the weather.
We notice the n~oisiest hack drivers are
not the ones that carry the heaviest loads.

As the morning train down reached
Westyille ON Thursday the conductor went
through the ears and announced that no
Fair would be held at Woodstown thai day,
and that all who desired to return to the
city could get on at that station. Only a
few got of.
The scarcity of exhibits from the vicin-
ity of Salem was noticed by many. 1t is
said that the action of the Judges last year,
in ignoring the handsome display of silver
ware made by Wheeler & Son, had a great
deal to do with the want of interest dis
played by the Salem folks.
There Were not accommodations enough
III town Thursday night for those who
wanted to stay all night. The Withdrawal
of special trains was unknown to many till
they landed here, and being here they
could not get away. From indications we
judge more than one party staid ont all
night.

talking about a..fourteeb weeks old colt OF
Smiths, by lndiaman, dam Gertic L.,

of the Estey Organ Company was com
posed of the following persons: Mr., James
Baker, ST., and his three sons. Fred,
James and Walter, and two oornetists,
Mr.. Ed. Hopes and Lewis Ewing. Their
