VERY BRIGHT PROSPECTS
For the State Fair this Year-The Outlook
ut this Date,


An IxTELLIeENcER man yesterday
asked Secretary George Hook: "What
are you doing in regard to the Great
West Virginia State Fair and the Expo
sition of the resources OF the State?'
1--WE have up to the present date
twenty-five counties who will make a
grand exhibit OF their resources and are
taking u great interest to avail themselves
of this opportunity to show TO the world
what resources they have in their re-
spective counties. The livestock exhibit
will be larger than last year, for we have
received more entries and assigned u
larger number of stalls and pens, for
class horses, cattle, sheep and swine,
than we had up to the same date last
year.
1--WE will also have the finest and
largest display OF machinery that we
ever had, judging from the applications
already in for space. For instance, al
ready in the exposition building for
merchants and manufactures, one-half
of the space has been taken.
III lllC llllG ull ullu GllllulClA Q htHN v
ments there will be no end of exhibits.
Over one-half Of the wall space has been
assigned. We contemplate rearranging
this department SO that every article on
exhibition can be seen togood advantage.
1.-THE horticultural 'md floral hall
building has been rearranged, and with
the prospects Of fine exhibit will make
one OF the finest buildings on the
grounds.
"The speed races will be grand. We
have ut present nine horses entered in
the Wheeling stakes for foals OF 1886,
owned by T. A. Miller, Bancroft, Pa;
II. II. Welles, 0reide, W. Va; Harrie g..
johnson, Clarksburg, W. Va; j. A.
Quay, Morganza, Pa; ]. L. Roberts Il
Son, Moundsville, W. Va; Greer Bros,
Cannonsburg, Pa; Ross Stout, Craig
more, W. Va; J. II. Welles, Bridgeport,
W. Va; G. P. Brown, Wheeling; and
the other nine races do not close until
August 20. The prospects are that the
races OF 1888 will have more horses en-
tered and will be the best races that we
have ever had on our grounds"

THE DRIVING ASSOCIATION.
Its Second Meeting on the state Fa

Its Second Meeting on the State Fair
|, Grounds Yesterday Afternoon.
The second race meeting OF the Cen
tlemen's Driving Association took place
on the State Fair Associations track
yesterday afternoon, despite the rain in
the morning, a heavy track and the
threatening aspect of the weather. Had
it not been for the rain that fell about
noon and that threatened to fall about
the time the races were called, the at
tendance would probably have been
quite large. AS it was, there was quite
gathering OF the members and their
friends, including several ladies.
The Judges were Ex-Sheriff Cochran,
of Beliaire, Mr.. John NJ. Sweeney, Mr..
Phil Kimberly and Mr.. Williams OF st.
Evansville. The track, as before stated,
was heavy, preventing the making OF
anything like fast time, but the time
that was made was exceptionally good.
For the first race there were three en-
tries, as follows: Andrew Hamilton's
"Lady g." Hon. n. u. Scott's "Belle"
and A. ]. Sweeney's "Billy r." Under
the rules OF the Association the horses
were driven by their owners to sulkies
or road carts. The race was taken in
two straight heats by Mr.. Hamilton in
1853 and $50. Mr.. Sweeney was second
each time and Mr.. Scott third.
For the second race the entries were
''Harry," by Harrison Dunlevy; "Don
w." by Mr.. Albert Whitaker, and
"Phil H." Councilman Charlie Davis.
Mr.. Davis took this race in two straights
in 3:l7 and 3:l4. Mr.. Whitaker was
second each time.
Hon. n. B. SCOTS new gray. horse,
George" was driven an exhibition heat
of mile by Mr.. A. N. Spellman in an
effort to beat 2:30. Owing to the heavy
track the handsome animal was unable
TO make better than 2:45. There was a
running race announced on the pro-
gramme, half-mile dash, to be run by
Speidel's "Clip" and Paxton's "Spurt,
but the track was SO slippery 1t was not
deemed best to let them go.
Considerable interest is taken in the
Association, and this interest is increas,
ing with these meetings. Several addi-
tons have been made to the member.

The Arion Society continued its Sum,
mcrndchtJcst that was partly interrupted
by rain at the State Fair grounds Thurs
day night, at its club house on the South
Side last night. During the early por'
ton of the evening the building was
comfortably filled with members, but by
midnight the younger ones were in sole
possession, the older ones having gone
home soon after supper was served. The
young people passed the time very
pleasantly dancing to Killmyer's music.
Early in the evening the result OF the
vote for May Queen was announced as
follows: Miss Amelia Sowders, 2l5; Miss
Annie Hess, 1877; Miss Amelia schwert'
fcger, 1877. Prof. G. A. Schaeter was call.
ed on to crown Miss Sowders Queen and
the other ladies as her maids, which he
did very calamity.

wood X. of Il. Trouble.

The ISTELuGESoER has been permit
ted to read letter from prominent
railroad contractor Of New York, re-
Gently received by the officials Of the
Wheeling, Wellsburg & State Line Rail-
way Company, stated April 10. After
asking for n general description of the
line, grades, including cost Of construc-
ton, population, amount OF business,
ETC., the following general proposition
is made:
81 could, the circumstances in your
part OF the country being favorable, Or
ganize construction company for the
purpose here in New York, and sell
your securities and thus build your
road"
The necessity, therefore, for prompt
action on the part OF the people desiring
the construction OF this road is apparent.
The company is powerless to secure the
money to build it, unless the directors
are encouraged by those interested in
contributing the local aid absolutely re-
quired before capital will invest in the
securities. The Indications OF the re-
sumption OF work on the South Pennsyl-
yania road as well us the Ohio roads and
the bridge at Wheeling SHOULD stimulate
all interested to put their shoulder to
the wheel.
In this connection the following from
the New York Commercial Bulletin shows
that interest in the road has extended
to the Metropolis:
According to well informed parties,
the prospects are frightening for the
construction OF the Wheeling, Wells
burg & State Line railroad in Pennsyl-
vania. The survey OF the route has
been completed and the directors con-
template a trip over the same at an early
date. Negotiations are now in progress
between syndicate composed of New
York and Philadelphia houses and the
managers of the enterprise for the sale
OF the bonds. Ii an agreement as to
price is reached actual construction will
not be long delayed.
