There was some great constitutional

AS has been remarked, the display in

some respects excel any before exhibited.
The horticultural and floral display are
centres OF greater interest than at any
previous fair. Machinery hall is, az
usual, thronged all day. In the upper
hall is a small engine made by HazIIett
Freeze, a South Wheeling youth, which
Is worthy OF attention. =
Yesterday was cut flower day, and
rarely beautiful display was seen in
horticultural hall. The flowers will re-.
main throughout the two days left Of the
fair. -
In the Main Building the display OF
school work is worthy, not only Of in.
spection, but OF study. The art work ia
unusually creditable. The work hy
amateurs is OF q high character. Miss
Edith Wilkinson's sketches and studies
arc very artistic and show talent. The
Misses Doddridge show the work of
number OF pupils, all OF which wilma
much praise. Mrs. Hubbard alno shows
some good work. There arc two pestal
portraits in an odd corner BY Mr.. John

RECIPROCITY win CANADA.
Attorney General LnuElsy GrntlNed with
his Visit 10 YusliinHton.


HALIFAX, N. s., Sept. l0.-Attorney
General Langley arrived home this after.
noon. lie describes his tip to Upper
Canada and tho United States as very
pleasant. He expresses himself as high.
ly pleased with his reception in Mont.
real, Toronto, Niagara, New York and
Washington. ln the course Of an inter.
view he said:
Mr.. Blaine has already declared in
favor Of reciprocity with the States OF
South America and his idea has been
embodied In proposed amendments to
tho Mckinley bill in the Senate. So far
Canada has been entirely ignored and
while both Mr.. Hit and MIR. Butter.
worth have measures before the House
OF Representatives. asking close CONNER
clal intercourse between Canada and tho
United States, it Is very doubtful II
these measures can 30 through both
houses at this late perion OF the session.
But the Mckinley bill Is in % different
position. 1t has passed the House OF
Representatives and Is now passing
through its several stages in the Senate.
IL, therefore, au amendment could be
obtained to this bill by which Canada
would ba included in the scheme OF
reciprocity un enormous point would be
gained and something tangible would
be presented for the consideration Of the
Canadian people. Recognizing the im-
portauce Of the matter, consented to
accompany Mr.. Wiman to Washington,
although confess l had no very great
confidence that anything could be
accomplished at this late stage OF the
session. | have to say, however, that I
found leading men in the Senate and
House Of both political parties most
friendly and pre.disposed rather than
otherwise to extend the principle OF
reciprocity to Canada. There are some
Senators from the New England
States who seem to DO opposed
to it simply in Difference to the
Of some portion Of their
but l scarcely think that
there are any considerable number OF
pnblic men in Washington who are not
in favor Of the principle Of reciprocal
trade between Canada and the United
States. Among other prominent men
with whom had the pleasure OF dis.
cussing this question, was Senator Sher-
man, OF Ohio. He was quite favorable
to the scheme Of reciprocity. l stated
to him how difficult it would be to rely
upon the proposals Of Mr.. Hit or Mr..
Butterworth being sufficiently advanced
before the session closed, and said that
If any amendment Of the kind could be
introduced at the present stage Of the
bill in the Senate there would
be some hope that the Canadian Govern
ment, either the present or some other
Canadian Government, would have some
basis upon which to look forward to the
policy Of complete reciprocity"

WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-The National
crop report for September shows that
the injury to the corn crop reported laat

drouth in August until the rains came to
Its relief, but too late for full recovery.
The average Is 70.l against 1873 last

The returns OF condition of winter
wheat at the timo OF harvesting, arc less
favorable than those OF tho first OF July.
SO far Us tho threshing has progressed
the results are generally disappointing.
The July average, was 753; the present
average 755. The general average OF
spring wheat has also been reduced
from S3.2 to 70S. The average for
wheat Of both kinds is 1876. In 1888,
the September:: average for both wheats
was II. 1t was 73 in 1881. On the

decline has occurred in New York,
Ohio and Illinois. 1t is also late and
variable in development in New York
and Pennsylvania.
The September condition OF oatsis the

Tho Free for nll Spoiled by the Slimness Of
the Starters.
For the free.for.all trot there were but
three starters. Young Stockbridge and
Harry G. Midnight were alternate en-.
tries, and Midnight went. Buck Morgan
was drawn. Kinsman was the favorite
of the book makers, but Viola Clay sold
at long odds in the pools. They got OH
nicely with Viola at the pole. She made
no effort, and came in with ease, Kins.
man a fair second, and both trottiny
slow to let Midnight past the flag. The
heat was naturally without interest. The
time was 2::29l.
When the horses came out for the
second heat there were numerous ex.
pressions that it was a hippodrome, the
only object in going at all being to get
three OF the four monies offered. 1t was
the same thing over-a sort OF a country
road jog trot. A gentleman in the grand
stand remarked, "Thoss horses couldn't
beat the cattle cavalcade." Just at the
finish there was some artificial enthusi.
asm, but no real cause for it. Viola
took the heat IN o:269.
For the third heat fine start was
gotten with the usual effort, and Viola
went to the front and stayed there amid
cries OF Hurry up, Midnight" But as
usual Midnight was late, and it required
some effort to keep from distanciny him.

the time was cut down to 2::25i.
