c.nte Fair is over.

The state Fair is over
..oos into history as one OF the most
,.,pl exhibitions ever given by the
.,ocistion.
GOOD as we ever have here in
ling, the weather almost perfect,
,bs attendance very large. But
IN the history Of the Association
.,ore been Il day when the attend
.oproached that of Thursday, and
as On Thursday of Fair week in
when the people so spontaneously
IN the rescue of a management
med out by the memorable flood
,bat year. Last spring the
.,ds were again terribly damaged
4 s,rb water and the people have
,.n responded to the emergency,
% than making up all losses and
ING the Association in better fnan-
shane than any year since its or
.i,qtion. In consideration Of this
4 directors spoken 70 individually by
REGISTER reporter are very much
favor Of making a number OF great
,pge, and improvements on the
.,o,5s. and it is to be earnestly hoped
..e ideas will be carried out for the
ar Of 1892.
As q matter Of course, much Of the
,,sss of this year has been the
.nIt Of the energy and we'll
-s,ted efforts Of the officers Of the
,,ociation. Secretary George Otte and
|r,sa,urer George Hook have performed
|srculeaa labor in the preparation and
,ragement OF the Fair. No one who
rot attempted to run a State Fair
an have an adequate idea Of the labor,
,-ry. and hardship involved. The
.,tIemen named have gone through
n great task imposed upon them with
-Iit 10 themselves, profit 10
y Association, and satisfaction to the
|bbitOrS and the general public, and
sy are looking forward to some much
eded repOSe, with the consciousness
duty well-performed. To the speed
nmittee, also, much credit is due.

hamilton have been untiring in their
Ia5r,s TO make their department a cred
a5la one, and their success is abun-
Laltly atteSted by the fact there were
rore horses and more good horses in
be stalls aud on the track this year
tau ever before.
May other officers and employees OF
ts Association also deserve credit for
be faithful performance Of their sew
b. duties.
The attendance, yesterday, was very
bod, five or six thousand people visit
f, the grounds. The crowd looked
,at, as cOntraSted with the multitude
Thursday, but il was so far ahead Of
laiay of last year, when only about
90 was taken in at the gate, that the
1sgement was more than satisfied.
De- exhibits were all intact, and the
.0uS buildings looked well, and were
Iuwded during the afternoon.
About a quarter after twelve Mr..
David Plattenberg, editor of the Han
trk County Courier, was seized with an
I,ack of heart disease. He was carried
.vr against the west fence, where his
.gter clothing was removed, and he
gas attended by couple of physicians,
.hcer LukeES being dispatched in
lyebnine'S buggy for medicine, while
.OunteerS chafed his arms and limbs
BAD famed him, and Chief of Police
Ie.brugge, and Constable Lauchlin and
.,berS kept the crowd back. In about
il hour he recovered sufficiently to be
paced in a carriage and taken to the
'esdeuce Of Supt. w. I'll. Anderson.
There was a nOticeably large turn
'gt Of carriages during the races, the
Led being well filled. The grand stand
50 had as high as $500 people In it.
