The County Fair.

Among The domestic animals whose
improvement by breeding adds to the
prosperity and wealth of tie county the
horse perhaps stands first in order,
enjoyment of life is quite another thing
Among animal commercial produce the

next, those OF TIE hog; " ne! her the pro.

able. That the value OF the country S
whole stock of horses exceeds that of any
other one animal does not dispose of the
question. The avails annuity realized
from he animals produce must first be
capitalized before comparison could be
made in this way.
Or corresponding step might be taken
by ascertainiug the cash value of all The
colts produced, the net annual hire value
of adult animals, after deducting depreci
alton, and then comparing the sum of
these with the net values produced by
other creatures. Further, it wants to tie

pockets in exchange .or amusement. TIE
element of the comparison determining
the relative values OF the horse and other
creatures are tar from simple, AMI in tine
a solution Of the question is IA matter Of
obvious moment.
The prominence of racing and of trot-
ing matches before the public eye masks
the relative importance OF breeding in
other fields. The procession of mee;iu 9
dIverts attention from the real significance
OF the county fair. The trials Of speed
at these shows consti tute a feature
entirely dispToportionate to the relative
Importance of the various interests such
institutions promote. Not that these
trials ought to be diminished, much less
dispensed with. Their attractiyeness is
essential to the success of the show. But
the real end subserved by the fairs is
liable to be obscured in the dust OF fl .sh-
ing hoofs and whirling wheels.
Yet there is probably not herd of
COWS, flock of sheep, or a sly OF swine
in the county but can trace The better
part of its value to-day directly to the
county fair. Il is there that the farmers
lean to covet the prizs animal, aud meets
the irrestiable temptation to buy him or
his worthy, though unsuccessful, compati
tor. Emulation is minor factor ia the
transaction. Few men make their first
purchase of this sort with any view of
breeding prize animals. That ambition
is awakened later, after possession of vel !
bred beasts has widened the owner
horizon. The county fair exercises the
same sort of educative influence in al
other directions. Partly man is shamed
out of his ruts, but in the main he EN-
barks in the better course in obedience
to IF interest that has needed only
the enlightenment needful to discern it.

Departure of the Boys in Blue FOR Their
Annual Encampment.

Departure of the Boys in Blue FOR Their
Annual Encampment.
From an early hour yesterday morning
until late last night the various armories of
the National Guard in this city were the
scenes of considerable hustle incident to
the start for the annual encampment of the
guardsmen. Out of the seeming confusion
order quickly grew as the hour approached
for the departure of the several regiments.
The veterans of the gallant First lu-
fantry. commanded by the popular young
colonel, William Z. Sullivan Jr., marched
out OF the Market-street armory shortly
after p. NJ. and as they proceeded to the
ferry connecting with the narrow-gauge
train they earned the encomlums of the
populace by their soldierly carriage and
splendid appearance. They left on the 2:15
r. NJ boat and were accompanied by the
division commander, Maior-General w. II.
DmOnd, and staff, and Brigadier-G General
John Il. Dickinson with his staff.
An hour later the Second Artillery Regi-
ment. Colonel William Macdonald, started
from the Cough street aTmOry and took the
2:15 train. The Third Infantry was the last
to leave, the start from the city not being
effected until S:15 o'clock. All of the heavy
baggage was forwarded the previous day,
and the Light Battery and Hussars, with
their horses and equipments, went down
yesterday morning.

George j. Smith is now happy-that Is, as
much so as 1t is possible for man TO be
who is manned, crippled and disabled for
life.
His suit against Whittier, Fuller & Co.
has been finally concluded and settled by
the payment of the damages awarded to him
by jury in Judge Leyy's department on
October 9, 1883.
This case was one of the most remarkable
ever tried in this State, and in some respects
attracted attention throughout the. entire
country. 1t was mainly remarkable for the
following reasons:
First, for the asperity, vigor and feeling
with which 1t was both prosecuted and de-
Tended; second. for the length of time
necessitated by the delays of the law that
elapsed from the time OF its commencement
until its termination; third, for the large
amount Of the judgment, and fourth for the
fact that it was the first suit Of any note for
an accident in an elevator tried in the

NOT ENOUGH SPACE.
New South Wales Complains Of the Worlds
Fair Management


NEW YORK, Aug. Sir George Dibbs,
the Premier of New South Wales, arrived
here to-day and feels bitter toward the man
agement of the Worlds Fair According to
him the exhibit Of New South Wales, which
is almost the only one of the English col
onies that intends TO exhibit, promises to be
failure. He said the Chicago managers
sent out an agent promising anything
wanted in the way Of accommodations.
After we had committed ourselves and
spent about 100000" said he, they told
US the agent was without authority and that
we could not have space at all adequate TO
our wants. The result will be that it Will
practically ruin our exhibit. Our exhibit
Will be largely in raw materials The
trouble is they are like American raw ma
terals and Will make no particular showing
separately. We wanted to make our ex-
hibit collectively. To classify it will only
be to weaken it. We wanted a collective
exhibit; but the fair arrangements do not
allow Of focusing. and without that can
not see what advantage there is in the col
cny's exhibit at all. If we had learned at
first what we have since learned we would
not have exhibited at all. We have gone
too FAR to go out now"
