ANOTHER GREAT DAY.
THURSDAYS EVENTS AT THE
FAIR GROUNDS.
The Attendance Continues to In
crease Each Day--Interesting
Races Please the Crowd

Bright, clear skies, brilliant sun.
shine and clouds of binding dust con.
tinued the unbroken order of the day
up to Thursday evening. The at
tendance at the grounds at 2 O'Clock
this, Thursday afternoon, exceeds by
several hundred the unusually large
crowd of Wednesday. Many strange
faces are to be seen among the crowd,
which throngs the grand stand daily,
showing that the expected visitors
from abroad had already begun to ar
rive in appreciably large numbers.
The events of the afternoon were the
racing programme and the competi-
tive military drill, in which companies
from this city and Hope, Ark, were
the contestants. The prize Of $500
for The best drill was awarded to the
gallant Hampstead Rifles. Both COM
panies acquitted themselves credita-
bly, and gracefully, showing despite
their youthfulness and lack of long
and severe military training, high
order of military talent and every evil
dence of close training and earnest
endeavor. Especially is this true of
ihe Texarkana Rifles, which is made
up of our youths, and has only been
in existence since re-organization--a
few months.
The races yesterday were fairly
good, but failedi to arouse the same
general enthusiasm as did those of
Wednesday. The following races
were contested:
FIRST RACE.
800 trot, mile heats, best 3 in 3;
purse $500.
Entries
Trindy, Victor Hugo, Racer J.
Macy, Caskett.
Won by Racer, with Caskett second.
All others distanced. Time by heats
-2:37t, 1861, 2:353, 2:36s and 2:44,
SECOND RACE.
Running, one-half mile heats, best 2
in 3; purse $3.50.
Entries
Leta H., Dick, Black Daisy, King
George, G. W., Big John.
Won by Big John in two consecu-
tive heats, Leta H., second and Dick
third. Time-;494 and 80. In this race
much confusion was occasioned by an
announcement from the judges stand
that Black Daisy had been ordered
from the race track to her stable for
Improper enJry.
Owing to the fact that the first heat
had been a tie between Big John and
Black Daisy, many people supposed
that the race would be declared off, or
at least postponed until final action
was taken. Owing to this error
many Of the small bets on the stand
were drawn and portion of the
crowd left for home before the last
heat was contested. This makes
Big John the king of the track SO far
rs this meet is concerned, his preform-
ances having in fact never been
equalled on the local track, he having
been entered every day of the week
and winning every race he was enter
ed in.

Farm Notes,


There seems to be strange lunacy
in the minds of great many farmers
in regard to feeding COWS liberally,
says Hoard's Dairyman. They will
feed hog well even if feed is ever
so high, for they will say, I'VE can't
expect to get anything for the pork
if it is not fit for market That is
all sound sense, They will keep
their horses in good working eondi-
tion, for the spring work must be
done. All true, but when it comes
to cows that seems to be another
thing As square proposition no
dairyman can afford to let a herd of
good COWS get in u low condition.
He not only robs himself of chance
for present gain but he seriously Grip
plies his future.
1t is just this constant tendency to
hold penny so close to the eye that
a golden eagle cannot be seen on the
other side of it, that cuts the sand
from under the feet of the average
dairyman. If we look around we can
see everywhere evidence enough to
satisfy a reasonable man as to the
best policy to pursue, In all places
it is the liberal feeder who makes the
most money His skeptical neighbor
will say; Il can't see how he does
it; he pays so much for feed New
ertheless he does it. There has not
been a day the past year that feed
has been so high but what a dairy
man with a COW that would yield
three-fourths to pound of butter q
day, could richly afford to give her
all she could economically con
sumo. The trouble with the men
who talk differently is that not one
in II thousand has any figures to show
for their belief. They have nothing
but mere guesswork to stand on.

Has a Craze for Timepieces.

William w. Kenyon, says the Eagle,
Of Brooklyn, owns number of time
pieces. He is a connoisseur and au-
thority on ancient and modern watches
of the most complicated and excellent
construction. One in his possession is
q musical watch which tells the time
of day, day of the week, days of the
month, and is calculator of the
moons phases and also repeats the
hours, quarter half and three-quarter
minutes, besides playing number of
airs. He purchased it in Europe. He
is also great adept in the clock
makers art, which is proven by the
great and diversified variety of clocks
in his house Colonel Burleigh,
another distinguished Brooklynite, is
the owner of several watches. one of
which is very historic. 1t once be-
longed to Marquis de Lafayette and
bears his coat-of-arms. 1t was pre-
sented by Lafayette to Edmund Ruffin,
of Virginia, the father of General
Ruffin, who fired the first shot from
Fort Moultrie ON Fort Sumter during
the late civil war. When the soldiers
entered the old Ruflin homestead in
Virginia the watch was found by
member of the seventeenth New York
volunteers, who sold it to Colonel
Burleigh for $15, when it was sent to
Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war,
who returned it to its present owner.

NIAGARA NOT YET UTILIZED.


The twentieth century Is about to
dawn on the world and still Niagara
Falls have not been utilized" This
is one of the disappointments of
science. The hope was born about
fifty years ago that the Niagara water
power could be made useful to the
whole Yankee nation. When it be-
came known that electricity could be
made means for the transmission of
mechanical power, and when it was
well established that mechanical power
was easily transmissable into electric
ity the conclusion was hastily jumped
at that great center like Niagara was
also to become the center of industrial
power. That n great mistake has been
made is proved by the fact that Mag
ara and other great waterfalls still con-
tinue in n state of nature, unused by
the cunning of man. There is much
talk even in this year of 1892 to the
same effect, and the newspapers are
telling the wonderful things that Mag
ara Falls are going to do, The Detroit
NeteS thinks it is safe to say that Mag
ara and all other greater water powers
of the world will continue to waste
their strength as they have done in
the past. The hope of a wide ditfu-
sion of mechanical power by means of
electricity lies in II fundamental mis-
conception of the laws of electricity.
The common idea is that electricity's
first law is that of running, as water
runs down hill. On the contrary cleo
tricity is as sluggish ms water and has
to be forced from one place to another.
Iha tIan te TINT IL ~,
electricity on copper wire it will at
once start of and never stop until it is
intercepted by some uncongenial ole-
ments. The majority of people think
that if the falls of Niagara would only
convert their power into electricity
that electrical energy could be tapped
from Maine to Texas, as if it were a
reservoir in the clouds. Not so. Elec-
tricity has to be pumped from one
place to another by the expenditure of
power
The difficulty of getting electricity
from Niagara to New York city is the
same as getting water from Cairo to
the heart of the Sahara. Theoretically
both are possible; practically the ma
chinery does not exist to perform the
work. An electrical dynamo is
pump. 1t performs only the work
that it has the strength to perform. If
overstrained it breaks, bursts or burns
out. Let us hear no more of the utili-
zation of Niagara Falls for the diffu-
sion of mechanical energy. The thing
is impracticable. 1t takes power to
transmit power. When the gun is in
vented that can withstand the strain
of shooting a bullet around the world
the time will have come to hope for a
dynamo that will shoot electricity
from Niagara Falls to San Francisco.

We have used within the last few
years good deal of potash in con-
nection with the trees in our or
chard, usually buying it by the cask
for this purpose. We simply break
the potash into small pieces not
larger than egg size, using about
eight pounds to an average sized
tree, scattering it upon the ground
about the tree in a circle extending
halfway from the trunk to the ex-
tremity of the branches. When this
is done in the autumn or early spring
the rains and snow dissolve the pot
ash which will be absorbed and
spread through the soil, thus bring
ing the fertilizing properties directly
to the small roots of the trees, with
out the slightest injury to the vege
tation. The future crops will show
remarkable results, both in quantity
and quality of the fruit.
