The annual strawberry meeting of the

being held at the fair grounds today.
There is large crowd in attendance,
representatives being present from nearly
every township. The display of berries
is not as large nor as good as upon some
previous years owing to the bad weather,
but some very fine SO uecimens are shown
notwithstanding. No session was held
this forenoon and the meeting was called
to order about l O'clock. President j. A,
Borst OF Graentown was in the chair and
Mrs. 5. o. Eggert of Massillon acted as
secretary. After the reading of the min
utes and the transaction of a few minor
matters OF business the essayist for the
day, Mr.. j. 4. Niesz, was called upon.

in which he stated that the present year
would complete the fourth season when
the apple crop was failure in this yicini-

anything like good yield this year aud
assigned as the reason that the heavy
rains had destroyed and washed away the
pollen necessary to the life of the fruit.
This theory was made the topic of a
running discussion in which over dozen
members participated. There were a few
who said they thought there would be at
least fair crop but the general tone Of
the speeches betokened a rather gloomy
outlook for the lover of apples. The
meeting is one of the best held for some
time by the society. Some handsome
flowers are on exhibition, and everybody
came with well filled baskets prepared to
enjoy the day thoroughly.

The New York delegation was cIipging
this morning to a last desperate hope Of
defeating the nomination OF Cleveland.
They were seeking to unite the opposition
to him on some new candidate and
thought they would succeed. They would
be willing to take Campbell but the ex-
Governor refused to allow his name to be
used. Many of them would be satisfied
with Boies, or Morrison, but the name
most frequently heard in connection with
the possibility of a new combination is
that Of Gen. Slocum of New York. Cor
