THE LWELIEsT KIND OF A FAIR.
Second Day at the Topsham show-Josie
Campbell Enters the Charmed Circle.

Notwithstanding the lateness of the
mingly in financial matters. The opening
days receipts were about 81 ,000-the
largest they ever had for the first day
and with the fine weather and large at
tendance yesterday they run up into
thousand figures for the treasury.
1t was the liveliest fair of the season
yesterday. All the fakirs, showmen and
hawl1ers generally who follow the fairs
had swarmed at Topsham. They made
things lively and the crowd enjoyed the
fun.
Great interest was exhibited by the
farmers in the trial of strength of the
oxen. The contest went on with no
punishment of cattle, and without pro-
family. The premiums won were: Oxen

bury, There were probably eight thous-
and people upon the grounds. The
Brunswick band entertained them with
excellent music.
In the first heat of the 2.33 class, Josie
Campbell, with the pole, went away at a
rattling pace, taking a long lead and
holding it throughout the heat and plac-
ing herself within the charmed circle
of the standard list, making the mile
with ease and coming home in pace in

cENTERvILLE's SENSATION. -
Jurors Do Not Believe Geo. M. White An
Abusive Man.

MAcHIAs, October IA verdict has
just been rendered here for the defend
ent in the civil suit against Geo. M.
White. White lives on a farm which
was decided to him by VIM. p. Ingersoll,
man over 80 years old, the conditions
being that Ingersoll and his wife should
be supported by White. When Mrs.
Ingersoll died last winter, there
were reports that she had
been poisoned and her body was exhumed.
Chemical analysis showed no traces
of poison, however. Then the civil
suit to recover possession of the farm
to Ingersoll was begun, it being
alleged that the old people
had been neglected and abused by White
and his wife. The verdict is hailed with
Joy by Whites friends The parties live
in Centerville, where the affair has caused
intense local interest.

New YORK, October 12.-Hon. James
G. Blaine arrived this afternoon from
Bar Harbor, and took a train Immediate
ly for Ophir farm. Hon. Whitelaw Reid
whose guest he is, met him at the sta
ton and accompanied him to the coun-
try. 1t is understood that he makes a
visit of several days at least. During
his stay he is likely to meet, either at
Ophir Farm or in New York, a number
of leading Republicans and give what
aid he can in the canvass.
He was seen by United Press re-
porter at Ophir fa1m. He was looking
we'll though it was evident he had been
considerably tried by the journey from
Bar Harbor. His figure was erect, his
eyes bright, the pallor of his face not so
marked as on his last visit to New York.
His voice was strong, his handshake
firm. Mr.. Blaine expresseda a disinclina-

pleasant smile, II am not worth being in

NEW YORK, October 12.-With the
firing of the guns at Fort Columbus at
minutes after o'clock this morning
was ushered in the day of celebration of
the 4OOth anniversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus. AS the boom of
the cannon sounded over the water, it
was taken up and repeated by the salutes
of cannon stationed in seven different
parts of the city and the firing was kept
I'D until the national salute of 40 guns
had been fired. The pipe of shrill
steamboat whistle ives heard across the
bay and in moment every steam whistle
in the North and East rivers was blowing
and the racket was continued for several
minutes. Then the sweet tones of the
church bells were heard and the soft
notes of the chimes rang out far, clear
and mellow in the city and on the harbors.
They were the notes of praise and noise
of celebration.
AS early as s o'clock the troops began
to assemble at the Battery, and when
Trinity chimed 10 o'clock all was in
readiness for the start. Amidst the loud
roar of the drums and the enthusiastic
cheers of the people, Grand Commander
in-chief Major Gen. Martin McMahone
gave the order march and the host
Began Its Triumpha1 March
through the streets of the city.
Broadway was literally packed with
people. 1t seemed that there was not
room for even one more from the battery
to Fourth street. Men, women and
children were crowded in SO closely that
it was impossible to get across
the street. Never was such crowd seen
in any American city before. There
were millions in it. 1t is impossible to
adequately speak of the demonstration
without seeming to indulge in hyperbole.
ssSeas of human faces" and other hack
neyed forms of speech only feebly por-
tray the immense outpouring of people.
Every point in the four long miles of
march seethed with human beings as
thickly packed as ants on an ant hill.
Marshal Mcmahon and his brilliant
staff were worthy of the day and the oc-
casion. The artillery and the United
States troops. which followed, marched
like regulars, as they were, but even
they, accustomed as they were to public
displays, seemed to partake somewhat Of
the general exhilaration and moved with
cheerfulness in keeping with the rest.
The blue-jackets of the navy enjoyed it
also.
New York's gallant national guard,
fresh from their services at Buffalo, es-
corting General Snowden and the Penn
sylvania troops who had such arduous
duties at Homestead, could exchange
stirring "reminiscences. The familiar

neighboring states of Connecticut and
New Jersey. Governor Pattison, whose
devotion to the national guard of his

skyward to fictitious values and causing
