WORLDS FAIR, 5l.- Spe .,is.. Congressman Hugh A. Dins- more, of Fayetteville, the Adonis oi the Arkansas delegation, arrived this morning on his way to Wash. ington. Like all loyal Arkansans he sought the Arkansas building al once, aad complimented it very highly. He will stay several days at the fair and will reach Washing ton a few days before the conven- ing of congress, August z. Always alive to the best interests of his countrymen, he will be in at the be- ginning of what promises to be one of the most protracted sessions ever held in our legislative halls. He says the fight on the cur rency question will be a most bitter one, but hopes it will result in an ultimate alleyiation of the present strained financial conditions.
 Judge Wood and party, of Hot Springs, who have been here two weeks seeing the fair, start for home to-day.
 Misses Hattie Stoddard, Birdie Mclean and Mai Stark, of Little Rock, arrived today and will re- main about a month.
 Judge and Mrs. Battle, of Little Rock, came this morning and will stay until the first of October.
 MT. Meyer, of Van Bnren, sent a crate of very fine grapes to the Ar kansas building.
 A. J. Crone, of Newport, has placed on exhibition in the Arkan- sas building two very interesting relics. They are two Arkansas treasury warrants, ccuntersigned by L.. B. Cunningham, as treasurer. One is dated October 19, 1863, by which the state of Arkansas promises to pay the bearer $2. The other is n $l0 warrant, dated February 8, 1865. They are printed by J. D. Butler, of Little Rock, on very ordinary paper.
 The Alabama Press Association met at their headquarters, the Ar kansas building, Saturday. It was an informal affair, and the managers of the building rendered it to the visiting editors during their stay. They accepted the courtesy with marked gratitude, the president of the association making a very neat speech. Professor Shinn, with his usual consideration for Arkansas school interests, gave them warm invitation to call around and see our educational exhibit in manufac- lures building, and Mrs. Edgerton, as one of the National Board of Lady Managers, rendered them the freedom of woman's building. They are all we'll pleased with the atten- tions received, and will probably be rendered a reception before they cave.
 A telegram was sent to day to J. c. Cashman, of The Vicksburg Post, president of the Mississippi Press Association, rendering them the use of the Arkansas building in the name of the directory, to be used as their headquarters when they visit the fair, as their state has no build ing They are expected in a week or ten days.
 A number of our visiting Arkan- sans attended reception at the New York state building this afternoon and enjoyed the occasion very much.
