les, but those exhibited were of much
merit There was the average show
in silk and other fancy quilts, fine
needle work, good paintings, fancy
articles too many to mention. The
Peerless Co showed a variety of un-
derwear and wrappers, giving people
some knowledge of the style and
beauty of their goods. There were
rugs, stockings, scarfs, and a large
lot of canned fruit on the other side
of the hall. @. S. Phillips made the
best show in taxidermy and bird and
and animal mounting he has ever
made, and his exhibit was a great at
traction. His deer heads, owls, big
peacock, and small birds was beauti-
full. We saw at the Worlds Fair some of
the great exhibits, but nothing that
was more beautiful or tartily done
than this.
NOTES.
The No. Troy band furnished music
on the last two days and did very
creditable playing. They were led by
Charles Hutchins.
The performance Of the acrobats,
and athletes, the Devene was a
very interesting thing to the large
crowd who saw it. Their feats were
difficult and required strength and
skill. They were gentlemen as we'll
as good performers.
There were several accidents of
quite serious character: Bertha Lo-
throp, ten-year old daughter of E.
Fl. Lothrop, had leg broken by fall
ing from the merry go-round. She
seems to have turned on the seat on
which she sat and to have struck
some person, who corwded up against
the wheel. One bone of her limb was
broken. DR.. Wright was called and
bandaged up the limb and the child
was carried home. She is reported to
be doing well at present. Bulls Bros,
who are running the wheel offer to
pay onehalf the expense that shall
result from the accident. Mrs. j. B.
Freeman, who was on the grounds,
having her two children and Miss
Myra King in the carriage, was quite
seriously hurt, and rendered insensi-
BILE by an overturn of the carriage.
Miss King was badly bruised and
famed; the children were not hurt.
The horse was frightened by the So
called music at one of the side shows,
and ran into the teams near by, doing
considerable damage to the carriage.
Bessie Drenan, daughter of Land
lord Drenan of Irasburgh, was hit on
the head by the ball while watching
the ball game, and quite badly hurt;
Bertha Persons of Barton was also
hit in the face by the ball and had an
eye seriously injured.
On Thursday, while trotting heat
in the 2:45 class, Elmer Robinson of
Barton was compelled to jump from
his sulky on account of the giving out
of the grit to his harness, his horse,
tHappy Coon" getting away from
him. For few minutes there we're
more coons around the grounds than
were needed. The horse ran across
the open ground toward the entrance
gates, smashed up his own sulky and
one other and got outside, where he
had the race all to himself. Fortu
nately no very serious damage was
done.
The attendance the second day ex-
ceeded 5000; on the last day, not
withstanding the rain, there was a
pretty good sized crowd. There was
little disturbance and the grounds
were kept very quiet by Deputies
Miles and Grow and the police force.
The ball game was between the
Danville club, one of the best in Gale
donna county and the Irasburghs, of
Orleans county. The Irasburghs bat
ted hard throughout the game. The
Danville Climb did some clever work in
the field, their left fielder making a
running fly catch, which was perhaps
the prettiest play of the game. The
score was II toI24 in favor of the Iras-
burgh team.
