TRENTON. Oct. 2. 1s95.-Ten thousand
! children with about as many mothers
| and aunts and uncles, inspected the In
| terstate Fair yesterday and expressed
their appreciation of the great show. The
management of this fair is a liberal one,
and a couple of clothes baskets of free
| school tickets are usually. sent to the
| school children in this part of the State
| and across the river to the children or
| Bucks and Montgomery counties, and it
is a day devoted to toy balloons, picture
cards and free ~buekwheat cakes. 1t IS
| not often that so many young ones are
| seen together. They circulate freely ana
only a few needed the service OF the
| police to again connect them with their
mothers apron strings.
The weather was favorable to- the
windmills and the roasted sausage man.
| The wind was so high at times that the
/ wind wheels went around faster than
| the driving wheels of a double cylinder
| locomotive driving a limited express,
There are a thousand and one fakirs on
| the grounds and all have India rubber
lungs and fog horn voices, but the great
est of all the fakirs is the lamb cider
man, who shouts and sings and blows
| a trumpet with a regular Angel Gabriel
| blast to attract trade. The cane men,
| and 'Knock me down, Dinah" chaps
all had blue noses, but t~heyAsaid they
| could stand it if the people would blow
themselves the rest of the week.

Those who retreated to the grand

inouisitiveness was rewarded by a good
