Trenton. Sept. y CSpeciaD.-The Interstate Fair
opens tomorrow To-day the greatest confusion
regnod at the grounds ana on the numerous side
tracks running into the grounds Everything was
topsy-turvey at o'clock in the morning and was
only beginning shape itself at noon. but by
night there was sign Of order. The exhibitors
from nearly every city. town and village In the
State. and from many other States. declare that
they will have their space in the big exhibition
buildings filled with their wares by tomorrow
morning.
At the railroad sidngs the scene this morning
WAS well worth Witnessing Here unloaded the
live stock and the freaks for the various side
shows. The fattest hog in the world and the Nv
Ing skeleton came down the gangplank from the
same There was sharp breeze, and, strange
to say. the hog covered with warm blanket.
while the living skeleton wore long linen duster.
The petrified man and the human pn-cushions. ihe
fat girl Of thirteen" years and the bewhskered
lady followed the living skeleton and the hog.
These fag ends of humanity seated amid the made
to-orler freaks and curiosites. shivering while
awaiting the erection Of their tent. were conclusive
proof that the life of the average freak is not a
happy one.
Trainload after tranload Of live stock arrived
al the grounds to-day. Hundreds of premium
herds which have been entered have not yet ar
rived and already the live stock buildings are near
" filled. The building for the fowl will be well
worth n visit this year The number has almost
been doubled over that Of last year. and every
known species will be- exhibited.
The horses entered for the races number about
two hundred. The prizes this year are larger than
last year.
