WEDNESDAYS DoINGs.

Wednesday, the first day of the fair
proper, was everything that could have
been wished in the way of weather. 1t
was clear and bright and warm enough
for comfort without being hot. People
began coming upon the grounds soon
after the gates were opened and the
crowd continued to increase till well into
the afternoon. By that time the throng
was as large as Is often seen here.
The procession from the Addison
House to the grounds arrived shortly
after 10 o'clock. 1t was headed by the
marshals and was made up of the two
bands-the Bristol Military and the
Ladies' COrnet of TicOnderOga. 1t IS a
long time since patrons of the fair have
enjoyed so much and so good music as
they did this year, The Bristol band is
excellent and the Ladies' not only plays
finely, but looks Well--was, in fact, one
of the chief attractions of the fair.
The principal events of the morning
were the exhibitions of the matched and
single drivers and stations on the track
for the inspection of the Judges. The
entries are given above and the premium
list-to be printed IN full next week
will tell the rest.
In the afternoon there were two hOtly-
contested races and two balloon ascen,
sions by Prof. Joseph LaRouY OF Port
land, Me. Two balloons were on the

THE FIRST DAY.

Tuesday was given up wholly to the
making of entries and to the arrange
ment of exhibits, which work was rapid
ly and effectively accomplished by Sec
retary F. c. Dyer, Assistant Secretaries
A. p. Roscoe of New Haven and F.
l.. Hamilton of Salisbury, President IL.
f. Sanford, General Superintendent c.
NJ. Remele and the superintendents OF
the several departments. Few changes
were necessary in the buildings. The
chief addition to the structures was an
annex to the band stand to accommodate
the second band engaged.

A DISCOVERY. G. Dave, while
going through package of miscellane-
Gus matter one day last week, given
him by the late ex-COngreesman n. B.
Smithers, of Delaware, discovered the
memoranda for the drafts of two bills
for the State purchase of slaves in
Delaware, an unsigned letter explain
ing why the first way was preferable.
A comparison of these manuscripts bv
experts with originals and fac-similes
in the office of ''The Century," estab-
fishes the fact that they were written
by Abraham Lincoln. The manu-
scripts are beautifully preserved, writ
ten on Congress foolscap, in the firm
and deliberate hand so characteristic
of the martyred President. PeninSu-
lar NclUS.
Jerry Simpson of Kansas was the
single tax attraction at the Opera
House Wilmington, Sunday evening.
He was greeted with large audience,
which he entertained in his unaffected
way by telling stories and promising
| to abolish poverty by the adoption of
the single tax idea. He told his hear
! ers something they never knew before,
| and do not even know nOw-that four
fifths of the land in this city is not
used. If he and the other single tax
dreamers can prove that the intrOduc-
tiOn of their system here will result in
every foot of ground being used to
| hold houses and manufactures,
that there will be no end of work, that
wages will keep going up all the time,
that the farmers will then sell all their
products at good prices, that wages
and prices will go still higher, and so
on al infnitum- they can prove all
these things everybody will be for sin
gle tax. But they cannot be guaranteed.
