THE FAIR AND CARNIVAL.

At a meeting of the Tri- County Fair
Association Thursday afternoon it was
decided to add several new features to
the Fair. The principal one will be a
Merchants Carnival for the fist day.
The merchants with characteristic en-
terprise readily agreed to prepare floats
for the occasion, and already process
sion fully half mile long has been as
Sured. Following the floats in the line
of march will be long line of private
vehicles deliberately decorated. Prizes
will be offered for the handsomest
double and single turnouts. The line
of march will be over the principal
streets and to the Fair ground to which
every one will be admitted free of
charge,
The association is very anxious to
have q creditable Fair and will leaye
nothing undone that will tend to please
and entertain the immense crowd that
is expected. At the meeting Thursday,
CYL. Lyle was elected Director General
and G. F. Campbell made chief assist
ant. These gentlemen have taken the
matter in hand and if properly sup
ported will make it a success.
The Official program. will be out in a
few days and the assistant marshals
selected for the parade.

A distinction without difference is
that made by republicans who say that
Mr.. Mckinley will not make some
speeches in Ohio, but will probably
make speeches from the rear platform
Of the train upon which he will pass
through Ohio on his coming trip to and
from the west. Itreally looks as though
that trip had been arranged solely for
the purpose of giving Mr.. Mckinley an
opportunity to make some speeches in
Ohio, which he has been assured by
his party managers are very much
needed. He and his party managers
may call them ''rear- platform" or any
other kind Of speeches they please, but
the people will know them for the
stump speeches they will be, and they
will not be inclined to think any more
Of the president of the United States
who is willing to engage in such bust
ness, even to help pull his party out of

Boss Platt has been in Washington,
and it is believed that he tried to make
q deal for the vice presidential nomina-
ton for New Yorker, it being now
pretty generally understood that Mr..
Hobart is to voluntarily" retire, and
that Governor Teddy doesn't want the
nomination. 1t is said that Platt told
Mr.. Mckinley that any man from his
state would please him, but suggested
Senator Depew and Secretary Root as
available men. One of Mr.. Depew's
close friends says that having just Sc
cured full term in the senate, he
would not for amoment thi,k of giving

nomination. Secretary Root might
take it If he could get it.

mittee would wait on Dewey tomorrow
instead of Thursday, and that Dewey
would remain in the anchorage off
Tompkinsville until Friday. Then the
regular reception would take place on
Friday and Saturday, according to the
city's program.
SAW HIM FIRST.
The Sandy Hook steamer Monmouth
passed the Olympia early this morn
ing, and those on board of her were the
first to see Admial Dewey. One of the
Monmouth's passengers said: "We saw
Admiral Dewey quite plainly. He
stood at one of the quarter decks of the
ship. Fifteen feet behind him stood
eight of his officers in uniform. The
Admiral alone of all men on board ship
acknowledged the cheers of the pas
sengers and crew OF the Monmouth.
He raised his hat, continually bowling
and smiling. The ship looked in fine
trim, considering her long voyage, but
the exterior of her hull was scanned
with rusty streaks.
ROAR OF CANNON:
To-day for the first time in many
years an Admiral's salute was fired in
New York Bay. Fort Hancock saluted
with seventeen guns when the Olympia
passed coming in. There was no de-

DEWEY REACHES HOME
Olympia Anchors OF Sandy Hook This
Morning.

New York, Sept. 26.-Much to the
surprise Of everyone in the city, the
Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on
board, arrived off Sandy Hook light
ship at 5;55 this morning. There was
heavy mist on the sea, at first the ma
rine observers we're inclined to think
the vessel sighted might be Rear Ad
miral Howison's flag ship, the Chicago,
hardly believing Dewey would arrive
two days ahead of time. The doubt
was soon cleared away, however, and
as passing vessels recognized the flag
ship from Manila Bay there was con-
tinuous blowing of whistles in salute.
One of the first large vessels to sight
the Olympia was the passenger steamer
Sandy Hook of the Sandy Hook Line,
which left Atlantic Highlands shortly
after Z o'clock for her New York dock,
Just as she got we'll under way, war
vessel was seen through the fog, and
passengers and crew, headed by the
Sandy Hooks Captain. gathered at the
rail to read the newcomers name. To
get near enough to do this, the Sandy
Hook changed her course and headed
directly for the Olympia, blowing her
whistle in salute as she did SO. As
soon as the name was made out, the
Sandy Hooks passengers cheered with
might, and in a few moments answer
ing cheers came over the water from
the warship's sailors, many of whom
were gathered on deck.
ALL ARE WELL.
The flagship came up to the lower
bay and anchored inside Sandy Hook.
As soon as the anchor was dropped, al
orderly was sent ashore with dispatches
from the Admiral and other officers.

Probably he desired to have couple
