GRAND CAKE wALkAr The FAIR
Open 10 the wide World..No Entrance
Fes.-Every Body will be there
to see IL

d d a g. -
Among the various attractions TO b.
seen at the Clarksburg Fair will be q
grand cake walk. The committee on
entertainment has decided to offer
$50 cash In premiums to be awarded to
the star performers. The performance
will take place on the track in front Of
the amphitheater where every one can
see and admire. Every body under
the sun is accorded the privilege 70
participate, as the contest is open to
the world. This will make the enter.
tainment especially pleasing and at.
tractiye, as various nationalitiesi
classes and conditions Of mankind will
likely take part, but the contest will
be orderly and scientific, and none
need hesitate to enter.
There Is no one feature so attractive
as this contemplated cake walk con.
test and the public may feel assured Of
beholding the grandest and most gor.
geous performance OF the kind ever
witnessed in West Virginia. While
there have been few exhibitions Of
this sort in the opera house here and
at one or two other places, the people
generally have but little idea of what
a cake walk is, presented in scientific
and modernized fashion, and should
the aggregation in the cake walk at
the Fair not be altogether scienced
and familiar with the turns, the con.
test will prove all the more interesting
and amusing. Along this line it is
safe to predict plenty Of real fun and
innumerable laughable Incidents. So
far as costumes are concerned 1t will
be a panorama, spectacular and brill
liant, fit to inspire the poets soul to
supremest ecstasy.
Every body has an opportunity to be
in it. There is no entrance fee, but
all participants must obtain an entry
card, which Mr.. F. B. Haymaker, Of
the entertainment committee, will
take pleasure in giving to all who APP
ply to him for cards.
Every man, woman and child will
want to see this grand Innovation In
the amusements at the big Harrison
County Fair and an assemblage Of
people never before gathered in such
great numbers In this county will
surely be there.
The audience will be Judges of the
contest.

VIVA. GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS


Prof, W. T. Lyon, of Portland, Ore
gon, is spending some time here, col
lecting fossil plants for the Ward Nat
ural Science establishment, of Roch-
ester, New York. Prof. Lyon. former
" filed the chair Of geology Of the
oregon State University and Is q
geologist Of note. he tells us that
Harrison and adjoining counties have
the distinction Of being the only region
in the United States, save small
county in Texas, where the Permiam
geological formation has been discov-
cred, and Prof. /. c. White Of the
university and Prof. Fountaine, for
merly connected with that institution,
were the discoverers in 1879. This
formation consists of ferns. palms,
lycopods, cycads and SO on, and isfound
in the roof slate above the coal.
The first geological report of this
state was published by the board Of
regents OF the university In 1872, 800
copies being issued. They are very
valuable now. Although very small
pamphlets, they are worth $50 a piece
to-day.
Geologist Lyon says Prof. Whites
geological work has done more to bring
our State university into national
prominence than the labors Of any one
y,on In TVact VIRGINIA
Mr.. Lyon has already quite collec-
ton OF fossils gathered along the West
Fork and Monongahela rivers. His
establishment has many orders from
foreign countries for these plants.
