SYRACUSE, Sept. 10.-When Senator De-
new was here on Monday he discussed with
ex.Leut Gov. Timothy l.. Woodruff some
matters Of a sooial-political character. the
exact nature Of which is irrelevant to this
aneodote. One suggestion which the Sena-
tor made, however, resulted in Mr.. Wood
run getting up right early this morning.
That point the Senator approached with
typical diplomacy.
-You young fellows of to-day like to lie
abed mornings" said the Senator. when
YOU'RE old you'll want to rise early 80 that
YOU can crowd as much life as possible into
each day"
"0h, getting up is easy after you're once
awake said Mr.. Woodruff. "It's shaking
the sleep off at first that's hard shan't
mind it at all, Senator, il the bellboy gets
me thoroughly awake
Il will see that you are called" said the
Senator. That will be all right"
naturally suspicious person might have
seen CLINT q fun in the Senator's eye.
Mr.. Woodruff isn't suspicious. He hurried
away with great things in mind for the State
Fair. As every one knows, the railroads
run right through the heart Of Syracuse,
passing almost under the caves Of all the
principal hotels.
This morning. as the sun was at its early
ohore of sweeping the blue mists away
from the hills around the city, New York
Central passenger train halted beside the
Yates Hotel Suddenly from its whistle
came wall as il all the lost souls since the
discovery of the salt ticks had pitched their
sorrows into the one screech. The big
tongued bell Changed and cloud Of steam
went from the discharge valves. Heads
showed at the windows, bearded faces OF
Changers and feminine faces above bits Of
night gowns threaded with baby ribbon.
Leaning out of the cab window the en-
gineer watched these faces until he spied
a very sleepy man in Nile green pajamas.
Then he yelled:
Mr.. Woodruff" The man in the pa amas
nodded. Senator Depew's compliments
and it's 8 O'CLOCK" said the engineer, and
opening the throttle he sped on.
Ticket sellers in New York who think
they have troubles should take a course
here. When you go to the railroad station
to get ticket to the State Fair. including
admission to the grounds, you ask the man:
DO save anything by buying a round
trip ticket7 Would ticket be good TO-
morrow? II 1t aims, do you give us tickets
to come in on tomorrow? What is the
charge for the side shows? Where's good
place to get supper? Do you know where
! could get some laundry done up to-day?
time is there train back to Clyde?"
One Of the evening diversions at the
hotels is to stand around the lobby and
observe the coming Of the traveller who
doesn't know what the State Fair means
to Syracuse. He puts his name on the
register and says: e! want nice outside
room. with bath, not above the third floor"
And the clerk says: Il think l can take
care Of you before midnight. We've got
four men in room on the fifth and one Of
them's going away, or would you rather
have cot in the hallf"
Mr.. Woodruff received word from New
Yord this afternoon that Sir Thomas Upton

Earl and Countess Of Shaftesbury, Col.
and Mrs. Sharman-C Commodore

A parade Of all the coaches and drags
here at the horse show will meet the visitors
at the station. Mr.. Woodruff will drive

on the seat with him. The other guests
will be distributed Iamong the smaller
coaches. The visitors will 60 direct to the
the clubhouse, and then to box in the

that his time will be divided between the

Of vegetables all these will be there for

which fifty guests have been asked. A
special car has been provided. which will

night, to take the party to Mr.. Woodruff s
Ramp Kill Kare in the Adirondacks.
Although the programme was less at
tractive to-day. the races drew full as many
people as yesterday. f. E. Smathers
obligingly strolled up. and down in front of
the grand stand where rusticity might
stare open-mouthed at him. What was
lacking in the trotting programme was
filed out by tandem race and coaching
exhibition on the main track The women's
class for saddlers was in high favor with
the big crowd Mrs w. E. HOFFMAN of
New York carried of the blue ribbon
1t is now estimated that the gate receipts
have paid all the expenses Of the fair and
that s25 900 will be turned into the State
treasury, which may enable the fair to get
larger appropriation from the Legislature
next winter for new buildings and other
improvements.
To-day was veterans day at the fair
and the first meeting of the Iron Brigade,
the Twenty-fourth Regiment of New York
Volunteers, since the war was held Will
