BUSINESS OF COUNTY FAIR
AHEAD OF RECORD OF THE
THREE PREVIOUS MEET
INGS HELD HERE.
Large Crowd Present, Lively Interest
in Races and Some Excellent
Showings Made by Stockmen-
Premiums Awarded in Number of
Departments Yesterday Afternoon
and Today-Races Are Good.

Yesterday was a record first-day at
the county fair, the receipts for that
day exceeding the receipts OF n oil
the other three first days in the history
of the association. At 2 o'clock it look
ed as though the attendance would be
slim and there was some feeling on the
part of the officers, but their long faces
began to broaden shortly after that
hour. and those who we're not too busy
to take notice found that their visages
were broadening into warm, sunny
smiles, somewhat like the weather.
The grand stand was full, the bleach
ers were full, and there were strings
of people along the tracks on both
sides of these buildings.
Secretaries Had Troubles.
The secretary's office was busy all
the afternoon, and those who had &C.
casion to speak to Assistant Secreta-
ries Joe Mckee and Richard Butler had
to do so in gasps, as the gentlemen mad
no time to listen to full grown n
fences. They sawed wood and left the
crowd to do likewise, except those In
the immediate center of a business
proposition. The trustees were about
the grounds, each busy with his paruc-
ular duty. The horsemen were all the
time at work, the only cool ones being
the track officials, who could look
Town from the dizzy heights OF the
Judges stand and note the passing
show-except when the show was pass
ing under the wire, N then they, too,
sat up and gazed around.
Some stock Judged.
Much of the stock judging was COM
pleted this morning although at noon
the cattle men had not quite complet'
ed their labors. The list of cattle was
a long one and the crowds about the
judges was large and animated. Inc
cattle show is pronounced the best eV-
err made here. The horse men were
pleased at the showing and the horses
themselves seemed to ralize the mean
ing of the blue and red ribbons Win
which their harness was decorated
The prizes were awarded, most every
body thought, in exactly the right
places.
Farmers Being Shown.
In the agricultural hall there was a
considerable addition today by the w
II. Holiday company, which took out
a load of machinery, some wagons and
other things to make an excellent
showing. The company is doing It's
full share. The farmers of the county
are getting much help from the contact
with the best in every line of industry
in tilling the rich soil Of Albany county,
Sales Made At Fair.
There has been much delight In the
excellent showing made by the farm
ers. 1t is a pity, however, that more
do not interest themselves in a display
of the products of their farms. Instead
of the dozen or SO exhibitors there
should be a hundred or two. They reap
benefit. as already several excellen,
sales of stock and produce have beer
made as the result of the exhibition on
the fair grounds. The fair is to ad'
yertise the marvellous of TINS
favored region. but the Will

Other Languages

one may begin the attempts OF free
expression. and thus an independent use
OF the language, with comparatively
small vocabulary. Conscientious reading
and well conducted conversations will
thenquickly enlarge the vocabulary and
develop the faculty of expression. But /
cannot lay too much stress upon the fact
that the free and exact rendering OF ones
own thought In writing is the most effi-
Client exercise I'm acquiring a language. In
mere conversation we are apt TO slip over
difficulties by permitting ourselves vague
ness and inaccuracies OF expression which
would sternly demand correction-and cor
rectlon. too. easily kept In mind-when the
written words look us in the face. To
quicken the efficacy OF this exercise re-
qures, OF course, n teacher able not only
TO pound grammatical rules into the head
OF the pupil but also TO stir up In the
study OF the language n mentally active
interest in the subjects spoken or written
about.-Carl Schurz's "reminiscences in

Weiqbt Before and After

Why is IL that a man does not weigh
a pound or more after eating a pound Of
food than he did before? A little refiec-
tion will readily explain this APPARENT
mystery. During the process OF mastica-
tion. deglutition, etc, certain muscles
are brought into active play Now. IL Is
well established fact in physiology that
the exercise Of any msucle or set of mus
c.es necessitates a temporary waste Of
tissue and that a certain amount of cor
bon is eliminated and passed off during
the course OF a meal This loss. however.
is trining as compared with that OF respi-
ration and .perspiration, both OF which
functions are Increased during the opera
ten of making a meal. The length OF
time one may take TO consume a pouno
OF food makes but little difference in the
losses. If IL be eaten leisurely. there Is
but slight increase OF respiration or
perspiration, whereas II 1t be hurried
through both are abnormally accelerated
hence by the time the meal Is finished
the consumer has lost appreciably In both
moisture and carbonic acid. The above
explains in a rough but clear manner why
IL is that q man may eat pound OF food
and yet not weigh but from one-thiro
10 five-eighths OF pound more than he
did before the meal.

How To Keep Cool

One Of the most important bits OF ad-

avoided by forcing ones self TO think OF
some other subject until the mind has

by studying II. For instance, II is curl

James Russell Lowell was great ia
vorite in the literary circles of London.
On one occasion at a large banquet the
peculiarities OF American speeches were
discussed with English bluntness. Lord
s. called to Mr.. Lowell loudly. so as TO
silence all other speakers:
There is one new expression invented
by your countrymen so foolish and vulgar
as to be objectionable. They talk OF the
ashes fthe dead We don't burn
corpses. No Englishman would use q
phrase so absurd"
"And yet," said Mr.. Lowell gently,

dead:
"E'en in our ashes live their wonted
fires
"And in the burial services OF the
church OF England IT is said, Dust 10
dust and ashes to ashes We sin In good
company" A cordial burst of applause
greeted this prompt rejoinder.
