two excellent and much needed build
ings of the fair grounds, for the ac-
commodation and display of stock. The
first is 90 feet by 3d. with IL foot alley
thru the center, and is large enough to
accommodate forty-eight head of
horses. and cattle. The second is 4s feet
by IS with a s foot alley in the center
and is intended for the display of
sheep and hogs. Both buildings are
much nearer the center of the grounds
than the old buildings We're, greatly
to the convenience of those who want
to see the fine stock.

At the adjourned meeting of the
farmers interested in the formation of

with the Incorporation. The committee
previously appointed to prepare consti-

could devise nothing more nearly per-

the Gilman Elevator Company, and
they were therefore, with the necessary

New York, June 29.-Mrs Robert II.
Burnham, of Reno, New, and several
friends went to the Hotel Aston for
afternoon tea. The party were ass
signed to a table by the head waitexl
and nice-looking young waiter waA
directed to take their order.
AS the waiter came across the room
Mrs. Burnhana thought she recognized
something familiar about the manner
in which he walked, but, as he wore a
mustache, French fashion, and sheht
imperial, She was not at all certain
that she had seen him before. II the
waiter recognized her he failed to give
an sign of it as he approached the
table and stood, book in hand, to take
the order. But when Mrs. Burnham got
a good look at him she recognized In
him her son, who had left home several
been received since.
Young Burnham had come east to
seek his fortune in Wall street. He
had been plentdfully supplied with
money by indulgent parents. and for a
time he lived a gay life. He wrote
home with some regularity at first.
then his letters became fewer and
fewer. until they ceased entirely.
With the end of his money went the
last of his friends. Finally a waiter
who had served him many expensive.
suppers in a restaurant near Broad.s
way, obtained a place for him at the
Hotel Astor. Pride kept him from let
ting his family know what he was
doing +.
