The sun came out much wanner th.is morning and at this writing in dications are that the crowd to-day will be m u ch larger. The amount of premiums this yeaT are larger than they have ever been before, and everything goesi to show that tltis, the forty-first annual exhibi tion, will take the lead of any of the previous meetings. Some of tbe people who were in attendance yesterday w e re, provided with over coats, shawls and gloves, which proved very comfortable >o those who had been thoughtful enough to bring them. T h e fore part o f the day was taken up by the officers and exhibitors in placing cattle, sheep and other entries which had not al ready arrived in place for inspec tion, During the day perfect order vras maintained and but one drunk en man was seen on the ground. Qur space to day will not allow us to give an extended report of «^hat was to be seen, but to say the , least the display was laige a.nd at tractive. We shall endeavor, how-: e-ver, to notice in to-morrow's issue the different articles on exhibition ' that will be omitted to day. Before entering Floral Ball the first things that attract attention are two large tents which nave been erected by Mr. Nelson Bf'gue, the nurseryman. In these two tents there is a splendid shov.- of Iruit, plants and flowers whicla are con spicuous not only for extent, variety a.nd quality, but lor the tasteful manner in which they are arranged. Although the display in Tloral H all was not as extensive as that o f last year, there were many special ex hibits which are well worth going to see,. A t the right of the hall upon entering, the first things to be seen were; several old relics, exhibited by Miss Hattie Cone; among the most prominent of these curiosities were four sets of China dishes three gen erations p ld, a set of silver spoons which wefe given to Hannah itch- ell as part of a wedding gift as far back as 1794, and a powder horn »31 ypars old, Next ca.me the dis play of American and foreign coins, made by L. C. Siuby cf Attica; this attracted a great deaL of attention and is well worth looking at. C. S 3 . Bosworth, the shoe *dealei, oc cupied the next space with a fine assortment of his goods, his show case containing all sorts oi fine work, was greatly admired by the ladies, and reflects a stood1 deal ■1 > credit on Mr. A. E. Brown, who arranged it. Alderman & Hosmer are there with the “ Yes” tooth powder; also Sha.w & Stiles, the druggists, with •quite an array of goods. T F. 'Woodward, another of our popular sho-e dealers, comes next with his anitual display which also causes con siderable comment from the fe- raaie portion present. On the north sicfe of the hall ta begin with is a splendid display o f canned iruit, put up by Mrs. Frank Cross; there was also many specimens of ladies’ handiwork, including ¡paint ings, wax-wOrk, embroideries and other articles finely executed by the young ladies which we regret that ■we cannot particularize. Last but not least in the main part of the hall is an exhibition! of pen manship executed iby G, B. Jones of Bergen, the work is nicely done, and we understand Mr. Jones,, as a teacher of penmanship, ism eeting 'with great success wherever he has taught. After the crowd1 had walk ed about all the forenoon soon be f’íd not brine tbeir lunch r.-pa red to Schaffer’s dining hall, where for thirty-five cents they could eat until they were tired. It is estimated that over six hundred people ate dinner there between twelve and two o'clock. AFTERNOON EXERCISES 1 lie fiist thing en the program in the afternoon was the performance on the trapeze and tight rope by the A-llen Brothers, with which the aud ience were highly pleased. After this performance came the races, ; though not very exciting, everybody w^as anxious to secure a good posi- ’ tion near the track where they could get a fair view. The first race was for three year olds, and Jimmy, Lady Dell and Ingelow were the only three horses entered. In drawing for p sitions Jimmy got the pole, and won the race in two heats. The following is the summary: Jimmy ....................................i. i. Lady Dell, .............................. 2. 2. Ins;elow, ................................. 3. 3. Time: 3:17, 3:24. The band then followed with a ««lecuun which wasrendered unusu ally well. The County horses were then call ed on but owing to Mohawk Maid's driver, who persisted in driving a.round the track every time they scored, they were quite a while in getting started. He was reprimand ed for his slowness, and after scor ing once more the horses came down: the course in a ittie better manner, 1 a.nd were given the send off. Three heats were trotted, Mr. Trutnbtill Cary's horse Lightfoot, winning every heat, as the following summary will show: Mohawk Maid, .................. 4. 3. 3. Billf VVilmarth, .............. 2. 2. 2. Lightfoot, ......................... i. I. 1.

After half an hour had been taken up in filling it with hot air, ¡ the word was given, and the balloon ist shot up into the air with the ra pidity of a rocket. He performed a Few evolutions at a h eighth of 250 feet on the trapeze and afterwards descended into a patch of woods east of the fair grounds. This closed the ¡»port for the day and the people who had become satisfied, started lor home. To-day is the last day of the fair, the weather is much pleas anter and every one seems to be having a good time. X e s t & r M a n a g e m e n t A s k e d F o r . The Western Church, an Episco pal paper published at Milwaukee, has the following and much more to say in its issue of the r ith inst., regarding DeVeaux College, near Suspension Bridge: “ His (Bishop Coxe's) financial skill and organizing power are need ed to save what remains of Samuel D e Veaux’s noble legacy, more than one-third of which has been wasted by reckless extravagance and ridiculous mismanagement, as shown by published reports, in the vain attempt to build up a fashionable school to gratify ambition, while it robs the orphan of the bounty of his deceased benefactor.\ New Shop. I would respectfully call the atten tion of the readers of this paper to the fact that my new shop in the rear o f Kenyons’ Grocery is open, and I am now prepared to do all sorts of blacksmithing at the lowest living rates. I thank my customers for their past' patronage, and as many new ones as are disposed to give me a call. 85-tf W illiam D oyle . -------- ------------- S pecial bargains in Boots and Shoes during fair week at Yates’ 78 Main street, sign of the red boot, tf -------- *-♦> -------- PST Advertise in the Daily News.

The following complimentary no tice of the Boston Meal XJncle T o m ’s Company, that is to appear here Tuesday evening, September 28th; is taken from to-day’s Buffalo Ex press; “ If there is a play that seems never to wear out its popularity it is “ Un cle Tom ’s Cabin.”- We need not enter into the why and wherefore, but the fact asserts itself that “ Uncle Tom” always draws and always in terests those drawn, The play was produced last evening at St. James Hall by the Boston Ideal “ Uncle Tom ” Company, and at t heir hands had a veiv satisfactory representa tion. The hall contained a large audience, who manifestly derived much enjoyment from the perform ance, as was attested by the frequent and hearty applause. The company as a whole is a very good one, and seldom have we seen the play presented in so effective 1 manner, Mias Blanche Slader is a capital Topsy. She has evidently mtadea study of the grotesque young ster, and her way of playing the part will compare favorably with that oF any who have attempted it. Mr. John Harvey as Uncle Tom is like wise exi.elvn\ and Mr. J B. How ard is equally good in the charociu's» of Phineas Fletcher and Gumption Cute. Little Pansy gives a charm ing Eva, Mr. Reed as St. Clair , Mr, Smith as Maths, Mr. Hartwell as George Harris , Miss Inne Stan ley as Eliza Harris, and Miss Ada Can non as Aunt Ophelm , all acquit them selves with marked credit, while the other ladies and gentlemen included in the cast were to be commended for the care they .gi^ve to their re spective parts.” T h e P r e s i d e n t S * i C a l i f o r n i a .
