"Cabriolet" Makes Some Homely Observa tions on tbe People's Exposi tion, Just Closed. lliapler of sierlencesA KemarknMe I'alntini.- The Flying Dutchman The Kaces Fun at the NldeshoM. The count fair has Just closed a success ful annual engagement of four da s, and gone on to the next stand. None of 111 folks took the first premium for pumpkin butter or sunflower marmalade, but I took a deep Interest in the whole thing and 1 am sorr that it Is over and that I cannot follow it on to the next town. The fair wasn't as good as the centennial, but it comes of tener, and you don't have to pa eight dollars and a quarter for the privilege of wearing our ees in an attitude of in- pection. I went to the fair d. L f., as the adver tisements are marked. I wanted to go and meet the bone, sinew and clover seed of our nation. A county fair Is a good place to study human nature, and ou can find it walking on our meek and lowly bunion. or watching the fat cattle In the art needle work department. I was struck ry one thing Immediate! upon entering. That was the gate-keeper, and he struck me for twentvnve cents. 1 first tackled the art hall. I know it was the art hall because the catalogue was tinn on tills point. There was considerable art in the place, but there was considerable more that wasn't. I w ent up stairs to w here the maniac quilts were. I a'.wavs had an inter est In work of this kind I had an auut who had a craz quilt of CI U pieces, all patched together nlcel. and yet her oungest son used to go to school with con sidtrable of his person rubbing directl against the climate She didn t have time to pitch the sunset department of his pants, but after working live earsonthe craz quilt, she got 31 premium at the fair and her name spelt wrong In the paper. The iove or art runs through our entire famil. It runs and does not linger. 1 don't know any more about art than the judges of that department at the county fair. But there wern several pictures at the fair I didn't like. I presume they were painted up b somebody, but there is noth ing in the picture to Indicate who the per son is or li) he didn't take something for his blood. Instead of perpetuating his gen eral debility on a crash towel in a gold frame One of these pictures represented a l ural scene in the countr . In the fore ground w as a large disused tow w ith a sev en benign smile on her face, and evident! a large quantit of milk concealed about her person. The cow was a dark purple, and her bonis were a bright stfron color. Coming up a pink lane, with ajeilow smile on her face, w as a violently blue milk-maid, showing a large collection of speckled ankles and dangling by her side a milk-pail b g enough to indicate that the milk-maid had mistaken the cow for a stand-pipe. The entire cow could have crept Into the pall and never been missel. About this time I met two oung ladies, w horn I knew v ery well and w ho them selves were a good instaneeof Clark count talr. We walked around the grounds to gether and I treated them to Ice cream. candy and sip-corn and took them riding on the flying Dutchman. J. his last w as a pleasant experience, You. pay a nlckl. and sit astride a pale-blue wooden horse, that tits you like a hand me-down and is not comfortable. Then the man starts a live horse going and the horse walks around in a meditative fashion for several minutes during which ou circle around opposite his tail and feel our breakfast commenc ing to wake up to the possibilities of life. Then ou tet off and feel dizzy and attempt to step on our back collar button. 'Ihen ou wonder how much ou have spent during the forenoon, and go into a secluded corner to cast up our accounts. and ever thing else ou ma happen to have in our digestion retort. The trouble aboutatiing Dutchman is that it goes over the same route too much and ou get used to the scener. I staid with the girls for some hours and finally went up to a booth and gave them a milk shake. Not to be out-done tin- gave me the other kind. But 1 didn't care I was tired of them and I wanted to go where I blank pleased, ho I went over to the races. Here is where ou find real excitement at the races of a count fair. The crowd was immense and the people were doing everything thfy could to see. 1 stood up next to a lady from Pike township who had laid her bain on the ground and was standing on It in order to see how the trotting race came out. I put in foot in a man's coat pocket and sprang up on his shoulders to see for in self. He had his legs w rapped around 1 colons! bo's neck and was tolerable com fortable for an old man. I don't know much about horse racing except what I see on the bills. On these, the horse Is usuall reprtS'iited as sending out samples of his hoofs way aheid for the Inspection of the crowd, and with saliva flashing from his ees. None of his hoofs are ever on the ground in the picture, and the horse is evident! entirel independent of the condition of the track. He looks as if his arrival at the spot was clear in ad vance of his approach. Hisdriveris alwas a man with the wind soughing gloomil through his red whiskers and a peaked cap. He his one foot on each side of the horse and is depicted as leaning forward and ex amining the horse's crupper with a look of pained and awe-struck interest. 1 he races at the fair were not an thing like this. Tile afternoon I was there was sient in watching eight police chase two lit tle boS bickvvard and forw ard across the track, and ttie board of managers would kind! till In between times with a heat The trottmg rvce did not amount to much, as all thrio of the horses finished up jut where the started from b the judges stand, ai.d had all that going around the track for nothing. I don't know- how it came out. but I believe that the mare with the sorrel driv er won three heats and a luke warm. One of the city papers spoke next da of the horse winning three stright heats. A paper that w III make this kind of a claim is not tit to go into the fanill circle. I was there and 1 ilaim that there wasn't a straight heat on the entrv books. All the horses went round the ring. I make this remark with unexpected pleasure. But 1 had most of in fun at the side show. A man has a right to go to a side show if he wishes, because this is a freak countr. The first curiosity on exhibition was a man who could blow glass. We have Mies at home who can conduit them selves with a similar degree of novel!. Then there was a part whom the banner outside called Calpta, the Circassian nrincess. I was glad to meet this Iadv. I had seen her before while she was only a common oung person from Hindoostau, who used to stand out in front of the side show with a stuffed boa constrictor wrapped around her Jerse. I didn't at the time Hindoostau how she did It The nextfreakwas a man who swallowed a sword and felt jut as good w ith a pair or scizzor-1 mg haiightil against Ins liver as at an other time. He swallows pokers, case-knives, lightning rods, etc , and told me in a jingling whisper that he was grad ual!) getting himself into condition to eat some of the sweet cakes sold at the booths ou the ground. Another freak was called "Isabella, the Half Lady." The way she talked before the show 1 don't think he w as ev en that iiiu-h of a lady. She occu pied a darkened space In the back part of the tent and the way ou looked in it seemed as thouich her social disposition and minnerisms stopped at the waist and that she walked on her liver, which had to be kept sharp-shod for the purjiose. I think there was some fraud about It for I saw her buing corn-salve of a poor blind man with onl one hind leg. Caiiuioi et. PERSONAL PROPERTY. Abstrnct of the Annual Ileport of the County Auditor.

The stationao engineers' association, the only mechanical organization In the city. held its regular meeting last night. The discussion was opened by Bergeron, who gav e a ery good black board exercise and talk on the subject of heating surface in boilers. This subject is comparatively un known and needs careful study. Then came an essay by Hopoes on water con sumption per horse pow er per hour. This amount varies in different engines from US pounds to 70 pounds. The first figures for the best makes of Corliss. The subject of coal consumption was brought up by Presi dent Burke, who gave the record of the Corliss emrlne at the engine and thresher as US, pounds coal per horse power per hour. This record demonstrates the econo ni of a Corliss engine well managed. No slide valve engine could compare with such results. The convention of engineers at Cincinnati was referred to and as many as pssibly can go will be great! benefited. 1 he association reading room is open to all engineers on Sunday.

The com mittee on transportation appointed by the club at its last meeting, could not report as Ioa- rates as had b-en expected. The rate uivieb) the Bee Line was S1.65 for the round trip, winch Is about half fare, but that rate is good only if one hun dred go on the excursion.

The Big Six band will accompan the club, and the indications are that the "bo s" w ill not make a bad appearance. Pine 1'riulliisT. The Peerless Printing company, com posed of Messrs.

The I'ollce Kald All the Onmbllng Houses in theCIt) The Itaids Successfully Made, and I'luyers anil Lay Outs Are Captured. The police made a general raid on the gambling rooms of the city a few minutes before 10 o'clock last night. The entire force was called into requisition and four places were descended upon at one time. The raid was careful! planned and fairly successful. The police hail chosen tins time to make the descent because the week of the county fair is Usuall a bonanza for the faro-banks and poker rooms. The fakirs and side show men who attend agri cultural fairs, together with horsemen and turfmen, usually have a gotsl deal to do with the green cloth. This rule held onl partly good last night, and onlv one game was found in progress. The police were divided up into four squads, headed by Chief Ambrose. Inspec tor Foster. Officer Tom Bo d anil Ofl'cer Temp Wilson respective!. The iKlue started out from headquarters At David son Bros. room on west M.iUi street near Center, ovir Dan II Kubsam s Palace saloon -So. U. the police had some trouble getting in. The squad consisted of Chief Ambrose and Officers Nicklas, McAuhffe. Delac. Caldwell, Mc Clure. Johnston and Waskey. The en trance is b a front stairwi leading to two ponderous double-barred doors, bound with iron. The gamblers Inside refused to open these. Officer Nicklas accordingly went over to the St John stiops and bjrrowed a hft -pound crow-b-ir. This was brought over and used alternate! as alever and battering-ram until the doors gaveway. part of the plastered wall lieing torn out bodily. When the ofheers got in, there was nu indication of a game be ond the con ventional green faro table. The following were found Inside and placed under arrest, but released on bail: Frank Davidson, Charles Black. Frank Hutchins, Albert Smith, Charles C'holeran and Joe Sheets The latter took refuge upstairs and did not come down for some time after entrance was se cured. Dav idson put up S25 and the costs. 510 apiece. The laout of thecks, dealing box, case-box. etc.. was found in a cup board just before the officers left, but were not taken on the representation that thev did not belong to Dividson but to Kubsam The raid on Ed. Sullivan's place. No 7 was not greatly productive of results, and It is strongly suspected that Sullivan had a tip in advance. The squad of police con sisted of Officers Bod, Most.
