Chicago, Sept. 18. — The feature of the day
on 'change was the further development of
tin corner in corn, which resulted in prices
being put up "■■■ on the September option and
lc on the October. Wheat was also active I
and higher and in both cereals the same
nervousness exhibited daring the previous
days of the week was shown by operators.
On the afternoon board wheat and the long
options of corn weakened a shade, but Sep
tember corn advanced !<•, making the 3c
gain, which gave the futures strength and
the reaction carried prices up a shade, beyond
the closings on the regular board. Oats were
firm on the morning board, but weakened
somewhat In the afternoon and provisions
were dull and nominal most of the day. The
closing figures for October were: Wheat,
773i"e, a tin of '■: c : ,rii 54c, a gain of lc;
oats, '■'.•>■ re, a loss of ! . c: pork, -*If>.7ij, a de
cline of 25c; lard, $7.15, and ribs, S9.CO,
unchanged.
Wheat was quoted quiet in Liverpool, and
cargoes to arrive easier, at a decline of Cd
per quarter on California, and the market
here responded, with a dull aud weak open
ing. But our receipts failed to show much
increase on yesterday's moderate arrivals,
and at other leading points they were only
r«.lr. Stronger quotations came from New
York, where large lines of shorts were said to
have been bought in for account of European
operators, who have recently been heavy sell
er, of futures in the leading American mar
kets, ami an additional Installment of stories
about dry weather and restricted operations
in the winter wheat belt were in circulation.
These factors were turned to good account
by the bulls who have been manipulating the
market, and as the bears ware timid and not
Inclined to stand on their deals, it required
but a slight effort to start and keep up an ad
vance. There were, however, few strong
feature of^a legitimate <•!,. r icter to justify the
appreciation; The late advices from New York
Stated that the export demand had almost
entirely disappeared since the recent advanc
there, and the statement of the available sup
ply in sight in this country and afloat on the
ocean for Europe showed an increase of
2,200,000 bushels over last Thursday's state
ment. I a lens a better shipping demand la
speedily developed there appears to be little
in the situation to sustain prices. The r<j
ceipts li<re were 886 cars and the withdrawals
from store were very light, 27,425 bushels
against 117,000 yesterday. There was a good
deal of active trading, but the feeling was
nervous and fluctuations rapid. October
opened a shade lower at 7G c, receded to
7i>\<\ when free buying to cover contracts
and liberal takings by scalpers started prices
on the lip grade, the most prominent pur
chasers being Comstock, Carr &
Stauffcr. Quotations reached T." ,c, but
there was bo much realizing at the top that
prices dropped to a close of 7? ! 4 e on the
morning board, but recovered to 77 ■'. .• in
the afternoon. November La now the most
active deal, and oparators are transferring
October deals to that month, which opened
at TS'.'c, receded to7S.' : c, advanced to79>£c
and closed at V'.t^'e. No. ■.' spring sold at
7."iJ s '(.(7(i; l l e and closed at 7;. : ,((/7 i;i 4 , and
No. :t spriug closed at 55>£@5Sc. Winter
grades advanced 1 '•<" 1..- and closed at le
fur No. 3 red; 04] ,(^osc for No. 3, and 4Sc
for regular.
Said C. D. iiamlll to-day: "The low
prices recently current have had the effect
of curtailing farmers deliveries, and tho
outlook is for only very moderate receipts
for some time to come. The tone of toe
market and the feeling of operators have
very lately undergone a noticeable change,
and should foreign markets retain the
strength and better feeling which are Indi
cated by recent advices, ! think the period of
depression Is'past and look for activity and
go.nl trailing markets henceforth."
Corn was active and a further sharp ad- I
vauco was scored, the closing price of cash
ami September being at the outside figures
of the day. The receipts were smaller and
the manipulators, seeing their advantage
and t»eiug desirous of whipping the snorts In
and knowing the small offerings for Septem
'"' gave them control of the situation, j
made good use of their opportunity and se
cured v sharp advance. At the opening of
the session the burly form of Mr. A. G.
Low, surmounted by a chip hat of unknown
ago, might have been teen moving toward
the rash crowd. Mr. Low's pocket* were
well tilled with tuning orders and that gen
tleman operated with a confidence that gave
the impression that there were millions be
hind him. Low opened the ball this morn
ing t>y buying the carloads of com at ss>£c.
He wanted more ami was promptly accom
modated, for the crowd seemed to be pretty
w»il loaded. He kept on buying, filling one
trading card after another until he had

The market went up to 60c, and still the

nervous, but still hesitate to meet the market
and get out of trouble, and the clique seem
to know exactly how far to crowd them, und
will keep putting prices up until in the end
shorts will be forced to settle at the best |
terms they can get. Light receipts to-day
helped the clique to bull the market without
taking much corn. The year and May corn
are getting up some, and we think now
they are probably a good sale for
a cent or two. Outside parties we think
have pretty generally covered their shorts in
September and October corn, but there are
quite considerable lines out among the local
operators, which will be forced in at a trifle
further advance."
Oats ruled very quiet and were neglected !
by traders. The closing figures were 25>£c |
for October, and 20c for May, an increase
of He in the latter. The shipping demand
continues good.
In the provision pit lard was th 3 only
article that had anything of a show to-day.
Armour is said to have sold large quantities
of the November option and to have por
chased January, which is selling at a very
small margin, for carrying it over. Nat
Jones was in the pit early in the day trying
to buy lard, but when Charlie
Singer offered him 10,000 tierce 3
of November he did not want to take
it. Pork was nominal, the only change to
note being a decline of 25c on the October
option on the afternoon board, and ribs were
very quiet with quotations unchanged.
There were less than 150 cars of Texas and
territorial rangers among the fresh receipts
of cattle. The market generally was fairly
active, but prices were again a shade lower
on common and medium natives. There is
an active demand for stockers, and one or
two of tho speculating firms sold out yester
day. Thrifty young stock continues to sell
at high prices. Over 1,000 head of yearlings
and stockers have been sold within a day or ]
two. v Stock calves are also in good demand,
the shipments yesterday reaching over 1,000
head. The best range cattle, either Texan
or westerns, are making strong prices aud
are in good demand. The re
ceipts of westerns and Texan s to
day were somewhat below tho average
of the past few days. Range cattle were Bull
ing at about the following: Texans, of 750 to
850 poundsats3.7s@4.2s; of 900 to 1,000 i
at •*4. 4.50: Wyomings, Montana 3 and

In the hog markets receipts were light, de

New Yohk, Sept. .18.— Free selling of
stocks commenced Immediately after the
opening this morning. The Grangers, Union
Pacific and Delaware V; Laeka wanna were
the leaders, the last named declining from
100 to 104 during the first hour. Northwestern
touched 92. The changes in St. Paul were
unimportant. Considerable Union Pacific
was marketed, but the stock rallied after
wards. Oregon Railway picked up quite
sbarplj. Erie second bonds were raided,
selling down to 54. The Vanderbllts ap
peared to bo let severely alone, with slight
chance* In them. The market showed con
tinued manipulation and outsiders appear to
be doing but Htttle. The short interest seems
to be about the only support the bulls have
to depend upon, and as It Is quite an item,
it was not difficult to keep prices compara
tively steady alter the early raids. A sharp
rally in Delaware .v Lackawanna

feature during the closing hour.
The advance did not hold, however, the
Grangers slipped off to the lowest figures

ST. PAUL. MINN., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19.1884.
MOWER COUNTY.
The Farmers Join Hands for an An
nual Fair. #
What the Globe Found on Yesterday as the
Result.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Austin-, Sept. 18, ISS4. — The first annual
exhibition of the resurrected Mower County
Agricultural society held at their grounds
adjoining this city, closed to day. I say
resurrected, from the fact that such an insti
tution had its birth twelve years ago and
after a lingering existence of five years it
died and was put away in its little grave, with
but few if any to mourn it* untimely demise.
This was during the time when the exclu
sive production of wheat year after year had
prostrated the farming community in this
section of the state, and had paralyzed the
energies of the people. The change which
has taken place in farming operations in
this section caused by the impetus given to
stock raising and the dairy, has wrought a
wonderful change in the aspect of
affairs and the Farmers' Alliance
coming to the front have re-organized the
defunct society, or rather organized a new
one, and have started out with brilliant pros
pects. The institution is in the hands of
practical men and thorough farmers, and
contains the best blood of Mower county.
The following are the officers of the society:
President, George W. Grimshaw, Lansing.
Vice President, D. B. Smith. Austin.
Secretary, F. P. Mi-Bride, Austin.
Treasurer, W. T. Wilkins, Austin.
Executive Committee, J. J. Furlong. A.
Frederieb, J. C. Hawkins, 11. W. Lightly, C.
H. Coats, M. Teeter, J. B. Reyord, Jonas-
Haney, A. Knox.
The grounds recently purchased by the so
ciety are those formerly owned by the * Aus
tin Driving park, another defunct institu
tion, and are located about one mile south
west from the city. The spot is a fine one,
as leve^as could be desired and has one of
the best half mile tracks in the west. The
buildings are floral hall 30x60 and a few
stables. The grounds are as yet unfenced
and there is a vast deal of improvement
necessary before the society has the grounds
in shape to suit them. Their success the
first year warrants them in trectine fences,
stables, an anlargcmont of floral hall and
such other buildings as are necessary, which
will be done the coming year, when it will
be one of the finest country fair grounds in
the state.
j Of course the first Item of interest now-a
diiys in regard to agricultural matters, is
"what are the farmers doing to improve the
quality of their stock." The time was, and
not very long ago, either, when there was
so little thoroughbred stock in this county,
or in southern Minnesota for that matter,
that it was* scarcely worth mentioning. To
day showa a most marked change.
When my granger friend, W. T. Wilkins,
invited me here to see what Mower county
could do In the way of an agricultural exhi
bition, I reflected, as Mower county, like
her slaters of the southern tier, was fast
emerging from the state of depression and
embarrassment whi-.:h the exclusive wheat
fanning of a few years ago had engendered,
and that she was liable to get up a first-class
exhibition. I was not disappointed in this
conjecture.
About the first thing which I did On my
arrival upon the grounds was to visit the
lock. Not being a "horse crank," I passed
at once to the cattle department. Here I
felt more at home, and found things more to
my liking. Of coarse there were the inevit
able Bolstelns, but I also found my favorite
Short Horns. Talk about symmetry and
beauty in the bovine species, and if you can
produce anything that can down the Short
Horns you are more fortunate than I ever
was. It is all right to breed for milk and
butter, but when you find any blood that will
give you more cash money at two years old
than a Short Horn you have got to hunt a
long time. But lam wandering from my
legitimate descriptive vein. "
I suppose I must head the stock exhibit
with the Holstein herd of A. V. Ellis, of Aus
tin township. He had TO head of full bloods
and grades. At the head of this herd is
"Daniel Decouda," No. 1077, imported. Of
course it is a most magnificent herd, the
largest and best ever shown at any fair in
Minnesota, state or county, and although I
do. not fancy the black and white spotted
fellows, still lam Dot dead to the fact that j
they are fine-formed, high-bred animals and
have their good points and are to-day the
popular breed und the general favorites.
The next herd of importance, so far as
blood and numbers, was that of E. S. Hoppin
registered Devons. It consisted of "Grand
Triumph," No. 2304, at the head and a cow
and two calves, one of which, "Rival," three
and a half months old, was sold on the
grounds for UK) to Richardson & Day. They
were beauties, as red as blood and as perfect
in form as could be imagined. I half like a
Devon anyway.
The only Jersey was a cow, the property of
Mr-. John Jingle, of Austin. It was a pretty
animal, small, but well formed, and as do
cile and gentle as its blood always are.
suout mm
There is where I felt at home. There
were no large herds exhibited, but there
were some splendid specimens of this desira
ble strain, which may well be denominated
the king of cattle. Of the Short Horns exhib
ited M . Teeter show* "Duke of Rockdale;"
E. H. Wells, "Charles Lowry" and two full
blood cow?; J. J. Furlong, "General Scott,"
cow and calf: C. E. Carter, four head full
bloods, while J. M. Furlong shows a herd of
twenty head of Short Horn grades, which
take the cake.
SWISS.
Now, right here let me state that If there
is anything of which I am thoroughly posted
It is this not very agreeable but quite useful
class of animals. Swine, as pets, are not
very .desirable, though "Guinea pigs" achieve
quite a notoriety that way, but when it comes
to a corner give I ie the "Jew" despised hog,
especially when it is engineered by an "Ar
mour." When I struck this department I
found that J. J. Furlong came to the front
with three pens of Poland Chin*, (pure
bloods), with "Minnesota Boy" at the head.
Oscar Avert had three pecs of Jersey Reds,
and James Stewart one of Chester Whitts.
They were all good samples of their class.
SHEEP.
Well, here was where I felt that I was on
my native heath, so to speak. It was in this
class that Secretary Judson. of the State
Agricultural society won undying fame for
me and perpetrated the best of all of his
practical jokes. I found J. J. Furlong had
a large flock of Cotswolds, J. J. Duasmore
another. A. Lett another, and last, but not
least, my esteemed friend, the farmer, stock
breeder, banker and illu*trioa> politician,
who ..-covered Milo White, Hon. W. T.
Wllkjas, Esq., who makes sheep a specialty.
HOBSH.
At this juncture of my wanderings ap
drove I A. Cox behind his famous black
trotting horse, "Sam WeUer." Of coarse,
while I am notahone crank, I can appreciate
a {rood bone when I see one. Cox mlwavs
drives a good hone if he don't make
a cent, and Sam Weiler is
just that kind of an animal.
He is coal black, 16# hands Ugh. weighs
1,300 pounds, was sired by Administrator,
bred in Kentucky, and is a pure trotting
strain. Cox is proud of him. You can see
that by the way he draws the lines over him
and the manner in which his eye kindles
when you talk of him. I feel as if it is a
justifiable pride. I would not or could not
refrain from pride were I his owner.
The Toofe Farming company makes the
largest exhibit of horses, consisting of thir
teen bead of horses, with "Beauty," an im
ported Perch ron -Norm an (pure white) at the
head of the stud, weight 1,700; Prior, a pure
white stallion, fifteen-sixteenths Norman,
weight 1,700; and Vidoc, a half blood four
years old, weight 1,0-10, and six half breed
colts with four common mares. The
exhibit is a very fine one and
demonstrates the oft repeated assertion thai
"blood will tell." Henry Lightly shows two
fine horses, one of them, Mark, an imported
Clydesdale, and a black stallion, Midnight,
of Norman blood.
CHICKENS.
The chicken business was not very large
but extremely choice, embracing the best
varieties known to this section of country.
Turning my attention from the stock to
the machinery department, I found two prin
cipal exhibitors, Oscar Ayers and the Keen
an Bros. Both were fine exhibits. The lat
ter gentlemen had the liveliest traction en
gine I ever saw in motion all over the
grounds, .while in the afternoon they set
their threshers, harvesters and other ma
chinery in motion with it.
Entering floral hall I found ample evidence
of the interest hit by Mower county people
in their fair. Its arrangements were under
the direction of Mr. A. Knox and the floral
decorations were arranged by Mr*. Bella
Sherwood. These were placed within and
around a Chinese pagoda, in the top of which
hung a Cage of fifty canaries, the property of
Mrs. W. H. Sutton.and the way they swelled
their little throats made the whole room full
of delicious melody.
The particular exhibits were the fruits
(Minnesota), vegetable* and seed corn. Of
the latter the exhibit was the largest and
best ever shown in the state. When the
farmer begins raising clover and corn the
day of his prosperity begins to dawn. Mower
county can now be set down as a grain,
stock, log and corn district, and it goes with
this that she is on the high road to prosperity.
I had no time to notice
except in a general way, the ladies fancy
work department, or the mercantile exhibits,
but as I passed around the room I noticed
the Kirn ball organ always to be found on
deck when fair time comes and always wear
ing the blue ribbon, and I also found a
kitchen cabinet made at St. Cloud which
ought to make an v housewife happy if kept
well filled.
But a detailed account of what I saw at
the Mower county fair would be tiresome to
you and your reader* so 1 must abridge it
somewhat. It can all be summed up by
saying that the fair i* so much of a success
as to surprise even the most sanguine of its
friends and has tilled them with an ambition
to have the best county fair in the state
another y oar and they will do it too. They
are having the best kind of weather for it
and tome nice metis.
PKOGRAMMH OF TUB DAY.
The forenoon was consumed in viewing
stock and the grand cavalcade which would
have done credit to our state fair a few
years since. The fine herd of Holsteins be
longing to Mr. A. V. Ellis was photographed
by a special artist upon the grounds.
The I Car'",-.
The first race wag free for all horses with
out a record. There wire lour entries —
Minnesota Chief, Hank, Topsy and Peggy.
Five Luata were trotted to decide the race,
Which was won by Hank. Best time 3:42.
'■ Between the heat* in this race was sand
wiched a running race, best three in five,
half mile heats. Five horses were entered.,
but the contest was narrowed down to three
after the first heat. It was won by Buffalo
Dick in three straight heats, Paddy second,
Buckskin Jim third. Best time 58
seconds. The most interesting feature of
the afternoon was the attempt of
"Wallace to beat the best time ever made on
this track, 2:35. After a warming heat his
driver, A. W. McMillan, nodded for the
word and trotted the mile in 8:38 without a
break against a strong wind. Wallace is a
black gelding owned by Arthur McMillan, of
Minneapolis, I. seven year* old and was
never driven to a sulky until June 15, last.
He has gone in nine races tbi. fall in which
he ha» ken seven first monies, one second
and one, fourth. In the 2:30 class at Min
neapolis he won first money and got a record
of 2:293^. He was sired by Grey Comet,
dam by son of Hill's Blackhawk. He is a
most promising horse.
Jlixrrllanmitu*.
The fair can be set down as a perfct suc
cess, financially and in every other way.
Among the visitor* here to-day are Frank
nail and Judg« E. C. Stacy, of Albert Lea,
who are looking after the Democratic wave.
There were two other features of Interest,
the baby show, in which Mamie Fur
long took the first ribbon,
and the traction engine race against time,
which drew two farm wacons, one contain
ing the Austin cornet band and the other
full of men, a mile beat.
I have also met Ira Jones, be of sound
Jones notoriety. He is here from Portland. I
Oregon, where be is engaged in the practice '
of law. I have sounded him, and find that !
has experienced a chance of heart. "Had I
10,000 votes to cast I would cast them all for
Got. Cleveland," said he, "and I have been |
a life long Republican." The world do
more.
The fall term of court for Mower county,
Judge Farmer on the bench,' convened on
Tuesday but adjourned over the day yester
day and is now in session. The grand jury
is still wrestling with something real or
imaginary of which the rest of the world Is
ignorant. It is understood to be a light
session so far as either criminal or civil case*
are concerned, the calendar having none of
tb«t lengthy cast which it used to have In
days of yore.
A sort of holy calm broods over the social
system here strangely at variance with that I
state of commotion and tnrbuiance which
was common to it a few years since. What
ever there was of bitterness in the old Page
and antl-Pasie embroglio has long since
burned itself out and peace, white winged !
peace, hovers over this t community. i
Prosperity has also once more j
dawned upon the city as it has upon j
the surrounding . farming country
and Austin has no call to ,be ashamed of it
self for anything. The advent of the Min
nesota & Northwestern, so called, which is
building from Lyle via Austin and Dodge
Center to St. Paul, and which not only con
nects but is rationally supposed to be an ex
tension of the Illinois Central, now In opera
tion to Lyle, will be a fine thin? for Austin.
Active operations are now going forward in
its construction, and another season will take
it into the state capital. Really I am well
pleased with the Austin of to-day, and a i
sense of satisfaction seems to pervade the I
entire place.

Pierre, Dak., Sept. 18. —Last night was a
sleepless one for the candidates and their
leaders. All night persistent work was be
ing done by the Raymond and anti-Raymond
forces. At 9 :30 the delegates began filling
the convention hall," Temporary Chairman
Halldridge having convinced the j South Da
kota caucus that he was not a traitor. The
convention was called to order at 9:50. The
chairman requested that there be no smok
ing in the hall as there was giant powder
stored beneath.
The committee on credentials was ap
pointed as follows: John E.
Bennett, of Clark, chairman; R. F. Aiken,
of Lincoln :J. V. Jones, of Clay; M. N.
Root, of Barnes; Dr. Jackson, of Lawrence;
E. G. Fahnstock, Caddington: A. H. Clark,
of Custer; F. B. Phillips, of Jerauld; M. V.
B. Scribner, of Brown ; R. D. Jennings, of
Fall River; J. G. Hamilton, of Grand Forks;
M. F. Steele, of Kidder; D. A. Mizner, of
Davidson ; John A. Stowell, of Burleigh; Karl
Gerner, of Beadle.
Committee on permanent organization :
A. N. Stewart, of Fall River; E. A. Foster, of
Spink; E. S. Tyler, of Cass; Frank B. Allen,
of Burleigh; John R. Gable, of Yankton.
On motion the convention took a recess
until 2 p. m.
The convention reassembled at two o'clock.
The credentials . committee sent word It
would not be ready to report until Friday
morning.
Judge Moody moved the appointment of a
committee on resolutions consisting of one
from each legislature district. . This was
amended by doubling the proposed member
ship. * *
Nickens did not see any object in raising
this committee. The convention had no
more right to do this • than to permanently
organize before the . credentials committee
reported.
Moody explained that it would facilitate
business if this were done.
Nickeus withdrew his objections and the
motion was adopted unanimously.
Chairman Haldridge asked the delegates to
meet by legislative districts and agree on
names for the committee on resolutions. ;
Grimshaw, of Lawrence, made a motion
to adjourn till 9 o'clock Friday morning.
Campbell, of Minnehaha, moved to amend
by making the adjournment to this after
noon.
The original motion was withdrawn and
Campbell's substitute stood in its stead.
" Neil, of Grant, moved to amend by ap
pointing a committee of three to inform the
credentials committee that the convention
would expect it to report at 4 o'clock. The
amendment was accepted ' and the motion
adopted.
The chair appointed Nell, MeKenzle and
Nickcns such committee.
A recess was taken from 3 to 4 o'clock.
At 4 p. m. the committee to wait on
the credentials committee reported that
the latter will be ready to report at 8 this
evening.
There being no place where the conven
tion can hold night sessions, Johnson, of
Brown, moved to adjourn to 9 o'clock Friday
morning.
Major Ricker moved to* amend by making
it 8 o'clock.
Mr. Nit-kens said the motion to adjourn
wes a trick to gain time for some delegates,
so he asked Moody if he would agree, if the
committee was not ready to report in the
morning, to discharge it and bring the con
tests directly before the convention.
Moody would not agree to this.
After considerable sparring between Nick
ens and Moody, the convention voted to ad
journ to 8:30 Friday morning.

show tnere is a contest in Aurora county,
where there are three sets of delegates claim
ing seats. The other counties are Hand,

der.

workers. Raymond charged Alex. McKenzie
with paying <SOO for eight votes. McKenzie
went to Raymond's quarters and got upon a
table and said the whole thing was a fabri
cation. Raymond took McKenzie by the
coat and Invited him to desist. Many hot
words passed between them. Scott, of
Fargo, Raymond's man, attempted to hold a
Raymond caucus in McMaster's headquart
ers with Frank Pettigrew, and got the worst
r.f it.

THE FAIR AT HUDSON.
The Second Day Proves a Success in
Point of Attendance and En
tertainment-
I Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Hudson, Wis., Sept 18. The breezes that
swept up from Lake St. Crolx yesterday sug
gested to many minds that somebody, antic
ipating a hot wave, had anchored an iceberg
In the vicinity as a precautionary measure
and infused such a degree of chilliness into
the atmosphere as to make it slightly un
comfortable. Tue good people of Hudson
and St. Croix county, however, were in no
wise deterred from attending the fair, and
they were on hand en masse. They went in
wagon loads, buggy loads and 'bus loads,
and all the trains to Hudson brought visitors
from adjacent counties. At 5 o'clock in the
afternoon the Globe represtntative bad a
brief talk with the management, and was
assured that the treasury already contained
sroU'jn shekels enough to defray the ex
penses of the association. The entertain
ment of the day was sufficiently varied to be
of interest to all those attending, and if
countenance indications are worth anything
in the determination of what is going on in
the mind, we are prepared to express the
opinion that approximately everybody was
full of joy.
At 2 o'clock W. D. Hoard, president of the
Dairymen's association, delivered the an
nual address. % He was listened to with close
attention, and many took b"ome with them in
memory a score of his practical suggestions.
Immediately after the address the Hudson
and Stillwater teams began a game of base
ball in the apace of the lower turn in the
track, and at the same time the starting
Judge called the horses in the first race.
The Innovation of having a ball game and a
horse race going on at the same time proved
very enjoyable, as the spectators were never
at a moment's loss for entertainment. The
twenty minute's rest allowed the horses be
tween the beaU of the races could be occu
pied by the audience in taking in the extra
attraction on the diamond.
The fair will close to-day with a great
market day sale of stock, pulling matches, a
bicycle exhibition by Minneapolis wheel
men, a free-for-all trotting race, a ladies'
- lriv:n2 race, a pony running race, and a
game of ball between the fat and lean men of ;
Hudson.
E. C. Learned, one of the oldest and best
known members of the Illinois bar, died at
Lake forest Wedce* night.
