(oodllme, LAWRENCE STANDARD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1877. DRUGS A Barber Brothers, No. 163 Mass. Lawrence I A Complete Success and an Hn to Doug-las County The Grounds Crowded, and Delighted.

The stormy weather, which threatened to make the fair a failure, cleared away, and in consequence Thursday afternoon found a large attendance at the grounds. The approach to the grounds was lined with teams bitched to fences, trees, and the owners were on the inside examining the displays and witnessing the races. AT THE GATE Messrs. Tabor, Sternbergh and Wilder are ready to welcome the comers, and take the ticket, or price of admission, which is the small sum of twenty-five cents, and what man with the least enterprise, or woman with any curiosity, could refuse twenty-five cents for the privilege of seeing what our section of the country can do in the way of furnishing products for the fair. As we walk up towards the hill, which is shaded by trees and covered with buildings and stands, we hear the voice of that man who displays the freaks and foibles of nature as found in the six-legged pig, the five-legged calf, the four-legged chicken, and the three-legged duck, and the wonderful woman who is entirely eriven over to fatness.

But these things are not so entertaining as the FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. There are two building dedicated to farm and orchard products, and both Are filled to overflowing. Hes- per Grange has a fine display of ap pies, pears, peaches, canned fruits, potatoes and grains. Vinlaud Grange shows a collection of fruits, vegeta bles and grains which are well worth being proud of. In this department there is some very fine May wbeaj worthy of particular attention.

Oread Grange shows the motto We strive to and backs it up by a con vincing display of luscious fruits and ponderous vegetables. And just here may be seen some very fine speci-mers of dried apples; also particu larly conspicuous, a mighty beet, that "can't be beat." Oak Ridge Grange comes to the front with fruits, vegeta bles and grains to which adjectives cannot do justice. Here is a very fine specimen of tobacco in the green leaf. Here, too, is a quilt, not exactly a farm product, but chiefly to be noted because it has arrived at the respecta ble age of 146 years, and is a good quilt yet. Near the entrance of the second building, which is devoted to fruits and vegetables, is seen BUECKING SON'S display of vinegars.

This firm is manufacturing large quantities of vinegars, and building up an exten sive trade. Upon entering the building at the southwest door the first and most noticeable display is that of Mr. Scoutsn, whose fruits come from his orchard in the west part of Kanwaka Mr. Scouteu shows thirty'five varie ties, the finest of which are the Ben Davis," Boxbury Russetts," -'Fall Pippins," autumn and winter "Swaar," and "Hubbardson None such." Just opposite this fine show of fruit is Mr. Yewdall's floral display, con taming many beautiful flowers, and particularly a greatvariety of Zinnias, the cultivation of which flower he makes a specialty.

Miss Lola Bell exhibited the finest canned fruit we ever saw, and they were only equalled by Mrs. Vincent's show of jellies. Among an excellent display of ap- pies by Mr. Thomas Pierson, the "Jonathan" variety was very fine Mr. D.

G. Watt, whose orchard has furnished some of the finest fruit ever seen in the city, did himself credit by showing a large and beautiful collection of apples, among which were fine specimens of the following varieties "Tallman Sweet," "Seeknc-further," Wagner," (a rare apple), and the finest Roman Beauties to be found at the fair. Forty of the latter apples made a large half-bushel. Dr. Sim mon's "wine-saps" were unusually large and luscious, and Mr.

Lovejoy's collection of grapes and apples was very good. Of course no pomological display would be complete iu this country unless Mr. Braokett had his represeu tation there. He makes a specialty of fruit eullifre and has made himself well known among fruit growers from yesterday's report. Although the exhibits of the Douglas and Ceo tennial Oranges were spoken of, yet 1 those Granges were not mentioned by name.

They made a fine showing, as every one who saw their products can testify. Special premiums were awarded to three of the six competing granges as follows Oread first premium, Vin- laud second Centennial third. Each premium was awarded unanimously. Messrs. Pickett Bros, had on exhibi tion a show case containing some fine articles from their store.

Mr. E. B. Guild shows a collection of first class musical instruments, I among which is an organ of the Western Cottage make, which has four sets of reeds, and is in every way a re markable instrument. And now a word for F.

E. Bos well, who is agent for the Kansas City Agricultural Implement Company. He exhibits the Skinner Davenpoit sulky and walking plows; also Adams French's harvesters aud self-binders, Meadow Lark mowers, Daven port and Northwest cultivators, and is also agent for all kinds of Fish Bros, farm, spring wagons and buggies. We may mention that the Skinner sulky plow was the winner at the field trial at the recent Kansas City Exposition. ON THE TRACK, Thursday afternoon, in the exhibition of saddle horses, the special premium was awarded to entered by Nick C.

Johnson. Mr. Osborn's horse took second premium. In the exhibi tion of double teams to carriage, the first prizi was taken by H. II, Lud-ington, snd the second by E.A.Smith.

In the exhibition of single horses to buggy, George Osborn took the first premium, and E. Smith the second In the fivrm-team race, mile heats, for Sands' special premium (pair of horse collars), two consecutive heats were won by Sperry, in 4:35 and 4:34. In the four minute trotting race, E. A. Smith entered Norwood, James Don nelly entered Dan Scully, and J.

Gardiner entered Steuiwiuder. Dan Scully look three consecutive heats in 3:00, 3:01, and Norwood took second money. In the pony running race the first prize was taken by "Billy Button," and the second by "Jennie." For Steinberg's special premium (a S3 shawl) for the best ladies' riding, there were two com uetitors, Mrs. Curtis aud Miss Ella Painter. Mrs.

Curtis was the victor, YESTERDAY. As we have mentioned, au immense crowd gathered at the grounds Judge J. S. Emery, of this city, de livered an address to a large assembly of oeoole. It served to increase the interest in the productions of this sec tion of country, will act as a most powerful incentive towards renewed exertions by ambitious Kansas farm ers.

It is a good thing on such an oc casion to bring out a speaker who has the ability and extensive knowledge of the State which Judge Emery has Iu the afternoon the iuterest of the crowd centered on the track, where the first thing in order was a sack race, which there were five contestants. G. W. Painter won first prize, and "Tom," be of the big feet, won second piize, both specials offered by J. House.

First prize, special by Barber, for best Jady rider, with surcingle and blanket, was won by Miss Bracket; second prize, special by March, Miss Etta Painter. For the three-minute race, mile heats, best three In five, purse $50, there were three entries: Pat Hamlin entered Frank James Don nelly, "Dan Scully;" aud J. J. Gard iner, Stemwinder." "Frank won first, second and fourtli heats in 2:56 2:52, and 2:43. "Dan Scuily took third beat in winning second money.

For the stallion race. mile heats, best. three in hve, purse $30, Foster Bell en- entered B. F. Akers, St.

Nicholas;" and E. A. Smith, "jjforwood." "Norwood" won first and second heats in 3:04 and 3:03 St. Nicholas won the third heat iu 3:04. The fourth heat was de clared a draw, and consequently will have to be trotted again to day at 10 a.

m. Miss Eita Painter won the first prize as best lady rider, and Mrs. Cunnington second prize. Mrs. E.

A. Smith won the first prize for ladies' driving, aud Mrs. Cunnington second premium. Master Charlie Whitney won tue first prize as best boy-rider, and Eddie Fluke second prize. The boys all rode well.

Charley Whitney sat upon his pony and handled it like a natural horseman, as he is. The seeker of AMUSEMENT found a feast in the odd and funny-performances constantly going on. T'le grounds are full of siugers, fiddle rw, tricksters, venders, Ac, who have educated themselves to make money and sport at the same time. When people abandon themselves to emjoyment they expect to be humbugged to some extent, pro viding the humbug has a kind of sugar-coating of fuu. A man will walk up, with a broad grin, aud pay ten cents for the privilege of trying to do something almost outside the range of possibility.

Lookers-on are amused, the man who gets the ten cents is well pleased, and the victim: ized one is entertained for a moment by being the center of attraction for the crowd. Well, Heaven forgive tbem and forgive us ail Home rise by sin, and some by virtue fall," A detailed description of the SHBKP AND SWINK cannot well be given. The best way, for those who did not see arrive at an Idea of the extent and character of this department of the fair, is to give a list, in so far as we can at present, of the premiums taken. In the department of sazzr (XTewtaa Cansaaw, second, 2, Mr. Warren, also.

J. M. McMillan. THE BABY SHOW came off at 12 o'clock to day. There were fourteen entries, ten boys and four girls.

The mothers were iuvited into the baggage room where the judges, H. W. Mrs. W. CrutchfieH, and Mrs.

Ricker, proceeded to look at the little ones. Four of the boy babies were just six months old. Most of the little ones laughed, but. some made up faces and shook their fists at the judges. None of them seemed to be very power fully impressed with the importance of the occasion.

Billy Hughs' was with the blue ribbon ready. He said, this is a hard thing to de cide. If it was left to me, I should just have to walk right out, or else put a blue ribbon ou each of them." While the show was going on the band began to play, just outside, and Immediately each baby was perfectly still. At the conclusion of the music they began to talk to each other in that baby language which older and sinful mortals cannot understand. At this juncture a woman on the outside of the building whispered through a crack to the judges you never can decide unless yon change their clothes and give the babies to strangers to hold." One little beauty fell asleep, prefering the land of dreams to the noise and commotion of a county fair.

The judges finally came to a decision, hot before announcing it requested the mothers, with their children, to ttepotttsida, when everybody could to xbees tied en. The rifctoona -italsrJEicrt 4rr si tit. i m-a if Jk-. -i pretty wit of bby clothe called forth the admiration of the ladles, and made childless women look at their husbands in such a way that the mis erable mortals were glad to slink out of sight. Here George Oaumer lords it over the natural history department, and exhibits all maimer of animals stuff ed, dried, and pickled: R.

8. Bell and 8. Watts have taken a large space in wmcn to snow an assortmen-t of stoves. This speaks well for the -business enterprise of these gentlemen, and will bing de served patronage. J.

G. Sands has such a show of har ness, saddlery, as might be ex pected from a man who has a splen did stock of goods and a wide and long established reputation. H. W. Macaulay, principal of the Lawrence Business Coliege, exhibits specimens of plain and fancy pen mauship which are worthy the uni versal attention that they attract.

Of course a detailed description of all the entries is not possible in our limited space. It took the entire afternoon to look at fruits, vegetables, grains and a part of the miscellaneous exhibits, and even then very many things did not get that attention which they deserved Those who know, say that the po mological display is exceptionally good. (Friday's Exhibition.) The fair is au assured success. The grounds are crowded. Among the grain displays the wheat and corn are particularly no ticeable.

Mr. A. B. Wade has i specimen of wheat which weighs 63J lbs. to the bushel.

Among the miscelleanous displays W. W. Fluke has Maron Hamlin, Loring Blake organs, and a Chick- ering piano. And he has, too, a man to bring the music out of these or gans, and show their superiority. A genuine Singer Sewing Machine is on exhibit in the same collection.

Steinberg Bro's show a superb lot of clothing, among which is seen samples or overcoats trom their place ot business wnere. tney nave over 1,000 of them for sale. This exhibit is in charge of Bert. Hancock, who understands how to show up the arti cles in first rate style. Steinberg Bro's.

took the blue ribbon for the best display of clothing. McCurdy Bro's. are well represented and have their exhibit in charge of John McCurdy. Boots aud shoes are a staple article iu which everybody is interested. Iu this collection the Cen tennial patent buckle plow shoe at tracts particular attention.

McCurdy Bro's. look the blue ribbon for the best display of boots and shoes, and it was well deserved. They also had on exhibit the celebrated Kansas made boot, and the Burt shoa, in all about $1,000 worth. Close by Mc Curdy Bro'o is a display of carpets quilts and blankets, many of which are decorated with blue In the department of AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, Frank E. Bosweii makes a good show ing, among which is an ingeniously contrived hemp breaker, which has been sold to W.

A. Harris. Rheinhart Lucas have the Kan sas hay -fork aud American hay ele vator, which is simple, cheap and durable, and took the gold medal las year at Philadelphia. They also have plows, harrows, grain drills, buggies, carriages and faro, wagons, withal the finest display of the kind ou the ground. O.

Carlson exhibits home manufactured buggies, carriages and spring wagons. He has on display a tine top buggy made for Mr. Johnson, the banker, and a most elegant open cane phaeton. This exhibit is particu larly worthy of mention because it comes from a well known home workman, whose work is first class and whose reputation as a unarm fac turer is fast growing. Van Hoesen shows a McCormiek reaper and self-binder, which draws crowds to see its operation.

He also has ou exhibit a McCormiek mower. niinuaii nimmons snow a corn planter, which Mr. Kimball has spent a year and a half upon in bringing to perfection. This corn planter has a drilling and check-row attachment combined, and is one of the most ingeniously contrived things on the field. It saves the labor of marking off the ground.

Mr. Kimball is right there to explain its mechanism, aud the farmers think it is a good thing. In connection with farming implements might be mentioned ihe Sher man farm gate, V. R. Coles' gate, and the railroad aud farm fence.

W. H. Sage elastic expansion rubber bucket and chain pump are on exhibition, and attract considerable attention. O. A.

Hanscom shows the Monarch corn mill and Robbing' little washer. The latter has lately been introduced into the city. The women say it is just the thing needed, and they ought to know. W. H.

T. Wakefield exhibits the Boss sickle grinder. REFRESHMENTS are on the ground in quality and quantity to suit the most fastidious and hungriest. Moore supported by nu jnerous assistants, furnish whatever good things to eat can be desired. They have a commodious dining hall where whosoever will (for 50 cents), may be satisfied.

Harris Chapman are on hand with confectionery, fcc, and the much ailed for peanut. Afugler A. Byiogton, the two orphans," have a stand and are patronized in a way which shows that the orphan business But our time is up and we must stop for to-day with the promise of continuation tomorrow. (The Last Day.) Pluck, energy and work' have won the day. To the members of the Kansas Valley Pair Association are due the tbauks of our citizens, and to the oitizens are due the thanks of the Association, for, ty their cactstl aistanee, in cf fcir to t-Tt tar in the babies show superiority over their elders.

course each mothers' baby was the dearest to her, aud as the crowd looked on and different opinions were given, we were im pressed with the deep wisdom of the words of Billy Hughes Every one of them deserves a tlue ribbon." This afternoon the fourth heat, which yesterday was declared a draw, will be trotted by "Norwood" and St. Nicholas," To-day winds up the most successful fair that has ever been known in this section.

IIoijlinqbeky, 121 Massachusetts street, Lawrence. John Marshall, a Scotchman by birth, about seventy years of age, died on Monday night, in an old shed on the St. Joseph Exposition grounds. He went to that city during its exposition, in charge of a number of horses exhibited there by Mr. Ben.

City Country. In New York city a respectable family pays fl, 500 annually for rent of a house. A physician charges from three to five dollars for a single visit and fumi-hes no medicine. In the country it frequently requires a long ride and great inconvenience to obtain a physician, and when found he maj not be able to procure the proper remedies. The most remarkable and unfailing remedy the world has ever seen, and one which is Indorsed by all physicians, is now placed within the reach of every family, where it can always be kept for immediate use.

Danger arises from delay. One dollar or fifty cents inve- ted in Centaur Liniment will last a family a year. There is no pain which it will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue, wound it will not heal, or lameness it will not cure. It heals burns without a scar, and renders the bites of snakes and stings of bees innoxious.

Joseph'Savage also had his corner there, piled with fruits that it was worth more than the price of admission to the fair to look at. In his display were fine specimens of the "Thompson County King," Missouri Pippins," "Sweet Bough and "Northern Spy." There was in this building many rare lots of fruits and vegetables, the owners of which we could not find, and whose names were not known, and consequently, but with regret, we must pass them without mention. There were three lots of vegetables, the owners of which could not be found.

Those vegetables were good enough to have men standing by and talking about them all the time. There was a large display of bread, and of bread and cake baked by girls under twelve years of age. Outside this second building, just to the east, is the thaw of POULTRY of all kinds, colors and sizes. There were feathered animals of such beauty and proportions as to call forth the admiration of all who looked at them. There is a fine lot of minister's chickens, known (the chickens) by their yellow legs, and also a fat, forty pound turkey, worthy to grace the most high-toned Thanksgiving dinner that man or woman ever devised.

This turkey came from Bell's Valley Vine stock farm. In the building devoted to MISCrLLAHraCS DESKCjATB, II. rn Crrt ttt etrrtr-? cV V' 1 i.
