He noticed his loss on leaving the train, and then remembered that Charles Rosenthal, the newsboy on the train, had brushed against him several times to the car. >,He swore out a warrant before Recorder Moore and telegraphic Instructions were sent to Whitehall to hold Rosenthal at that place, whSoh was done. Chief Butler left last even- ing to secure (the prisoner, anld wlill return this morning. Mr. Gillmore says that he suspected Rlasenthal at once when he discoTered the mxxaef qarly in the morning that it would be impossible to have any races as so much rain had fallen as to make the track ankle deep in mud. But the grand stand was thrown open to the crowd and all who wished to went on the stand and enjoyed the program that was provided for them. Mile. Nellie Wilson gave a novel perform- ance on the. trapeze, introducing sen- sational feats in mid-air, one>-fooi' swings and bewildering dives into space. Lowan.de & Wilson gavie a mar- velous exhibition of skill on the dou- ble trapeze, and Moos. Lowande gave a performance with the educated pony "Joe" and the riding dog "Jack," which greatly pleased the. children. The balloon ascension and parachute Jump by Prof. Leo Stevens, was one of the best exhibitions of this kind ever seen on the grounds. Floral Hall never looked prettier than it does this year, and taking it as a whole, the display of articles this year is unsurpassed. Carroll, Bull & Co., have a very pretty display of fur- nitura including chairs, tables and brass bedsteads, which is a credit to them as well as to the fair. W. H. Coats, the well known music dealer of this village has a fine exhibition of musical instruments, comprising pianos, organs, banjos, mandolins and guitars. In fact, the Hall is well sup- plied with musical instruments, as Mc- Kannon Bros, and Bailey's Music Rooms of Burlington both have fine exhibits. Col. H. W. Hall is in charge cf the Bailey exhibition, and he is as- sisted by Mrs Cannon, pianist, and Mr. T. J. St. Antoine, salesman. Among the,ir instruments is an auto- matic piano that is attracting much attention. Henry, Wood & M a r ^ l l have a well selected display of useful articles in the hardware line. Their display is among the best in the Hall. Promley & Demeritt have a display of their fine candies. One of the very prettiest exhibits in the; Hall is the dis- play of shoes made by Girard & Byrnes. John Jandrow, of this vil- lage, exhibits several pieces of wrought iron work, among which are a table, a wash stand and a small work*, stand, that are; very cleverly made. The ex- hibits of drawing and writing by the pupils of the piiblic schools under tne direction of the drawing teacher, Miss Jennie Stiles, is very interesting, as is also a similar exhibit by the pupils of Miss Augustin's kindergarten. The fancy work department la so crowded that it has been very hard to arrange the many pretty articles, but Mr. S. K. Ryan and Miss Alida Moore, the superintendents, have done re- ir>arkably well in their hard task of pleasing both exhibitors and specta- tors. The millinery exhibit by Miss Flora Con way is unusually pretty, and the ladies are wont to stop and take a long, lingering look as thoy walk slow- ly by. The men hurry by it. They have vivid memories of those awful milliner's bills and it's most time for a winter bonnet, too. The show of vegetables this year is even better than usual, and is well worth seeing. A. PI. Manning, of Lap- ham, has a fine display of vegetable?, including carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, cabbages, cucumbers, musk- melons and celery, and the display by the Lavigne Fruit Farm, of Pitts- burgh, is equally good. The last nam- ed also haa a fine exhibit of grapes. The showing of dairy and factory but- ter is A No. 1, while the cheiese exhibit is especially good. The Smithdale fac- tory took first premium, and B. S. Ar? nold's Peru factory second premium on cheese. In Poultry Hall, which ia again an- der the competent wamg$m.mt of Mr> Willis L. Wever, the display is not as large ait usual, bnt the fowls arc of a very superior order.' Among t*w nota- ble exhibits iff this Hail, ia t&at of Raacoe it Bressett, of this Tillage, wno that one gets oblivious among such a bewilderment of articles. If this thing is to grow from year to year, the man- agement will have to change the building or discriminate in the entries. The latter method is perhaps the best one to adopt. This is not spoken in any spirit of fault finding towards the society or the exhibitor, but in the best interests of both parties. The time has come when the lines, should be drawn so that new things and those never before entered should be the ones allowed to compete for premiums. Tbis work should have the preference, else there is small incentive to labor in this line. Of course, it is always pleasant to see old friends even in pic- tures, and the beautiful results of brush or needle, and one recognizes them with a throb of weAcome, but it is hardly fair to have, them crowd ont newer aspirants to favor—is it If a change could be brought about It jwould prove an all-around benefit. (This is a little 'preliminary- kindly criticism that we are sure none will ake offense at. • * We can hope to give only a general cliea of the exhibit in Art Hall, which is certainly more beautiful than eve: iefore. The water colors from n!atur< are unusually numerous and more than usually fine. The same may bi said of the oil paintings, portraits, animals, flowers and landscapes, both from nature and from copy. The embroidery and lace work is ex- quisite and must be seen to bfe appre- ciated. The hand painted China is dainty and beautiful enough to cai ture the housewife's heart who d< lights in china, of which there Is large display. Floral Hall, too, is richer than evei in its exhibit of silk quilts, embroider- ed afghans, rugs, knit and chrocheted bed spreads, etc., and the criticisi also applies here as in Art Hall. The flower exhibit is a very attrac- tive part of Floral Hall. Mrs. \Albert Calkins and•• Mrs! Rufus Caflkins, of Plattsburgh, for unprofessionals, arc to be congratulated over their beauti- ful displays of dahlias, geraniums, asters, verbenas, pansies, etc. The floral designs were very artistic in ar- rangement. .Corroborative of this opinion, were a number of cards de- noting first and second premiums. Florist Cook had a large and hand- some exhibit in plants and cut flowers many things, especially to mothers and '• • , pany or Oj&cials of the esonpany, teachers.

One thing was conclusively prove] in this village yesterday beyond a! doubt, and that is that you can't keep people from coming to the Plattsburgh fair. Neither a heavy, steady down- pour of rain nor roads knee deep ii mud will keep them at home durin, the. week of the Clinton County Fair In spite of the disagreeable weather yesterday, the people came into town from every direction. Every train that arrived was crowded with fair- goers, the boats brought thousands oi people from Burlington, Grand Isle, and other points on thie lake, and then the highways leading to Plattsburgh from all points of the compass were fairly lined with teams, so that by two o'clock yesterday afternoon, there were between 12,000 and 15,000 people on the grounds. And they had a good tim< in spite of the weather, for after tw< o'clock it did not rain hard enough to hurt anybody, and although the races could not be run off on account of the mud, there was a good program oi spejcial attractions to keep the crowc good natured. The balloon ascensioi took place at 4 o'clock and an accideni was narrowly averted. When Prof. Stevens, the aeronaut with the balloon, had reached a height of five or six hundred feet, the balloon split open and the hot air began to escape very rapidly. The crowd was just begin- ning to wonder what he would do ir case the west wind carried him oui over the lake, when he cut loose witl his parachute, which quickly opene< and he came to the ground just outsidi the fair grounds back of the horse shods. The balloon will be repaired this forenoon and the daring aeronaut will go up again to-day. THE EXHIBIT OF THE PU1 SCHOOLS. Thle public schools and the commer- cial department deserve more than passing notice; for they are close t( tbe hearts of the people. No mon valuable exhibit in point of meaninc was shown at tbe fair. It was larger better and more complete than lasi year. In this, too, the drawing, pen- manship and color work were alik creditable to teachers and pupils, tell ing the story of careful teaching an painstaking application. Misa Stiles and Mr. Robertson and thie pupils ar« to be congratulated over the result FAIR NOTES. —Among tha worfld of things at- tracting attention in Floral Hall thi year are some handsome, substantial home-made rugs, the tickets on- them saying, "made by an old man," which really imakes them inteneating.
