What Chairman Thompson Says About BOUND TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS—nOW THE CAP- Trot. WILL BE TRANSFORMED—OUTSIDE AT- TRACTIONS, “What is the prospect for the success of the fair?” was the question put by a Star reporter yesterday to the chairman of the Garfield mon- ment committee, Mr. John W. Thompson, as he sat in his oMce in the bank. Shoving aside Some papers on his desk, Mr. Thompson wheeled about in his chatr,and, facing the questioner,satd, in his quick, decided manner: “It will bea great success in my opinion, and there is no reason Bow apparent why it should not be. I just re- ceived a letter this morning from a firm who asked for space to exhibit some of their articles. These applications are coming in daily, end have been for some time.

The fact Is, that it is to be one of the most artistic exhibi- tions ever given in this country. It is the aim to make it 30, in order that it may be worthy of the occasion and afford the immense throng of Visitors something that will repay them for their outlay of time and trouble.” A BIG ChoWD EXPECTED. “Do you think that there will be a big crowd here?” interjected the reporter. “I certainly do,” was the decided response, | “and it ts perfectly THE SCARCITY OF BUTTER OF THE FINER GRADES— FRUIT AND CHESTNUTS—CHANGES DURING THE PAST WEEK. Some changes have taken place in the condi- tion of the city markets since last week. While the flour and grain market is dull, the prices are yet frm, with few movements except In a small way. Good grades of flour are mostly wanted ; mediums not so much fin demand. New corn and oats meet with a ready sale. The hay trade is brisk, the best kinds being in demand and at good prices. Much of the hay ralsed in the sur- rounding country Is in, for market by the careless manner In which It Is cured. In some cases it is allowed to stand too long after ripen- ing before being cut; in other cases, when pal tially made, the rain or dew is allowed to fall on it, turning it from the healthy natural green color to a dirty dark color, and frequently it be- comes musty or mouldy. ‘Too little attention is given by farmers in curing hay, resulting in a depreciation In market value, SCARCITY OF FINE BUTTER. In the butter trade the fine goods are scarce and high; goods—medium grades—are more In demand during the scarcity of the best kinds. Prices are expected to rule higher in future. The poor grades are dull.

Special Correspondence of Tar Eveyine Star. New York, November 10. At last society people are beginning to return to town, leaving only a small contingent at Newport, Lennox and the jolly iiftie watering places along Long Island. The weddings at Newport have kept people there beyond the usual time. It was formerly the custom to be married in town whenever it was possible, but now tt would seem to be the swell thing to enter the holy bonds at Newport. One thing is certain—the weddings In America’s most aristo- cratic watering place are far more beautiful than In New York. The churches or chapels are beautifully decorated with flowers, the ladies wear elaborate out-door costumes, and there is an entire absence of the vulgar crowd of which we hear so many complaints at New York wed- dings. Fashionable people are becoming more and more exclusive every year and resent the (bees of what @ ‘sublime little ass in the nickerbocker Club has the impertenance to call “commoners.” Only a few years ago and any respectably dressed man or woman felt quite justified in wandering into a church at a wedding and seating herself. Now, everything is changed, and only those whose clothing stamps them as members of the extremely fash- ionable guild are admitted. The less preten- tious people are stared at by the ushers when batt present themselves at the door and asked coldly what they want. Ifthis does not repel them they are told that it ‘was hoped to make the affair somewhat exclusive.” So they are driven out and the swells smile contented| because no “commoners” are present. The fest vities at Lennox this autunm are even yet strong enough in their attractions to keep a respecta- ble number of New Yorkers out of town. Ger- mans, garden parties and musicales are the principal amusements. The season in towh promises to be the most brilliant we have ever seen. It is formally opened by the commence- ment of the opera season and set in motion by an opening series of public and private balls, wrand receptions and small tea parties, F. 0. D. 0. Speaking of ‘“‘sassiety” matters reminds me that the social world here ts shaken to its axis by the intense and bitter conflict between thé F.C. D. C. and the Small and Early. As all of the English-speaking world undoubtedly knows, the Family Circle Dancing Class is the pet pro- tege of his aristocratic niba, Mr. Ward McAllister. The F. C. D.C. has prided itself upon its balls at Delmonico’s heretofore and believed that it had gained so much prestige and position that nothing else of the kind could ever liye in New York. Hence, It became somewhat careless, and in the person of Mr. Ward MeAllls- ter sent invitations to no less than five highly improper and utterly common people. These persons appeared at the final ball of the F.C.D.C.last season and became very | obnoxious to a number of the best people there. | One of the tabooed was dressed and acted in | such very bad form that he attracted untversal | attention. It was subsequently ascertained | that he was a tailor’s clerk, and a very disagree- ableone at that. This was too much for the more exclusive element, aud agreat commotion was raised, followed by a “split,” which took the form of an opposition organization to be known as the Small and Early. The ladies who organiz opposition to the famous and aged F. . are Mrs. Francis R. Rives, Mrs. Henry Chapman, Mrs. Griswold Gray and Mrs, Adrian Iselin, "They haye issued invitations fora “cotillion” series of balls and are over- | ed with applications for admission to | the new dancing ciub. As soon as a thing gets ureputation for exclusiveness In| New York,, | every man, woman and child struggles to get | into it.

MR. NEWMAN'S SENSATION. The Key. Dr. John P. Newman, whose con- gregations are as large here as they were in Washington, created a sensation last Sunday by preaching a sermon in favor of the theory of Spiritualism. Some of the members of the con- ztegation were startled by the position he took. The spiritualists present, however, w lighted in finding such a champlon. Gen.

This time, however; it has nothing to do with her clergymen, or reveals no hidden scandals. The simple facts are that a quiet and well bred English lady, named Mrs. Langtry, visited the Park Theater in Brooklyn and took a seat un- obtrusively inthe rear of the house. A short time after her entrance she was discovered by the Brooklyn “ladies,” who first stared her out of countenance, then rose while the play was in progress and, turning their backs upon the stage, levelled their opera glasses directly in her face and finally crowded up the aisle to the place where she sat—very much embarrassed and unquestionably alsgusted—and were so ex- tremely rude that the ushers tried to clear a passage for the lady to escape. The women in the gallery being unable to see, rushed down stairs and Joined the other curious creatures until the lady—and I fear she was almost the only lady there—was absolutely driven from the theater. This happened in the year of our Lord. 1882, and within a mile of New York. ABOUT STOCKINGS. T have several times written about stockings. The subject ts one that fills me with thoughts, and I find the utmost difficulty in restratning myself from holding forth at lengthon the beau- ties of modern hosiery. 1 go so far as to assert that in thisIam not alone. The bald-headed brigade of the century is with me, and men of all nations feel the same glow of happiness that animates me when gazing at stockings—I of course assume that sald stockings are not un- tenanted. I have learned much in reference to hosiery in a conversation with a bland and cheerful man who presides over the destinies ot the stocking department of one of the most prominent of our dry goods houses. Stockings have never played so conspicuous a part in a lady’s tollet as to-day, as they are chosen now not only with the idea of being w but aiso of being seen and admired. They are depended on to give the finishing touch to the dress, and are of yast import- ance in the modiste’s calculations. Ladies unhesitatingly pay from 30 to #45 a pair for fine hosiery, and thonmost delicate of the many patterns bring even higher prices. Stockings hat sell for $8, #10 or $15 a pair are disposed | of in very large quantities, and cause very slight | remark among women of fashion. The firm I speak of also does a very heavy business in im- porting stockings, which are made to order for American patrons in Europe. The custom of having the coat-of-arms or monogram worked in gold shreds on the instep of the stocking is now quite general. American women fully ap- preciate the fact that they have the most beanti- ‘al feet in the world, snd © no expense in adorning their ‘distinctively famous featur: appropriately. The fashion of wearinz Diepy slippers may be traced directly to the desire women to show the w iS h of the stoe! ing as possible. Black stockings ar: just now.

Andrew Tappan, of Jericho, N. Y., was asked recently if it was true that he had not slept a wink for six months. “I saw an item to that effect,” he repiied, ‘a good many times last week and the week before. My father, George Tappan, is the postmaster at Jericho, and one of the county papers printed an item some weeks ago saying that he had been in poor health for six months, and that he was not able to sleep much. The next we knew some one sent us a lot of papers containing the news that he hadn't slept any for six months, and that the case was attracting the attention of physictans. Then the papers got it that I was the man. It wasn’t long after we got the first paper until some one wrote us that the way to go to sleep was to eat plenty of turnips for ‘fast and supper three or four days in succession. Another man wrote that cloves were good to make a man sleep if eaten in quantities at Intervals of an hour or two, while another wrote that it I would lie on my back and roll my eyes from one side to the ot They long enough I'd go to sleep without fall. were all remedies, but neither my father nor I have tried them.

The crush at Wallack’s Theater on Monday night to see Mrs. Langtry make her first appear- ance has been repeated every night this week.
