THE DAILY BER--COUNCIL BLUFFS FAIR SIGHTS. Crowds Begin i;unrifi( in Prom All Directions, A Fine Exhibition and Rare Sport on the Turf, Folks—The Programme for To-Day. The weather was fine for the fair yes- terdag, which waa really the opening day of what has every indication of proving the best exhibition ever given in this part of the country. Every train coming into the city brought scores upon scores of visitors, while at an early hour teams began rolling in the folks from tho ad. jacent country. The city itself prese! ted Jlively appearanco. Moat of the mer. Chants have ospecially decorated their Buildings and arranged their show win- dows. vory attractively for fair week. , WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1883. The sidewalks were thronged, street cars crowded, while still dense crowds gath- 2|ced about the street corners, where striking machines and yarious venders plnuws(thuir stands and set their bait for suckers at an early hour. A large tent show pitched its canvas 2| on ‘acant lots and added its highly col- ored and sensational banners and senta- tional pictres to draw a crowd. Thore were visible a good many crooks and sneaks about_the strects, and the public will do well to look well to their pocketbooks and firesides. All was bustle, stir and activity, and at an early hour there was a stream of people and_teams pouring toward the fair grounds. On tho grounds there was the np'penr. ance of a lictlo city itself, dressed for u zudn day, Many of tho exhibitors were putting finshing touches vpon their dis- plays, while crowds of visitors wandered From pluce to place, dwelling upon such features of the display as particularly in- terested them. i wniting for the more exciting sport of the afternoon. THE EXPOSITION BUILDING in very attractive, outsido and inside. 1t is one of the finest buildings inthe state, and when in holiday trim 18 certainly a beauty, Among the merchants who have displays of wares and goods are J. Mueller, Metcalf Bros., Beebe & Co., Cooper & McGee, De Vol & Wright, H. . Seaman, W. W. Chapman, M. J. Michacls, Casady & Orcutt, Harkness Bros., Mauer & Craig, J. M. Phillips, Oliver & Graham, E. Stockerd, J. J. Good, H. Fuedman, Burnham & Son, Walters Bros., E. Knabe, and others, thus presenting a great variety of goods, and l‘le booths were never so tastily trimmed, and goods displayed so _attrac- tively. " Columbin has a fine showing of ol paintings, mostly portraits, from his studio. Tln-{ are excellent. The floral display is a bower of beauty, while there is a bewilderment of fancy needlework, pictures, and other articles, tht products of home. THB SHOW OF FRUIT is romarkable, and the Jong tables, with the plates of apples, pears, plums, eote., the bunches of luscious grapes, the deco- rations of flowers and plants, mude the exhibition one of the most Fluuing and attractive of all. ‘The display is under the wise management of A. 5. Bonham, There was a happy gathering of youn; folks at the roi .‘:’.i. of Mr. ':n! Mug. John Epeneter Monday night, entertained milwn and daughter Gustave and i ie. Refreshments were abun- dant, an erry dance was heldiin the new building just erected by Mr. Epenoter as a cornice factory. Col. E. R. George resigned the posi- tion of steward of the Ogden house a -while ago, but_the resignation did not tuke effoct until yesterday, when Mr. P. M. Copeland, of Cedar Rapids, Towa, as- sumed the dutien of that position. Mr. Copeland is well known to the hotel pub- lic and will doubtless make a popular steward. In the presence of a few relatives and intimete friends of the contracting par- ties, assembled at the residence of P and Mrs. Wim. Moore, 267 Sonth Seventh street, Rev. Father McMenomy joined in marrisge Mr. Oscar Kiplinger and Miss Lizzie Colbert. Mrs, Riplmgar is @ sis- ter of Moore, and the groom is well known as a popular salesman in the em- ploy of J. L. Forman, HENDRIUAD MIMSELF, Hurrah for “nilden and Keform." Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks of Indiana, who was never vice president of the U. 8., addressed » fair audience yesterday morning in Boyliss park. Mr. Hen- dricks is fine appearing gentleman, and is a good talker. But he appeared to © reaching after the unattainable. The long desired object he subsequently ex- yplained was political offices for the demo- cratic , and the consequent hand- ling of the funds of the nation. Of course Mr. Hendricks touched on the tariff fllelfion, All political speakers do. He, like all the others, was in fayor of a reduction ef taxation, not a sudden wviolent reduction, but a persistent grad- wal reduction. Not to say anything in . Towa which he might be obliged to re- tract in Pensylvania, caused him to hesi- tate a little, but he finally explained that he was in faver of revenue laws, that ‘would provide sufticient money to car on the government, and would foster American institutions, but would bear east on the laboring class, and would Thave no tendency to build up monopoly. These are the views held, as expressed by all politicians now-a-days. ‘Mr. Hendricks has not’ forgotten the war cry of 1876, and if there was one thing he wanted more than any other, it was *‘reform,” Tilden and reform is good, but Hendricks and reform is better, There wasone expression that is worthy of heing recorded, He said an American itizen is jealous of bis rights, and among the rights which he is willing to defend with his life if wecessary, is the right to vote a8 he chooses, without intimidation, and without the corrupting influence of ney. Oue’ of the bitterest complaints he amade against the republican party was in ubstauce that they bought too mgny dewmocratic votes in Indiana in 1880. _He also dwelt on the prohibition ques- tion, and of course isa radical temper- ance man, but not a prohibitionist, just the fame as other democrat'c speakers. Mr. Hendricks :]: do:lln made himself more with democrats thau he was Mm The U. P. band discoursed vcry fine amusic before and after the speech. I —— Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pearl strect. Mrs. Prouty and Miss Rich. The dis- play of apples from Mr. L, Prouty's orch- ard is excellent, there being 20 varieties. The nursery display made by H. 0. Ray- mond, embraces 650 varioties of apples. Weis & Mair, of the Hillside nursery, ex- hibit 100 varieties of apples, 40 of grapes, and several of pears and plums, and all this fruit was grown in the city of Coun- cil Blufis, except one plate "of apples grown near the asylum. This is pretty good evidence- that Council Blutls can, and Towa can raiso fruit, and the best nd of fruit, too. All who have seen the exhibit and who have seen the fruit exhibit at Des Moines, pronounce this|y by far the test. A. C. Graham shows very fine grapes, and others are also worthy of attention. GRAINS AND VEGRTABLES aro plentifully exhibited. L. A. Cooper has a large showing for his Council Bluffs gardens. .

Rocky ‘Mountain Tom took the lead, with Toronto Maid and Lucy B Struggling for second Rlncn, followed by Lorene, and Glenwood bringing up the rear. In coming in Lucy B came to the front and won the heat in 2:304, Rocky Mountain Tom second, Lorene third, Glenwood fourth, and Toronto Maid fifth.

Penman's Tin THE 'HARIOT RACE, one of which is to be given every day, was sandwiched in between other races, and proved quite an attraction, four horses attached to each of the chariots, one of whichwas driven by Nellie Burke She was beaten by her male cowpetitor, but not badly, and the time was given as two minutes. As a novelty race ivpleased the crowd greatly. THE RUNNING RACE. In this there were four starters: Tra Platner’s Dawn of Day, Fayette Smith's Atwood, P. E. Leffier's Black Prince, and 8. C. Williaws’ Ella Rowett. Tt was mile dash, $200, and was very neatly tun. Dawn of Day took the lead, At- woud following Ella Rowett and Black Prince. The horses kept closely bunched the entire distance, and Atwood won in 1:45}, Ella Rowett coming in second, Dawn of Day third, and Black Prince fourth. THE FREE-FOR-ALL PACING. The entries in this were Belle Mahone, Sailor Boy, Limber Jack, Silver Tail, Billy Scott, Frank, and Garey Owens. There were four starters, placed as fol- lows: Limber Jack, Billy Scott, Sailor Boy, and Belle Mahone. In the first heat th:re was very little time wasted in ucurinii, the horses getting aspeedy send- off. The heat was neatly paced. Lim- ber Jack led of for the start, thei being protty well strung_along, Belle Mahouo trailing behind The heat was won by Limber Jack in 2:243, Billy scott second, Sailor Boy third, Belle Mahone fourth. The second heat was even a betterone. On the send off Limber Jack sprang to the front, but broke badly and fell back, Billy Scott taking the lead, Sailor Boy closo onto him, and soon sailing ahead. Limber Jack did some good work, but was not able to come to the front, Sailor Boy winning the heat, Limber Jack sec- ond, Billy Scott third, Belle Mahone fourth; time 2:23}. ‘'ne third heat was somewhat of a sen- sational one, A fine start was had, and Limber Jack was leading, with Billy Scott close onhim, Mahone and Sailor Boy following, Sailor Boy pushed ahead, but there not being enough room between Limber Jack and Billy Scott, Sailor Boy climbed onto Limber Jack, smashing one of the latter’s wheel and bringing him to a standstill, Billy Scott came 1n first, Belle Mahone second, Sailor Boy third and Limber Jack was given fourth. Time 2:26). The judges decided that it was an accident for which no one was to blame and they were all allowed to start again and distance was named. The fourth heat was an exciting one after the tedious scoring was brought to an end by an excellent start. Limber Jack led, followed by Billy Scott, Sailor Boy and Belle Mahone. On the second quarter Sailor Boy pushed to the second place, and at_the half milo had taken the lead and held it to the finish, winningthe heat in 2:22}, Limber Jack second, Billy Scott third and Belle Muhone fourth. over 10 feet in height, and went about six tons to the acre. The exhibition is a reminder of the early days, when this varicty of grass was waving in the valley s0 dense as to conceal approaching horse- men. 1. B. Kissell has a fine vegetable show which he brought from the Des Moines fair, There is some fine corn shown by James Rainbow. FARM MACHINERY was very plentiful, Coyncil Bluffs being one of the greatest distributing points in the whole country for this class of busi- ness, is able of itself to get up a big show, with sach houses as Van Brunt, %hnmp son & Co., E, Shugart Implement Co., Deero & Co., and others, Then there are & number of exhibitors from else- where. Carriages, wagons and all com- bined to mal the spaces all well taken, One thing was a little remarkable, With all the showing of agricultural ma- chinery, there was not ono thrashing ma- chine on the grounds. THE STOCK SHOW is very good. There are net many sheep. 1y | but those shown are excellent. There are many good horses and about 100 head of cattlo, which are very good. Theyare mostly shorthorns. The awards in this department will be made to-day. HORSES FROM FRANCE, Charles E. Humbert, of Corning, lowa, has here four as fine stallions as were ever displayed at any western fair, They are Percheron Normans, of which he is a well known importer and broeder. His last importation _arrived only a fow days ago direct from France, and one of these is here, it being & three-year-old, nearly eighteen hauds high and weighing about 1,800 pounds, The horses certainly merit the attention of all who visit the fair. THE BACES, The 2:40 race was called first. The am- {flnl]lmwu were'well filled, one of them heing specially devoted to children. A, G. Hancock, of Kansas City served as starter in the races. U. O.
