TK2 THIRD DAY A SUCCESS.
Th Fine ?tock Exhibit th Best
Ever Witnessed In tha County.
-Every Stall Occupied.
Excellent Display By Plattsmouth
and Foreign Business Houses.
A Largs Crowd To-day.
From 1 huruay' D.iily.
This, the Twentv-fecond iiuuual fair of
the oldest settlers of the county who
Uiave been members of the aitikultr.ral
society since its organization, the most
successful of their expositions. The uew
grounds, which can be reached conven
iently from every quarter, are now in
35rst-clas3 condition in every respect. The
city nas been crowded with visitors each
day, so, from all appearances, the mau
agetnent deserve ereat credit for bring
ing it into such prominence and making
it an attraction which will aid the city in
-.many ways.
The work in preparing the rac; course
"for the accommodation of fast drivers
lias absorbed much of the finances of the
driving park association, but the track is
now equal to any :n the state. All horse
men report favorably of it, and from all
appearances it could not be much im
proved. The grand stand, which is sub
stantially built at the west side of the
course, is sufficiently large cuoughtoseat
from four to five hundred people, and i
built iu such a way that a satisfactory
view can be had of ail the races.
A lar agricultural hall has been
erected on the grounds, and withia the
last two weeks an urt hall has also been
built which adds much to the appearance
of things. The building is octagonal iu
shape, with a winding stair in the center
reaching the top where a platform is
built for the baud. The buildings is
about sixty feet iu height and a delight
ful view of the grounds and surrouuding
country cau be had from the too.
A sufficient number of stalls nud pens
have been erected ou the grounds for the
accomodation of all stock which will be
exhibited at auy time. Tcu additional
tUlls have been erected since the cpen
ias of the fair to cjpply the dermoid.
The art hall, which all thought would
bo Bufficiectly large to accommodate the
busioets mcu and other;, here, has found
ready applicants for every vacant btund
and everything is filled. The following
firms of this city, aud others au- repre
sented there:

tks well for their good tn.-te,
A crazy (juill made by u link; gill 11
years old attracted the attention of many
admirers.
Mirs Hirdie Irih has a di.-'play of tine
oil ;aint:ngs which ( xhibit a lare ability
in that style of van i:.
Miss L-elia Tiiomas has spec imons of
her painting on exhibition. The work,
for the kind, is superior to any we have
seen in the city, and we congratulate her
on her excellent talent Mr. Ciias.
Whitney has several paintings in the same
stand which rhow a talent for s-uch work
which cannot be much excelled. lie has
never had any instructions, and the work
looks perfect.
Last but not least, we noticed work
from the needle of Grandma Todd,
mother of A. B. Todd. Among several
other articles which we much admired
were crazy epiiits which she must have
worked em for months to comjiltte. They
were the handsomest we have seen.
In the agricultural hall, th:; fruit dis
play excelled all others, and was a credit
to the exhibitors.
Tii? stock on thft grounds far sur
passed that on any exhibition of any
previous fair.
