PULL REPORT.
FIRST DAY.
i?.
From "Wednesdnv Morning's Dally.
As we go to press, the State Fair Is
merely commencing, and yet, the ex
hibition, entries, and attendance are al
ready far beyond tlie entire alFair ev
er heretofoe. The entries and exhi
bition are not coufinod to our own
State. There are products, animals,
and works of art on exhibition from
Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, North
Carolina and Massachusetts. Even
the "old country," Scotland an En
glandare represented. The finest
show of thorough-bred cattle and
hogs, we venture to say, are on exhi
bition ever seen together ia the west.
The fruit exhibition is tine; fully sus
taining the reputation of the State.
We notice some fruit from North-Carolina,
Massachusetts and New York.
No pains or means have been spared
in arranging the Grounds and Halls.
Everybody, exhibitors, ofiicers, and
citizens are in good humor, and all
vieing with each other to make this
Fair the grand event of the State.
The weather is all that our people
could have wished or prayed for.
Streets and environs leading to the
grounds in good condition, and nil
the signs are propitious for a pleasant
and profitable occasion.
We will furnish our readers with
full details, and hope to be able to lay
before them an account of which
"old Nemaha" and the "Junior
State" may well be proud.
But en passant, a few words about
Fairs. When it is remembered that
Agriculture, as a business, lies at the
very foundation of all civilization, it
is exceedingly gratifying to .see the
growing interest everywhere mani
fested in organizing Fairs county,
State and National thus bringing to
gether all the best products of the
country in friendly competition for
such premiums as may be offered.
And the interest in lairs is every
where on the increase. Nor is this to
be wondered at, for every one has a
common interest in the business of
agriculture. What would manufac
turing or any other mechanical art,
or commerce be without agriculture
to rest upon as a chief support? A
manufacturing town or commer
cial eitv could not exist, even for a
short period, without ah organized
and efficient agricultural system to
rest upon. And while it is true "that
agriculture, manufacturing and com
merce, go hand in hand, and support
each other, it is yet a fact that agri
culture leads the trio in importance,
and would under any aud all circum
stances, ba indispensable to the exis
tence of the other two systems.
It has been said that "he who makes
two blades of grass grow where but
one grew before is a public benefac
tor." It is on the same principle, a
public benefit when a citizen intro
duces a breed of hogs, horses, sheep,
or cattle of such excellence that at a
given age, with a certain amount of
labor, care and feed, excess of weight,
beauty, worth aud importance over
breed? previously known, results.
The same principle, of course, holds
good with all other, kinds of live
stock, and all kinds of farm products.
The first day of any fair is usually
regarded as a day of preparation mere
ly; accordingly, on reaching the
grounds yesterday morning, we were
not at all snrprised to find the exhi
bition incomplete. The officers of the
association however, as well as the
exhibitors of stock and produce and
the holders of refreshment booths
were all hard at work. Numberless
wagons "were being unloaded; floral
hall was being filled with choice con-j
tributions and handsomely decorated;
carpeutera tools were in constant re
quisition an all parts of the grounds
and the note of preparation was ring'r
ing everywhere. The gates had
scarcely been open an hour when it
was discovered that the accommoda
tions for live stock were insufficient,
whereupon, the president immedi
ately sent into town for a supply of
lumber, and the ground was laid out
for the erection of addition stalls.
The display of hogs promises to be
very creditable as the pens are rapid
ly filling up with choice specimens of
all the favorite breeds, and the Cash
mere sheep belonging to Col. Furnas
will certainly attract general atten
tion. Mr.' R. D. Simpson of Nebraska Ci-J
ly is a large comrunupi; l we uispiay
of live stock, He'has between forty
and fifty head of horses, Jacks and
colts, among which we notice particu
larly the following: "Wild -Russiaa,"
a magnificent draught stallion, sired
by the English imported horse "Per
former" out of "Merrylegs:" The
sire of "Performer" according to the
English Turf Eegister was "Rob
Hoy" and his dam the celebrated
"Black Bess." "Wild Russian" was
eight years old last spring, stands 17
hands high in his 'stocking-soles,
weighs 1,600 pounds, and is altogeth-
erone of the .finest specimens of horse
fissh we have seen for a long time.
pin Simpson afso exhibits a fine trot
ting horse, named "Lightfoot," sired
by David Hill's Morgan stallion
"Blackhawk," out of a Hiimbleton
lan and Messenger mare. "Light-
fpot" does his mile in 2:52 easily. In
his collection, also are a thoroughbred
Maltese Jack and many other speci
mens which will be noticed more
fully, together with the pther stock
on exhibition, after the premiums
having been awarded.
The dispIa3T of Agricultural Imple
ments promises to be very large, but
these will be noticed hereafter, when
all the entries have been made and
the premiums awarded.
. The programme of to-day, which
will be found on the nextpage, is
highly attractive, and, doubtless, will
call together a large concourse of peo
ple. The opening event will be the
address of Senator Tipton, which will
be delivered at 10,A. m This will be
followed by the exhibition of stock
in the arena, and in the-pens.
SECOND DAY.
From Thursday Morning's Dally.
To make words, sentences, para
graphs and columns, in reporting a
Fair, what is on exhibition, who are
the exhibitors, &c, is a very easy and
simple thing, but to present a report
founded upon actual impressions and
divested of favoritelsm, which, when
in type, so reflects the Fair that those
in attendance will recognize and en
dorse it, is not quite so easy, but ac
tually taxes the powers and ingenui
ty of adepts.
It has been the province of the wri
ter to visit many Fairs, County, State,
and.National, in the capacity of re
porter. Last year we had the pleas
ure of attending the Kansas State
Fair, holden at Fort Scott, nnd when
we say that the Fair now in session
in this city far exceeds in interest,
and excels In substantial importance,
that of our sister State, we but SAy
what we would willingly swear to or
affirm. Nor are we, in this reference
or comparison, endeavoring to make
an odious comparison or distinction,
inasmuch as the Kansas exposition
was one worthy the character and
flattering to the pride of that noble
commonwealth. It is but a few yeare
.since Nebraska was located by white
men ; since it presented to man's vis
ion the same appearance it did to the
Almighty, when He took from it His
creative fingers. And, even now, the
face of the red-skin is not unfamiliar,
while the'bison, which, like the hu
man Bavnge, recedes but as civiliza
tion advances, yet cavorts within our
confines. How strange, then, to those
unacquainted with., our resources',
when they stand in the presence of
vegetables and fruit grown upon this
soil, which would take"premiums iir
a World's Fair, and see stock repre
senting the best breeds known to the
stock dealers of this or any other
country? .. ..
Yesterday's sun shown warm and
benignly upont gladsome and high
ly elated people. Our streets were,
at an early hour, thronged with
teams, men, women and children,
and before the hour of ten the spa
cious Fair grounds were thronged
with visitors. Nor were Nebfaski
ans alone and permitted to form
themselves iulo a mutual admiration
society. Not only were the neigh
boring States represented, but
representatives from States reach
ing toward tne wuit ana rjoraer
Ing on the Atlantic- were with us
More than this, citizens of foreign
countries we're here who were not
backward in acknowledging the mer
it attaching to Nebraska as an Agri
cultural and Pomologicalcenter, and
conceding to us the importance right
fully belonging to us. Among oth
ers we must not neglect to mention
Wm. H. Hay ward, Esq., of England,
accompanied by two English la
dy tourists. Mr. Hayward's name
is familiar to .most of our peo
ple as our State Agent in England,
and through whose efforts many hun
dreds have. crossed the ocean and. as
similated with us.
It Is not oar aim or intent to dis
criminate in favor or to the prejudice
of any competitors, and therefore can
not particularize further than we did
vesterdav. indeed, until after the
committees have reported we do not
design expressing opinions which
might form the base of judgment or
prejudice when several are compe
ting for the same prize. We deem
this explanation due mnny who are
naturally looking for notices In our
journal.
Floral Hall could scarcely be adorned
to better advantage than it now is, for

Senator Tipton did not deliver his
address according to programme, ow
ing to the fact that at the .time nam
ed for its delivery every one seemed
so intent in inspecting the articles on
exhibition, that it was deemed unnec
essary to distract their attention. The
Senator was present, and fully prim
ed, but realized and accepted the sit
uation. THIRD DAY.
From Friday Morning's Daily.
Nature seems resolved to compen--sate
the State Fair Association for its
failure and losses of last year by giv
ing it, this year, the most propitious
weather. Each day of our present
fair has been brighter and more de
lightful than the day preceding. A
finer day than yesterday could scarce
ly have been "made to order." The
consequeneo was an immense attend
ance at the grounds. Every avenue
of approach to the scene was lined
with well-filled vehicles; every possi
ble means of conveyance, from the
rough wagon to the stylish barouche
that thisnity or the other cities "with
in approachable distance of us could;
supply, was called into requisition, so
that even at the opening hour the fair
ground presented the appearance of
fairy-land.
The programme of the day "offered
the attraction of an exhibition in the
arena .of thorough-hred .horses, and:
cattle, and a most creditable "display
it was. The awards we give below:
The central or Floral Hall was so'
densely crowded all day with? visitors,
especUllyJadtes, j.hat itwas.acarcety
possible for an impreaiblerepqrfcer to
note any tother attractions thatrthe
scene presented. The Horticultural
display in. the center was a grand cen
ter of attraction, nevertheless id shar
ed the' attention bestowed uponj it
with thoother less beautiful but more
usefutdepartments. The fruit stands,
ahouhdieg-with &ome of the choicest
pomological specimens we have seen
for years, were inspected by thous
ands Hi persons;; most of whom recog
nizedtwith pride and pleasure the in
dications thafryoung- Nebraska is des
tined, before long, to take the lead of
many of 'her older sisters in thb fami
ly of States inUhe products of field,
orch ard 'tilM'g'tt'rd en i
That pbrtioDof the hall set apart to
sewing machines and specimens of
needle-work was surrounded all day
by an Impenetrable; cordon of ladies,
who seemed to think that the destiny
of the nation was a consideration
scarcety comparable in importance to
the merits of rival stitches.
The usual quota of side shows were
on the ground, and seemed to do a
more thriving business than on the
previous days. That highly moral
an'd innocent little entertain meat
known as ''three curd monto" was in
operation on the sly. More, than one
"meiry-go-ruund" was kept moving
by lair maidens" and their devoted
swains,' and target-shooting 'seemed
to be extremely popular, but the most
attractive entertainment was that. af
forded by a tatooed Irishman who
amused the crowd immensely by his
spread-eagle oratory aud triolis of
legerdemain.

This committee take great satisfac
tion in reporting that the exhibition
of thoroughbred short-horn Durhams
has been such an one -as every resi
dent of Nebraska may well be proud
of, aiid such as would have attracted
admiring attention, and secured pre
miums in any State In the American
Union. The improvement of the
breeds of cattle," especially those j

The undersigned committee on
Swine, having had nnder their im
mediate observation between one and
two hundred splendid specimens of
the most highly prized breeds, sub
mit the above as their final award".
They have endeavored, without prej
udice to do their duty faithfully. The
display of swine was never before, in
Nebraska, equal to this. It reflects
great credit upon the enterprise and
good judgement of the pork-feeders
of the whole State that they have giv
en such careful and well directed at
tention to the production of this im
portant staple.
The Berkshires are the most per
fectly represented, as well as the most
numerously of any race, and the sev
en boars of this breed, under one year
of age, are all so superbly good that
the committee, wishing to make no
invidions distinctions, in their discre
tion have awarded a diploma to each
of them aud reserved the premiums
for the disposal of their successors.
The object of these stock exhibi
tions being to improve the different
breeds of domestic animals, the
committee beg leave to report further
that the black breeds are, judging
from diligent observation, and con
siderable experience, much better
adapted to Nebraska than the Chea
ters or any of the larger kinds of
white hogs. They have made no
awards to tiio Chesters because they
do not deem it for the interest of far
mers in this State to encourage the
growing of that race of swine.
Owing to the most excellent show
ing of young boars of the Poland, Mc
Gee and Berkshire breeds, the com
mittee, having given a diploma to
many of them, do not award the
"sweepstake" premium, and they are
all the more unanimous in so doing
because they are thoroughly convinc
ed that all the exhibitors have been
animated more by a desire to encour
age skillful breeding than by the
mere money value of the premiums
offered.

of base ball for the premium offered
by the State Fair Association, was
played on the grounds of the Nema
ha Driving Park Association. The
combatants were the "Otoea"' of Ne
braska City, and the "Farmers," of
Glen Rock, aud resulted in favor of
the former in a run of 42 to 3. The
silver ball arid silver mounted bat
therefore became the property of the

"FOTJ.RTH DAY.
From Saturday Morning's Dally.
A breeze both brisk and bracing
prevailed during the wholoday yes
terday, . and so stirred up the dust, by
which the roads are covered, as to ren
der a trip to tne .fair grounds ex
tremely disagreeable. Under such
adverse circumstances we were sur
prised to find so large act, attendance
at the grounds. The numbers, how
ever, would have been greater tbau
on any previous day had old Eolua
kept the mouth of his windy cave se
curely closedEven as it was the
Fair presented a busy scene. The
worthy President- and his efficient
staff were as busy as ever attending
to the multifarious and somewhat har
rasslng duties devolving upon them,
The exhibitors were at their posts.
The only lack among officials was the
absonce of committeemen, rendering
it necessary for the President to sup
ply vacancies at the eloventh hour,
which is a most difficult and unsatis
factory task. In this connection we
would remark that when gentlemen
have been appointed on committees
o award-, and duly notified of their
appointment, common courtesy
should impel them to give the officers
of the Fair timely notice of their in
ability to attend, if their attendance
is impossible, so that their places may
be properly filled. Only the execu
tive officers upon whom the unpleas
ant duty devolves, and those who
come In immediate contact with
them, have any idea of the labor and
anxiety that might be saved by at
tention to this apparently small mat
ter. We hope all tho committeemen
of the future, who happen. to see this
suggestion, may remember and act
upon it.
The programme of yesterday, which
was the last day of the Fair proper,
was carried out so far as circumstan
ces permitted. There were but few
if any new features to note, and the
history of the day's events will be
found 3ummed.up in the long list of
awards, which we publiBh cerewitn,
and which leaves but littlo space for
general remarks. We would call es
pecial attention to the dolng3 of to
day, which will consist of trotting,
pacing and other exercises on the
track, and will be conducted under the
auspices of the Nemaha Driving Pork
Association, and we trust an immense
concourse of people will assemble on
the occasion, so as to reward the en
ergy and enterprise of the gentlemen
composing the Association.
