A handsome and attractive tent surrounds the goods , making a conspicuous object for sight seera. The display consists of a large variety of power and hand pumps , portable steam engines , and boilers , hydraulic rams , ateam guagers , rubber hose , steam engine trimmings , belting , pul leys , and motive power materials gen erally. Mr. Strang also exhibits the Halladay wind mills , famous for strength , durability and power. They ara extensively used in all 'arming communities , and have re volved before many a breeze that ' shattered numerous 'rivals. Beaido ; hem stacd , the Knowlei portable steam engine , adapted to a wide ra ge of.otk , and growing rapidly n popular favor. Mr. Strang aho cirries in stock a large "and varied atsorf mcnt of sewer pipe and plumb- era' material. Tha magnitude of his ' may be judged from the fact that jn the recent cnmpdtiticn for furnishing he pumping machinery for the Jmnha i water g works , for which riddors from all parts of the country were in active competition , Mr. Strang was successful , and will erect three augmes with a pumping cap < city of upwards of 'six million gallons. In every line of business undertaken , Vlr. Strang has bean eminently snc- cefaful , his trade extending far be yond the boundary of the state , and multiplying as the. years speed on. POULTRY AWAEDB. The poultry display was another of he great features of the fair. The juilding wat thronged every day with visitors viewing the numerous cage * of every kind of farm yard fowl. Mr. Carr Axford , a noted breeder of this city had one of the finest exhibits In ; he hall , consisting of beautiful.Buff 3ochins , Light Brahmas , White Leg- icrn chicks , and Ptkin ducks. His breeds are thoroughbreds in their line , and have been awarded numerous irizea at county , district and stale 'airs , in this and other states. Of the irerniuras distributed yesterday he re- ieived first on Pekin ducks and White J 'Shorn chicks , and second on Black jochin ohipka. Many cloie observers aud fowl fanciers say that Mr. Axford vat unjustly treated in the distribu tion of awards , and thai he did not re ceive the number that his exhibit juat- y entitled him to. However this may be , Mr. Axford feels somewhat slighted by the action of the judges nd the combination of events that robbed him of his jnst dues. FRUIT PREMIUMS.

Tbe Ahman , Taylor & Co. engine , this company being represented at the fair by J. 0. Chrk , of Lincoln , and the J. I. Case engine , thii company being represent ed at the fair by Haines Bros. , of Omaba. The Altman , Taylor & Co. engine was managed by Engineer Henry Schirck , and to it were attached a tank and coal wagon , the popular threshing separator of this enterpris ing company , La Belle wagon , eand : wich power eorn-sheller , sulky plows , cultivators , horserakes , etc. , eight in number , all loaded with as many hu man crentures , large and small , for whom place and space coald bo found. The J. L Case engine was managed by Engineer J. A.

A false impression was obtained In the minds of some , seeing the spans of ponies hitched to the Altman , Taylor & Co. engine , they were not there for draft and are required only for guid ance. The procession passed west ward from the machinery grounds and wholly encircled the speed ring , followed by a motley crowd of men , Isds , laaaes and childrenand , from the highest parts in the procession star spangled banners and display bunting were unfurled to the breeze. It was generally admitted by ob servers that the Altman , Taylor en gine possessed very great power read ily applied , and that the J. L Case engine was very complete in its equip ments. The engines are said to bo of ten horse power , but possess a power equal to any fifteen horses. The time has now come when horse power , for heavy work , can be dispensed with and the forces of inanimate nature utilized and made contribute to attain greater results with economy and con centrated power. This exhibition dis plays one step in the ladder of advanc ing civilization nnd the contest does honor to both exhibitors. NOTES. Mr. J. P.
