DUS.MOINES , Iowa , September 10.
During all of Wednesday night the
rain continued to pour , and Thursday
morning dawned on a somewhat dis
couraged crowd ; but as the sun broke
through the clouds , and train after
train rolled into the city thronged
with a restless , surging host , the
spirit of the people revived. My ton
o'clock the roads which in the morn
ing wore quite muddy , began to be
passable , and the wagons nnd trains
wcro unable convoy the crowd to the
grounds. Hundreds wcro compelled
to walk and the sidewalk was lined
with a continuous crowd of peoplo.
Thursday proved to bo the "big day"
'
' - of the fair. A careful estimation
based on the bale of tickets , shoWs
that there were not far * from thirty
thousand people on the grounds. The
art hall , in tact all the dillorcnt de
partments , showed a marked improve
ment as to arrangement and display
of exhibits over the preceding days.
During the forenoon , nothing of im
portance transpired. There was a review -
* . " view of the college cadets , during
which a runaway team dashed
madly through the thickest crowd
and along the parade ground , some
what disconcerting the "menof war. "
Strange to say , no ono was injured ,
and the horses after making an inef
fectual attempt to climb a tree were
captured. Until noon the vast assem
bly wandered through the halls andover
ever the grounds , csnstantly aug
mented by a seemingly never ending
stream through the entrance. At the
dinner hour a rush was made for the
restaurants and boarding house , and
in about ten minutes there was not a
slice of bread or a sandwich to be
had. The refreshment stands made
provision for a good many people ,
but the attendance was so far in ex
cess of their moat sanguine expecta
tions , that it is safe to say that ten
thousand people went dinnorlcss. The
supply of water in the barrels was ex
hausted and the hydrants wore sur
rounded by people with tin drinking
cupa , struggling to quench their
thirst.
At 1 o'clock the ten milo race be
tween Miss Pinnoo and Miss Curtis
was called. Right hero occurred a
proceeding which might safely bo
termed disgraceful. The sale of
tickets to the amphitheatre was
not begun and the ticket office
clused. No guaids wore stationed
ljFvA \ the ontraaco to prevent people entering -
toring the amphitheatre , which1 was
soon filled , and just at thu time when
the race should have begun a frantic
effort was made to clear it of the
thousands of people who had secured
their scats. The effort was only par
tially successful , and a compromise
was effected by the officers going
Er''V through and collecting the price of ad-
f ) V mission , which was fixed at fifty cents
a head , and which was reluctantly
paid in most cases. You can better
imagine than I can describe the situa-
/tion. / Ono o'clock , the race called , a
futile attempt to drive a crowd of
thousands down a stairway , by a
office , where a butter-lingered
manipulator of pasteboards dealt out
the cards , and then back up the stair
/ way to the seats. Wo do not know
who is to blanio for thig awkward
work , but trust it will not occur again.
It was nearly 2 o'clock when tlio "start
was made. Miss Curtis , who is : ! ono
other than Mrs. AI. 'Holt , of DBS
Moines , as it is now well known , was
attired in a habit of black velvet with
a groan silk waist and black cap. ' Miss
Pinnoo in a black velvet habit , with
black silk waist and blUe cap. The
start was made head to head ,
but Miss Curtis soon took the
lead and maintained it until
tlio end. Both ladies changed horses
at the end of every milo. The time
made by Miss Curtis was twenty-six
minutes , eleven seconds and a half ;
Miss Pinneo minutes
by , twenty-seven
utes and ono second.
This was followed by the chariot ,
race-which was won by Mrs. McDon
ald. Time , 1:05. :
Immediately after the chariot race
came the novelty running race , two
milo dash. For this tlioro were thrco
contestants ; Whisper , entered by
.fnincs Miller , Sioux Hapids , Govern
ess , entered by J. W. Jacobs , Lin
coln , Nob. ; and America , owned by
A. Urandt , Hollovuu. The Hist three
quarters wore taken by Governess ,
and the last five by Amorba. Time ,
1:00. : Next was the 15:20 : trotting
race , in which there wore twelve en
tries. This race wasjwon by T. .J ,
Potter in three straight heats. Time ,
2:41i : $ , 2:41 : , 2:38J. :
In the 12:50 : race there were HOVCD
entries. The race was won by Gliir-
enco H. in three straight heats ,
Time , 2:50 : , 2:531 : , 2:54 : ,
The line weather of Thursday con
tinued Friday morning , and the at
tendance was lanro , though not to bo
compared with that of Thursday.
The great attraction of the day way
the race against time by Mrs. IHirku
of Omaha , for a suuciul purse of $1000 ,
to ride ton miles , changing horses
nine times , to beat twenty-two and
ono half minutes. The amp'itheatra
was early tilled , and Mrs. Uurko was
greeted with loud applause on her ap
pearance. She was neatly attired in
a blue habit with riding boots and
lockoy cap. The lady is jimall , weigh
ing only ono hundred and sixteen
pounds , but possesses wonderful
agility and endurance. Her riding
elicited the admiration of all who
witncsHod it , and her rapid changing
of horses was vociferiouily applauded.
She accomplished the tun miles in
twenty-one minutes , twonty-nino second
end and a half , having ever a ininuto
to sparo.
The chariot race following was
won by Mr. McDonald , time 1:03 :
These chariot racc. have largolj
added to the Attractions of the fair
and have always been onthusiasticnllj
received.
In the 230 ; race there wcro thrco
contestants , Little Sioux , entered bj
Olios. Shearman , Canton , lll.jSutton
entered by J. 0 , Dnvios , Dos Moines
anil Clara Clevolaiul , entered by Win

took the second , third and fourtl
heats. Time , 2 : 0 ] ; 2:3 : : j ; 2:3U. :
For the 2:40 : trot tlioro were nine
entries. This race was won by iSietto
taking first , second and fourth heats.
Time , 2:41 : J , 2:303 : , 2:1)8. : ) The noxl
race was for pacing horses that had
never beaten i:25. ! : There \\cro six
entries in this race. There was
much wrangling and disputing over
this race , claims of fouls and several
protests entered , some of which woio
taken into consideration by the
judges , who awarded the three heats
to lams. Time , 2:30.j : , 2:30 : and 2:30. :
At this point the clouds shut out
the sun and it was evident that a rain
was imminent ; but the next race ,
bieylo contest , was called , There
were five entries ; \V. L. Jacquilt of
Dos Moines , Ooorgo Beobo of Mar-
shaltown , F. Lillibridgo of Cedar
Hapids , and W. Kerr and C. Camp
bell of Newton. Uefore the five
miles could bo nmdo , a pelting shower
came up , and no attempt was made to
Limo the race. By consent of partial
Lho race was decided in favor of Lilli-
Imdgo , ho leading at the time.
Thu rain continued during the
night , and the roads and track on
Saturday * wcro in poor condition
[ t was evident that the day would not
count for much , but the forenoon was
peasant and by noon about two thous
uul assembled to witness the races.
Tlio first was a half mile running race ,
won by Sleepy Kate. Time D5. }
S'oxt a trot for special purse , won by
[ vato Sprague in 2:38. : The trotting
race by horses that had never beaten

thrco heats. Time 2:321 : , 2:29J : , 2:31. :
L'ho running race , best three in five ,
nile heats , was won by America.
Tiino 1:53 : , 1:51 : , 1:55. : The slow
nulo race concluded the days procced-
ng , and was won by Master Dido
Gircn's donkey , who made the half
uilo in something short of two hours.
Considerable consternation was caused
during the afternoon , by the report
lint lion. Burcn R. Shcrmon , candid-
ito for governor , who was occupying
a spat in the amphitheatre , had been
stricken with an an epileptic fit. This
n'ovcd to bo in parb true , but the at-
ack was light , and no serious effect is
apprehended. It scorns that Mr. Slier
nan has heretofore suffered from the
same c.iuso , but not for a long time
irevious.
The twenty-eight annual fair of the
state agricultural association of Iowa is
over. Notwithstanding the inclem
ency of the weather and the ncvere
ains during a part of the week , the
air was a decided success. The re
ceipts of the week amounted to $2- !
703 , against 820,078 for 1880 , and
21,608 for 1879. The entire oxhibi-
ion excelled in quantity and quality
hat of any previous year. The crowd
vas good natured , and the manage-
ncnt labored hard to make matters
work smoothly , and if they failed in
any respect it was not intentional ,
special credit is duo President-JL'or-
er , Secretary Shafl'er , and Mr. Stacy ,
supervisor of tickets. Over ono hun
dred representatives of tlio press wore
jrcKcnt , and all acknowledged courte
ous treatment at the hands of the
nanagon. The only fault found was
hat the stand set apart for the re-
lorter was allowed to bo filled by a
notloy crowd during the races , thus
shutting out the representatives of the
iress.
Several pick-pockets wore present
duiing the fair , and a number of pco-
) lo were relieved of money , watches ,
tc. . This same gang of gentry will
> o in Omaha during the fair , and pco-
ilo and police should bp vigilant and
ipprohend them if possible.
During the week the survivors of
, ho rebel prisons held a meeting and
ook steps to form a permanent etato
organization.
in the dairy department at the fair
hero was a fine display , and as wo
lave already stated , .a great interest
vas manifested in this branch of farm
ndustry. It may interest the readers
of Tin ; Bin : to know that there is a
luiry organization that holds a fair at
Cedar Hapids November 27th , 30th
and December 1st and 2d. The pro-
niums offered there amount to several
; housand dollars.
Notwithstanding the largo crowd ,
hero was a remarkable freedom from
orious accidents. A man by the
lame of Kan was run over and killed
> y a train , and another man had a
eg broken by falling from the .stairs
at the capital. So far as your corres-
londent is informed , these are the
) ily ) sciious accidents that occurred
luring the week. X. I. S.
How to Harvest Flax.
A farmer in Northern Iowa , who
ias had considerable expotienco with
his crop , givei his method of harvcst-
ng it , as follows : "When the ma-
ority of the balls turn down and will
'nb ' out in tlio hand , the fiax is ready
o cut. It may bo cut with any mi-
hino , a harvester , reaper or mower if
iccessary , If cut with a harvester ,
ono man "liuuld stand on the platform
ind throw oil' in largo bundles. It
vill not pay to bind , I have found it
test by far to cut with solf-rako reaper ,
utting as high as possible , holding
he ralco till largo bundles are col-
cctcd and dropping it all in winrows ,
o that it can bo gathered easily when
Iry enough to stack. If loft till very
ipo and thostraw is tough , out with a
mooth knife that can bo kept sharp.
? lax , when ripe , will stand longer
him any other crop , but it will pay to
ako care of it , The str.iw , if cut and
tacked bcforo it rots , , will make good
ocd for cattle. Don't cut with -a
newer if you can help it , as much
ecd will bo tramped out. After
tacking , cover to tops of all your
itacks with coarse , wild hay , to pro-
cct against lain. It is but little
vork and well worth while , if the
eason should bo wot. Thrash and
isposo of it IIH soon as you can , as it
s hard to store and heats cosily. It
s also well to manure your land after
crop of flax , as it is a l.Htle moro
xluuibting than wlic.it , Oats do well
n flax land. I have had a good deal
f experience with this crop , and
yould recommend the above as the
test satisfactory way of harvesting
iax , "
Tlio Iintoftt VUlnR in Jurors ,
rirooklj n Knplc.
"This is a very pretty city , " said a
mild-looking individual , addressing
a gentleman in fiont of the Munici
pal building
"Yes : we think it a pretty fair
place to live in , " said the gontlman.
"Havon't many murder cases ii
town ? " .asked the man leaning against
an apple stand and taking a hugo
chow of tobacco.
"No. Why do you ask ? "
"Oh , nothing , only I'm somowhal
interested in murder cases myself jusl
at present , and the subject is ono ]
like to talk upon. How do your ju
ries run as a rule ? "
' 1 don't quito understand you. "
" 1 say how do Brooklyn jurymen
average f About how many days does
it take them to make up their minds
whether n prisoner it guilty or inno
cent ? "
" 1 should say your question was
decidedly a silly one , " said the gen
tleman.
"Not in the least , " said the mild
individual. "You RCO up our way wo
[ indo ourselves on our juries. They
ire never in a hurry , and treat every
] ucstion with all the consideration it
deserves. Their strong point lies in
: aking an abundance of time. Now ,
f you wcro suspected of murder in
our place a jury would see to it at the
Beginning that you were securely
ockcd up and not admitted to bail.
That is a great point gained. You
lave sot your man , and no is there to
either act frco or hang when the
iropor time comes Now , the next
joint is to obtain as many conflicting
vitnosscs as possible. It enables you
o hear both sides and all sides of the
iory. After examining a witness ad-
oiirn for a week or a month and
hink over calmly his testimony. If
; hero are points in his testimony of
vhich you are doubtful , examine him
igain , and then adjourn for another
month or so for deliberation. "
"But how about the prisoner all
his time' ) " asked the gentleman. '
"Oh , you've got him all safe. "He's
Jierowhen you want him everytimo. "
"I know ho is there , but ho may bo
' "
nnocont'
"Of course ho may bo innocent.
Wo don't say that ho is not , but what
our juries are after is bottom facts
( very time , and they're bound to got
cm if it takes ten years to hunt thorn
up. Our juries , sir , fairly revel in
estimony. I'm on a jury at present
nyself. "
"You are on a jury ? "
"Yes , and I've boon traveling six
nonths through the west and south
.hinking over the last hard knots we
truck.Vo don't como together
again bcforo ubout the first of the
ear , and I'm mighty glad of it , for
t's going to take mo fully up to that
imo to make up my mind. "
"And where are jjou from , pray , if
' . may ask ? "
" .New Haven , " said the mild indi-
idual , sauntering leisurely up the
treet and gazing abstractedly at the
ity hall clock.

"Lord , Lord ; how this world is
given to lying ! " The Fairiield Ledger ,
umming up thtfcdistricts that have m-
tructed for Wilson , says : "Within a
ew days the Seventy-sixth district
laminated L. A , Schultzo and in
truded for Wilson. " And now
omes the Clear Lake Mirror with the
tatcment that this district has nom
inated L. A. Schulte , of Humboldt ,
ind adopton the following resolution :
"Resolved , That the republicans of
he dis-
Sovcnty-sixth representative -
riot of Iowa approve and endorse the
andidacy of the Hon. Jas. F. Wilson
er the honorable position of senator
n the United States congress , and
.hat the representative nominated
icro to-day will further 'tho senti-
nents of his constituency'by furthor-
ng the candidacy of' Mr. Wilson to

ion is enough to utterly destroy one's
oniidenco in the integrity of the
ires' ) This distiict has nominated *

lot instruct tor Wilson ; "liut , on the
ontrary , refused to do so. It did j ot
ass the resolution so innocently

ontrary , struck out all after the word
'Congress. " Now lot us have no
