OMAHA DAlJbY .BEE- FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12 , 1884. THIRTY THOUSAND The Attendant at the Fair Tester The Handsomest Nebraska Bred Babies. The Most Accouipliahed Young Lady in the Statd Tlio Itacoo nnil Otlior Features uf tlio Gro.xt Slio\v. Thursday was iho biggest state fair day over scon in Nebraska , and it nppoaroc that not only the weather but everything else was propitious. With break o' day , the crowd began to drift toward the grounds , nnd every street nnd avenue was filled with moving vehicles , while the sidewalks were thronged with such na chose to go out on foot. The day dawn ed beautifully bright nnd clear , nnd the temperature was ns pleasant n3 over blessed n September day. The trains on the various roads came In loaded down with passenger ; ! , and the number of visi toro from abroad wna supplemented by thousands from the city. Those who wont out early had the gratification oi witnessing a fmo artillery drill by a com pany of the Fifth regiment , which took place on the open space j ust west of Sul phur SpriuRD and thu parade which fol lowed It. Many wished that it cou'd have boon given inside the track within the fair grounds n it would have boon a rare treat for both visitors nnd Omaha people. Each hour of the forenoon saw the throng increased , and it was evident thnt it was to bo a great day. The halls were filled to repletion , the nvonuos filled with people , the aide shows and games all kept busy , and the crowd without the ga'tea as remarkable for its numbers as that within. THE MOUNINO mooilAMMK included a fine exhibition of valuable horses in the ring , and after that , the six "traction" engines were run in , and the scone was like a carnival of steam en gines , the various machines being run about the track and across the field as if exorcised for their health. Ono of the engines ran into n ditch in the cantor of the ground and waa , after much trouble , pulled out by another , the accident drawing n very largo crowd. While waiting for the main part ot the day's programme to begin , Tin : BEE reporter visited the rOUtTHY DKPANTMENT where hundreds of people were inspect ing the display , which ia this year far superior to any over before made in Ne braska. The moat striking object aa ono enters the hall is a trio of light Brahivms. Thcso are perfect birds , aa well as the whole Asiatic class , which is t/ell represented - sontod by the following varieties : Light and dark Brahmas ; Bud' , Partridge , white , aud black Cochins. Of the two former grades there are some excellent blood , among others being birda that will scale 90 points and upwards. Game fowls have thns far been neglected by our Nebraska poultry fanciers , there being - ing but a few fine birds. Ono coop of black-red fair birds however - - pylo game , are , over showing impure blood. Of the Spanish clasa there are white and brown Leghorns , and ono coop of golden spangled Polands ; ono of "white faced , black Spanish" ( without the white face. ) Of the combination , or reconstructed varieties , the "Plymouth Rock' " perhaps the moat profitable breed of fowh for the farmer , aa well as the fancier , are shown in profusion. Also eight or ten coops of Wyandottes. Four coops of i'ekiii ducks and ono of llouons , were the center of 'attraction , nil being extra fine specimens and priza b'nl * . Tnero are no thoroughbred geese on t'lii grounds , two coops of high grade Toulouse und two of common being the only ropreaontalivcs. Of the pnt stock , ono coop of common while rabbua repiesonts thd state. The p it stock haa tioyor had any inducomonls ofTorod for exhibition and haa boon neg lected. Tina includes pigeons , rabbits , 1/irda , whlto mica , etc. Thora r.ro over three hundred varieties of pigeons aloue , which would bs n great attraction in itself and it ia hoped that another year will eeo an improvement in this depart ment. An interesting exhibit si made ia SWJNK there boin nboufc 200 pena filled with the beat broods of hogs. The l\rgn majority nro Poland Chinas , of which there is some fine imported stock. S jmo of the Nebraska bred atock poaiesos equally aa many fine paints as the imported thor oughbreds. The other varieties are Borkahiro , Yorkshire , Cheater White nnd Jersey Reds , all being good. Of the Berkshire ! thoroarobut fuw entries. This being a small boned variety , docs not adopt lisolf to the utility of the big corn crops of Nobrasokn , aa the larger honed varieties do. Of the York-shires , there are six pens of extra fine specimens. Their short noses and depressed face ( a In John Kelly ) are considered by some brooders to bo i"ost commendable - able ( in a garden patch ) . The Chester Whites are good atock and in this line are about thirty entries. Many breeders prefer the whlto animals to the colored breeds and the Chester white Is the universal favorite For general use nnd packers' purposes , thia breed ranks foremost , aa the animala are lengthy and produce more side pork per capita than any of the feeders. Tha Jersey rods belong to n combination breed and their origin ia as yet questioned by the broodora. They nr said to excel other breeds for hardinesa , Some breeders claim them to ba cholera proof , and for frontier hoa growintf , where the animala are subject to neglect , they ap pear to thrive the beat of any breed. About forty pens of the various / breeds are brought in by putfiidora , principally from lown and Illinois , nut represent some oweep stake and first pri/.9 stock that is Imrd to boat and in held up us a guiding star for our JSo braska breedora.

Considerable compo- ition waa excited by this offer and the oar's crop waa unuaunlly fino. Entries vnro slow in coming in but the number nd variety of the exhibits whan finally urned over to the committee was such aa 0 greatly perplex them in making the wards , although all were exports in > aby-culluro. The exhibition of "clans C" took place in the east end of Fine ; Vrt hall and no painter could produce jch a picture aa that of the eight ttlo faces that met the eyes of the com- littee ] 'with a baby's inquisitive ook. Mr. Grinnoll had chosen as is committee three reporters , ropro- outing the Herald , and Idaho Journal nd THE BUG , who have herds of their wn numbering ono , two and three each , nd none ofwhom had made entries for us exhibition. The Idaho gentleman ad a fine specimen on the ground , but Ithough it waa eired in Nebraska , ho aid that it waa dammed In Idaho , and ho ould not consistantly enter it. After inspecting the babioa the com- littoo retired to a Runny spot to award 10 prizes , but hero a diaputa arose over 10 matter , and after several votes by allot , it waa necessary to lot the majori- , ' rule prevail , as it was impossible to ! roe unanimously , and the audience waa ecomlng impatient for tl" ' " decision , 'ho renult was that the prtutn to the andaomost boy baby waa gi\ n to Walt- r , the 14 month old son C Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

An nttompt was made to appoint n ommittoo on credentials , but the motion hat the secretary of the state central ommittco read the names of those dele- atos whoso seats wore not contested pro- ailed. Considerable time was spent by dole- ates from various counties in calling ov absent members.

At thiu point in the convention a mo- Ion to adjourn until it o'clock this norning to htiar the result of the can- oronco between thcso four committees was lost.

" Score 7 to5 , " " Ono of the largest audiences of the oason witnessed yesterday the most in- lorious defeat the Union Pacifies have vor mot. Tlio St. Paul's gained their vantage ground in the first two In nings , through their slashing fine bat ing and the almost helpless opposition nflorod by the U. P's. The score nado by the visitors in these two nninga , although not increased , defied .ho . beat cllbrta of the local champions to equal. Tlio great redeeming features of ho game wore the two magnificent double ilays of Visitor and Walsh. The former nado the longest linn throw over made on the grounds.

OF TIII : DVXAMOS Watclion of visitors to tlio Kloctticnl Inhibition chocked nnd taken care of. On the door of the establishment is the name "George L. Mallon , Watch maker. " Behind the row of convales cent time-pieces hanging in ( the window , n litllo man with n shock of rod hair bent over the narrow work bench. Several chance passers , catching a glimpse of the paste board sign hanging in the shop , stopped to read it. 'U-y-n-n-m-o-s , that must bo a now nanfo they have got for pickpockets , " said n young follow , who spoiled the word fur his companions. As the reporter crossed the threshold the watchmaker looked up from his work. "How do you do ? I merely wished to inquire about tbs sign. " " sign ; yes , everybody- seems to think it strange , but just wait until the exhibition opens , after the great electri cal machines got in running order , and then yon will see the people coming in lioro to ioavo their watches nftor the first experience. "Of wlmt ? " "Why , the nlloct of an atmosphere sur charged with electricity noting upon the lolicately aujusted ntcol parts of a vntch , " "In what way ? " "Thoao parts become magnetized iharged ! with electricity. Simply staud- ng beside one of those powerful machines s sutliciont to magnetize a delicately adjusted time-piece. Have you never soon n magnetized watch. Hero is ono If allow * o remain so for the purpose o showing skeptics. Wait a moment until ' . wind it up. "It's nn old Swiss movement that be- ongod to a young man who worked in ono of the electric light and power com- muios down-town. Ho cnmo in hero ibout two months ago to have the tratch nit in order. lie supposed it merely vnnted overhauling and cleaning. It lad run down , so 1 wound it up and ex amined the movement. In n minute I enow what was the matter. I said to lim , "You work in some place whore hero is a great deal of electricity , don't ? ou ? ' 'Oh , yes , ' ho answered , I work at ho Electric light nnd power company's ilaco. ' So I told him that the watch vaa magnetized. Ho bought another ono of me and I took his in trade. "There , now , juat notice thpao two prings ; see how the coils strike and [ uivor. Every pinion iu that watch ia nngnotized , Look at that pinion cap hrough the magnifier ; aoo how it rcmbloa. The watch may run ton lours nil right , then atop for two or hreo hours and go on , or it may stod a lozon times in an hour. A magnetized vivlch acts as if it were bewitched. In net people have declared to mo that heir watches were bewitched. I laugh at the notion and demagnetize ) the affected parts. Then they think I prac- .ico . the black art. "Seriously , though , I expect to do a argo business in looking after watches luring the exhibition. You reaiombor .ho . electrical exhibition in Paris In 1881- nd ' 82 ? Well it was then that horolo- ; ista told of the startling fact t hat watches ccro affected by electrical currents. Watchmakers there for a time were com- ilotoly puzzled at the erratic actions of ho time-pieces brought them for repair. Vt length n bright young follow named ja Force discovered the cause and almost nado a fortune demagnetizing watches. lo charged a high price for his work , for 10 kept his knowledge to himself. " "Magnetized watches ? oh , yes ; wo low and then have them brought to user or treatment , " said M. J. Valentino , an oxpot watch lopairor in the establishment of H. Mubr's Sons , nt Seventh audChcst- mt streets , I had a case of that kind only n ohort time ago. A gentleman nought mo a valuable chronometer bal- mco watch. It had 'fits'as ho expressed it. The watch would stop for 20 or 30 ninutus , then go on aa well aa over , then itop again and BO on. It wna not a very jail case of magnetism ; ho had only jetn in the habit of visiting .ho electric light works on Arch street ind standing by the machine. I dcmng- lotizod his watch in 48 hours by using .he English garlic juice remedy , but it is very alow work. Three or four days ia usually required to demagnetize n serious caae. I understand thnt a Now York inn of watchmakers have perfected A machine by which they can demagnetize iv watch within 21 hours. It ia very com mon to have watches affected during n display of aurora borcalis. Some very curious things concerning watches come under a watch maker's observation at times. I remem ber a lady who used to bring mo her watch sometimes as often as once a week , it waa either too fast or too slow with her ; while it hung up in the shop it ran as steady as the state-house clock. I studied that watch , and one day I came across something in an English horolog- ical magazine that opened my eyes. It wassimply a little item saying that some times delicately adjusted watches wore affected by the temperament of their wearers. "The whole thing flashed upon mo in a moment. The womana watch was affect ed by herself. 1 found out that she was of a highly nervous temperament , but would at times Buffer from attacks of des pondency , The watch only recorded her temperament. When she was vivacious it wont fust , when she was in a low mood it wont slow. Very often it is impossible to rcgulato a watch for some men by keeping the time piece in the shop. There is some physical peculiarity about the man ; it may be his gait , his tempera ment or an excess of bodily electricity. In thu case 1 lot the man wear the watch continually and then regulate it to his peculiarities. "Bodily electricity ia very marked in certain persona. 1 know u young watch maker in whom it became so strong that he was obliged to give up that branch of the trade , becuiso ho fcund that h o mag- itolizad the delicate hairsprings , " "Do you think that a watch taken to the electrical exhibition building would auffor. " "It would undoubtedly in some retpcct and if thu wearer came in actual contact with some of the larger machines 1 am inclined to think the watch would become magnetized. 1 shall visit the exhibition and will muko some experiment ! ! with iv watch myself.
