Twcuty-iivo thousand people was nn honest estimate of the attendance nt the state ( air grounds yesterday tbnt fur- niihcd s crowd sulllcicnt to make a umllo prcnd over the faces of tbe managers. Tbo attendance yesterday was of sight- eers of the fair proper , and never be fore during the week : has as much uttep- lion been given the buildings , the stock nnd the individual exhibits. Tlio excur sion trains cunio loaded , nnd they were people who came to see the fair more than the races. It wis to exhibitors the busiest as well as the most satisfactory dny of the great fair. Though thu crowd was not so largo as the dny before , they nil sucnxid as anxious to take in thu sight * ns did the people who came Uio first day. In Agricultural hall the awards urn being made , and , as usual in such cases when the competition is large , many are disappointed. However , the judges are honest and are trying to du what is right in the mutter. Art hall continues to be the leading re sort , for ladies especially , and Major Hastings feels quite proud of his class ol sight-fleers. Ono of the novel sights iu # , this hall is a lady in ono of the musical departments who plays the violin finely , While the is performing it is almost ini possible to move the crowd from her locality.

NUIlllASKA HIIEI ) nilCHICUONS. : Ono of the great features at the fair nd that iidd much to the fact that N'u- iraska is abreast of all older states m tun irogress of pcrinauunt stock work is the ol lectio n of ira ported and Nebraska ired I'erchcrons exhibited by Mark M. Joad , of Fremont. Thcro is always a ontr row of spectators before the stalls tccupicd by Mr. Coad's stocK and hand- ooicr thoroughbreds cannot be found on ho ground than those exhibited by him. Tliu fact that equally 113 line horse flesh : an be reared and bred in Nebraska as n any state in the union is Illustrated by lie exhibit of Mr. Coadandtho premiums his stock is taking. Ono of the great contests in the horse ring was for tin- best live colts , the get of one stallion. In his contest Mr. Coad took lirst premium , ihowiug live suckling colts , thorough breds , , that were as handsome as could be desired. The value of this mircly Nebraska contest against the world was illustrated in the fact that they wore hewn against live colts entered by Mr. Klwood , of UeKalb , with the dill'e.r- nce that Mr. Elwood's colts were two- ear-olds while Mr. Coad's were not over six months old on an average. After Mr. Uoad had taken the lirst premium Mr. Elwood congratulated him ou the stock and said he was entirely batisticd with the award ; that they were live as handsome colts as he had over seen. If this is not a feather for Nebraska and an illustration that the state can breed in its own borders as hand&omu stock as the best of them , the judgment of the BKE goes for naught. These live colts were sired by Henri Lo Blanc , the stallion that heads Mr. Coad's heard ol Percherons. Le lilano was imported om Franco direct by Mr. Coad , nnd was i ho'rse approved by the gov ernment of Franco. Lo Blanc's registered American number is 4543 , nnd his registered number in France is 1M&J. Le Blanc's sire is the famous rench stallion Kustiquo and his dam , Malice. Another premium taken by Mr , Coad was , lirst premium on three-year- old mnruNegra.ono of his imported mares from Franco mid a beauty clean ot liml and perfect. In two-year-old stallions Mr. Coad tpok second premium in a con test against twenty other entries. It yearling btallions ho also took secom in a contest with twelve entries Ercmium colts , Percherons bred in Ne braska , Mr. Coad took both tirst and second end premiums , and in maru colts. Perch' crons bred in the state , lirst and second premiums were also taken. The Perch erpn Association of America o flu red a1 this fair a line gold modal for the best Perclieron stallion born and bred in No braskn. This gold medal goes home wilt Mr. Coad , his young stallion Do Lessuui being awarded the medal , and the awari was considered by all as worthily bo stowed. Mr. Coad has on his Pereheroi farm at Iremont 170 head of iraportei and hich grade horses from which his stocK exhibited was selected. Thi fact that Nebraska ban a breeding farm of this magnitude and one that cai cuter the state fair and compute with al the great breeders of the state with sucl a showing of premiums as they mad < this year , is n fact that above any othc shows tbo progress uio "tuto is making in mature work in the breeding line ant Mr. Coad is entitled to congratulation over the successful results ot purely Ne braska bred thoroughbreds as Hue as th country produces. EXHIBITS OK A SUCCESSFUL FIUM. One of the handsome exhibits in Ar hall is the display made by the success lul lirraof llargreaves Bros. , who.in Lin coin's wholesale trade , stand second t none in volume of business and miccus.- ful business results. The firm hos beci built from the ground up in Nebrask and in the city of Lincoln , and they com mand a trade that permeates to all sec tions ot the state and crosses the line into Kansas and Colorado territory. 1 all lirst class groceries the firm carry 01 a magnificent business and in all classe of stock their trade is increasing with th most satisfactory results , both to thoni selves and their hundreds of patrons. Mi A. E. liargrcaves , the senior of the lirm commenced at the foot of the ladder i handling fruits in a small way , and on of the prominent branches of their trad now is their handling of California fruit that have grown from a small begiujn to gigantic proportions. The sliippin records will show that there is not a tin in the west that handles more friil | tha llargroures Bros. , and theitpatrons , wh are scattered over a wide extent of lorr tory , will attest to the satisfactory mar nor in w'aich Uargreaves Bros , handle thi branch of their business. In every dc partmont-the same care is used as in th Handling of their fruits. This linn own and occupies one of the handsome ! buildings in tlio city.

At the stal fair this lirm has illustrated its onerg and enterprise iu an exhibit that rcceivt marked attention. Nearly in the cenu of the hall their exhibit is located and comprises everything in the line of fane groceries that can be imagined , thu Ion pyramids of canned goods being ot peoiallv attractive , while a thousand an ono little things in all variety ilecoral the ontlro display iu the most ulca&in manner , and the lirm have in thutr di play given "special attention to tt Bewnrd Canning company , whoso gooi they handle and are pushmir to the froi in the markets of the west.

Congressman McShane was a visitor al the fair grounds yesterday. Dr. U. H. Livingston and B. E. B. Ken nedy , of the state lish commission , were visiting at the grounds yesterday. The olllcors of tbo fair all feel very jubilant over its unprecedented success and especially thankful for the beautiful days which have been granted and done much for them m making U interesting as well as a financial success in every particular. Jay-Evo-Sct h to trot again on Friday especially to accommodate the thousands who were unable to see him on Wednes day , and the society docs not expect to make a cent out of this trot. Secretary Furnas continues to maintain his good nature and atluble disposition. His popularity is only exceeded by his ability to run thu biggust and best fair iu the United States. The tlshery exhibit lost one of their most popular articles in their mermaid. Thu party owning it , being obliged tu leave , insisted on taking it witli him , much to the disappointment of'Mo.ssrs. May and O'Briun , who had expected to havu it in their exhibit during the entire fair. Howvvor , they promise to purchase or secure it by some hook or crook next year and not be subject to the whims oi some old seaman. J. J. Lowury , who was awarded lirsl premium on his horse-shoo exhibit , yes terday received an order for a set ol shoes from Edward Blthor , thu trainer and driver of Jay-Kyc-Sco. lion. E.

President Barker visited tlio fakl uud promptly ejected him from th grounds. Thu jam at the Fish commission exhibi s simply prodigious , and as an interest ing exhibit it is not excelled ou tb ground.

The complaint made of an ovci crowded reporter's stand at the grca race Wednesday , should not bo laid u against thu management. The troubl was that newspaper men who had badge gave them to outsiders and some news paper men worked the clerk in charge c press badges on their couiplimcntaries t the extent of halt n dozen or more. Wednesday's receipts alone mut all ex peuses of the board , both for expun * and premiums. It is safe to say that tli state board will have u surplus of f 25.0U iu the treasury ready for a rainy day. Fish Commissioner May wears nobby scarf pin that he Ini just received trom Titlany's. It is jeweled tish in design and a inoro uxpon bive bit of jewelry probably is not to b seen in the state.

ELECTRIC STREET MOTORS , A Style of Travel ThatJs.Pushing Its Way In This Oouqtry , VARIOUS SYSTEMS NOW IN USE- An Electric rtoail In Alabama Many Similar Iloada In DlrToront Htatci \ Still Unexplained Alyat rjr. The Montgomery ( Ala. ) Register of a recent date grows ecstatic over the Html disappearance of the mule from that city as a motor for street car traction. The fifteen miles of street railway in Mont gomery are now operated entirely by the lectric motor , a force which the Advor- iser declares to have great advantages vur mule traction , it being able to draw overal cars to the mule's ono. At the inio when the Advertiser article was vritten the overhead conducting wire scd for the electric current had not yet alien down and killed a horse driven by no of the ex-governors of Alabama , liis was an event of later date. But had ho accident occurred before the nn- louiicemcnt of the disappearance of the mile was made , it could hardly have ampencd the enthusiasm of the writer , le would have maintained , very justly , hat the horse might have been kicked y a mule , and so perished in any event , "iftcon or twenty liorso power , no mat er what the form in which its energy is lisplaved , is n dangerous force to meet u an irregular contest. Thcro is no doubt that the electric motor for street railways lias passed be yond the cxnerimental stage. In a small way it lias been in use in Europe since 1881a track onu and one-half miles long , with two cars , having been a sort of plaything in Berlin from that datn to the > rcsent time. Another road ono mile in ength , with the same number of cars , ivas opened in Brighton , England , in ' 883 , and during the same year nnd the /car following several short roads were constructed in different parts of Europe. Two of the German mines al.so , ono since 1882 and the other since 1834 , havu been furnished with tracks a few huu- Ired yards loner , on which electric mo tors are used. But these roads were all mall ventures , and though the number of passengers carried was sometimes jonsiderable , the experiments were lardly to bu considered as tinal tests of \ complicated engineering problem. The solution of this problem , like the solution of HO raanv other problems that "nvolve inventive skill , has been reserved 'or ' men working under the inspiration of American patent laws. The commercial - mercial utility of the electric motor on prolonged lines of atrcot railway has benn very well demonstrated in this country during the past two years , and the work of constructing new roads and changimr horse roads' to electric roads goes rapidly forward. * Electricity ns a motor for street rail ways 1ms now only ono rival. The horse has the nine points otjaw in his favor , but possession can hardly be allowed to weigh against all his manifest disadvan tages. Ho has an expensive stomach , requires a great doal'of ' ' care , take * up too much room , and \b' \ not noticeably clean. His lirst cost , also , when his lia bility to default on his life assurance scheme is taken into account , is nearly ns great as that of tlio electric motor. For a new and unequipped road , there- tore , he can atl'or no advantages in economy. The electric motor has no rival in the horse , and it has no rival , ap parently , in the various plans for com pressed air traction which have been pro posed. Its only rival is thucabla system , a system which works wnll and has been proved to be economical , but which has not yet raptured the field and seems to be handicapped in its efforts at gutting possession of the streets. The disability of the cable system is in its tirst cost. A road that calls for $80,000 per mile in construction must bo sure ol a very trallic before the money can be ventured. There are probably only a few of the leading cities in the union where a cable road could be operated with suflciont gross receipts to pav the interest on the investment and still leave a satisfactory mar gin of profit for the stock holders. Cable roads can bo opovatcd profitably when ! a horse railroad wouhl be profitable. But horse railroads arc usually very unprofitable in third-class cities , and , except upon a few stroets.nol very much of n bonanza in cities of the second class. The field for an $80,000- pcr-rnilo railroad sonms to bo oxlremelj limited when thu ground is contested by n system that costs very little more tliau H well-equipped horse road , and whici will yet cost in operating expenses , if tin testimony of experience can bo trusted not so very much more than a cabh road. At all events the horse must go , am there is good reason to think that tin electric motor is making much more rapid progress in the Uuitod states 01 street railways than the cable system. Ii Richmond , Va. , a well-known company is equipping twelve miles of road , 01 which forty ears are to bo run. The sam < company is equipping roads also at SI Louis , Boston , Woonsockot , Baltimore St. Joseph , and various other points. A Pittsburg throe roads are tinder construe tion. Binghamton is to have a road foil and a half miles long , operating eigh motor cars. At San Diego a road i being constructed nine miles lonir , eve which four forty-horse power motor car are to furnish traction. 'But these ar only a few of the more prominent enter prisns. Not less than fifty-five or sixt ; roads are under construction or pro jected in the United States , and th movement is continually extending What will prove to bo one of the heav icst industries in the country is apparently ontly springing up as a consequence o thu introduction of electricity as a rail way motor. u i There are three different systems o transmission in use , thn first on ovorhoni wires and the second oviir wires placoi in conduits , while the third is operate ) by means of accumulatorsorstoraco bat teries. As usual In thta > country in th introduction of new inventions , the sye turn which is least expensive and complicated catod will be first in securing possessio ; of the field. This is known as the over head system. A liard-iljrawn copter wir of small size but great tensile strengt is suspended about eighteen feet abov the trucks , whuro it is "supported eltho by a bracketed post set in thu curb or b bpccial supports on lateral wires whic cross thu sttcet from side to side. In di : tributintr the current thAiratls are gouei ally grounded , and formono , side of th circuit , but in case the'connections , , b < tweon the rails is not good they are ro-oi forced by a continuous conductor. . trolley which is connected wiUi th engine. In some EyMonis the motor I placed under the car in nueh manner tht no space is lost and no detached mote needed ; but in other devices the raojor i detached and resembles a steam locomi tivo in its methods of operation. The conduit system , the system whio it is proposed to applr on the. Ful to street road in this city , Is hardly to I called more complicated than the ovc head system , but the first cost will t necessarily somewhat creator. It soon also that creator dillicultv will bo e : perionced in meeting the obstructlor caused by wintry weather. Bul this an obstacle to be met and overcome t the resource ! of invention. For litr cities' and in crowded , streets it must , t found more available than the overbei system , with its apparently greater lia bility to accident. It Is hoped by electricians that the sys tem of storage batteries or accumulators , carried on the cars and securely packed away nndor the seats , may eventually bo utllUnd to an extent that will render any outside mechanism unnecessary. This seems to bo the ideal system , but It does not yet 'appear to bo sufficiently per fected to enable electricians to dispense with the use of conductors along thn tracks. The progress now being made in utiliz ing electricity is very remarkable. Yet men still remain so ignorant of the sub- tile nature of thin force that scientific journals , devoted to its study , are still discussing the problem of whether It is to bo considered matter , us only a force generated by certain conditions and relations of matter. The solution for the present seems to bo beyond reach. "Electricity , " says an expert , "is simply an agent of transmission a convenient , tractable , yet powerful means of carrying and distributing energy of motion from one point to others. Electricity is one form of energy , but it is a created form of energy ; it may bo considered as steam in another form , nnd when wo recover it , it is simply mechanical work or unorgy of motion , nnd no longer electricity. " This definition of a mysterious forcn seems to decucn rather than dispel the mystery by which it has always been sur rounded. No doubt it is scientific ; but would it not bo equally scientific to say that it is firavity and not water that turns the water wheel ! Nevertheless the weight of argument BCOIIIS to bo against the material properties of this incompre hensible workmant But this much wo Know for certain. Wo have found in electricity the most nlniblo-fooJcd agent Known in the universe , a traveller that can rival thu light in speed , and explode a magazine across the circumference of the globe. The hand of an infant IB strong enough to dispatch it on its course , though the hand of a giant would not prevent its oll'ects after it lias been once launched. Misery Attrr Eating Is avoided by dyspeptics who , guided by the recorded experience ol thousands , begin nnd systematically pursue a course of Hosteller's Stomanh Bitters. Persis tence in the use of this pure and highly accredited stomachic , is thn solo and agreeable condition of the entire removal of the obstinate forms of tlyspe psia , no less than a temporary fit of indiges tion. In eonnec'.tiou with the use of this specific , it is desirable to avoid articles of food which individual experience has shown to be difficult of digestion , by tha stomach sought to bo befitted. 'Each dysputic's past observation of his diges tive capacity should enable him to bo Ins own guide and mentor in this particular , not trusting to any set of dietetic rules too general to be suited to particular cases. Biliousness and constipation , heartburn and wind upon the stomach , sour eructations , headache and mental despondency , are among the concom itants of dvspepsm , and we put it to flight by th'o Bitters. A Jewel or Fttbiitouii Value. Jewelry News : The Berlin Borson Zei- tung says that the Prussian capital has long contained a jewel of quite a fabulous value , the news of whoso existence was first madu kuown to the general public by the reports of thu last session of the Polytechnic society. This noble stone Is a sapphire , and is the property of one of the members of that learned body. It weighs a little more than six ounces. The jury of the Polytechnic society on he grounds , stated in full in their dis cussion , would have settled its value at ho frightful sum of 01,000,001) ) marks , or .510.000,000. It need hardly be said that such a treasure is not very likely to find i purchaser at such a price. It s contended by some of the adopts that the Htono is not pcrtuctly pure , so that its price may. j > crliaps , bo reduced ; but it can never be so far lowered as to tempt the richest and most eccentric collector in the world to give anything like the sum which must bn asked for it. In the year 1872 a Burlin mineralogist ollored to go as far as 07,500 marks , but in vain , as the unique jewel lad already been refused in 18CO to a ierman prince who had offered a far arger price. Its present possessor has placed his treasure in state custody for the s.iko of his heir , as the Borsoii Xei- tung says , though wo imaging ihat its future owner will not find it easy to reali/.e anything more than distinction out of liis very exceptional piece of prop erty. All the experts who have scrutin ized the saplure airrco that it is a genuine conundum.
