The great day of the fair was favored with tnost auspicious weather , and the manage ment was in smiles. Thousands of people Attended the great exhibition. As early ns 11 o'clock about 10,000 people wore on the fjrotinds. . The parade of the traveling men in the city kept many people uway , but about noon the great stream of. humanity wa turned toivard thg fair grounds and poured in perfect floods through the different gates. During the afternoon thg crowd was vari ously estimated at Jrom twenty to twenty- five thousand. The Judges ot the various classes got to work earlier than usual and by noon had n warded prics for the best specimens of horseflesh , harness , both single and double , the fattest cattle , to the different varieties of chickens , green-house plants and mechanical contrivances. The display of the last named Is of great in terest , particularly to the country people , and consists principally of liny rakes , har rows , plows , cultivators , hay and elder jprcsscs , with a multitude of other articles. The display of wagons , buggies and other vehicles is now complete and probably the largest and handsomest ever made here. The management Is doing everything in Its jiowor to provide for the comfort of the vis itors. Sprinkling carts me busy settling the dust , and barrels of ice water arc pro vidcd in abundance to slake the thirst. The latest attraction added is the display of wild animals and birds by Ernest Meyer , Of South Thirteenth street , ouo of the most extensive amateur fanciers of the kind in the state. The collection Is nearly as largo as an ordinary menagerie and has been ex citing the greatest interest. Crowds are about it constantly. Mr. .Meyer lias made pets of all the birds and animals , and their Jirauka excite continual bursts of laughter nnd admiration. The collection comprises two wolves , a fox , a badger , three raccoons , two antelopes , two mountain lions , two piairio ilogs , \vhito rat and ten young ones , lit teen rabbits , including the silk , white and Rus- Kian varieties , an American eagle , turtle doves , magpies , horned owls , Spanish carrion birds , and other rare specimens of beast and fowl.

The Brooks-Alton mill for f50 n side and the eutlro gate receipts was fought at day- llsht yestoreay "morning " In a romantic llttlo plmi sovcnil miles cast of Council UlufTs on the "Old Limekiln road , " In the presence of about fifty spectators. The light lasted barely nlno minutes , Allen being put soundly to sleep In the third round by a terrific ri ijLjhandar between the eyes. The match originated In a llttlo jealousy between - tween tlio men , which resulted In Allen's Is suing n challenge for a light to u finish to settle nil their dlftlcultlea effectually , and demonstrate to the satisfaction of the friends of both parties the comparative merits of the two pugs. Allen had never been In the ring before , while Brooks had displayed his science and gauio in several hard fought battles. Allen had nrovon himself quite handy with the "initteus" In Couucll Hinds gymnasiums aud athletic rooms , and all a' ' once became possessed of the idea that ho was n bom prizo-flghtcr. It is highly luiprob able that ho will allow his imagination to rut away with him ngulu to such an alarming degree. It was about 3 o'clock yesterday morning wheu carriages began to drive swiftly ubonl the city , and although one could scarcely toll where they collected their loads , it was evi dent that they were bound for u common meeting point. After dodging hero and there for seine time to cscaiw the police , who were vigilantly watching , the party met at the entrance gate of Union Driving park. The light was to have como off In that part of the city , but Just as the party was preparing to move over to tliu proiKiscd battle ground , n gray pacer hove in sight , going like the wind , and there was no mistaking the city marshal's favorltu ilyer. Marshal Guanella and Captain Dj cr wore seated In the buggy , and they were not long In Imparting the in formation that no mill should come off Inside the corporate limits of the city. Another start was made , and the two ofllcors fol lowed and saw the party a inllo beyond the limits , when they returned to the city. The drive was continued until a suitable placa was found , .lust as day was breaking the ring was pitched , tickets collected and the contestants Jumped over the ropes into the ring , A well known local snort was chosen referee , and quickly gave the order "inalto ready. " Just then n belated member of the party arrived , am ] reported passing Sheriff O'Neil and two deputies n short distance away. This announcement caused quite a ripple of excitement , and sentinels wcro posted on the tops of several neighboring bluffs to give the alarm in case they saw any suspicious parties approaching. All of them prepared to take to their heels in caoo of a raid , and each picked out his course through the brush and over the hills. 'limo was called for the first round at ten minutes beTorol ! o'clock , and the scrappers gottowoik. Hoth sparred a few seconds for an opening , when Hrooks got in a heavy one on Alien's 1100 , staggering him and .start ing the crimson fluid In u copious stream. From that moment Allen was a whipped man. Ho reached hiivngely for Hrooks' ribs , but fell short , receiving In return another dii7zler on the noscj. U jioro ho could get the stars winked out of Jtitt eyes , he was treated ts two nmru solidcncs on his damaged pro- bosclf. Ho made ia rush at Hronks , who slipped and foil ; in getting away. First knock down wai claimed for Allen but not allowed. The round closed without another blow. The second round was very similar to the first. Allen's mnUllor was visited several times , and ho became dcoidedly grogjiy. lirookx touched lifm lightly on the mouth , and it was followed by some ineffective in fighting. Allen rushed his man to the ropes , aud with a heavy mbroaster landed him out side. It was his only hit of the battle. As the men sought th'cir corners , Urooks was apparently as fresh as over and showed no signs of having fought a round , but Allen was rapidly weakening. AH they came tbpithor for the third round , Hrooks saw hid opportunity and forced the fighting from theBtgrt. Ho had everything his own way , and hit Allen whenever and wherever lie 'pleased. Allen wont down when his no < ? o was waked up amiin , and ho had scarcely reached his feet when Hrooks' formidable loft Inii ol on his neck , flooring him n second tltno. Ho managed to raise himsulf to a standing posture and parried two or three light ones aimed nt his ribs , when Hrooks caught him a stunner between the eyes and the flglit was over. It was a clean and complete knockout , and Allen did not regain his senses for fully three minutes The party made a rush for the carriages , and in less than three minutes every trace of the battle was removed and the place deserted. The spectators were decidedly fore over the battle and wished they had their 3 back again in their pockets. Allen was no match whatever for Urooks , who li one of the best lightweights in this part of the country. The parly expressed considerable pleasure over Allen's having seine of the conceit taken out of him , but regretted that he hud en deavored to pass himsillf off ns n prize lighter , anil insisted that ho ought to be ar rest od for lighting under false pretences. The result was by no means u surprise to Uroolts" friends. Hs is n scientific and very ngilo young pugilist ana strips for the ring ! n nlniOJt perfect form. It was a matter of surprise to many citizens that the fight was allowed to take place , when It was so gener ally known that the parties were going out for that especial purpose. It Is certain that the olllcials were not averse to allowing the battle to como off , or even to witnessing Jt , if it was not fought within their juris diction. Dying for Want of Proper Cnro. J\C\SOXVIWK , Fin. , Sept. 0. This has been the gloomiest day of the epidemic. The death roll has been unusually large , and many usually cheerful faces look stern and many stout hearts fool faint. When Dr. Neil Mitchell entered the executive commit tee rooms this morning and announced six deaths since last evening , and that seine of the patients had died for want of skill- lul nurses , there wasn sensation.
