THE CENTRE CoUNTY FAIR.—For the first time in five years old Jupiter Pluvins took a back seat and allowed the weather man to smile most benignly this week, with the result that the Centre coanty fair, which was advertised to be better than ever before, was not only bigger and grander in every way but the crowds in attendance were the largest seen at the county fair for years. Wednesday there were from four to five thousand people on the grounds while yesterday the top notch was scored with from ten to twelve thousand, and with continued good weather today another large crowd should be there. As to the fair itself, it this year takes rank with any fair held in the central part of the State. Practically all the space for outside exhibits of machinery, etc., is fill. ed. The live stock exhibit is the largess ever bad, including the finest strains of blooded stock, in horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. One very noticeable thing was the unusual number of brood mares with suck- ing colts by their side. The poultry ex- hibit also deserves special mention. Two large tents are jammed full of the choicest fowls, turkeys; pigeons, etc., from both Centre county growers and other sections of this State and New York. A feature that is attracting its full share of attention is the beautiful. arched monu- ment. of all kinds of grain and fruit, de- signed by Henry Strohmeir, of Centre Hall, and erected just in front of the main ex- hibition building. In it are to be found every kind of products raised on the farm and in the garden. In the main exhibition building the line of exhibits in everything usually seen at a county fair is so large as to be crowded too much for proper display,a fact which makes it patent to the fair management that the exhibition is not only growing but has al- ready grown beyond the limits of the space | provided, and that by next year additional buildings will have fo be ‘provided for ex- hibition purposes. In the competitive towuship exhibit, Marion was: the only. one to respond bat she did so most liberally. The school board $00k hald of the matter and - organized for a systematic canvas’ with the result that is took John Holmes Jr., Walter Yeariok, Harry Fravel and Frank Vonada to bring the exhibit to. Bellefonte in two big wagon loads after all the stuff had been properly labeled: by Mrs. Holmes and others. Of course this exhibit took the first prize, a $65 organ, On the midway are the unsnal diversions, interspersed with the man with the wheel of fortuneand a few other like innocent games, while the toy balloon man and the man with the ‘‘tickler”’ perambulate among the crowd. Of course the balloon ascension in she evening is another attraction viewed by. both: old and young, though Thurs- day evening: the balloonist attempted to ascend before the balloon was properly in- fated wi ith the result shat he was compel- led to cut doose and fell in the lake, while the balloon: sailed away. The man was pot hort in the least. No out-and-out gambling. schemes are allowsd on the grounds. WEDNESDAY’S "RACES. Of course the most interesting of all the diversions at any county fair are the races and these were watched with nnmitigated satisfaction by the crowd present on Wed- .nesday. of the track the 2:17 event was the moss interesting: to the majority of the people present the county race was the big thing. While all of the events were close enough “to be exciting all were run in straight heats and there were nosensational finishes. The county; race was won by Henry Lowery, of ‘this:place, while Lew Wallace, of Miles- burg; eame in first at the other end with a great big lead, though he did get around in ‘time: for the races yesterday. maries of Wednesday’s races follow : ‘While to horsemen and followers The sum- 2:17, trot and pace; purse $300.

The monument of grain avd fruit built by Mr. Strohmeir was badly damaged: the tent over the merry- go-round was blown down. A number of | other tents were badly twisted while there was a general look as if the place had been struck by a fair-sized tornado. Tuesday, however, everything was pnt to rights again. Harry C.

Hind- man, who the past three years has labored in‘ Bellefonte, as general “secretary of “the Y. M. C. A, recently tendered his resig- nation to take effect January 1st, 1906. Mr. Hindman bas worked most faithfully for the upbuilding of the local association and it seems a pity that just now, when the association has apparent assurances of greater proeperity he should feel it imper- ative to quit this field of work. To show their appreciation of the good he has done here the board: of directors at their last meeting adopted the following resolutions : 3 WaEereAs : MriL. B. Hindman, general secre- tary of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A., has deemed it advisable because Eri circumstances to tender his resignation, the same to take effect at the end of the calendar year ; and Waereas: He has rendered a faithful, devoted and efficient service to the Y. M. C. A., as far as the facilities at his command would permit ; and WuerEas: He has responded very cheerfully to every call made upon him for christian serv- ice, no matter froni what source the call came ; and WaereAs : He has at all times conducted him- self as a christian gentleman and citizen during his brief sojourn in Bellefonte. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the directors of the Y. M. C. A. of Bellefonte fully Sppreciat his exemplary life and untiring effortsin behalf of the young men, and accept with sincere reluctance and regret the tendered resignation ; and be it further Resolved, That the most cordial sympathies and best wishes of the Board of Directors follow Mr. Hindman and his esteemed wife in all their future labors and relations. 5 R.

THAT ODD FELLOWS GATHERING.— There will be jost one week of of a breath- ing spell between the Centre county fair and the big gathering of Odd Fellows, which will be held here October 16th-18tb. Not since the time of theG. A. R. en- campment here in 1880 has there been such a crowd as will be here during the coming Communication of the Grand En. campment, I.0.0.F. of Pennnylvania and the Department Council of Patriarchs Militant. ~ As stated last week there will not be less than three hundred representa- tives present and at least that many more visitors and uniformed camps of the Patri- archs. The latter will come in all the splendor and beauty of there gold-glittes- ing uniforms. To accommodate and enter- tain this big crowd of visitors will necessi- tate some extra effort on the part of the people of Bellefonte. Then in addition, it would merely be paying due courtesy to the visitors for the property owners to appropriately decorate their places of business. The Patriarchs Militant, of which J. B. Andrews, of Altoona, is general, will arrive early Monday morning and hold their first session at 10 o'clock and another session in the afternoon. The representatives of of Grand Encampment will arrive Monday evening and hold their first session on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Tuesday alternocn all of the visitors will be given a free exonrsion to State College where they will bave an opportunity to inspect that institution in full working order. There will be $wo sessions of the Encampment on Wednesday. - All the officers of the Grand Encampment as well as of the Patriarchs Militant will be here, which will mean the bringing together of many prominent men from all over the State. : REAL ESTATE AND OTHER CnaNonss or less importance.

It is estimated that it will sake | about six weeks or longer to put every- thing in place and finieh the monument ready for unveiling. Now that work has actually been eowm- menced on the erection of the monument, isn’t it about time that some thought is given to the day when the same will be wnveiled and dedicated. This will be an occasion that should be made momentous. dt:is the first and very likely the only thing of the kind that will ever be raised in Cen- tre county; and combining as it dces the honoring of the soldier dead and the memory of the greatest war Governor that ever was known the unveiling and dedication should be attended with due and proper eere- monies, 1 A CLosE CALL .— - Shortly before six o'clock Saturday evening Joe Thal was driving up the back road from the fair grounds in his delivery wagon. With him were John Garthoff and a boy named Campbell. At the same time the Snow Shoe train was shifting cars on the Y and glass works siding and just as Thal was driving over the crossing a box car was shunted in which struck the wagon, knock- ing it from the track and throwing the three occupants out. Garthoff sustained a small cut on the head and a few body bruises. Thal was more or less bruised up while the boy had hardly a scratch on him go that oo serious consequences resulted, miraculous as it seems. The horse was thrown down and somewhat bruised and out but not serious. The wagon, however, was pretty badly broken. Just whose fanlt it was is hard to say. The men were driv- ing along, evidently busy talking and did not notice the box car coming down the track until it was too late to get out of the way. y os. ffs ovs CENTRE COUNTY MERCHANTS AR: RESTED—Early in August pure food agent James Foust, of Altoona, made a trip to Bellefonte and through Centre county buy- ing up samples of canned and bottled goods, meats, eto.’ The samples were analyzed by the State chemist and some of them found impure. with the result that last Thursday two arrests were made in Belle- the last couple years. | their way to Cincinnati where Mr: Sechler goes as a delegate to the national convention of railway | Waliers, of Lock Haven, and Mrs. Rhone and . daughter, Miss Mary, of Reading, Caj., where News Parely Pevsonal. —Hon.
