VOL. LXXXVII. NO. 37 10000 PEOPLE ON THURSDAY, The Grange Encampment and Fair Draws the Largest Crowd in Its History—Ex. hibits Unsurpassed for Excellence bof Quality —Palmer Spoke Wednesday and Brumbaagh on Tharsday, w~ For number of people present, weather conditions, and quality uf ex- hibits, the forty-first Encampment aud Exhibition was the best ever held in the history of the association. Wednesday and Thursday were big days, but the latter far surpassed the former in number of people present. Between eight and ten thousand peo- ple occupied the grounds Thursday A thousand automebiles, buggies and spring wagons were packed on the lower end of the grounds and in the afterpoon the great crowd was divided into several largg groups—those who remained on the principal avenues, the six or ceven, hundred who occu- pied the auditorium and a good sized crowd that took an interest in the ball games scheduled for the after- noon, The continuous moving of the great throng up and down the ‘svennes re- duced the parched ground to dust which became so dense as to give to the park, from a distance, the appear. ance of a great smoldering fire. The crowd endured this unpleasant feature without murmuring and even stood for a good sprinkling of dust on many things that were eaten and drunk dur- ing the weak, The exhibit of products of farm, garden, orchard and vineyard was a feast for the eyes snd it is doubtful if a better display was ever made. The large exhibit building was filled with meritorious products in this line and one wing was devoted to a display of antiques and needle work. The handi- work of the women of Penns Valley made a most excellent exhibit and was a feature that was not surpassed by any other, One of the prominent new fealures inthe main building of the Exhibi- tion this year was the fine display of fruit from a number of the State mod- e! orchards located in Centre county. It consisted of a large variety of apples, some of which were nicely wrapped in tissue paper and boxed ip the same manner as the famous Ore- gan and Washington fruit is put upon the market, Besides these attractive packages were a number of plates of apples and pears, all of which showed evidence of careful handling by the growers, the spraying being one of the chief means of obtaining the clean handsome specimens. Beaides the fruit there we'e three cases of mounted insects showing many beneficial and injurious kinds from the division of Zoology laboratory Another attrac- tion was the exhibiting of parasitized Han Jose scale which was distributed to a number of orchardists in the coun. ty who were in need of some assist ance in controlling the scale, Those who had fruit on exhibition from their model orchards were: D., D. Royer, Rebersburg; J’ E. Miller, Madisonburg; A. J. Gephart, Mill heim ; Wm. H. Grove, Coburn ; R. D Musser, Bpring-Mills; 8, W, Smith, Centre Hall; D. A. Boozer, Centre Hall; N. C. Neidigy, Btate College ; Geo. Durner, Zion; R. H. Merritt, Julian ; H. K. Mattern, Julian ; H, H, Laird, Port Matilda, WEDNESDAY, DEMOCRATIC DAY. Wednesday was Democratic Day, and everywhere there was Democratic enthusiasm. Mr. Palmer, candidate for United States Senator, and his party consisting of Hon. W. T. Creasy, candidate for Ligutenant Governor, and Charles N. Crosby of Crawford eounty, candidate for Congresaman-at- large, arrived on schedule time from Lewisburg, where a meeting was held Tuesday evening. The Aaronsburg band headed the procession that brought the candidates to the Park Headquarters, aud then direct to the Democratic headquarters, presided over by county chairman, Bheriff A, B. Lee, Here the wvandidates were greeted by hundreds of Democrats, Republicans, Prohibitionists, Pin- chots, and men who kept iLheir politi cal ideas to themselves, At the npoan hour, Mr. Eby of Zion entertained Mr, Palmer under a white tent in one of the pumerous blocks on the Park. After this, the candidate for United States Benator and the administra. tion’s representative in the lower house of congress, was again gripped by the hand by bundreds more who had come to the Park to see and hear the much talked of and much read about Mr. Palmer, While Mr. Palmer was being greeted at the Democratic headquarters, the large auditorium was filled to overflow by men and women from all parts of Central Pennsylvania. The first glimpse of him on the stage was a signal for applause. David K. Keller, cashier of the Penns Valley Bank, a thoroughbred Democrat, and a repre sentative citizen, was named by Coun- ty Chairman Lee to preside, He prefacing each introduction with fit- ting remarks, The first speaker was Robert 8. Bright, candidate for Congressman-at- large, a citizen of Phifadelphia coun- ty. Following himm was Hon, W, T. Creasy, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, ‘Farmer! Creasy wss a familiar figure on this particulaf plat- form, but at no previous time did he speak so eloquently and fluently, He touched largely on the road question, & question with which the people were familiar. Mr. Palmer, the chief speaker of the day, was sgain greeted with applause as he arose to speak to the large audi- ence, He dwelt upon two of the fifty counts in the indictment drawn up by him against Heunator Penrose. The speaker was listened to with rapt at. tention, and was frequently interrupt ed with hearty applause, Oune needed only to stand by a knot of men wio were discussing Mr. Palm- er to be impressed with the fact that his presence in Centre county meant many additional votes for him. [his applies to men of ali political faiths Not a few Republicans openly expres. ed their intentions of supporting the | Democratic leader, believing that his | superiority of manhood justifies such action. There were many expressions of re- gret that Mr, McCormick, Democratic | candidate for Governor, was obliged to | leave his party at Lewistown and re- turn to Harrisburg, instead of coming to the Park. But since he had been in Centre county several times previous to this date, he was not cen- sured. on REPUBLICAN DAY. Thursday was Republican Day The crowd was larger than on the day previous, because Thursday Is always the “big day” of this gathering The attendance was estimated at from ten to twelve thousand, and possibly the latter figure is not high enough. The chief attraction was M, G. Brumbsugh, Republican candidate for governor, that is, he was the chitf politieal attraction. He whirled up the main avenue in a large touring car, and was #tationed at the Republi. can headquarters, where he was greet. ed by his political friends. In the auditorium he spoke of the natural re. courses of Pennaylvania, its beautiful mountains, paid a just tribute to Penns Valley, the Dutch, ete. He said everybody could understand the meaning of his platform except a few politicians, which is true wereit not for the fact that his party platform and his own differ in material things. The pame of Benator Penrose was not mentioned, neither was there refer. ence to the stale administration, io fact there was nothing political in bis address, it was simply a bit of palaver punctuated with a bit of applause that always had its beginning to the rear of the speaker, . Local Ball Team Wins and Loses Centre Hall engaged in two bace- ball games during the Encampment and Fair, winning one aud losing the other. On Wednesday Spring Mills met defeat by the score of 11 to 5, principally through the effective piteh- ing of *' Btuffy '’ Btover who hurled fr the local team alter Spring Mills made four tuns off Bradford's delivery in three inniugs., Corman pitched a good game for Bpring Mills but was taiserably supported st times. The Gregg township boys appeared in new striped grey uniforms, but the suits contained too much * tailor” to per- mit of fast play, and to this, in a measure, may their defeat be attribu- ted. However, since the baseball rea son is about at its close, the uniforms should be in first-class shape next spring for a successful season. On Thursday afternoon Bellefonte proved a harder proposition for the home team. Stover was on the mound for Centre Hall and Beholl for Bellefonte, It was not Btover's day to shine, however, and after the first inning, during which the visitors scored three runs, he was replaced by Kline of State College, The latter had plenty of speed and a fast-break- ing ball, but on the Bellefonte tesm were several sure hitters who kept their team in the running. The score at the close was 8 to 4. Auman, for the home team, played a good game on the defensive, in his position in center fleid, A————— A ———— Another Babble “Busted” From State College Times, According to advices received here from Louisiana those who invested in reclaimed delta land at Paradis have lost their holdings, evea their crops be- ing taken from them.
