The ticket sellers report having disposed

very large number considering the vv enther.
This morning the sun uiade Its appearance
for a few minutes and It loeko i for n time
as if there would be geed weather the
balance of the week, but It seen changed
nd for some tltne there was rainfall which
again disappointed the expectation-! of the
fair managers.
The fair grounds are in geed condition
and net "muddy, but the track Is very
mutidy, and could net be put in condition
for racing te-day.
There was n iroed attendance this nmrih

They Provide I'lenty or Amusement and
I'Ul Their Pockets.
Never in 4he history of the Lancaster fair
grounds bave there been e many fakirs,
ilde showmen and ether men of that class
upon it as at the present time. These men
came here In great force, from evcryvvheie,
expecting te reap a rich harvest, as this is
Is geed country for the kind of peo
ple called " suckers.'" There are gan.e
of almost every kind en the grounds te
cateh the Ioeso change of the people, and It
would take a inlllletiare te " go against"
them all. Seme of these are very simple,
while ethers nre complicated and a low are
almost dead cases of pure larccn v. All are
after the mighty dollar, and the people w he
huve these c)ie out en top every time;
for that they are lakfrs. Had the
weather kept up well these man
would have done a great trade.
It is surprising te see hew many people
play these game;, and the list Is net con
fined te the snorts. The men vv he stand
high In the churches and would net think
of betting en base ball games or an cleu-
1 tlen will go right te the fair utul bet all f
I their spare change en a diircreut co'er or
uumber. working the whip game or sonic
I thing else. The games crcate a great
I deal of fun, us it is very amusing te
watch the dltlcrcnt kinds of poeplo who
gather around te Invest their money. The
laklrs themselves are a jelly let of fellows,
and they are always icady and willing te
help each ether te ''work" thociewd.
1 There is some rivalry, but they all have
, the same object in view, and that is te get
I the coin of the pablic. Notwithstanding
j the very bad weather, muiie of the fakiis
did very well. Yesterday there was a
I smalrcrewd eu-the grounds, yet these w he
,iwere en hand meant business and they
i played the leading games ler all thev weie
worth. The whip man probably did the
best butiness of any one en the let, as he
usunlly docs. Sume of the men who sold
. novelties sav that their business lias been
very bad. The fakiis area seurca of much
I prellt 'te the fair manage!, as tiny are
i willing te pay well for the privilege of
i "doing" the people, and they iillbrd lets of
1 amusement If seme of their games are
queer. Considerable of the room in sinic
of the hotels and beat ding houses are taken
up with this remarkable class of people,
and In the eveniiurs after the fair thev can
be seen en every street corner talking of the
day's work. Ihey ceme tiem all sections
and many get all ever the country during

Speakiui; of the irames at the fair a well-
known gentleman said te an In ri.i.t. ling
er; rt reporter te-day : " I hav e only been te
the fair once, but in that time I saw mere
games te get people's money than 1 have
ever seen before in one piste." This is car
ried en openly, yet the lali managers will
net allow- peel selling, which Is much morn
harmless than the majority et these games
I'eople who buy peels are nsusil'y wldn
awake and knew what they aie doing, but
inauyet these who play the ether gami- are
innocent people easily taken in." The is
much truth in w hut the man said.

A Coniuirlen Between 1MII Ami the
Present Year A Statement Frem
Secretary Week.
Jeseph I). Weeks, secretary of the Iren
association, and editor of the Irvn Mann
fitclmcr, made a very interesting state
ment en Thursday of comparisons in the
Iren business between 18711 and the present
year.
"There is no doubt," said Mr. Weeks,
that thore has recently been in this coun
try, a decided, as well as a health, and
what premises te be continuing Improve
ment in prices of Iren and steel. The ten
dency is still upward, and the outlook ter
the fall and winter is most gratifying.
"While a rapid advance has always been
considered as ominous of a disastrous tum
ble, the present advance has neither been
rapid nor great.
"Comparing prices since the first of the
y ear, it is noted that prices for all pig iron,
except Bessemer, ere about the same So Se
tcmber 3d as they wcre at the beginning of
Hie year. Neutral mill is the same; all-ere
mill and Ne. 1 foundry IS cents a ten less,
but llesscmer is $1 te fci.us a ten mere.
"Frem the first of the year up te the mid
dle, of June there wnsnurnclunl decline,
until June 13. Since that date prices have
steadily advanced, the advance In neutral
mill being S1.25; In all-ero mill, $1.25;
foundry, jl.'JJ.and llesscmer, $1.75. Muck
bar is riueted at 25 cents a ten lens than at
the bcglnnltig of the year, but 1.60 above
th'ilewe t rates of the year $20.60 which
ruled from February 13 te June 27.
" Old Iren rails are 60 cents a ten higher
than they were January 3, but they are
JM.'.!oibee) what they were from the mlddle
of May te June 20. Tjls is the most marked
udvance In any materlil. Steel rails
I n e shown an advance of (1 a ten slnce
January, the price new being $2 above the
lowest quotation, flloerns are 60 cents a
ten less than in January, but $1 mere than
In June and July.
"These advances are very encouraging te
the producers, because they have neither
been rapid nor great, nor such as can be
reasonably objected te.
"It Is an Intel estlug fact," continued
Mr. Weeks, "that the condition in the
iron tiade at the present are semewhat
similar te lliose prevailing In 1871). It was
lu July, 1870, that prices in Iren began that
upward movement that marked the fall
unil winter of 1879-80 as one of the most
remarkable, as te prices, In the history of
the iron trade, l'l ices in the beginning of
the year were the lowest ever known in
the it en trade in the country up te that
time. In llttle mero than five months
they had advanced ev er 100 percent. I'rem
that moment the d eel I no set in, which was
even mero rapid than the advance In
the fellow lng Jlny the card had been re-
clucet! te 2J cents.
"While the advance of iron and steel
during the present season has been simi
larly rapid, it Is te be hoped that they w ill
net continue te be the same as ten vcais
age.
"The situation In the country Is prosper
ous and It is almost iuevltable that llieie
will be another advance, but whatever the
pressui", tiem whatever sources, it may
he assumed that the lelly or 18711 and lsHi)
will net be recatcd. One of the forces
that compelled the advances ten vears age
vv 111 net be as potent In 18Mi as in I87H."

license, have their hacks numbered,

legiuar imcksei inociivare run during
the early part of the nigfit, w hile there are
regular night Hues which de net run
except after dark. Hut few of these car

ADDRESSES ON THE TARIFF.
Lets Than a Hundred Persons Attend
Land Is' Calibration In the Court
Heuse en Thursday Evening.
Jehn H. Landls' grand celebration of the
centennial of the American tariff, which he
advertised every time he had an opportu
nity the past year, has passed Inte history.
It w as a great little. He and bis associates
blame It en the weather. Ureal efforts were
made te secure a large attendance at the
eeurt heuse en Thursday evening. The
..Vcit' JCra called attention te the proposed
meeting editorially, and urged all Its
readers te go and hear Hubert P. Perter,
the great apostle of protection; who k new new
mere about Its workings than anv man In
America.
All the members of the Yeung llcpubll
can club received pestals te attend their
mommy meeting at an neur canter man
usual, se that the business of the meeting
could be transacted and the members have
an opportunity te attend "In a body"
and hear the distinguished speaker. They
evidently were net much interested In the
proposed tariff speech, for less than a half
ueic n of the members of this club were
present.
When the clock struck eight, the hour
designated far the meeting, thore wcre 73
persons in the large court room. When
the meeting was called te order ten min
utes later that number had been augmented
by probably a acore mere.
Although the meeting w as prejected for
the enlightenment of the farmers and
worklngmeu thore were at no time u half
dozen tanners in the audience; and as te
"werklllBincn." the officeholders nnd
efnee-hunters outnumbered them flvo-feld.
Jehn H. Itehm, who wants te be post
master, wa9 delegated by Mr. Landls' com cem com
mlttce te call the meeting te order. He
did se and read a list of officers, which was
headed by Congressman Uresius for presi
dent. Twenty-four vice presidents and
fifteen secretaries were named, and or these
thlity-nlne efllcers there wcre net threo at
the meeting.
Congressman Uresius in taking the chair
said he was "deeply senslble of the par
tiality efthe management In selecting him
te preside." He apologized for the small
audlence by saying that the Inclemency of
the weather kept trio people away. This
meeting is convened, he said, te commem
orate the birth of the American system of
protection, and he took pleasure In Intro
ducing the speaker of the evening, Hen.
Keber; P. Perter.
Mr. Perter began his nddrcss by refer
ring te Lnncastcr as the greatest agricul
tural county of the United Slates, and the
pleasure it gave him te address an audlence
at the home or Thaddeus Slevens. He
referred te the Declaration of Independence)
or 1770, and did net think it or as much
ImiHirtauce us the second declaration of
independence, w hlch Is the term he ap
plied te the tlrst taritr law of the United
States, w hese ccntennlal this audience met
te celebrate.
The first declaration, he said, made us a
nation In name, the second declaration a
nation in fact. He referred te the poverty
of the vv erkmen of a century ago.wne w ere
obliged te subsist en peer feed and wear
coarse clothes befere there was a tarlll law
In force, and argued that the werklngmcn
te-day are prosperous only because or the
protection te American industries through
the tariff. The tight against protectlenin
the' early days or the history efthe ceuntrv
w as made by English manufacturers, anil
the same opposition is te-day against the
taritr and crying for free trade.
He referred te the early laws cnacted by
the British authorities te prevent manu
factures In Atnerica, because they were
prejudicial te English trade.
He claimed that protection had Its blitu
In the patriotism of the American people,
and w as strengthened by the vv ants of a
growing people. It is firmly engrafled
upon our system, and the result is fair
wages ami geed homes for the working
man. He spoke of Helland's great wealth at
ene time in its history, when it had a
large navy and merchant marine, and at
tributed Its great importance te the pro pre pro
tectlv e system then In force, and her te
"docllne" neglecting te keep her protectlvo
system.
Kugland has that commerce new, he
asserted, by excluding from her land the
manufactures of ether ualieis. He ad
mitted that England let in free of duty
the raw materials she could net produce.
He talked of the great progress made the
past century and attributed the prosperitv
of the United States te the protectlvo tarlil
alone. There Is imported annually goods
valued at ?200,000,UOO, nene erw hlch would
need te be brought here If the taritr w as
properly revised.
lfe advocated the preaching of protective
doctrine through the Seuth, which would
greatly benefit the manufacturer of the
North. Thoslecline of the merchant ma ma ma
rinowasdue te the fact that this industry
vv as net protected as were domestic manu
factures. Mr. Perter Is net a pleasant speaker, and
his audieuce was well tired out when he
concluded his lieiiraud a half address.
Mr. Uresius apologized for the nnn nnn
amiearance of SiKMker lleyer, candidate ler
state treasurer, who was advertised te be
present and started In te make a supple
mental tarlll spoech, which fell Hat en his
audlence.
In every point of view the demonstration
and the speech w ere great disappointments
te Projector Landls, Chairman Hreslusand
Orator Perter. Few representative Re
publicans and fewer representative busi
ness men attended ; and of these who did
seme left befere the thing was half evor,
and ethers' w ere asleep before the dreary
tale was told. The matter of the address
was stale, Hat and unprofitable, and in Its
arrangement it was pitchferked together
in the most illogical way.

AtlHEAT UI.1I BATTLE.
Amusing Sham WurfHi-eln the Mud nnd
Hnln.
The rain fell steadily en the scene of
Baltimore's sham battle en Thursdav In
commemoration of Iho battle of North
Point in 1811.
The battle was'n splendid nnd Impressive
scenle production, whose changing elfctts
of color and sound rascluated the 10,000
scctalers from the moment the tlrst gun
was fins I.
General Bess was Iho only man killed en
either side, nnd owing In the wator-seaketl
condition of the ground Surgeon General
I.ce strictly farbade the troops from rill
ing. Iho American army went out te the field
en the Western Maryland railroad and
farmed for the trey Just cast of the Pinillce
race track. 'I hey then marched upon the
lialtlo-greuud,which was the sace Inclesed
by the rnce course.
The British w ere conveyed lu railway te
Mt. Washington and marched te the Gen
tlemen driving's park, where the.V b.'gan
an inglorious advance.
The mud of the suburban reads was, as
heretofore stated, never hi better shape far
climbing all ev er the clothing of these w he
disturbed Its repose, and most of the guv
uniforms or the Invaders ero thoroughly
bcsatteied. If the question had been put
te a v ete I hey vv mild doubtless have decided
that they didn't w ant te capture Baltimore
lust then, but the poeplo were expecting
them and they had te tee the scratch. At
2:30 o'clock the head of their odvanee col
umn appeared at the southeastern etitrauce
te the biittlo-greuud.
Gen. Bess was n conspicuous figure until
his sudden demise. Ills red coat, lu con
trast te the garments of all the ether com
batants, caught the eyes of the spectators
from the start. A soldier en the Judge's
stand wnvtsl a red flrg with avrhlte centre,
and IwocenipinleH from the oppesltu ends
et the American line rushed forward te the
big Irce near the club heuse. " Crack,"
"crack." went their polished iruns. and
the British could be seen skurrylng here
and there us if they wanted te be somo semo some
w here else. Gen. Hessdashed around as If
he had lest something and wanted te 11 nd it
Inn hurry. The killing was done by a com
pany volley tired by ihe Haymaker Itlfle
team. There was a loud report mid a Hash
and Bess lelt ttie chill of death creeping
ever htm In his tiiltid. He fell forward en
his steed In order te run no chances of
soiling his pretty red coat In the mud, and
was seen behaving like a well-regulated
corpse. His aides pulled the defunct war
rior rrem his perch and placed hlmeiin
stretcher carried by lour men. The gen gen
eral threw out his hands in spreml-eagle
style, turned up his eyes and was borne etr
the Held te the club-heuse. His spirit
watched the. remainder of Iho tight from
the portico.
After the fall of Bess the maticciivcrlng
began en an extensive and plctiirosque
scale. The British pitched lute-the two
udvance companies of ritlemeu, and at il
eonsldeiable cost lu t lit) way of blank car
tridges forces I them le take te their heels.
They then advanced upon the Americans
uiid'fanucd Ter the struggle lu three lines.
The artillery commenced the work und the
bluejackets seen had their pieces operating
like machines. Deep, sonorous oxpleslons
shook the air, mid lu the midst of
each cloud of w hile smoke, which
1 sill red out of the iron mouths, Hushed
it mass of red flame. The boom of the guns
shook the grand stand ami rattled glasses
at the lunch counter. The ulr was toen
heavy w Ith smoke, und the Eighth Penn
sylvania opened with musketry en the left.
1 lashes el blnze leaped along the lines as
the volleys were fired, and the reports
fellow ed ouch ether lu iiuick succession.
The British ut ence replied tothe lire nnd
the spectacle became magnificent.
The American artlllery was silent for a
time and as the British sharpshooters ap
proached, started upngalti. A Hank move
ment en the American left was made by
the British reserve. The Second Virginia
regiment scemM unuble te bear up against
the lire and lied te the reserve line.
The American reformed their position te
the northern runt of the field and the reit
reseututlen of the battle or Neith Point
ended. Accoidlngte history the British
did net at ence attack (he new position,
and Iho Americans skilfully get out of
the way and joined the army
before Baltimore. The sham battle
hew ever was continued te show what
might have happened if the attack had been
peshed at onto, and of course the eucmy
were fort is I te an inglorious retreat, though
they retired lu geed order. The American
troops In the engagement numbered about
2,350 and the British about 1,300.
lu a lull lu the light the Sun correspond
ent en the British field was arrested as u
spy by two members of the National
Guards. He was condemned te death
without a trial, n bandage placed ever his
eyes, :.nd he wus made te kneel in the mud
le meet his deem. A militiaman stepped
oil a few paces und tired. The corres
pondent was knocked ever en the grass
and was supposed te be dead.
A paper shell dropped upon the head of
u member or the Second Virginia regiment
and exploding there, blew the soldier's
helmet te pleccu. The unfortunate fellow
recovered consclessness lu a short time.
It was runny te soe the American army
eairvlng ammunition rrem the British
lines during the battle.
