UIoomstnirK, Oct. 11.-A vast thronj?. variously estimated at between 25,000 and 3O,n00 persons, filled every foot of available space today of the grounds of the Columbia County Amlcultural and Mechanical asroclatlon. It was the'' third day of tbo fair held hero and like vosterdny bro!oall records In matter of attendance. The huge fjran'l etnnd, with a eoatlnsj rapacity of 5,000, was crammed full, over a thousand' persons standlnK whllJ the trotting and purlnK races were run off- On the Midway tbe crowds that surged up and clown the spaflnus grassy streets made travel slow and laborious. The various entertainment!) on this j-art of the fair Rroundo Wero well pat ronised, fiom the canvas lent where h man Is burled alive ti the Moorish Pillar and "Hosco. who eats 'cm alive." In the field opposite the Ki-anrl-stand, there nro over a thous and posts for hitching purposes, and yesterday afternoon e ery one of them held fawt one or motv horses. It was n great gatherlnc; of happy, well dressed city ond rustic folks, all out for a good" time and most of them neemed to get what they cams for. If they did not It certainly was not the fault of the fair managers, for their efforts to make this their best exposi tion wero Hucccssful. Fines Imposed.

Hc iween the laces the fl.Ofln spectators In the grand-Ma ml had the tedium of waiting between heats allayed by a vaudeville performance on the plat foim opposite. Here there were given a couple of actobatlc turns by clever .racialists, a tiour": of trick doss, two of whom fight a good four-round boul, u hoing match between a woman idutrgcr and a man, the latter having the worst of the engagement, and then there were dog races in single, double and four-in-hand carts. The exhibits displayed in the mam moth main hall were all viewed by thii judges yerterclav and their decis ions Tendered. Over .:,000 in premium money for this blanch ot the fflr will be disbursed to fnrtunaln winners. The cattle, poultry. s.vine and sheep have elso been awarded their blue and red llhl-ons.

In the campaign of 1S06 It came to the attention of leading Democrats that an unknown orator In a certain western state was making a mighty stir among tho people, winning from the Itepubllcans the expressive title of "Tho Singed Cat." Several letters from Democrats in adjoining counties were soon received, asking that this orator be sent to them, and testifying to the convincing power of his argu ments. But, according to tho story as it Is rcitiently related in Democratic headquarters, the supreme test of this spellbinder's power over an audience came when hu was addressing a mass meeting In a densely packed skating rink. Mischievous young men got out the village fire engine, hauled It In front of the rink, and pounded Its gong with a violence that, for a moment, completely drowned the voice of the orator Inside the building. Ills audi ence started to stampede, but he checked tho movement by a command ing gesture. Then, placing his left hand upon tho top of his head, he shouted; "Right here Is where the fire Is! And It will not be put nut until It has helped to light bonfires that celebrate Mr, nryan's election," Stopi the Cough and works off the Cqld.
