Fairhanks' Stanit.irrl Kq1oq I iiai 00,1,7 mivoH OSTRICH EGG. Among the curiosities in the relic department in the Main Bnildiug of the last week there was an ecg. big almost as one the toy balloons so numerously pediil 'd about fair gronudH. It was placed on exhibition by Mrs. llatvey W.

Humes, daughter of Mr. Ken ben Acker, of No. 1125 Turner street, owner a large farm north-west of the fair grounds. came as a present to her from her stepbrother, Mr. John Nntch.

son nf the wife of Mr. Acker by her fiist marriage, mho procured it from one of the numerous ostrich farms in California while with tbe Sells liros. Forepaugh Show loss canvasman. It attracted great attention from visitors inspecting the relic department. ostrich is the largest of nil known birds, and this reason is in its native conntry termed the camel bird.

It is distinguished not only for its great size, bnt for the beunty nnd value of its featherB, which are nsed chiefly tor the ornamentation of ladies' hats. The full Brown birds stand feet bigh. The head is small, aud the neck destitute of feathers, being clothed only With a few scattered hairs. TLe feathers of the body are blackish; those on the wings and tail white, sometimes marked with black. The thighs are as bare the head and neck, and the legs ban! and scaly.

most distinguishing features of the bird are shortness of its wings, which are furnished Bpurs, and the peculiar arrangement of their feathers, which utterly unfit tbe bird for ll'ght. ostrich appears to have been known lrom earliest times; it was forbidden in the Old Testament as an article of food. Tbe female lays from 10 to 12 eggs several times a year in a hole the Band, and broods over them only in the night, leaving them to be acted on by the sun during the hottest part of the day. In its native country, Africa, the ostrich is huuted for the great value of its featbera for exportation, but caught with difficulty, as by aid of its wings it is to ran far more swiltly than the rl etest horse. The Arabs and Moors have two methods which they are enabled to come up with them.

the one case one of tbe hunting party pursues bird, which always runs in a circniu rn direction, as long as possible, anil then the chase is taken up by another on a fresh hnreo. and so on until the bird is worn down. The other method for a hnnter to cover himself with nn ostrich foreuabling him to approach the rl ck sufficiently near to surpiine it. The ostrich in a tame state, nnd probably also when wild, is apt to swallow with the greatest voracity such indigestible bubstancefl as iron, nails, stones and bits of or leather. Tho onlrieh farms in California have a great number of birds chii fly for marketing the feathers they produce, and which bring owners big money.

Tbe most pal pable catch penny devices coined money.

I he country girls were loaded down with gaudy artificial flowers, horrible pin wheels, and cheap jewel all purchased by tbe hush swains. most pleasing feature in the exciting event-- the week was the remarkably good order ob served throughout. Where so many people are to congregnte, embracing all classes of society, it is natural to suppose there would be grave disturbances of the peace, but. we are happy to there were tew or no disorderly occurrences year, nnd that tbe police officers had bnt li'tli do. And it is to be remarked too that notwithstanding the immense quantity of beer that was as may he judged by the fact that the Soi ie receivod as its percentage from the bar sales of beer stand on the eastern side of the grouuds tbe week, in lieu of rent, nearly $3000 cases ol indulgence were but very few.

There was considerable thieviug going on on the grounds, that is to be expect in big crowds when people carrying valuables are careless and thoughtless. Last though not least, was the fine appearance the thousands of visitors, and especially those tbe country, glowing with ruddy and robust health, the noble sons and fair daughters of Lehigh county; where can we find nobler specinif m- mankind than the farmers of Lynn and Wei-senburg. tbe Macuugies, the Whitebaits, or along valleys and dells of the MilfordB and Saucon. Young men of herculean frame, with bronzed hands and faces, evidences ot the farmers' toil, young women the very essence of health and beauty, cheeks like toscb, teeth like ivory, and a breath as Bweet as the odor of flowers. No round loulders.

wasp waist and narrow chest that re the cotton appliances of the dresBmaker t( ive a proper outline; no pinched features and hollow cheeks, marked by a hectic spot, showinn inward suffering, but Bnch as are made by the air and painted by the glorious sun of their rural hills. We have thus written out a long sketch of a over tbe Fair ground, and, as a publio journalist, given some account of what so pleasuntl engrossed the attention of many thousands of people during tbe week. We were the more pleased to it because we never had a better exhibition, a more interesting and beautiful display, and nevei before so full a general contribution of articles, a to which th-i niany thoui-ands of people who visited the fair will bear testimony. Tbe things which were exhibited, demanding a premium, were product of our own county, and of our own people, and showed either the experienced farmer his fertile soil, or the Bki.lful handicraft ot artisan and mechanic. Large numbers visited the fair, all went merrily and successfully on.

though the weather was had at times, and visitors were pleased and delightid with the exhibition of 1899 Our descriptive history it is lingthy, and necessarily crowded out many other items. Apart from the enlarg3d knowledge gained of the industries and resources the county, which alone would be Biiltictent recompense there can hardly fail to come to the thoughtful observer the feeling that in what ii-said of the fair there is the reflection of a life of which he henrs bnt little, and which is nevertbelcst busy and important one. One would sometimee think to read the newspapers, filled for the most irt with murders, suicides, politics and Bpor'S. these represented the life of the people. Bui wjen be goes to an agricultural fair and sees tue ousnnds who there exhibit tbeir cuttle ami their firm products, the fruit of hard work and intelli- nee, that are bat seldom noticed in the pnb prints, he must conclude that after ad the newe piper is bnt the reflector of the inci tents of the and not of its main purpose.

And here we Imve off as we began, by Baying fiat the 48th rnunal luir of the Lehigh Count Agricultural So tiety waB a grand success as an ex hihition, even though the receipts were not quite to those of list year by reason of the unfaror able weather on several dayB.

Buokart, Lititr, TH' iCE TRACE. Itaco Track. It has the Bent Record. 3.0GX of any Track In the World. The trials of speed, as usual, attracted much at tention.

There were quite a number of fast horseB entered the ring as contestants for the several purses, and the trials were conducted with so fairness that although all did not win there none who were dissatisfied. The event of week, however, on the half mile track, was breaking of KB record on triday (the postponed of the day previous, owing to bad weather.) previous speed record of the track was a an offer of $250 was made by the society to owner of the horse making the best time in race, trot or pace, beating 2 10, in addition to purse of $700, and in addition to the above officers of the society offered $250 more to the owner of the horse able to beat the world's record on a half mile track. The first heat was by "Prince Alert," a strong brown horse, passing the judges' stand in 2.10. The second was however won by Democracy" in 2.07, best speed ever shown on the track, equalliug world's record, and quite naturally the crowd wild. But "Democracy'" wonderful tri was short-lived, for in the third heat Prince Alert led in the start and maintained place to the end, coming in iu 2 07, thus again breaking the previous great record.

In the fourth deciding heat Alert" again led off and came amidst great cheering in 2 0rt. These were four fastest heats ever made on any half mile in the world, two of them being the bw if test made by any horse Anywhere, Grand Stand, 3.10 feet In length by 60 feet In width with a Beating capacity for 6000, and for 3000 in front. The grand stand on the grounds was crowded clear day. Though it is of a capacity for accommodating 6000 people the selling of seats had be stopped at 2 in. Friday except for standing only.

This shows the iuterest that is taken well conducted races, and a county fair without its trotting and pacing contests would be an exhibition shorn of its leading attraction, or at that feature that interests the greatest number of visitors. There is something irresistibly fusciuating about a horse race, and we have been that such weakness clings the most tenacious to the poor seeker for the straight and narrow path" of orthodox goodness. The ladies were greatly pleased with the races, aud looked on apparent great anxiety, because they believed there was something exciting in the contest, knowing little or perhaps caring less which horse won. There are some people who say that horses absorb too much interest ut fairs, I ut we differently. The horse is a noble animal, we confess to a strong liking for him.

We like see the powerful draught horse, the fine team for carriage purposes, the fast trotter, and the find) formed tliorongnbred racer. All tbese are nselui their way. Mankind always has loved horses, will continue to do so. There must be, too, exhibitions of the speed of horses at our fair. can see nothing wrong or oblectiouable in them and it is these exhibitions that bring in the crowds and the dollars to award toother premium exhibits oquully or more useful, but that have no attractive power.

The separators, the threshers, co-n shelters, (odder oiitters, the winnowinu mill, nnd the cider will, are now made that they can bo mu by simple ami cheap power uiactnuery MoU or the iu -merits exhibited were good, pos. searing nif jsoful and lalior-snviug features aud attrai s. I here were threshing machines, portdhle urm engines, self-binding harvesters, reapers, mowers, hay forks, cultivators, laud roller, riding and walking plows, corn planters, check rowers, harrows, patent fences, and nearly every kind of machines for which the farmer has Bny me. The display was of a larger and far more v.iried character thau ever before, and all of the exhibits came in for a great share of attention, for every one. it seems, is more or less interested in anything that has a tendency to lighten toil or expedite the work of the farm or household.

The collection showed many articles the motion 1 utility of which was apparent on first inspection. Every description of implements calculated to facilitate and lightun the labor of the fainier and agriculturalist wbb to be seen, and all of the most approved style and elegance. Indeed, we have on no former occasion seen a more extensive and varied display of labor-saving machinery. One grand object attained by fairs of this charaoter is the bringing together of farmers and inventors, aud the facility which the display affords to the former to estimate the comparative meiits of rival machines, and the introduction of tliofe which are new in this part of the country. While we looked at this display we were forcibly reminded how many aids the genius of the me-chanio has given to the farmer in the last forty years how much all his labors have been lightened, simplified aud cheapened 1 A great chnnge has been made in agricultural implements within a few years, and manufacturers have made n-e of fairs to advertise their wares, and by which meanB they have aho been brought under the immediate notice of the farmer for commenting upon their excellence or imperfection.

These are some of the advantages and benefits tt it have resulted, directly aud indirectly, from agricultural fairs. It is at our fairs where the various produo-tioua of mechanism are brought together, and their differences seen aud noted, that ideas of improvement are suggested. There is little doubt that we owe the advantages we possess in the art of husbandry over our ancestors more to the fairs than to all other causes combined. In this department the Messrs. Cathcart of Yardville, No Jersey, had in operation one of the celebrated hydraulio steam cider presses, driven by a 6 horse power steam engine.

It was of a capacity for 89 gallons of apple juice per day, and produced 4 gallons of cidor from a bushel of apples. The ma-ciiiue was kept very busy each day, the product being consumed by the throngs of visitors that collected almost as rapidly as it could be dipped out of the receiver. THE CARMAOE DEPARTMENT. In the carriage department under the grand stand, and in a large tent along the machinery grounds, there were loti of fine carriages, buggies aud sleighs, in which to take life easy, all built after the coachmakers' latest And most approved styles. Even the inexperienced eye could see at a glance that strength, lightness, comfort and beauty were eccouiplished in the construction of the buggies aud carriages.

The exhibit as a whole was one that the builders could be proud of, for it defied the closest inspection to find, as in the case of Wonderful One-Horse Chaiee, somewhere a Weakest ALL (lAMHLERS BARRED OUT. A creditable feature of the fair was the absence of gambling devices. Fakirs there were by scores, ami they extolled the merits of their articles, but there were no games of chance except the cane racks and platter throwing, and if anybody was swindled it was with wide open eyes by purchasing articles for more than their value. THE CAVALCADE. The grand Cavalcade of all the horses, oolta nml mulett around the raceoourse on the morning of each day was an attractive feature, and received with marked pleasure by the people.

The many horses as they in pleasant panoramic roview passed before the eye of the spectators the heavy-chested, strong-limbed, well-formed dranght horses, whose docile aud easy movement showed careful aud judicious training, as well as the neat, active, clean-limbed, gracefully stepping roadsters and trotters, the mules, colts, and the proud an 1 haughty carriage and riding horses, all snberh in style and action, and commanding the most rapturous admiration. As President liotb sptly expressed it, it wm in itself worth more thau the price iid for admission. ME MUSIC. The muslo on the first day of the fair was furnished hy the Euiaus band, on Wednesduy by the Pioneer and Allentown Bands, Thursday by the Pioneer, Fiilay by the Allentown and Pioneer Bands, and Saturday by the Allentown Band. The Allentown Baud occupied tho iw band stand iu the wooded irk.

and played chiefly high-ohus concert music. Tho renditions by the other bands The Now Band Stand In the Wooded Park, erected at a COKt Of $000. were also very fine and greatly appreciated. The Allentown was however the chief drawing attrac tion. It is a hand that stands without a rival in the Statu.

Their music is of a high order a har monious blending of the grave and the gny with no discordant notes. The cornet, clarionet, picolo and trombone players are exceptionally fine, bnt this remark applies with equal force to every one of the members of the organization. Mr. Klingler. tho able leader, has every reason to feel proud over the perfection to which he has brought his men.

Tho Fountain near the Band Stand. It didn't sprit: after Wt-duesday bause of too much rain. TnE DISPLAY OP MINERALS. The display of the large collection of specimens of the many varieties of iron ores native to Lehigh county, all owned by the sooiety, ta also samples nf limestone, cament stone, sand atone, nomuce. fern leaf coal, samples of cinder healings to the degree of 45, mineral paints, umber, sienna, were inspected by many with great interest.

The specimens consisted of red oxide iron ore. hematite iron ore, Indian Btone, magnetic ores, mica, a glacier boulder from the Blue moantain, Bait stone, coke, bitnniiuotis coal, blue sand stone, pomace stone, metallic paint earth, raw umber, raw sienna, THINGS TO EAT. The great American stomach is always on ex hihition upou any public occasion iu the United StateB. and to appease the yearning of this ad junct of the human anatomy a hundred or more eating stands were on the grounds Berving everything from saner kraut and oysters in every form to fall dinners, the latter for a quarter. After all said as to the big and only great Allentown Fair the biggest display was the great American appe- 'W.

The privilege for the keep of the place is each and every year given to me highest bidder on a per centage bam-d on the gate receipts foradiiiinsion to the grounds, usually 21 or 22 per and the rental for Fair wet-k of lant year alone was The lessee this year had 42 barkeepers in employ, who nw-d 1740 beer glansiM, tile. Every visitor to tbe grounds brought Mb Btomach along, and stands with everything eiiime wnvlaid the neonle at every turn. There is a hotel" on the ground, 2T9 feet in length by SO feet in width, and one Btory high, in which beer tappers were in employ during fair week, anil where a person could get the fever of his throat relieved, and there were, besides, stands ut every turn where the hungry could suppress the cravings of their relentless appetites with pretzels, sausages ami peanuts, cakes and candies, etc. The Uestanrant under the grand stand was splendidly and profitably conducted.

Both regular mealB and lunches were served, as deBired, everything of the best, and tbe least of the place was highly complimented for his kindly efforts to make all who patronized bis well furnished tables fuel that they received the worth of their money. THE PUEMIUM AWARDS. The list of premium awards will be ready for distribution next week, bnt in advance of its ap peal ance it may lie said that a good many of the best premiums for horses and cattle were captured by exhibitors from neighboring oounties and from other States.

GKRLACH, Aug. 3iKmJ West Bethlehem, new Fetter's Hotel. ANOTHER MUKDEK. A Hungarian wedding celebration iu Upper on Saturday nitht resulted in a shooting affray, one victim of which died at the Allentown lloi-pital at 1 o'clock Sunday night, and another lies there seriously wounded. Fortanately for the reputation of Lehigh county, which has had five murders so far year, the affair occurred in Northampton county, but it was only 100 feet bctobb the line.

The CatoBauqua police arrested two men who were there, against one of whom there is strong evidence, but against the other very little. George Knpchog, a butcher, and AllieOlla. both native Hungarians, had been married during the afternoon in tbe town ball in Catasauqna. tbe ceremony being attended by several hundred their country people located in the Lehigh valley. The ceremony was performed hy Volkay, priest of the Orthodox Gretk hnrcu tit Sheppton.

hchtiyikill county. Amo ff t'ioe present were a number who hold to I 6 Unitxl Greek church. There is considerable la.i blord between the followers of the rival branches the Greek church. The membeis of the United church were advised to stay away, fenring that tbeir presence wonld incite trouble. Alter the ceremony the usual feast held by these people followed.

Tbe festivities were well nnder the guests having imbibed without limitation of the bolinki" a mixture of alcohol and which had been supplied in abundance. When (he bolinki" had produced tbe desired effect the talk turned upou religion, aud John Vasco something disrespectful about tbe Orthodox mnrcli ami its members. It was tbe signal for a Qght.

THE IKON TRADE. There was a good de mand the past week for all kinds of iron and steel, and prices contiuue exceedingly firm, with a slight advance on some classeB of material. Most the buying of the week was for delivery in the half of next year and some of it was for the entire jeiir. So far as this year is concerned there is so little material available that sales are limited to a small volume. Iu nearly all branches material is scarce aud prices still show an upward tendency.

Figures as they now stand indicate that trade is approaching the phenomenal noint. many would like to Bee values make a halt. with the bnying side pressing the market it is impossible to hold back rates, and under the cir cumstances figures are being paid in urgent cases which do not fully show tbe condition of the market. In the pig iron market there has been a fairly active demand dnring the ist week for all kinds, and priceB are fractionally higher. A number of round lots have been sold at full prices and several small sales have been reported at what ap peared to be fancy figures.

The market is irregu at the close of the week, prices for eertain brands ranging higher than at the beginning. lbe tendency is still toward a higher range of values. 'Ibis is brought about by tbe oversold condition of furnaces and tbe apparent continued increase in consumption. The following quotations about represent this market for theBtandnrd brandB of Northern iron, tidewater delivery No. foundry.

$23 50 to $24; No. 2 foundry. $22 25 to tSJ.TO; mill iron, $19.50 to 520. AN OLD LIMESTONE OUARRY RAPIDLY GIVING OUT At Kower's Siation, on the line the East lVnn. K.

there is a limestone quarry that has been in operation for over 30 years, and continuously supplied the nrnaces at lemple ntation with fluxing stone during said period. Ihe land belonged to the long since de ceased Jonathan Uower, and passed to several ownerships before the Temple fur nace owners, secured it. They finally bought tbe quarry tract at a good round sum, which they were glad to pay, since tbe stone were of the best. The quarry hands have however been gradually getting nearer tbe bottom line of tbe bed vein, and it is expected that the entire supply will, owing to the early prospective exhaustion of the bed, have to be abandoned, and for that reason the Clymera have been endeavoring to purchase the adjoining land, but are unable to get it at the price they are willing to pay, and owing to which the chances are now that they will soon have to get tbeir stone elsewhere. They are looking around for a suit able quarry with a view of purchasing it.

but it hard to eay whether they will be able to find one as satisfactory in every respect as the oue now almost exhausted, which has been the main stay of Bower's Station for over aatiarter of a century, and when finally it is shut down there will be no work for many of its people, and they will be obliged to go elsewhere.
