BIG THURSDAY-THE FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS. Ten Thousand People On the Grounds. Grand Parade of Horses Cattle. and THE RACES-OTHER INTERESTING NOTES SNATCHED BY OUR REPORTER. Programme For To-Day.

The third day of tin! 1Ttc lair diiwwd bright and dear, all day long the sun Mione bright and -warm; while a brisk refreshing breeze conspired to keep the atmosphere cool and balmy. At no time during tho day was the heat uncomfortable. About 8 n. in. the teams begun In pour in from the country by hundreds.

The numerous biases and other vehicles began lSkdo a rushing hilewthe Ft Scott trains which ran to nnd'froui the ground, brought in hundreds of people. Kvcnbody it was to be the biggest day of the f.iir and our citizens with one accord made a break for the opposition. From the iron bridge to the entrance of the ground-, there was one continuous line ol wagon-, carriages, busses, men on horseback and on foot. At the gate were hundreds of train and pedestrians waiting far a chance to gain admittance, many having to wait for hours before it came their turn to gel a ticket. The crowds continued to pour in uncca-ingly until i-'iO 1 1.

in. wh'ii we think it is Mifo to fay that there were fully ten thousand people mi the grounds. Those who ought to know taiil that the attendance exceeded that of any pevious year. Tbj amphtheutro, with a seating capacity of 2,000, was packed from top to bottom. Tho Horticultural hall was crowded, as wa also all the other halls, in everv department were vast multitudes elbowing their way in to iew the grand displays on exhibition, while an equally large number of people were distributed around in various portions: of the rounds.

All the swings, mueum and places of amusement were well patronized, while great throngs could be urn admiring the displays of horse-, hogs mttle and poultry. It was a subject of general "remark that notwithstanding the vast multitude present there was not a single in-tance of pocki t-picking or theft, and it may besaid to the credit of the association that the grounds were so thoroughly patrolled by policeman aud private watchmen, that' it was almost impossible for thieves to ply their operations with success. Our reporter joined in the throng that surged in and out of the arious halls, there much to admire in every one ef them, which rail-til the people to linger within their utlrnctixe enclo-ure-. reaping not only pleasure but a vast More of information lrom tho larious. exhibits presented.

As we described nearly all the display- in yesterday morning's i-sue, we'll not mention an this mnriiinn; thw urhibjtfi of the (olden KhUs store in .1 Xo. '2 and the exhibit of AVallace it Hoitck. in Clas of which wo neglected to give anything like good description yesterday. In the (i olden Jtulo's display is a splendid show case full of ladies and blisses shoes in all the late-t Mylos mid of superior quality. On the wall hangs a few specimens of beautiful Ingrain and Ilriis-clW carpets while in the interior is a very large display of fine French Merino drc-s goods, also some fine f-pecimons of ladies cloaks, mantles and dolmans.

These are only a few selections from their heavy stock at Xo. 1I, Douglas nu-nue. Through jhe kindness of their representative, Mr. .1. T.

Kelly, we had tho priilege of making a partial examination of the fine display of Wallace VHouck iutheimplimeut hall next to V. F. Derby's display. The first thing we saw was the handsomest sulky plow we ever saw. The painting is the mo-t beautiful and artistic in design of any implement on the ground, Kelly said that they had sold upwards of hundred of these plows in the lat two ears and that they gave perfect satisfaction, not one being returned.

There are also elegant specimens of the Hoosier drill, the John Deere corn planter and check rower. All of these are very finely et oil" by artitic painting and finish. Tlicy lmo twenty-live distinct varieties of spring work including Surrey's plui'toti-, buggies and carts, the Portland spring wagon, double steel reach, and numerous other aricties At 11 a. m. the parade of horses and cattle were called on the track and the thousands rushed lo the grand stand tilling it to its utmost capacity, the majority being ladies, while thousands of men ranged themselves around where they might obtain a good view of the procession.

The gates were open and the 1 Hi horses and J)7 cattle filed into the enclosure. It was a magnificent pcagant, consisting of splendid thoroughbred stallions, roidsters of all strains and bloods, fine brood mares and colts, heavy draft horses, carmge horses in harness aud all manner of line specimens of horse-llcsh moving around the track. Xet came the cattle Deavons, Ayershires, Shorthorn. Foiled Angus, Oalloways nnd.lcr-se with numerous crosses. The display elicited great admiration and was one of the chief attractions of the day.

It was inijKissible to inspect all tin stock at once, so they were ordered back li their stall again, and lot 12 and 13 horses thoroughbreds and roadsters, were called but for inspection and tho awarding of premium Fred Dennis siiperihtendent. mong the finest specimens in these lots were two fine thoroughbred stallions belonging to O. 15.

Stuckley. We weru unablo to get the names of the ownen. of tho cattle but all the prize stock will be on parade this" morning and we will speak f. them in detail. It being now noon the i remainder of the forenoon's programme wa- continued to tho afternoon's proceeding and everybody made a rush for dinner.

it was amusing to witness the scrambling to get into the dining hall of the W. T. lT. and to the various lunch stands. All these had vast quantities of edibles or every l0 ilok inteHoctually bright and win-kind but they xvere all gone in a jiffy and Ilna altogether harmonious they hurried a lot of teams off to the city physically and mentallv, but if we were her for a fresh supply and then not more than father brother or liu-band, and it became half the people were able to get even a uvccsfaxy harangue the boys by moon- lllllCIl.

Gouger, of Indiana. She was listened to by an immense crowd in and around che grand stand and the way she pitches into the two great political parties and the "National Liqur ague" was a terror to snakes. She said she was here representing the grand and holy organization known as the "Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The organization liad been in existence only ten years and now they had 300,000 active working members. They liad made their power felt in the legislatures of almost every state in the Un ion, and now their guns were thundering at the gates of the national capital.

She said that the men told them that they are glad to sec thoee women advocating temperance and morality, but they must not mix temperance with politics, but she said there was politics in whisky and whisky in politics and they were after politics and whisky, and would down them hoth.The two political parties cared nothing for iiiom.Iity.a11 they cared for were the offices. She said that in states where the IJcpuhli-cans ere ovrrw hclmingly in the majority they had courage to take their stand in favor of Prohibition and in the south whefe the Democrats were largely in the majority they took the side of Prohibition, but in doubtful states neither party dared to stand on a prohibitory platform. After she had spoken half an hour, the people were beginning to get tired of it and wanted to see the races that were then called. 3Ir. Longer however, seemed to be wound up for ju-t so long, and she was not willing to quit until she was through, and there were a good nianv present who were anxious for the performance to continue, but the order of the general prevailed and the horses came up to report for tho 2:45 trot.

A woman named Mrs. Olougar stood in a buggy on the comer of Douglas nrcnuu and Main streets and talked to quite a crowd of men xho hapjoned along, last night by moonliglit. We noticed the crowd but could not i-atch her "words. A bystander said she was talking woman suifrage. It is just that spectacle more than all other things combined a woman out of her place xvhich prejudices so large a majority of men against woman suffrage.

A woman subjecting herself to public gar.e and criticism to public life means more to the average man than women as a rulo cjui be made to i imuersirimi. iv line mo average man nas Mill. imiiKisHion he shrinks when the it 1... Hiea sug motcr or daughter who would be imxiHl crowd on the street bv philosopher onw that "no man, living or dead, hoover lmdeMed.wv xvomaji forfivemin- utos at are like religion, we muss take thorn on faith or go without." That philosopher may have nude a bald statement, but vve verily beliex-e that no woman understands the deep aversion tliat the average man holds to a woman "stumping it." Mr- Gougar is said to be a fair woman s. hiring some third rate oflice seeker to do it while we wont home to enjoy the presence that should be there ever, riot only on moonlight nights but in the daylight as well.

RANDOM FAIR NOTES. In the presence of such a sucttes as the fair of yesterday, criticisms mightnlxdly be in order, so what is said here may be accepted as suggestiona. The grounds are not in the best location, there boiag several objections, but tho principal one is that a very long bridge is to be crossed by vehicles plying litween tho grounds and toxvn, and by the entire people of the city, lo reach them. One mile north or one mile south on this side of the rix-er would bo a better location. Another thing, the grounds are" too circum scribed.

One-half of the people yesterday failed to sec one-half of the show. The track is not a very good one and never will be unless mode o-cr, besides it is inaccessi- bio. It is also too narraw. It will bo remembered that one of the leading objections to the old association xvas tho fact that all kinds of games xvere allowed upon the grounds. Things xvere permitted there yesterday which we believe indefensible.

As to some of the side shows, if they were per-missahle at all, they should not have been placed xvherc they annoyed very many people, and took up space to xvhich the patrons of the fair were entitled. One of the stairways leading to the ampi-thcater gave way yesterday afternoon going down xvith a large number of people. There xxcre two ladies and a boy and Mr. J. K.

Stone under them at the time. The ladies o-caped xvith a few bruises, but the boy and Mr. Stone xvere both seriously hurt. The boy xvas carried otr unable to stand or xvalk, and Mr. Stone, who xvas ai-tcd bx" his son- Hen Aldrich, xvas still suflerring greatly last evening, but the doctor was unable to decide just how serious his injuries were.

A man was accidentally shot by one of the target guns at one of the booths on the grounds yesterday. The wound, which xvas in one of his legs, was a x-ery painful one, but it xvas thought not dangerous. Mr. Ohatfield's horso becime frightened al the racket of tho military band of one of the side shows, and got around quite lively for a time, upsetting the buggy over against another, and dragging Mr. Chatfield on the ground cutting and scratching his face somewhat.

We said the grounds are too small. Xcither are they properly enclosed. Hundreds and hundreds of people men and boys, xvere on the grouuds xvho did not pass through the gates. Of course vve understand that the society is new, xvith anything but a plethoric pockctbook, yet it would have paid them largely lo have had the entire grounds closely patrolled. Tho blue ribbon was awarded lo the new-high arm Davis sewing machine.

The iron bridge stood it nohl tortx doiih le teams being counted upon it at once and yet it showed not tlie least distress. The greatest fair-day ever experienced in this county. All honor to tho management that brought about tho great result. Sedgxvick aims high and always knocks the persimons. Tho byciclc race was a pretty sight and was so closely contested that it was only "wnn by a nose." The dust xvas rather familiar and the xvind a trifle frisky for a first-class day as far as weather was concerned, though the display and the day's programme more than mado amends and everybody agreed that it wa a stunner.

It took an hour for all the teams to get out of tho grounds through two gates. A solid stream of teams reached from the park to the city and no tolling how much farther. The crowd was enormous. There were people of every description and an almost limitless number of them on the grounds yesterday. A (icrfect sea of teams were hitched both inside and outside of the enclosure.

Elbowing was the "cheese" yesterday, but all were good-natured and happy. i Tho races were first-class yesterday and there will be more good ones to-day. 1 A CIRCUIT OF FAIRS.

Only nine Commandments now; there uod to lie ten, but wo had to break one to get a copy of the AVichita Daily Kaglf. in order to clip the paragraph headed showing how wealth is created in Kansas by honest industry, as indicated by the history of Sedgwick county, which has grown up out of nothing in the last dozen years or so, and now has about twenty mil lion- worth of property, not brought there, but created, coaxed out of the rich prairie soil by" the gentle tickling of the plow in the hands" of her farmers. And the city of AVichita, with her twelve thousand prosperous people, and the handsomest daily newspaper in the west, i part and parcel of Sedgwick county; and forty' other counties in Kansas are just like Sedgwick, with cities like AVichita, more or Cultivator and Herdsman. WICHITA, KANSAS, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A South Market Street Lady-Shoot Herself.

A report was current upon our streets last evening that a lady had attempted to end her existence by shooting herself. Our reporter hastened to the scene and found the report to be true. Mr. and 3rrs. Geo.

H. Prewitt removed to this city from Ottawa, about two weeks since and purchased a cozy little home on South Market street in close proximity the 'Wichita "Western Railway. Kver since their arri-x-al Mr. Prewitt has leen in a despondent state of mind occasioned by her removal from the friends of her youth and her entire new surroundings. Mr.

Prexvitt became alarmed at her continued despondency and telegraphed for her father, Dr. Godfrey, to come and attend her. He arrived yesterday-morning and in company with Mr. Prewitt had occasion to be absent for a short time during the afternoon, leaving her in chanre of Mrs. Phillips, wife of C.

I). Phillips, of our cracker factory. About 3 o'clock Mrs. Phelps stepped in an adjoining room upon an errand and was immedfatlely startled by hearing two shots fired in rapid succession, upon rushing into the room she found the lady laying upon the floor. It appears that immediately after Mrs.

Phelps leaving the room she arose, taking from a draxver in the dressing case a 23-calibcr rex-olvcr, and took deliberate aim at her left breast, fortuneatcly the I ball took a slanting course otherwise, death must have followed instaiitaiieo-ly. Xo trace of the second bullet could lie found. Drs. Fabreque and Furley xvas summoned and succeeded in extracting the ball which had passed around and lodged in her back. The doctors do not consider the wound necessa rily fatal.

Mr. Prewitt stated to our representative la-t evening that his wife xvas resting easily. Ho xvas at a loss to account for tho act, as she xvas of a particularly sunny disposition and they had always lived mo-t. happily together. -I HE FRENCH SPY." The largest and most enthusiastic audience of tho season greeted Waite's Union Square Company in "The French Spy" last evening.

The hall being crowded to its utmost capacity and standing room being at a premium. Miss Ncilson as "Tho Spy," more than sustained her previous excellent reputation; she done an excellent piece of acting in the town scene. .1. It. AVaite acted the character of' "Mohammed" in a masterly manner.

J. W. Carner kept the audience in continual roars of laughter. The combat scene between "The Spy" and "Mohommed" xvas excellent and held the i fiirir.Mfn in hrpnililiss snrnris- The entire entertainment was 'first-clais, thr cast bcinf excellent. The company produce the mirth provoking comedy of "Widow lledott" this evening and those desirous of an evening's enjoyment should secure their seat" as early as possible.

Buffalo, X. Oct. 2. The following is the address of Gox-. Cleveland: Felloxv-Citizens: I can hardly tell the people of Buffalo how I rejoice to-night and how greatful I am for this demonstration of the confidence and esteem of myjriends and fellow-citizens.

I have resided among you and in the city xvhero all my success in private life has been achieved. To-night I come to you after tho longest absence that has occurred in all that time, and yet within the few" weeks that have passed since I saw you last, an event ha happened of supreme importance to me and that places me within tho nation's gaze, and the honor it has brought to me I ask my fellow townsmen to share, while I acknowledge with grateful heart all that they in the past have done for me. Aji-plaiisc. But two short yean" ago you stood steadily by my side in every effort of mine as the chief executive of our city to advance its interests and xvclfiire. AVhatevcr I xvas able to accomplish of value to this community was largely due to your strong and intelligent support; nor can I ever forget tho generous endorsement you give my candidacy for tho high office which I now hold in the state, and I assure you that in its administration I liavc received no greater encouragement than the approval of my friends atnomc.

What 1 have and heard to-night has touched me deeply. It tells me that my neighbors are stilt my friends and assures me that I lmve not been altogether unsuccessful in my efforts to deserve their confidence and attachment. In years to come I shall deem myself not far wrong if I still retain their opinion, and when "surrounding cares and perplexities bring but anxiety and vexation, I shall find solace and comfort in the memory of davs spent here. Kecal'ing the kindness of" my Buffalo friend, but other friends arc here to night aud to all who max- tender me their welcome, I extend a licartfelt greeting as citizens with mo of the greatest commonwealth in the sisterhood of States and immensely interestrd in the general Because I loyc my andpeo-ple I cannot refrain from reminding yoa that she should 1m; in the xan of every movement which promises a safer and bcter administration of the general government so closely related to her prosperity and greatness. Applause.

And let me leave you with the thought that your safety lies in" impressing upon the endeavors of those intrusted xvith the guardianship of yodr rights and interests a pure, patriotic and exacting popular sentiment. The character of the government can hardly rise higher than tho source from which it springs, and the integrity and faithfulness of public servants is not apt to bo greater than the people demand.

BLAINE. IN CINCINNATI. CrscrxxATi, Oct 2. Mr. Blaine breakfasted this morning long before he was accessible.

The hotel halls and corriders were crowded with people attracted thereby his presence and that of General Logan. As soon as Mr. Blame's rooms were opened callers began to pour in and the pressure continued all the forenoon. Several dclega-ti6ns called to pay their respects, one from the Irish-American Republican League, who presented resolutions and assurances of sup-; port. In representing the Republicans of Tennessee one was sent to urge Mr.

Blaine to visit uic exposition, ana one representing the Jewish element. At 12:10 Mr. Blaine was escorted to the Chamber of Commerce where he was very xvarmly received being introduced by Cant AV. AV. Peabody, president.

Mr. Blaine said: Gentlemen. I ouite appreciated tho personal courtesy and com-' pliment in times of high politicafexcitoment ol the body composed of members of both parties receiving me this cordially. In my present position, I beg to thank" you for it sincerely. I alway take great pleasure in visiting "your city." Eight vcars ago on the occasion of my last visit, I was complimented by tho chamber as I am to-dav, I watch the progress of this city with great interest.

It has been to me, from earliest boyhood, an object of interest. I was born ami reared upon the waters that connect directly with Cincinnati and I can say what probably no other man present can say, that in my early manhood 1 made fifteen "trips be tween x-iiisuurg ana Cincinnati on a steam boat on the Ohio river. That refers to ar age now almost iintedcluvian. rLauchtcrl Hie railway has taken the place ot the steamboat and yet as I have said in congress and on every public occasion where it was proper tliat I should say I think it the great western city do not full appreciate the magnitude of "the value and the advantages of this vast island navigation, stretching onward to the gulf, which affords an outlet for a vast growth, and gives in a substantial form by nature's own bountiful hand that great demand of all commercial transactions -and cheap transportation. Loud applause j.

maiiK you again geniiemen, ior your courtesy and shall not in a temperature of ninety, delay you longer." Paralizing cheers During xvhich 31r. Blame retired. CrxciNXATl. 'Ohio. Oct.

2. Durine- tho whole dav tho admirers of Blaine and Locan have kept tho Burnett lioue and its neighborhood 03 noisy and crowded us the national convention hall. Upon Blaine's return from his drive ho had tho usual difflculty in getting to his room and when ho did get there he was allowed to remain, for the people outside were provided with brass bands and kept up a constant storm of martial music, cheering until Mr. Blaine and Gen. Logan were forced to show themselves on tho hotel balcony.

They bowed and spoke few words of tfianks and then retired amid acclamations of the crowd. Later General Logan left the hotel to visit the cx-ei position and again there was uproarious cheering.

Chicago, vjcioner -s. ine statement is published here that John McCollough, the tragedian has not been informed that all his engagements have been cancelled. After rehearsal Tuesday afternoon he was shown letter from Mr.

McViekc-r, in which his illnes and consequent inability to do himself justice were specified as reasons for closing tho house. Tho actor xvas lying down at the time, but rose and dressed himself and, in company with his manager, went to Mr. McA'icker's house. He was angry nt lirst, but Mr. Mc-A'ickcr succeeded npparantly in convincing him that the action taken was for the best.

The tragedian returned to his hotel and accepted the situation. Ho supposed, however, that the lierformances were to be re sumed at Detroit, the next place on the route, and nothing was said to disabuse his error. Careful watch was kept upon him all niglrt and all day. Early yesterday ne reau wnai me newspapers had to say about him, and in tho evening went to the Tremont house and told Miss Tracy that ho intended to go to Detroit at once. She pursuaded him to wait until evening.

Miortly nelore i clock he ordered his carriage sent to the depot and proceeded to the theater himself. His friends withheld his baggage and two of Pinkcrton's men followed him. They found him walking up und down tho platform xvith Mi-s Tracy and apparently in a calm frame of mind. By a little strategy Mr. Brooks, his manager, induced him to enter the carriage and ho xvas driven back to the hotel, xvhere ho arrived very excited and very angry.

Ho struggled desperately and struck Mr. Brooks with his cane, and another 6ccno followed in inducing him to reach his room. Miss Tracy followed him to tho hotel crying consolingly, but she succeeded in calming tho actor and bringing him to realize- tliat ho was not in a condition to till any engagements for some time to come. Just what 3Ir. McCulIough intends to do could not be learned.

AVilliam Conno, the manager of John McCulIough, and Mr. Thompson, a friend of the actor, arc both now in Xcw York, have been telegraphed to come and confer with tho tragedian and friends hero in relation to taking some action in regard to his future. McCuIlougli evinces a slightly improvement to-day. He slept quietly two or three hours, something he na not done for two or three days. WHISKY RECEIPTS.
