Elgin Driving' Park. The fall meeting of the Elgin Driving Park Association will be held at Elgin, Oil., Sept. 9, 10, 11. and 12, 1890, with H,100 in purses. Following is the pro- ramme: •• *'• I. a slight stretch of the truth which facts will not bear out. By our files we learn that last year the receipts were $4,594.92 and it rained two days at that, while, if our memory serves us aright, there have beon years not far back when the receipts were over $5,000. Now we are not making these remarks in disparagement of the Fair just held, but as some little souls, who have a per­ sonal grievance, have seen fit to throw out slurs in relation to the former man­ agement of the Fair, we cannot refrain from reminding them of a few facts. When A. S. Wright took possession of the office of Secretary, the Fair was vir­ tually dead. Heroic measures were Nec­ essary to resuBcicate it, and of course it required money to do it. He spent his time and succeeded in bringing the Fair to a standard and reputation second to none in the United States. And with all due respect to its present officers, we think that the success of the Fair this year is largely due to the high standard it had attained under the management of Mr. Wright. Therefore we say "honor bo whom honor is due." Had it not been or his efforts we believe McHenry County vould have had no Fair to-day worthy f the name. The Democrat makes the stab that it was run this year without politics. We care not at this time to discuss this mat­ ter, but would simply like to ask the Democrat if the management'this year did not try hard to secure Rusk, Spooner and Hoard, of Wisconsin, and failed? Be consistent, gentlemen. As we said before, we have no disposi­ tion or reason to find fault with the present management of the Fair, but we don't like to see small souled individuals vent their personal spite over somebody else shoulder. Biscuit and Honey Festival. At Ringwood, Wednesday evening, Sept. 10, there will b® a "Biscuit and Honey Festival and Money Donation," proceeds to be applied on pastor's sal­ ary. There will also be a stand on which ice cream, candies, &c., will be for sale. All are most cordially invited to attend. A pleusaut evening is expected. COM.

DKTKCTIVE BENTHUHEN, of Nunda, has just recovered the horse stolen from Munshaw, near Algonquin, on the night of August 12th. He found him in Indi ana. He has also located the thief, who \ is an old offender, but he proposes to ' place him where he can get a bounty for his capture. This is right. Nearly every sounty in the state, except McHenry, are offering liberal rewards for the capture of 1 thieves, and there is no good reason why vie should not do so. It is for the public interest that these desperadoes be cap- yured, but an officer cannot afford to 4pend his time and money for the nig- 'gardly fee the Board of Supervisors may see fit to give him. Benthusen is aterror to all evil doers and should receive fair pay for his services. Let the Board of Supervisors, at their coming meeting, put up a liberal reward for the capture and conviction of all thieves. It will be an act that will receive the commendation of all right thinking people. YOUNG man, dost thou go abroad in the land at night and rush the growler and perambulate with the feminines? Dost thou hoop 'em up with the boys and figure for the substance of the jack­ pot, and bank thy shekels against the eyerrslippery tiger? Art thou a guzzler of beer and player of cards? Dost thou suck a ten cent cigar, and has thou lost thy grip on the ways that are right, and wisdom which is good in the world? Verily, verily I say unto thee, if thou art in a bad row of stumps, it will not be long ere thou dost know thy name ia pants! Thy heels will fly up ere long, and thou wjlst wake up and find thou hast fallen into the soup. Keep thy eye on the gun, and monkey not with the in toxifying juice of the bug. Steer widely of the man with the aces, and in the ripened years of thy life thy pockets are full of the collateral of the earth, while those who mind not these command­ ments are partaking of the lunch which is free.--Ex. DID you ever think of it? Suppose every business man in town took as tpuch interest in the upholding of the tbwn and forwarding all public enter j^rises as the newspaper man. He works for railroads, manufactories, schools and churches, good streets and ro^ds; urges, pleads, scolds and badgers and cavorts around generally. Imagine his feelings when some lame, stringrhalted kind of a fellow reproaches him because he don't boom things enough. If the town does boom and the prices of real estate advance and the owners grow rich from the result of bis labor, he makes nothing by it. He is like the poor boy at the circus--he can stand aijjl look $t the pictures witbput the ueceesary quarter to gain admission. JOLIET.--Excursion to the prison" city, Thursday September 11.

House on Sunday evening, Sept. 7th, with new scenery, new costumes, properties, ballets and music, aud with a cast which represents some of the best talent to be found in the United States. Over 200 people will be engaged in the performance. The ballet of 60 coryphees will be headed by Mile. Paris, the celebrated premier danseuae asoluta, and Wm. Martini, well known as one of the cleverest grotesque dancers in the United States. Since its first production here "Bluebeard Jr." has been seen at the principal theatres m the .. United States. Its remarkable runs at the Tre- rnont Theatre, Boston, at Niblo's, New York, and in Philadelphia, where it was received with the most flattering encomi­ ums of the press, has stamped it as one of the best attractions of the kind in this country, and it is admitted by long odds to be the most perfect spectacular pro­ duction ever given on the American stage. At the Chicago Opera House it has al­ ready been presented some 20 weeks. In the forthcoming production the story of the piece will be substantially the same as that written by Clay M. Green, the author of the libretto, but the music has been amplified and rearranged by the best musical talent available. In addi­ tion to the large ballets, the "Ballet of Birds and insects," and "The Light of Asia," the striking children's^ divertise- ment entitled, "TheChildren in the Shoe" will be introduced. The reception which this terpsichorean novelty met with has induced the management to amplify this portion of the entertainment, and instead of 20 children participating, there will be over 100 utilized. Of course the "Little Lords Fauntteroy," who figure in the piece as the children of the bigamous Bluebeard," will appear. But the many novel incidents of the performance are too numerous to be recapitulated here, and it is only necessary to add that the entire performance will be even more elaborate than before. Over $25,000 have been expended on thej^pj^uction, and every care has been taken that the pre­ sentation will reach the high standard which has been earned in spectacular ex­ travaganza. The cast is as follows: Messrs. John D. Gilbert, Douglas A, Flint, Ed. Piper, Geo. Delmanning, Jas. Delmanning, and the Misses Jennie Eddy, Grace Addison, Laura Clements, Jessie Villiers, Edna Searing, Nellie Herbert, Grace Hollingsworth, Beatrice Hamilton, Lottie Neville, Carrie Noyes, Josie Will­ iams, Minnie Murray, Aneta Frozier, Marie Picault, and Jessie Gorham. Mr. Alex. Spencer will be the musical director. ALGONQUIN. EDITOR PLAINDEALEH On Monday of last week, Mrs. A. 8.
