From the opening until the closing of the gates the crowd was immense. The officers society did their best to make it a success from beginning to end, and nothing was left undone that would add to the pleasure or convenience of those attending. Right here we wish to state that Secretary Wright deserves a great deal of credit for his untiring energy and the way he handled his end of the affair. The McHenry County Fair has an excellent reputation throughout the country and many miles would have to be travelled before a better exhibition could have been seen. The entries to the various depart­ ments--cattle, horses, mules, hogs, sheep, poultry, flowers, fruits products of the farm, pantry stores, agricultural implements, manufactures, sculpture, painting and drawing, were not as large as could have been but those exhibited were in every way ahead of former years. The races were better than formerly and a great deal of interest was taken in them. The large purses offered, no doubt, brought many of the fastest horses in this part of the country out. The ampitheatre, which had been remodeled at an expense of several hundred dollars gives an unobstructed view of the entire track. The whole grounds were put in good shape and there was ample accommodation for the immense crowd that visited the Fair during the four days. • 4 On Friday Senator S. M. Cullom was the guest of the old settlers on the fair grounds, where he addressed a big crowd. Senator "Long" Jones, Of Wisconsin, also spoke for a few minntes, urging the people to return Senator Cullom for another term. Senator Jones was an early settler of McHenry county. After reviewing the early history of Illinois and declaring that at no period had the nation enjoyed greater pros­ perity, Senator Cullom said in part "This nation will never perish from: the earth at the hands of the foreign foe. We need have no fears on that score; our troubles will come from within; our danger is from a want of harmony and co-operation between labor and capital. But. in my judgment, our greatest danger is the possibility, of corruption in the conduct of affairs of our great cities, our counties, states and of the nation itself. /in a financial way the fair was (success the gross receipts amounting to pearly $7.000. ; Prof. 8.

The omnibuses were thefSTol soon laden with their jovial, happy freight and spending over the well known road to McHenry, a road grown prosaic to many because of constant and yet so bright with ita riclit'i^lure, its overhanging boughs almost hidden 'neath the prodigal con­ fusion of ivy and grape vine whose varied foliage blending so harmoniously is brightened, here and there by the golden bunches of bitter-swe&t berries, forming many a beautiful picture along the way side. When the company arrived at the station they found awaiting them, the McHenry members and a number of invited friends. As the train moved slowly out toward Lake Geneva, the car which had been specially provided was well filled withJfortv-five ladies jtflSrtl^ meuibers of the Brass Band, ywjpch accompanied the excursion. Of the vailnss interesting scenes in the car--the hypnotized conductor, the unstudied tableaux, the Pistakee yell, given so lustily by the charming young ladies of the. company, words fail to describe the charm of each. The trip to Lake Geneva seemed short in­ deed and the little company were soon enjoying the refreshing breezes of the lake, as they were carried in the steamer Bavaria to Glen wood Park, which was the mecca of the trip. Here indeed is an ideal camp. The commodious hotel with its broad porches and spacious dining room. The many ad­ jacent cottages, the expanse of water •fell" PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Our public school opened on Monday last with a larger attendance than anx previous year. In the high school there are 30 enrolled, in the grammar 34, second intermediate 85, firstaJliterme- diate 17, second primary &&, first pri­ mary 89, making a total enrollment of 177. ""There are 12 tuition pupils in the high school, 5 in the first primary and S in the first intermediate. Under the direction of Prof. Acgevine the high school attendance has increased from 17 to 80. This alone speaks for the efficient work done in this department. During the summer vacation the black board space has been increased, a large number of books added to the library and a complete science outfit has been purchased, A number of pupils have been study­ ing during the snmmer months and the the following have passed the examin­ ation in Physical Geography: Harold Cristy, Willie Claxton and Fay Small. The graduates for the coming year are nine in number. Harold Cristy, Willie Claxton, Fay Small, Charles Buss, AxmA Colby, Margaret Sutton, Jennie Smith, Jennie Walton and Len- ora Stevens. The corps of teachers is as follows: High School, Prof. Angevine; Grammar, Miss Agnes Perry; Second Intermediate, Mrs. Mary Cobb; First Intermediate, Miss Jessie Baldwin; Second Primary, Miss Frances Osborne, and First Prim­ ary, Miss Kate Howe.

After the dinner liad been enjoyed and with it the many fine selections of music which were furnished by Sweet's Trio of Aurora, III., the company reluctantly left the dining-room and gathered on the banks of the lake where snap shots were taken. A project to take a trolly ride to Harvard was soon suggested and responded to by a la^ge number, who were soon seated ha the cars ready for the start. This is indeed a unique and beautiful ride anddeserves special men­ tion, but time and space prevents us giving it at presssiC safficieat to say all felt well repaid. ' Arriving in Harvard a delegation were soon searching for "Jim Walsh" who with his associate editor, came to the car to greet the ladies. Of the return trip on lake and cars, they were but a repetition of those already mentioned, except that they were more subdued, owing to weariness. However, as all neared home they declared it had been a perfect day and a unanimous vote of thanks/was given the president, Mrs. M. A. Howell, who had planned and so per­ fectly carried out, a most delightful ex­ cursion. All returned to their homes feeling that it had indeed-been a red. let­ ter day in their lives.

"It seems almost incredible that in the neighborhood of $40,000 in actual cash should have been confided to letters during the last year, and harder still to credit that the most exhaustive efforts failed to find the owners of one-fourth of that amount," writes Patti Lyle Col­ lins in The Ladies' Home Journal for September. "The envelopes which are addressed are kept on file for four years, blank not so long, but id either case a liberal margin of time is allowed for claimants to appear before the money is finally turned into the Treasury to the credit of the Post-Office Department.

This feature of the Fair was a success as was attested by the many hundreds of old settlers who swarmed around the wagon and en­ joyed a juicy slice of the ox. "This makes me think of the ox was roasted here thirty years ago," said J. B. Perry. "The ox was gotten ready and put in the steam boxiaaiide by Dick Bishop, at 12 o'clock at night to-be ready early in the morning. When they looked to sea if it Was ready they found all the meat had dropped from the bones leaving the bare skeleton.

A €te*phle Description of BsrrMHa( in the Great Wheat Fields "With the first touch of gold on the beards a feverish activity begins. The farmer gets his binder and reaper ready and arranges with his neighbor to trade off work. Daily the thresher creeps nearer, now East, now West, but al­ ways farther North," writes John Northern Billiard in the September Ladies' Home Journal. "At length the men of the family ride away in a wagon to help a neighbor, returning at night with the news that' the machine may be here any time now.' The women are thrown into a flutter of excitement, and the next day, while the men are gone, the oven is filled with loaves, then with pies and cakes. The 'great kettle is hung on the crane in the yard and hams are boiled. All the buttermilk is saved to be sent to the men in the field,and root beer is brewed. The chickens are dressed and vegetables gath&ed in anticipation of the harvest supper. "At last the thresher, drawn by four horses, pulls to the field, and other Wfupps follow, loaded with singing, shying men and boys, most of them neighbors, only a few traveling with the machine. The last wagon will con­ tain women and girl neighbors, who have come to help get snpper and wait on the men. They come on to the house, bringing with them many dishes, knivet- and forks and table linen to help out the ordinary family outfit. Such shout­ ing and laughing and joking and ex­ change of good news and bad news! "In the windless September air the booming of the separator's cylinder* rise above the steam voice of the trac­ tion engine. Six teams are in the field hauling the wheat to the machine, and the feeder, with easy, majestic move­ ment, gatherg the sheaves under his arms and feeds them into the insatiable maw. All the afternoon the golden Straw climbs and falls over in the smoky air; the chaff fliee in a blinding clond; and the grain flows like a stream of sun- flecked water into the two-bushel meas­ ures, which are tipped into a wagon." :/ '.^1 ^ ' A meeting will be held this Thursday evening, at the town hall, for the pur- of organising a choral class, under leadenship of vV.
