The premium list of the twenty -
seventh annual Stare Fair, to be
held in llaleigh , comrnericing on the
18th of October next, and continu
ing for the week, has beeu issued.
As usual, the fair authorities have
offered some very handsome premi
ums, which will no doubt secure a
larffe attendance of farmers, stock
raisers, etc , etc. Some of the most
important premiums are as follows :
Cotton. For largest yield from
QvU acres of land, $40; for best
bale, $30. The aggregate of the
premiums for cotton is about $350
Tobacco. For best ten pounds
bright lemon wrappers?, $20 ; for
best ten pounds mahogany wrappers,
520, with smaller premiums for other
grades, in all amounting to about
$3,j0.
"or corn, wheat, oats, rye, rice,
pe. s, seeds, etc., etc , the premiums
ire verj liberal ; some of them being
as high as $40. In these depart
merits the premiums aggregate $200.
Hay. For the large&t yiell from
one acre, the handsome premium of
$30 is offered.
Horses. This is an attractive por
tion of ! he premium list, especially
to the owners Of line horses. About
three hundred and fifty dollars are
offered in this department. There
will be no competition from horses
from other states, but all competing
for pr miums wut have been owned
in t be state at least six months pre
ceding the fair. The fairauthorif.es
hae in view the encouragement of
horse raising i.i our own state. This
is as it should be, and since our peo
ple have gone into the iras3 grow
ing business so extensively, Here is I
no reason why as fine horses should
not be raised in North Carolina as
any other State in the Union.
Cattle, The edtle raisers will lie
especially pleased with the hand
some premiums offered in this de
partment, the amount aggregating
about six hundred dollars, divided
between Jersey's, Guernseys , Dev
ons i Ayrshire?. Short Horns, IIol
steins. Ileri-fords, and grades or
natives, In tins department, cattle
competing for premiums must be
owned in the state. And ju-t here,
we would suggest to the executive
committee that the time has about
arrived when this department should
be conGned to cattle rai?ed in the
state. Nowhere in the South can be
found finer cattle than right here in
Wake cfur.ty. The receut cattle
show by the Wake County Cuttle
Club would have doac credit to any
state.
Sheep and swiue. In these de
partments, handsome premiums are
offeted, also in the poultry depart
ment , in which several new strains
have been included.
In the other deparments orchard
products and floriculture, pantry
supplies, manufactures, mercantile
displays, ladies' work, fine arts,
paintings, &c, agricultural imple
ments and machinery, liberal premi
ums are offered. 'The department of
paintings &c , offers special induce
ments to home artists, and ind.c
ations are that this department will
be well patronized.
The races. There is at least one
excellent change in this department.
The running races which l ave be. n
objectionable to some of our people,
li-,vi I.immi rntirolv omitted, and the
trials of speed will be confined to
trotting and to horses owned in the
. . . I
state.

money paid in this department has
pf-n taken out of the state to the
"reat dissatisfaction of some of our i

mittee has acted wisely in providing
that this shall no longer be the case.

should always be si-:fl."ri.t ui pay

'The foundation on which every
sharper works is avarice," sail the
same fakir after lighting a fresh
cigar, " aod he is as apt to catch the
citizen of a big town as the farmer
living by himself. I was attached
to a circus for several seasons, and
my statistics proved that the biggest
share of my money came from towns
people. I had n whe-il of fortune,
two or three patent medicines, a
prize drawing, etc., and I have taken
more money at once out of a lawyer
or merchant than out of a country
man. It is curious how all sorts of
people will invest their trionoy on a
wheel of fortune. There never was
one m-sde which did not give the
operator seventy-five per cent, ad
vantage to begin with, and by trick
ery this advantage is increased fif
teen or twenty per cent. You mu-t
know that the operator has things so
fixed that he can stop the wheel at
will. In a town in Rhode Island a
member of the common council who
was accounted one the sharpest men
in the locality left $200 with me be
fore he quit my wheel. If there is
any raffling or dice shaking it is ali
fixed , of course. In the prize draw
ingsS ybu may find gold and silver
watches and sums of money displays

ness on the sale of liver invioratora
and consumption cures. Roth rera
edies are made of the same materials
to wit, water, whisk-, and one or
two extracts. In ton; Olud; a
fakir connected with our show sold
130 bottles of liver invigorator and
208 bottles of onsumption cure in
four hours, and not over one quarter
of the lot was sold to farmers. When
you appeal to a man's avarice yoii
hit h:m hard; when ou gtt him to
thinking his liver is out of order, or
that he is consumptive, you can take
his last cetp. You have seen the
glass bulbs filled with reddish fluid
winch fakirs claim to te-t the blood
wi'h? Any one of average sense
must know they are frauds, but. I
have seen the best physicians in a
town pay their ten cents with the
rest. About the only thing con
nected with the outside of a circus
which is not a fraud on the public
is the electric battery. That's all
right, and the owner will give ou
all your money calls for, and some
times more.
THREE CARD MONTE.
"Now take the three-card monte
business or thimble rigging. Those
two games have been worked for the
last fifty years all over the United
States, and the public has been
warned against tl. era tens of thou
sands of times. They are still the
most profitable games to be worked.
Even old gamblers arc enticed to
bet. Several years ago, while I was
tsking a vacation at a health resort
in Wisconsin, a couple of the 1 rater t
itv c: lied for mv assistance to he p
'work' a farmer. TliC intended viv-
tun was a sharp, keen man, about 3'J
years old. He had been everywhere
, 11 1 1 . 11 . 1. .,1
una was un on nil uoages. ixe uuu
'
been tried with the gold brick and
treasure dodges, but had refused t
bite. U e held a couiu 11 ana neciaeu
unon a plan. He had three or four
1
fine horses for sale, and the trio of
us drove out to his place to make a
purchase. We were Illinois stock
raisers and horsemen, and it was ap
parent that he s'zed us up for fdiarp
fellows. One of my companions,
whom I will call Jim, did most of the
talking, and he alone desired to do
the buying. Jack and myself sat
down on an old hay rack in the
barnyard, and scarcely noticed the
horses as they were paraded up and
down in front of us. At the proper
time Jack took out his cards and
began to show me how it was done,
I bet him that I could pick out the
card , and we began to talk in loud
tones and attract attention.
"The farmer finally came over.
He knew all about the game and
smiled in pity at the idea of being
caught, but in less than ten minutes,
and that without any urging from
any of us , he had bet and won $10.
That was the entering wedge. He
was allowed to win 30, and then
cleaned out of $40. His spirit of
avarice was now thoroughly aroused,
, and I'm telling you the solemn
; truth wLcn I say that he put up tin
i horses and walked into the house
; and brought out a bag containing
: j'JOO in gold. He sat down with
greedy eyes and pale lips, and wot
and loet until we had bis last dollar.
There was no explosion when he had
parted with his last gold phce. On
; the contrary , he volunteered th
! statement that all had been fair and
j above board. An aiterclap always
accompanies such events, however,
and we got out of the state just a
he had secured warrants for our arm
rest. 'The safest game worked in the
couulry to-ttay is the counterfeit

it. I supply myself with a lot ol

the business, and willing to be dog

not tumble at $50.ride a pad at 100
or do the bareback at $200 to $2.0.
Circus performers are essentially
itinerants. Not only are they con
tinually traveling from one city to
another, but they visit nearly all the
countries of the earth. After a per
former has made the rounds of
America for two or three seasons be
finds it advantageous to make a trip
to Europe , thu3 avoiding what is
t-rmed ' ' wearing ojt" with the cir-
:us going public. Three out of four

Vha incessant deman Is of his pro

are so great that the average per

impossible. IVihapj a majority ol
the ''artists" save money each seas
on, and many of them are men of
family, owning houses in their na
tive country.
Notwithstanding the belief op.
portunity for rest and sleep afforded
by railway transportation, show life
is anything but play, as is quickly
discovered by the silly boys who run
away from a0me to ' follow the cir
cus." Even the performers , c Xeept
ing only a very few , are required to
play many parts in the t-ires day .
appearing five or six times in the
ring during an afternoon, and an
equal number of t mes , of course,
during the evening. This means ten
or a dozen changes of co.tume.t best

aent Day seizes the opportunity to
impress upon his listener's mind the
fact that all circus women are ladies,
ami thev ate at all times carefully
protejtcd from insults, "Just as
soon as a lady performer begin to
develop in her specialty her services
become valuable to somebody, and
that somebody sees that she is taken
care of. Contrary to the general im
pression, almost in p: Cgnttnle safe
guards are thrown about the lersohs
of women who earn their livelihood
in circuses differing widely in this
respect from the conditions met
with on the stage.'
Just without the" dressing room,
and near the cu-tain through which
the performers itake ll.eir entrances
and exits, is a tented ante room. I
Here thS performers gather in groups
to await their call. Here the trained
