"baby Day."

There was a "baby day" at a great fair at East Aurora, N. Y. From a long and elabórate report of the in ter ; esting event, furnished by the Buffalo Express, the following is summarized The biggest baby show on earth ís over, and it was a great success. To see nearly half a hundred babies, in as ! many mothers' laps, sitting in rows on a big platform under a tent; all dimpled and rosy and pretty; cooing, : laughing.nursing and crying in unisón; is no uncommon sight. To know that the president of the United States, the governor ot New York and enterprising business men in all parts of the country had offered prizes to the already unusual interest created that the babies were the one crowningattraction otthe day. Everybody talked about the babies. The women tried to kiss the lucky little prize winners; the maidens fed them candy; dignified olddaddieschucked the dimpled pets under the chins - and laugned; i and many a spruce old dame smiled on the Liliputian throne, and claimed a grand mother's interest in each rosy buncbof human clay that Rat thereon. Not the least interesting group was that composed of bíx little negro : bies, representing a3 many shades of color, from chocolate to coal black. : And all the mothers were queens in that little domain. True enough it secmed that - The hand that rocks the eradle Is the hand that rules the world, for the mothers had everytliing their own way, and the fathers were proud ■ and pleased to let them have it. In a building somedistance from the j baby exhibit sat Mrs. Albert K. Dart ' of East Hamburg, who six months '■ and two weeks ago gave birth to three strong, healthy, well-tormed children at one accouchement. She is the wife ot a farmer, is of medium size, and these are her first children. The total weight of the babies at birth was ; twenty-seven pounds. They have not yet seen a day of sickness, and the mother is robust and strons. Two of the children are girls- Ida and Mallie - and one is a boy named Rav. All are blondes. Tothemotheroftheseinteresting tripleta wasawardedthe $10 piece sent by President Grover land. All the afternoon a stream of people passed through the building to eee the mother and her little family. Th next most interesting attraction was the benchful of white twiti babies. There were several pairs. The highest prize, $5 in gold and a set of silver teaspoons, was given to the mother of Frank and Freddie Howey of Buffalo, thirteen months old. The second prize. $3 in gold and a set of teaspoons, went to Annie and Maria Sheldon of East Aurora, nine months old. The colored twins, Romeo and Juliet Johnson of Pittsburgh, who ; tered for the $25 prize offered by Qov. . Hill, did not arrive iu time to be seen by the crowd. It's expected that ' their parent will be on the grounds with the little black pair. It is said ; that twins are more unusual among colored than among white people. George Hackett, a child not entered for any prize, attracted much ', tion as he sat in a carriage with his mother. He is but three years old, yet he weighs ninety-eight pounds . -as much as many men. At birth he ■ weighed but seven and a half pounds. His father is a wagon-maker at ! Smithport, Penn., and both his parents are of average size. The child has never known a sick day; is very bright and plays with other children at nis home as heartily as any. He is believed to be the heaviest healthy cbild ofiis age that ever lied.
