STATE FAIR GROUNDS. (See Engraving.)
The Fair Grounds are situated about one mile and a half from Washington street, north of the city, and are accessible by rail- road, and by well laid out streets and carriage roads. The Peru railroad line, being the nearest running to the grounds, have laid a branch track whereby visitors are conveyed from the Union Depot direct to the Fair grounds, at the charge of five cents each way.
The inclosure contains thirty-six acres of land, and was a spot, even at its purchase, of great natural beauty, though only made fit for the purpose to which it is now adapted by a vast outlay of money, being under the direction of those who possessed the taste to adorn it with the proper attributes of art.
The principal ticket office is situated on the south side of the grounds, near which are both the carriage and foot entrances. The carriage drive takes a circuitous route through the grounds, giving the visitor a view of the several halls, the race course and stables.
Nearly the whole of the north side of the grounds is occupied

by stalls for horses, of which there are two hundred. The cattle stalls, numbering two hundred and fifty, occupy the extreme west end, the sheep and hog pens adjoining. These stalls are sub- stantially built, well covered, and abundantly supplied with water.
The halls, already built, are five in number, and intended for the exhibition of machinery, domestic manufactures, farm pro- duce, fine arts, etc., together with a large and commodious dining hall.
The race course, situated at the north part of the grounds, convenient to the horse stalls, is one third of a mile in circum- ference, well fenced in and leveled.
The committee house is a two story frame, situated about the center of the grounds.
During the last fair ,there were several tents erected for exhi- bition purposes, the time being too short to complete the whole of the buildings necessary.
By the next fair the managers intend erecting a pagoda, with a music stand attached, which will form the most attractive build- ing on the ground. .
The location of the State Fair permanently at Indianapolis, will give entire satisfaction to all parties. Our State Capital has facilities for access through its "spider-web" of railroads center- ing there, which the capital of no other State possesses, and hence the manifest propriety of a permanent location in Indiana, when, perhaps, the same might not be true of any other State.
By the liberality of the citizens of Indianapolis, and the aid afforded by a number of the Railroad companies, the Board have fitted up and arranged the most beautiful and convenient Fair Grounds in the United States. The entire fixtures are built of pine lumber, and combine all the modern improvements and con- veniences of the day.

NORTH-WESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY.
This Institution is situated in the north-eastern portion of the city. It is a brick structure, with stone foundation, quoings and copings. The style of architecture is the collegiate gothic, happily blending the substantial with the symmetric and grace- ful. The plat of ground on which this building is situated, em- braces twenty-five acres, covered with primitive forest trees, whose rich foliage and dense shades are suggestive to the classic student of the consecrated glories of the Ancient Academy. Although but a few years established, there are many evidences of its prosperity, It embraces two literary societies, the Mathesian and Pythonian,

both prosperous and vigorous. Its financial prosperity is indica- ted by the amount of stock secured by the Company, which is $103,800, besides $20,000 or $25,000 outstanding and unclosed. accounts.
The usual chemical and philosophical apparatus is secured, as is also a superior cabinet of minerals. This institution is under the patronage of the Christian Church, the religious character of which is thus defined.
A part of the work of the Institution shall be to teach and in- culcate Christianity, faith and Christian morality as taught in the sacred scriptures, discarding as uninspired and without au- thority, all writings, formulas, crecds, and articles of faith, subse- quent thereto. In conformity to the spirit of the charter, the Bible is used as a text book.
