RUKAL' ON JHE FIRST DAY,
The Greatest Exhibition OF Fruits
and Flowers Ever Before Seen
in the Northwest,

l. "
announced for 10 q. m. Of YESTERDAY. and Rrv-
an Hall was accordingly opened for that pur-
poBe, but the attendance was net large. in
consequence OF the mixed condition of veget-
aoles' fruits and flowers that were being rap
IDLY put In position. In the afternoon the at-
tendance became larger, snd we eau say that
Inc prospect is more promising than it's most
tapgu'ne friends anticipated,
ihe show OF fruits is in all resnects tbe
largest and best that We have seen in thu
Northwest. The gallery was filed with fruit
earIs IN the day ard space was given in the
ma1n HAIL. The immense size of the app1es
pears and peaches from Egypt, astonishes
every one, and is worth mure Of itself than
the cost Of season ticket.
