THE Music STAND.
AS we pass along toward the upper end OF
the hall, the music stand, with its reed and
strinxed instruments, is the next feature Joi
attraction. The music here discussed fastens
an involuntary smile on every face, joy in
every heart. It is the life ahd ssul OF the oc-
casion.

Of the occasion, and consequently he's Z
heavy run. We baited the hook once, but had
business in some other direction. Seine kind
friend insisted on telling us what we had San
gled'' but we can't remember it ct this pres-
ent writing.
Turning ON our heeI--for we have seen but
half the sights-We are arrested by the grand
display on the
REFRKsHMENT TABLES.
The tables are about thirty feet long aad
capable of seating from fsrty to fifty persons;
are full to oEerfowing- - Jinks
would cay, beneath the infinite variety
and unlimited abundance of all the substsll-
tials and delieacies of lite. Meats and viands,
cakes, sauces, jellies and fruits without limit
or stint, furnishing rs fine an entertainment
as was ever spread before An appreciative as
semblage in this or any other country. This
department was all furnished, arranged aad
presided over by the married ladies Of Boze-
man, and certainly does great credit to thess
especially who took such deep interest in
the matter, and sustained the attractive sea-
lures of this important p IT Of the entertain
r.ent to the close OF the Fair. This feast Of
good things was presided over by Mrs. Al
derson, Fridley, Beall, Rouse, Clark and
Rich, the mere mention OF whose names il q
sufficient guarantee of success and satisfac-
ten in thisrimportant feature OF the Fair and
Festival. But We cannot stay here always,
however desirable, and 80 pass On to the
PRIzn CAKE STANDS,
Which are, il possible, more attractive than
the fruit cakes and other coed things just
passed. from the fact that they are known t.
contain costly articles of Montana jewelry.
Two prize cakes from Mrs. Anderson, one
splendid one from Mrs. Hawks, OF the Guy
House, one from Mrs. Dunphy, of Hamil-
ton. and three from the City Bakery--all con-
tributed except those ordered from the
bakery. Passing the fine display OF fruitand
confectionery we confront the last, but not
least attraction.
