OREaaoN STATE FAIR.
SALEM, TUESDAY, Oct. II, 1876.

At an carly hour this morning the sun |
shonc out beautiful and everybody appeared |
anxious to get to the Fair Grounds. at
which point all was hustle and confusion.
Taking stroll through the
PAVILION
we discovered that large number of new
articles had been entered for premiums. In
fact the whole thing appears to be a perfect
jam in that department.. In the art depart
ment we noticed a beautiful ornamental
painting by Miss Alice Scott, said to be the
landsomest thing of the kind ever seen on
Fair Ground.
THE CAMPERS.
The number of campers that had arrived
! last night exceeded anything of the kind
ever known within the history of the Ore
gon State Fair. Up to 10 O'Clock they
were still pouring in, and all the outside
precincts were to hear from.
THE SISTERS FAIR.
One OF the prominent and worthy features
of the ground is the Sisters Fair. A large
number of the articles to be sold are the
handiwork of the Sisters and their pupils,
/
| Among the articles to be raff1ed are a latiy's
| gold watch, an excellent piano and a beall-
titul sofa, all having been donated by trends
of the school. The postoffice department
| is under the management of Miss Mollie
Smith, the accomplished daughter of mine
host of the Chemeketa.
AT THE TRACK,
Monday afternoon, an exciting race took
place, which is said to have been the most
hotly contested of any that has ever occur
red OH the grounds. The horses entered
were Capt. Jack, by G. G. Glenn; Yakima.
by J. F. Bybce; Alpha, by VIM. Thomp-
kins. The horses secured an excellent
''se'rd off, Alpha taking the lead and keep
ing it to the half mile pole, where she was
passed by Yakima, who came home in
1:5Gl4. with Captain Jack second. The
second heat was very exciting one, Alpha
taking the lead again, but was soon over
hauled by Yakima, who held his position
until the home stretch was reached, when
he bid Alpha goodbye and came home in
l:5G, winning the heat by half length.
RECEIPTS.
We learned from Mr. f. NJ Waite. the
Secretary of the Society, yesterday, that the
total receipts were about 50, 500 in excess
of any previous fair on the evening of Mon
day. The crowd is greater than OH any
previous occasion, aud every sign gives to
ken for a magnificent success OF the fif-
, teenth Oregon State Fair.
