THE FAIR CLOSED.

Our State Fair at Reno closed yesterday
after meeting of six days. 1t was not the
good fourtune of the writer to be able tc
attend our State exhibition, but from all the
reports, verbal as well as those obtained
through the press, we are satisfied that the
Fair was in the fullest sense a success The
mechanical department was not filled as it is
annually filled in older States, and yet the
showing in this line at Reno was great i'm
provement on former years, indicating plainly
enough that even in the matter of mechanics
Nevada is making encouraging progress In
fruits and vegetables, both of which the
croakers used to say could never be success
fully raised in this State, our showing was
particularly creditable In the fine arts-but
perhaps the less said on this subject the less
ridicule. There may be high art in patching
log cabin quilt, especially if the artist be an
elderly lady lettering into the nineties, or a
gum-chewing young lady just merging into
her teens; or genius may develop itself
through the medium of floss or Berlin wool,
but we doubt the policy of time thus spent or
money invested for premiums for SUCH The
stock display at Reno, and by this we do not
mean the racers and runners put in for pur-
ses and for the benefit of those who know
how to call the turn in the pools, was good
enough for any of the older States. We are
assured that the thoroughbreds in horses,
cattle, swine, sheep, goats and poultry were
as fine as could be anywhere found in pro-
portion to the entries. OF course the attract |
i've feature of the exhibition was the daily |
speed programme, which will probably con-
tinue to be the case as long as we have fairs,
or until oar people have lost interest in the
horse or his capacity runner or trotter
Taken as whole our State Fair was as pro-
success as its promoters could have
hoped for, and of its continued prosperity
there can be no doubt if it's management is
by fairness and hberaity,

Mr.. D. is headed for San Francisco. He speaks
encouragingIy of the mining interests of Au-
rora and Bodie. Like most sensible men
with whom we have talked OF the subject,
Mr.. D. is of the opinion that the excitement
over the Comstock, particularly the north
enn, has had it's damaging effect upon Bodie
stock. There he's been no chance for deal in
the Bodie quarter, in fact, mines of real
merit have been permitted to drag along at
beggarly figures in the market, the fast
money makers the meanwhile turning their
attention to the north end Comstocks New
hoistings works are being erected in Bodie,
the old ones are all at work, the mills are
crushing, prospecting is going on in every
direction, and the outlook is full of promise.
Judge P. T. Colby, of Kern County, Cal
