CEDAR RAPIDS, Sept. lS.-To-day, the
third day of the fair, was an interesting
and exciting one. The crowd was almost
double in number of that yesterday Ex-

gratifying to know that none who came

have been greatly improved since yester
day. All exhibits are now in selected
shape. except few displays of farm ma
chinery and appurtenances. There are
many new and novel displays, The fair
this year IS not by any means stereotyped
edition of the last one, The display in
| stock is not only creditable to Iowa, but
really remarkable. Such beautiful ex-
hibition of native aud imported blooded
stock is seldom seen in any state fair, and
so far as it goes no better was ever seen
at worlds fair. The racing to-day was
very interesting. Un Friday there will be
sight upon the track. G. l.. DeWolf.
