The dairy show was limited, there being

showing the variance in color of each sum-

Biography. The Herald's display of book
work was, indeed, a good showing for a
Montana printing Office. The display of
wax work was very limited, there being but
one exhibitor and two frames, contai. ing
wax flowers. The display of %jellies, cakes,
etc., was very good-at least it looked so
and | believe it would have tasted nearly as
we'll as it looked. The. display of ladies'
"tixings," such as quilts. mats, childrens'
wear, embroidery, ETC., was very beautiful,
though | am told the number of entries
were less than last year. There were many
pretty things that come under the heading,
ETC., which seemed to your HUsBANDMAN-
man worthy of special mention, but which
he, without assistance, disperative of under
taking. Suffice it to- say Floral was a grand
array of artistic beauty, as tastely designed,
and well executed and arranged as the rich
est thoughts and fairest hands of the conn-
try could make-creditable to any people.
Taking all together the fair was a good
success and an enjoyable event. Financial
ly its success was better than ever before.
The management was also a success; and,
though some bought pools on the wrong
horses, no complaint has been nlaale.s The
improvements to the grounds in erecting
the large ampitheatre and making other inn
provements, added much to the comfort
and pleasure OF the occasion. The restau-
rant, which was under management of the
ladies of the Episcopal church, of Helena,
also supplied a needed place in the pleas
ures and comforts of visitors to the grounds.
