MORE THAN FAIR.

the crowd thicker. and the fun l%ivelier
The streets of the city, proper, wa
thronged at an early hour, and a stead,
stream poured toward the grounds.
The hotels of the city are having al
that they can do to provide accomoda
ton for strangers, and cots are in a rush
ing demand, while all the restaurants
are running full.
The exposition building is still the cen
tire of extraction at the grounds. 1t il
acknowledged to be the best building OF
the kind in this part of the world, and as
now decorated and filled, it is an exposi.
ton worthy of the name, sure.
The fare from Omaha to Council Bluff
and return, including admission to the
grounds, has been reduced to 80 cents,
and the dummy trains run clear up tc
Broadway. This ought to draw many
from across the river to see to-day's rare
sport.
All who have family tickets should re,
member that they are not transferable,
and, if presented by those not Of Their
own families, they will be taken up al
the gate. They only admit those belong
ing to their own family.
The starter and judge in the races w.
J.. Hancock, deserves special credit fol-
the admirable manner in which he has
performed his duties. Prompt and just,
knowing his duties thoroughly, he has al.
ready won the praise and confidence OF
all, and to him is due much Of the enjoy.
ment and success of the meeting.
The usual fare to and from the grounds
is 15 cents, each trip, whether by street
car or other vehicle. One Of the busse,
last night charged its crowd % cent?
each, which made the passengers take I,
solemn pledge to avoid the 'buss and TAXI
other means Of getting to and from Thu
grounds. Fifteen cents Is the regula,
rate, and there should be no attempt t,
raise the rates. Folks will naturally pre-
fer to ride in other vehicles at 15 cent
than to pay a bus 20.
THE oULTR SHOW
is not q very large one, but is excellent
and those who fail to visit this building
will miss much. j. w. Rsdefer show,

fine bull. r. p. Treynor has a large and
excellent showing of short-horns. G. p.
Browne, of Omaha, has some of the beau
tiful Jerseys. III. S. Gallagher, N. G.

4 FINE DISPLAY OF CARRIAGES
is made by the well-knownmanufacturer,
William Snyder, of Omaha. There are
three open buggies, one fine carmine
open buggy; N fine English bronze
open buggy, one carmine top carriage and
one family pheton. All of these vehicles
are indeed beauties in appearance, and
finished in the most modern and work
manlike manner, while the reputation of
the manufacturer, and the test of wear
and tear to which his carriages have been
subjected, are proof sufficient that they
are thoroughly made, and none but the
best material used.
The display on the fair grounds is a
creditable and attractive one and the dis
play of this make of vehicles as seen in
daily use on our streets is no less credit
able. Snyder has not only good goods
to show but good goods to use. The dis.
play is daily visited by scores of admirers,
and the very name Snyder" draws many
to see for themselves the products Of i
factory of which they have heard Sc
much. The closest inspection fails t,
detect the slightest fault of make or fin
ish, and the general style and finishing
of the vehicle is fine indeed. The famil,
phaeton is especially a beauty and excitei
many words of praise. Snyder not opl,
does himself proud, but the fair as we'll
by his display.
A FINE WINDMILL,

ton of many, as it shows in working s.
