makes mp in quality for the lack in
quantity. At noon to-day all the ami
mails entered for exhibition were brought
to track and the aggregation Of bone
and sinew and fine blood was sufficient
to satisfy the ardent stock man that Da-
kota's prsiries are the natural home Of
these species.
IN THE CENTRAL HALL
there are great manv other attractions,
consisting of mercantile collections.
plants, flowers, paintings. the cunningly
wrought products OF the needle, the
many results of woman's skill in shaping
fine fabrics, the toothsome dainties O:
the kitchen and great many other
things which reporter cannot take in
at a glance.
The fruit department occupies this
building and it is extensive enough to
do credit to many of the old settled
states. There is large exhibition of
apples, plums, grapes and crab
apples-all evidence conclusive that the
best. of northern fruit can be raised in
Dakota. This is the largest fruit exhibi-
tion ever shown in Yankton.
The mechanical department is limited.
There is fair collection of agricul-
tural implements represented by Yank-
ton dealers, but no outsiders have found
their way to the grounds.
This forenoon was devoted almost en-.
tirely to arranging articles for exhibition
and completing work interrupted by
yesterdays storm.
