where the products Of their industry
we're spread before tho public.
This was the big day Of the exhibition
and despite the unfavorable weather it
has met the expectations OF the officers
OF the association.
AS on yesterday there are two centers
OF common interest. the vegetable. fruit
and grain department and the stock dc.
partment. Visitors seem never to tire
OF gazing upon the displays arranged in
these departments and after they have
taken in all the display they go away
satisfied with the evidence Of Dakota's
prolific tendencies. Before the
is found the largest and most talkative
crowd. There are hundreds of visitors
who have lived in what is known % the
corn belt of the east, and it is their uni
versal verdict that the corn raised this
year in this section is better in size and
quality than the best produced in the
famed region of wealth from which they
hail. Other
FIELD AND GARDEN PRODUCTS
receive the attention their size and oual.
ity entitle them to and there is general
expression Of praise in their behalf from
all visitors.
THE STOCK,
which has now been twice exhibited
on the track, and has been
seen in the sheds along the
north side of the grounds by the multi.
tude thronging the ground, receives the
highest encomiums from all visitors.
The other departments have had their
share of visitors and all the exhibits
therein have been closely examined with
most satisfactory results. Yankton's
merchants and manufacturers have gone
to much trouble and expense to fill their
part Of the exhibition hall and have sue.
ceeded in arranging display Of the most
commendable attrsctiveness. Their
array of articles would make creditable
fair in themselves. The ladies have ably
seconded the efforts of their fellow citi-
zens and have brought together the
choicest specimens Of their skill and in.
dustry. All these articles are indispen.
slble and without them fair would be
too plain and matter OF fact to elicit con.
tinued interest. For their interest our
public spirited people are entitled to the
acknowledgements of the society and
the visitors to the fair. What they do
is wholly in aid Of the enterprise and
with no hope of reward to themselves.
