THE SALT LAKE HERALD TUESDAY, OCTOBER s. 1885
THE BEAVER COUNTY FAIR.
An Excellent Showing of the Re-
sources of Southern Utah.

Saturday last, Thomas scho6eld, Jas.
Farrer. George Hales, J. n. Sudwick
and William Robinson each received
the usual sentence by Judge Foreman
for the offense of unlawful cohabitation,
the defendants declining to make any
promises; and shortly after the imposi.
ton of the Judgment, were en- route to
the Pen. R. Maeser, the editor of the
| UtOnian, was also called up for sentent e
| on q case of libeling same important
personages known hereabout as deputy
| United States maFshals. The editor, TO
save the annoyance of being convicted
by packed jury ,discreetly plead guilty,
with the understanding that by so do
| ing he would be exempt from sentence
of Imprisonment. The judgment of the
court was that he pay fine of 500 and
costs, the latter amounting to the rather
exorDitant sum of 1855. This closed
the most important business before the
court and the latter tribunal has filled
in this week thus far with some rather
unimportant routine business.
The present week is somewhat of
A GALA SEASON
with our citizens, from the fact that our
annual county fair is now in full blast
in this city and during the latter part
of the week the quarterly conference
of this stake is also to be held. As
regards the county fair l would say
that it has proven to be an unqualified
success. The exhibits were many and
varied.
The Beaver Wooden Mills exhibit was
better and larger than ever before, COM
prising a nice assortment of unadul-
terated wooden blankets in half.a-doZen
different colors and of exquisite finish:
suiting and dress goods In all the latest
patterns and colorS, besides Gne as
sortment of hannels and yarns.
As would be naturally expected, the
ladies took up q good portion of room
at the fair in a very fine showing of
industrial as well as fine art products of
their skillful fingers. Crazy patchwork
was one of the prominent points, one
lady. Mrs Presley Denny, exhibiting a
silk crazy patchwork quilt of the
estimated value of 800, and it was
really a gem. Then there were wax
flowers and fruit; wooden flowers and
fruit, crayon sketches, water-color
painting, and almost an endless amount
and variety of fancy needle work;
all beautiful and creditable alike TO
the fair artizans who created them. A
noticeable fea urs of the fair was a very
arranged and extensive
cabinet of mineralogiCal specimens from
several of the most prominent of the
mines of this section. The specimens
of ore comprised gold, silver, lead, cop
per, manganese, tin and iron, and were
arranged and shown along with their
several assays by our local assayer, Mr..
G. G. WoodhOuse. 1t is almost need
less to say that the exhibit of fruits,
and cereals was really ex eel
lent. The list was that Of almost the
entire vegetable kingdom-that IS, as
far az the season would permit-and
was by no means forgotten,
there being a magnificent display of
flowers. both in pot and cut.
On the exterior, and in suitably-ar-
ranged sheds and enclosures, were
shown some fine specimens of the equine
and bovine race. Of the horses were
seen some noble samples of the Norman
Percheron stock, also of the Handle
tonian; Morgan, "Copper-bottom' and
'Whip5tock" breeds.
OF cattle there was 8 fair showing.

The exhibit OF swine seemed to be en-
tirely confined to specimens of the |
Berkshire breed, of which, however,
there were some really fine samples. |
Sheep had also place, although oc-
cupi ID by but few III number. The |
only exhibition in this line was Andrew |
Olsen OF Pine Greek, but showed some |
fine specimens of full-blCod meriuos, |
south-down merinos, and CotsWold- |
merino grades; all fine sheep.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE FAIR,
but at its conclusion, there Is to be some
horse racing on the new driving track |
owned by the Agricultural Association |
Just outside OF town; but what the |
entries are or the class and number of |
prizes, have not yet been able to learn, |
but am told that the latter will be of |
sufficient value to make it an interest
ing time.
Respectfully, s.
