THE BAND contest will not come off,
as none of the bands would enter for
the special prize, because they did not
want to take the chances of playing for
nothing.

THE ANDERSON SIGN COMPANY, COM
prisiDg Mr.. Scott Anderson and his
sons. do lively trade supplying
vendors and exhibitors with handsome
show cards painted on the spot. The
Andersons are artists in their line,
and the work they do for the
Theatre always forms good
advertisement for them. They have
their counters, paints, cloths and cards
| just opposite the Ladies' Lunch Stand,
where they turn out cards and signs

a good machine when they see it. You
had better test it before paying two
prices for a lame.
THE BABY show will be held at 2 p. m.
to-day. About fifteen or twenty
cherubs have been entered.
THE floral display is the best ever
made in Utah. and there is more COM
potion than ever before. John Read
| ing, whose hot houses grow almost
faster than he himself knows, has fifty
| feet of tables, and the wonders of
| lowering plants and shrubs and cut
| flowers which he displays demonstrates
clearly that Utah is growing in her
| floral interests as rapidly as she is in
everything else. One of the most con-
| spicuous and attractive things in the
whole fair is parasol of French mar
igols, which is perfect beauty, and the
work Of Mrs. Reading. Thera are also
other designs for various purposes,
and they show the utmost skill IN ar
rangement, and the highest care aud
perfection in cultivation. The ar
engagements of Utah growers, the ferns.
dahlias and ornamental plants we're
generally admired. Mr.. Readings dis
play went long way towards making
the floral exhibit of the Fair, and both
in the designs and excellent cultivation
of cut flowers has he demonstrated his
fitness for the business to which his iu-
telligence and energy are directed.
A GREAT novelty,in the ladies' depart
ment is dress made by Mrs. NJ. E.
Cummings. It is from wool raised in
Utah, and manufactured into cloth by
the Deseret Wooden Mills. The hide of
the sheep bearing the wool was tanned
by Summerhays & Co., and the dress
was made by Mrs. Cummings and is
trimmed with the sheep hides above
mentioned. 1t is beauty and tells its
own tale.
The LADIES horseback tournament
and the speed and draft exhibition
will take place at Liberty Park to-day
at p. m.
The UTAH CRACKER COMPANY has a
splendid exhibit in its line, over which
Mr.. Henry Wallace presides. and not
without degree of honest pride. There
are something like 100 kinds of crack
ers in the exhibit, and it is safe
wager that they ars not excelled by
anything of the kind made anywhere.
The commendable thing in this connec-

in Utah, the -four from which they are
made is the product of that sterling
miller, George Hustler, the persons who
convert the raw materials into 100
varieties of crackers are those who live
and struggle in our community, and
the energy and enterprise which
have forced out foreign product and
introduced homemade wares is our
own and long known here. Just look
at that exhibit and see what you think
of it. We should add that the boxes in
which the crackers are incased are
home made, even to the nickle plated
glass tops; even the lumber is Utah
grown. The encouragement Of such
industries is the promise for our future
greatness.
IT IS said the reason there was no
better display of horses is because
many of the owners were afraid of each
other.
LITTLE MISS G. SMITH, of this city,
won the special premium offered by tAe

THERE is but one exhibit of mantle
pieces, CRATES and headstones. but it Is
as fine as though it were arranged in
the face of the liveliest competition.
This is the display of the public spirited
and energetic Elias Morris. Mr.. Morris |
says he has made no efforts at display, |
merely bringing the articles as they |
stood in his shop and yards. There are |
marble and wooden fire places and |
CRATES, beautifully designed and |
wrought. some of them with mirrors. |
The designs in brass and bronze for
tenders and Ere screens are new and |
singulsrly attractive. One OF the mantle |
pieces is adorned with a very fine
painting of Black Rock. on the lake.
which ought soon to adorn the home of
some enterprising citizen. Mr.. Morris |
says the tiles and mantles that house |
builders here are induced to purchase |
