ing beauty and fragrance to the room.
The vegetable display, to the east
of the flowers, while small, is
full and complete, and most interest
ing study, particularly to the stranger.
The fruits make tempting display
and are all frst-class. Noticeable in
this department, is contribution from
the southern country, in the shape of
several varieties of nuts and three
boxes of very choice raisins.
The dairy pro and
cheese-are fly represented, Poplar
Farm being among Jae contributors.
The glass works and demijohn fac
tories also have a creditable showing.
The Chamber of Commerce cabinets,
| while somewhat depleted by the Sioux
| City @ orn Palace show. nevertheless are
great attraction, and twenty bars of
Germsnia bullion near by cause many
| a covetous look. In this department
there is an extensive display of Utah
minerals and gems, besides a fine ual-
| ity of brick and other home produc-
tions.
Around the sides of the lower floor,
and underneath the galleries, some of
our prominent merchants make credit
able. and in some cases magnificent,
displays of the goods carried by them.
In the gallery, the first to attract
ones attention, is the art display, the
entire north wall having been reserved
for this department. Nearly all the
pictures shown are by artists of this
city, and noticeable among these are
the works of Lambourne, Gunner,
Squires, HARDWOOD and Clawson. Miss
Hattie Richards sketches are very in
teresting, and Miss Leah Paul has
three specimens of her skill with the
brush that show true artistic taste.
Ottinger's Path of Glory, q
fire scene. attracts a great deal OF
attention, as does also Harwood's
| camp scene and Clawson's llfe-size por-
trait. George Beard, Of Coalville, Miss
Gorlinski, Martin Lenzi and others are
also contributors to this display, which
is most interesting one. In corner
are number of the works of the late
Harry Brown. The photograph dis
plays are artistic specimens, and Miss
Jennings, Miss Teasdel, Miss Grace
Moyle have little e1 hibition of hand
painted china that is dec dedly inter
| esting.
The ladies' department, a bewildering
labyrinth of fancy work and plain sew
ing, attracted large crowd during the
entire day. Our representative, how
ever, despaired of making an ineligible
report and fed. On the east
gallery there are several fine exhibits
of home manufactured saddles. harness,
cloths, boots and shoes, brass work
hats and caps, :orty-eight different
styles of brushes, pottery, leather.
brooms, washboards, and numerous
other articles, the whole forming most
pleasing sight, and showing, at a glance,
what Utah's residents have done and
are doing to help her along on the road
to prosperity and wealth.
Among so many interesting features
the dried fruit exhibit must not be lost
sight of, and it must also be said that
the candy and cracker factories have all
done themselves proud. This dis

| AROUND THE GROUNDS.
The stock exhibit is without doubt,
the finest ever seen in any of the Terri
tories. Altogether there are about 200
head of stock on the grounds. These
consist principally of horses and cattle,
but few sheep and swine being shown
| Ali of the finer grades of horned cattle
are represented and many of the horses
are beauties. The agricultural ma

firm seems to have We'd with the other

GENERAL GLIMPsEs.
ONE thing thst ought to be known in
connection with the furore over the
Fair is the fact that great big chunk
of the credit should go to the secretary
OF the D. A. & NJ. Society, Mr.. 81. NJ.
| Wells. Only the members OF the Board
and newspaper men are acquainted
with the enormous crush of work which
has been piled on his shoulders, and
the admirable way in which he has
handled it. The big boom the Fair has
received has been caused by the in
exuausrlble and newsy parsgrt phs pub
lished in the local papers IN general
and The HERALD in particular, and the
great bulk of the matter furnished the
reporters has been dashed off by Mr..
Wells in fugitive moments snatched

may employ some of his spare mo-
ments in painting the roof.
