The Singer machine obtained first
premiums for both work and
machine.
The ladies at the Catholic fair are
very active and are taking in good
deal of money.
The w. c. T. U. women have
distributed oyer 10000 pages of
temperance literature.
The strawberries of Riches and
Van Scoy, of Turner, were large,
shapely, rich in color, and six boxes
in quantity.
The Presbyterian ladies know how
to run a restaurant to perfection,
and at times had not room enough
to accommodate all their well pleased
patrons.
The state board of immigration
are doing some very effective adver-
tising, giving illustrated pamphlets
to all who desire to send them to
friends out of the state.
The boss fruit dryer is Jory's, a
Salem invention, which attracts a
good deal of attention and examina-
ton. The specimens of the dried
fruit speak loudly for this useful
machine. 1t is in machinery hall,
In the single dash Il miles for

There is some fine stock at the
fair and it is to be regretted that
more attention is not given and
more premiums offered for all kinds
stock, and less for races than are now
offered. The complaint is general
that the races get the money pre-
miums and the others, the ribbons.
To-day the weather is all that
could be desired, and the attendance
very large. There was a rush from
town to the grounds, the cars being
crowded. The stock parade is con-
sidered by eminent judges to have
been the best for years. In the line
of cattle, it certainly has never been
eXcelled, and Oregon may well be
proud of her products.
The traction engines gave some
fine exhibition Of what they could
do in the line of climbing over OBJ
stacles. Messrs. Bellinger and
Froome presented the Russell" en-
gine, which came out ahead in every
desirable feature. 1t could climb
higher sticks of wood put in its way
to illustrate rough roads, than either
of the others. u. b. Wright repre-
sented the "Advance," and f. Ken
nedy the saltwater" both of
which attained good speed and
turned in very short space.
The wheel of fortune was yester-
day laid up for repairs which will
probably cost considerable on ac-
count of the peculiar way in which
it was injured. In order to have
proper persons to look after its
needs while awaiting repairs, the
men who had charge of it were put |
under bonds to appear to-day in
court and tell what they know Of its
If all the gambling |
games at the grounds and i'm town |
received the same salutary treat
ment the morals of the young men
that attend the state fair would be
in better state afterwards.
