because they were school attenderS. The
result is that it has been determined to
allow the scent rate of admission to
apply to school children who visit the
Fair accompanied by their teachers
and in boz y, only before the hour of
IL o'clock in the morning. 1t will be
well for those desiring to take advan-
tage Of the reduced rate to note this
fact.
THERE WERE about fifty entries for
the prizes for the finest baby and such
jamb inside the building at the time
it took place and so many interested
and curious ones. The judges did their
pIettiest and their verdict was such as
to call forth the general comment:
"Well that baby WAS a beauty" The
award was made 10 Mrs. DAVID
Brown, OF Draper, as the mother
of the finest baby present,
6-month-old girl: This prize was

Write.
one OF the most conspicuous and
pleasing OF the exhibits is that made by
Mr.. Henry Dinwoodey. There is no
place, 10 city to which it would not do
credit and eclipses in magnihcence and
richness any display in the building.
The awarding committees, evidently,
were not unappreciative fIom the num-
Der of tickets displayed bearing the fiat
tering word "Prize," which are to be
seen in this exhibit. The curtains and
hangings. rods, lounges, tables, bed
on6
sofa pillows and down quilts are such as
10 make fellow wish he were rich
enough to possess a few such if only
fer few moments. Many of the
designs are new and certainly beauti-
full, and not the least attractive and
meritorious are the home made articles
which do no discredit to their more
rretentious fi.nCs from eastern
markets. It is one or the exhibits that
draws and holds the attention and is
but another evidence of Mr.. Din
woodey's sterling enterprise.

THE BEAUTY CONTEST.
The event of the day will be
the award of the prizes for the
three prettiest girls at the Fair. The
manner in which the judges. whoever
thew may be, are to arrive at the deci-
sion is one of those things that no fellow
can find out, for it is Kept a profound
sec.et, bpt the awards are to be made,
and the three pretiiest girls are to get
three gold medals. What adds to the
mystery with which the event is
clothed is the fact that there will be
no competition, no entries, no nothing
that we can Fl d out, save only an
award. which is to be made at $50
o. clock this evening from a pedestal to
be erected at the southeast corner OF
the buii.ing and on the outside IS
near as We can ascertain. sIn sd-
dition to the prize offered by Mr.. Char
ley Johnson, Mr.. l.. c. Trent stated t.at
be would give $25 toward this award, so
the number of medals has been in
creased to three and the award will b.
increased likewise. Let US protest al
ready against any unmarried your &
wretch being put On the awarding con
mittee and let US have the committee in
full view during the announcement OF
the award that we may know they are
not playine possum.
