GOES OUT IN A BLAZE
THE Fair closes After its Sue
ceSSful Run.
THE BEAUTY PRIZE AWARDED.
The Equestrinne Prizs-Eiatsd With
Success, the Directors Promise
More Next Time.

out IN DiaZe OF glory, so 10 speak, a
more wesried but smiling lot of men
than the directors was never seen.
Their nost sanguine expectations had
not dreamed of such sunhesrd OF re-
suits, and while the emoiuments of the
aborious Office were nil the almost
transcendent success of the exposition
more than compensated for all the
work done. That they merit the I'M
reserved appreciation of the public goes
without saying and in no possible way,
the brief time considered, is it possible
to conceive how an improvement could
have been made.
The distinctive feature of the exposi
ton that has just closed. is its remark
ably representative character. There
was an absence of Jim cracks
and catchy exhibits that reflect
this degree of luxury and taste of
a community rather than its baser
pursuits. A veritsble exposition of the
products of the Territory was this fair.
Not that all our resources and manu-
factures were represented; but that the
great bulk of the exhibits were such,
and not of articles impor ted, as is too
frequently the case when events like
this take place.
The assurances on all sides also
leads to the conviction tina next years
exposition will incline more than ever
in this commendable direction, for each
year sees such marked improvement in
home industries and there are so many,
who, Gearing the time did not justify
the effort, failed to make an exhibit)
are determined that another year will
not see them behind their fellow home
manufacturers in an enterprising display
of wares. Moreover, with the growth
of county fairs, to which there is q
rapidly growing tendency, an impetus
will be given for the Territorial
exhibition and the very best from
each county will be forwarded
that the county may stand a better show
for securing coveted prizes. The sue
cess of the fair just closed promises
much for the future, and if it is taken
advantage of the la Dor will bear fruits
that the many anticipate as little as
they did signal succ ess for the present
exposition.
GENERAL GLIMP5Es.
The attendance was not so large rs
on Friday, " hich was clearly the banner
dsy. But the receipts, yesterday, welled
M with surprising steadiness, and made
liRht the hearts of the directors, who
had expected that they would be COM
peIIed to 60 into their pockets to make
good their assurances of rewards and
premiums.
In the auction sale Of Hereford and
Devon calves offered as special premi-
ums bv Messrs. White & Sons and Ben
r. EIdredgs the bidding was not at all
lively. The Hereford bull brought SIS.
and the Devon heller $65. A Jersey
heifer was put up, but no bid was made.
Surrounding the exhibit of musical
Instruments made by the Calder estate,
was a constant crowd. It was here the
mu- ical contests took place, and the
admi-ing gaia of many were turned
eagerly in the direction OF the pianos
and organs. The dist lotive feature OF
this exhibit was what is known as the
Eolia Harp-a sort of combination
organ aud organette. 1t is really a
sterling reed organ with ten stops, a
full knes swell capable OF initiating
many wind instruments, while, by an
ingenious device, limitless number of
musical paper roll desired and working
the treadles. The very finest msslc is
thus accessible to all and can be played
by q child, while at the same time
all that belongs to an organ proper is to
be found in this instrument. The silver
engraved paneled Steinway piano was
also very greatly admired and so
placed that 1t could readily be
seen. This intrument was ordered
for lady N the city. who subsequently
took another style of the same make,
and as the Calders kept it in stock, it
came in very handy for the admirable
display made by them. The Steinway
piano needs no recommendation. It's
name is a syn1nyme for excellence the
world over. OF course, the famous
Mason g. Hamlin organ, for which the
Calders have been agents, 10 these
many years, was there. and its lustre is
undimmed. That the Fair was not al
together proftless to the Calder ex-
hibIt is evident from the fact that they
took orders for Steinway piano, fine
Mason G Hamlin chapel organ, and two
Kimball organs. Ibis tells its own
tale.
HENRY WAGNER was moving around
all smiles Yesterday afternoon. and
his beer on exhibition, were nipped
by one good natured friend after
another. he merely shrugged his Shout
ders and said: Well didn't give it 10
them, so I'm not responsible it they are
caught" And he kept on smiling. Mr..
Wagner's is the Oldest brewing estab-
lishment in the Territory, and has re-
putstion as place pleasant to drive
to in the summer time. 1t was
as early as 1864 that he located at
the pleasant spot in the mouth OF
Emigration Canyon. His display is o..
bottled beers, with his unique label. On
one side he has an old-fashioned Ger
man beer mug, and one can almost
hear, as he gazes on it. the cheering
words 'ein STEIN" On the opposite
side is an elegant silver beer mug called
"Gambrino's Cup" a gift to MIR. Wag-
ner from a st. Louis friend. Surmount-
ing the whole is the representation of q
working man, seated, in the act OF
raising foaning glass of beer to his
lips. and he smiles on it with beatifc
smile. A picture of the brewery is also
