Some specimens OF fine wool are exhibited

a justice to any country.
: notwithstanding the entry books hav
q been closed, quite number are still arrIv

o Some of the exhibits look like they nigh
have drawn premiums had they beer

Messrs. Maier & Benton are the only gro
GERS of The Dalles having an exhibit here
, 1t is encouraging to hear new visitors
, come into the pavilion with the remark
, Oh. there is ever so much more here than
there was last year.
We have just been informed that one OF
the displays of fine corn was made by Mr..
Ronney. of Tygh valley. We were told by
Mr.. Robert Mays that Mr.. Bonney has
about sixty acres of this corn, and that this
sample that is here on exhibition is fair
one Of the entire sixty acres. He says that
he has been through the field. and that it
will average with the best crops usually
produced III any part of the Mississippi
valley.
| AT 1870 O'Clock the arrangement of the
pavilion may be SAID to be com pleted.
Thirteen of our business firms have exhibits
here representing many of the business in
terests of The Dalles. The horticultural
and agricultural interests of the country are
well represented, while art and fancy work
have good showing. Taking it all in all,
Wasco county may be proud of the display
she has made, and the display of enterprise
manifested this year will place this District
Agricultural Society on firm basis.
Among the arrivals of speed horses this
morning was Maud Knox and Nevissa.

This completes the liet of judges as they
were appointed for the various divisions
Some of them are now, at l:SO P. NJ, on
the grounds among the stock awarding
premiums. but as the entry books can not
be had, and the judges refuse to make their
awards known, nothing definite can be as
certained until the books can be had. The
have arranged for grand parade
Of cattle, that have entered here, to take
place omorrow at 10 o'clock A. NJ and |
like parade of horses at 10 A. NJ. Friday.
This afternoon great many people are
present.
The grounds around the pavilion are very
dusty and the management seems to be ,
slack in this respect. A few dollars ex.
pended IN sprinkling the grounds in the
vicinity of the pavilion would have added
much to the appearance of the ground.
The horses for race No. 4, were callel
to the track about 2:30. There were five I
horses which took their positions respec. 1

Monty Sharp 2d, Kife Sd, Monte Field 4th, /

know her. c

There is some dissatisfaction over the Ii
allure of Monty Sharp, to start. Her
Ider was certainly not at fault. He check II

The start was finally made but at the mo- :, -
