FOURTH DAY.
MONDAY, Sept. 2.-The Labor pa
radc and picnic in ths city probably
tended to diminish tho attendance at
the State Fair to-day, and yet there
were several thousand people on the
grounds. The day was devoted gen.
orally on the part OF exhibitors TO
preparation. BY tomorrow every
thing will he in readiness. Tho roads
and walks, having been well sprinkled,
are in good condition, and no one had
reason to complain OF dust. The new
glass house erected for the phenomenal
Axtell Is located near the grand stand
and attracts universal attention,
The fair was formally opened at IL
o'clock In Exposition hal. with adj
dresses by President John Hayes, OF
Red Oak. J. b. Grinnell, Father Clark
son and Ex-Governor G. &. Carpenter,
President Hayes in his annual ad-
dress reviewed tho history OF the So.
ciety and its thirty-six annual fairs.
In closing his eloquent address ho
said: at Is my pleasure to extend to
you our warmest welcome. II In your
attendance here you are led by these
exhibits to note the advantages to DO
gained by the use OF improved breeds
Of stock; II you discover that at slight
expense for machinery your labor may
be greatly lightened; II you SEQ that
better fruit or grain Is grown else
where than In your own orchard or
field, and that the dairy products here
displayed, are superior to those ut
your own table; II 1t Is revealed TO you
that the sombre aspect Of domestic life
may be frightened by artistic work,
giving recreation to tired mothers and
fascinating employment to their daugh-
tiers; II, seeing these things, you are
directed to less laborious, more COM
plctc, End more rcmuncrative methods,
to loftier aspirations, to greater con-
tcntment, happier home, nobler
life, then the object for which this
society was formed, and for which this
State Fair is held, will find fullillment.'
FIFTH DAY.
TUESDAY, Sept. 3.--Tho fifth day Of
the Iowa State Fair was the greatest
ever seen in the State, and the immense
ground was fairly crowded with peo-
pie. The treasurer reported that the
receipts were far In excess OF the Tues
day Of last year or any other year.
The crowds came early and remained
late. II takes n long while to see the
whole show, but everybody can see 1t.
The day opened cloudy and cool, but
early In the forenoon the clouds clear
ed away and faircr or pleasanter day
has not been had. The society de-
serves credit also for the very excel
lent way in which they have kept the
tracks sprinklod and the dust avoided.
The grounds are as comfortable as
they can be made.
Being soldiers day, large number
Of the old veterans were present. All
day they were to he seen In knots aud
groups about the grounds, talking,
telling army stories, and enjoying the
pleasure of meeting old comrades
generally. Al about o'clock the old
soldiers, sons and daughters OF veterans
congregated together in the grove,
near the headquarters tent Of the Sons
and Daughters OF Veterans, and he'd
a regular old soldiers reunion. Be-
fore adjourning the old soldiers and
sons and daughters Of veterans extend
cd "a hearty vote Of thanks 10 the Sc
ciety for their free admission and use
Of the grounds. Following the sug-
gcstion OF a comra le the veterans from
the different States assembled togeth ~
in groups, holding little State ret nions,
many happy meetings being the re-
suit. There were not the general
meetings that have heretofore been
held, but the soldiers all had good
time.
1t was also children's day and thou
sands OF the little ones awaited them
selves Of the generosity of the fair and
camo.
