THE ESCONDIDO FAIR.
Continued Success and a Large
Atten dance.

Especial to the HERALD
EsCoNDIDo, October 4.-Yesterday
was the big day of the fair. Today the
attendance is trife smaller, although it
is practically the last day. The hold
over tomorrow Saturday will be short
day, and the fair will be formally closed
by O'Clock in the afternoon.
1t is curious fact to note that Elsi.
more and Oceanside do not patronize the
fair, nor did they send any exhibits.
Comparatively, San Diego has con-
tributed but little to the display, but
from 500 to 1000 visitors from there have
come up daily. The credit of the splen-
did showing of citrus and deciduous
fruits is due to the Julian,
Ballona, Mesa Grande, Jamul, San
Marcos and Escondido districts. The
raisins and dried fruits of the
Poway district are especially deserving
of mention, both as regards quality and
variety. Indeed nowhere in Southern
California does the Muscat grape grow
to greater perfection than in the cluster
of small valleys of which Escondido is
the central figure. The products OF
these valleys are grown without irriga-
ton, with the exception Of the citrus
kinds.
There are many more good horses here
than would be expected of a new track
and the way they happened to come is
amusing. One of the owners, who lives
in Los Angeles. thought he would
quietly steal down to the new district
fair and sneak in his superior stock with
the country competitors. When he got
to Escondido he found that just half
dozen or more of others had thought
just as he thought. It was bad on the
owners but it was good for Escondido.
The new judges ct the races, o. A.
Wallace, of San Diego, ]. A. Jasper, of
Julian, and Geo. Vignolo, of Los Ange.
les, give great satisfaction.
The Hamiltons won the championship
of the county and first prize OF 500, by
again defeating the Escondidos.
