was not so large as yesterday, yet
quit a large attendance from Salem
was noticeable. The racing to-day
was really more exciting than on
any previous day. Betting wos
done carefully however, as there
was no chance to "hedge" If you
lost as it being the last Of the races.
The rain this morning was really a
hep to the splendid race course
while the sky was thickly crowded
with threatening clouds this after
noon, yet the air was clear and a
good view of the entire race
curse was easy to he seen.
The various exhibits yet remain
intact though the fair is practically
over, yet this afternoon presented a
different scene, 'pt cking up" was
In order, and by tonight the
grounds will look like deserted
battle field" The Oregon Land
company have very generously of
fered good price for the fruit and
grain exhibits and will doubtless
purchase them. The old blind gen
tleman, wLo has been at the fair for
several years, is still on the grounds,
and was this evening singing as
many comical songs as he usually
does. Staver, Walker and the Rus
sell Machine companies, who have
had machinery displays on the
grounds. are removing them to-day.
The machinery displayed by them
was looked at considerable. Hughes
a. Bellinger also had dis
play Of hacks and different
machinery on the grounds and were
kept busy showing the workings of
each. Scriber q Phole were on
hand with good line of buggies
and carriages. II. S. Jory & Son, of
Salem, as usual carried away the
blue ribbon for their patent fruit
evaporator. This machine Is ex-
celled by none. Monday will see
Salem doing rs nicely IA ever, the
State Fair will not have effected her
any. The managers Of the present
fair can depart this evening feeling
they haye done their work well.
