was brought in last evening, and arti
ically arranged by the senior meml Or
the firm, Mr. w. S. Cram. Words are
adequate to its description and it must
seen 10 be fully appreciated. 1t is wit
out question the sweetest display in Il
pavilion.
Mrs. NJ. L. Bardon displays a love-
cactus of rare and beautiful variet
Some very lovely work by Miss Emm
Humbert, attracts much attention. Thel
are many new visitors in the pavilion
an early hour this morning, and all seel
well pleased with the display, and til
universal expression is that the display
the largest, grandest and more complel
than any made heretofore.
The arrangement has been under I'll
supervision Of Col. L. ". Nevius, who i
the right man in the right place, and tb
great beauty of the display is due to hi
energy and artistic taste At 20 o'clocl
this morning many of the committee
were at work in the pavilion, awardin
premiums. Other committees are also a
work in the stock yards. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that cattle parad
would take place this morning at 1,
O'Clock, which could not take place be
cause OF the absence of some OF tn.
judges. We will mention the time agair
when it can be definitely asceRained.
Mr.. 4. NJ. Allen has the supervision o.
the race track, and better man could
not have been found for this position
Through his untiring energy the track is
IN the best possible condition, and men
who have had an operlunity to know, in.
1orms us that there is no better track in
the state. This morning it is wet down
and is IN excellent condition for to.day's
races.
The display of wheat and other grain
Is wonderfully fine for so dry II season.
Our attention has been called to some
very fine specimens from Hood River
that was brought too late for entrance.
II our friends from Hood RIVER had been
as energetic in having their displays here
IN Tune Tor entrance as their products
would indicate, they would certainly have
taken large number of premiums. Not
wlthstand;ng the lateness of the season
there are Strawberries here in the bloom,
half grown and ripe, all on tie same
stem.
The management have done wise
ri fcr
Stand near the race track. Heretofore
when seats were free for all, this stand
was overrun with hocdlums, who filled it
with tobacco smoke and made i. very dis.
agreeable for the ladies. This wear it is
free for ladies, but men are charged 25
cents TOR seat.
Tomorrow will be the busy day and the
one Of greatest interest. To add TO the
of the day will be the band
contest. There will be three bands COM
peting for the prize-the Walla Walla,
Goldendale and the The Dalcs bands.
Some excellent music is anticipated.
