| The street car service is big improve
ment over that of last year.
| The Hon. Abe Hatch is the only exhibit
from Wasatch county.
Hewlett Bros. furnish the soda and
other drinks for the fair
The remarks of Governor Thomas were
highly complimented on all hands.
The music furnished daily by Held &
Johnson's band gives good satisfaction.
The secretary writes as follows: SIN
consequence of the late arrival of many
exhibits, the supervisors were not ready
for the services of the awarding commit
tees yesterday.
Awarding committees are therefore
respectfully requested to report this morn
ing at II o'clock, when the supervisors will
conduct them to the various departments
and proceed to show them the exhibits"
The show given by Henry Denhalter &
Son is one of the big attractions on the
ground floor and it is matter of consider
able surprise how such an artistic effect
could be produced from such means. The
line of drinks shown is certainly very fine
and reflects great credit on the firm.
The exposition will be opened daily from
10 a. m. to 10 p. m. The electric light is
working splendidly, and those who can i'll
afford the time during the day, will find
the evening one of the best times at which
to make a visit.
The display of sugar beets is very en-
couraging, and contributions have been re
ceived from Salt Lake, Taylorsville, Sandy,
Green River, South Cottonwood, Provo,
Sand Ridge, Pennington, Mill Creek
West Jordan, Cohn's ranch and other
places. There are four prizes in the de
partment-$l00, $50, $50 and $50.
Among the most attractive exhibits is
that of the Cooperative Wagon and Ma
chine company, who have everything on
wheels, from a road-cart to a steam
thresher, and their army of employees was
among the busiest of the busy. Several
were driving well and making rapid pro-
gress. Others were busy during the entire
day and evening registering applicants for
tickets in the chance for the $500 thresher
and the Mitchell wagon, which they are
giving away.
