very successful fair, by the reunion Of
the Missourians, by races, and will wind
up with q barbecue and spaTring exhibit
ton. The fair is a great success. The
exhibition Of fruits and vegetables would
be a credit TO any country and is the
cause Of much favorable comment by Wis
itors from abroad. In the fancywork
department the display was Of a very in
teresting nature and the ladies Of the
committee having it in charge worked
hard TO make the collection Of exhibits
and arrange them.
At the track the races have been we'll
attended and the speeding Of such a char
acter as to keep the interest at a good
heat. About thirty horses are present
and before the meeting closes some rapid
time is expected, as the track is in excel
lent condition. On Thursday there was
some fault found with the judges over
their rulings, but where mistakes have
been made they were the result Of un-
familiarity with track decisions, and not
any attempt to do an injustice to horse or
owner. On that day Snip won the pony
race, with Joe Potts, Anne and Klickitat
Peter in regular order. In the half mile
dash Carrie NJ. won in 81 seconds, but at
the time of THE HERALD going to press
the judges have made no decision as to
second place. The decision on the gen.
tlemen's driving ace is also held for
further consideration.
The reunion Of the Missourians was
inaugurated Thursday night at the opera
house, where a couple Of hours were
pleasantly passed in listening to some
very mastery addresses. Hon. J.. B.
Reavis was made the chairman Of the
meeting and called upon Mayor r. X.
Nichols for the address Of welcome to the
visiting Missourians. Mayor Nichols oc-
cupied about fifteen minutes in a speech
that showed he was not unfamiliar with
the history of Missouri and her states
men, and that he appreciated their i'm
portance as factors in the up-building Of
the great west and Of Washington. Mr..
Nichols was followed by Hon. Trusten
Pope Dyer, Of Seattle, who is q represent
alive of one Of the historical families Of
Missouri, and who, in a powerful address
of an hours duration, completely chained
the attention ofthe large audience present.
The Missourians met at the opera
house Friday morning for organization,
]. B. Reavis being elected chairman and
Dudley Eshelman, secretary. Upon mo-
ton Of Hon. 7. p. Dyer a committee Of
three, consisting Of Messrs. Dyer, NJ. M.
Goodman and R. D. Wills was appointed
by the chair on constitution and bylaws,
and another committee, made up Of N. 7.
Cation and J. G. Lowell was appointed on
telegraphic correspondence. After rous-
ing speeches were made by visiting Mis-
sourians, Mr.. Dyer nominated Captain j.
H. Thomas for president Of the asSocia-
ton, which nomination was made unani-
nous. The vice presidents are T. P.
Dyer, Of Seattle, NJ. NJ. Goodman, Of Day
ton, and J. B. Reavis, Of Yakima. H.
H. Allen was elected treasurer and Messrs.
Cation, Burget and Eshelman chosen to
select the advisory board, which is to
consist Of one member from each county.
North Yakima was again chosen as the
place for holding the next meeting, the
visiting M~issourians insisting on this
point.
