DALLAS, TEX, Oct. 2S.-The twelfth
day of the great Texas state fair has been
favored with warm and pleasant sun
shine. Ellis, the banner county. has
sent thousands of people here to-day.
enjoy the day and enjoy it they did. All
are pleased with the fair as a whole and
doubly pleased with the beautiful ex-
hibit made by their county. And they
can afford to be justly proud of il for it
Is undoubtedly the most complete display
ever made by any county in any state.
During the forenoon the Ellis county
delegation pretty well held the halls and
grounds, but IS the sun began to mark
the hour of noon people from the city
began to add to the great throng as we'll
as those from other places, and by the
middle of the evening the exposition
hail, the music hail-in fact all the
buildings and grounds had the appear
ance of one solid mass of humanity. The
attendance on last Saturday was said
10 have been the largest that ever
attended any one day OF any
fair ever he'd in the state, but to-day
the attendance was equal to, if not
larger than on that day. To say that
the fair is a success, is but q mild way of
stating il. But there are ALWAYS some
"croakers, - and they have visited here
this year and openly talk that this is the
poorest fair ever held in Dallas. But
the general verdict is that it is great
success and the best one ever held.
