Early this morning old Jupiter
Pluvius gave his great big tank II
tip and the con sequence was slight
shower If rain came down upon the
hundreds of teuts and campfires at
the fair grounds, but this did not
have dampcning effect on any
body or anything. Even those fine
specimens in the poultry department
the roosters-sent forth their clar;-
ON notes with AS much vigOr as
though it was beautiful spring
morning. That fine large animal
with a coat of gray and ears long
enough for flag pole-the mule
joined in the chorus and produced
noises that would put the loud
mouthed peanut venders in the rear
of the procession, were one given ex-
pressly for big mouthed specimens.
Every one expects the rain to fall
during the week of an Oregon state
fair and there would be no disap-
pointment should several hard show
ers occur during the next three days.
If it does not come, SO much the
better.
Every train arriving today un-
loaded the usual number of visitors
that generally come on Wednesday
from all parts of Oregon to the an
nual meeting which is the harvest
season for Salem.
IN THE BIG HALL.
Seldom has the pavilion contain
ed as large and pleasant an assem-
blage as that which passed through
its aisles today. Everything that is
on display was scrutinized in the
closest manner aud the compli-
mentary remarks of many were be-
slowed on the exhibition. Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday are the
fairs big days and this one is no ex-
ception. Every body is in attend
ance and not one has missed the
pleasure of seeing the inside Of the
neatly arranged and full-to- over
flowing hall. The ribbons-blue
and red, are noticed wherever you
turn and the hearts of many are
made happy by their appearance.
