in the flower garden at the rear of
the pavilion. In this are all kinds
of geraniums, fuschics, roses, lilies,
etc., from the garden and homes of
Mrs. j. Haas, Mrs. J. V. Taylor, and
others of Salem's population. The
conglomeratjon of color is beautiful
and the aroma arising from this
portion of natures work is exquisite
and refreshing.
THE PHOTO EXHIBITS.
1t mas been many years past since
the big pavilion at the fair grounds
has contained SO nice a general ex-
hibit as that now hanging on the
wall of portion of the art depart
ment to the right of the main en-
trance. This is the elegant display
of photographs from the gallery of
Cherrington Bros, of Commercial
and Chemeketa streets, Salem. 1t
is samples of this firms every day
work and no other gallery on the
northwest coast can equal it. Here
are photos from the smallest to the
largest size. If the Messrs. Cher
rington had some of their proofs on
exhibition, only, the photographers
of large cities could not produce rs
good showing of art as these
would be. The aristos are the ad-
miration of every one who passes
into the pavilion.
SPECIAL FRUIT EXHIBIT.
Those water melons on the top
shelf in the boards fruit exhibit
were secured by d. ID. Prettyman
from a 26-acre field of this fruit on
the farm of Thos. Shattuck, of
Grants Pass.
A number of Japanese plums is
one of the curiosities in the fruit ex-
hibit. They came from near Grants
Pass, as also lot of peach and fig
tomatoes.
w. II. Flanagan, of Grants Pass,
sent 10 twenty-ounce peaches of the
King variety and they are in the
society's exhibit of fruits.
A plate of fine large buuches of
grapes are on display from the vine
yard of r. A. Payne and r. d. Hill,
of Ashland.
Seth Luelling, of Clackamas coun-
ty, furnished AL excellent showing
If different kinds of fruit.
0. Coolidge, of Ashland. needs
special mention of the amount of
nice fruit that he furnished this de-
partment.
L. E Pratt's plates on the fruit
stand are handsome-he has 10
prunes of the Gros de Ajen variety
which weigh p pounds, also jars of
figs and Bartlett pear weighing !
pounds.
THE HORSE STALLS.
Horsefesh is represented at this
exhibition as it never was before.
Each one of those box stalls to your
left as you enter the main road gate
contains fine specimen of the
equine family, from a heavy Clyde
and Percheron to slim built and
smooth coated roadster or speeder.
When the parade of these beautiful
ANIMALS takes place on Friday
on the new parade track
then the many visitors can see with
their own optics what Oregon con-
tains in this department of the ami
NAL kingdom.
THE OTHER STOCK PENS.
The other stock pens are filled
Just as the JOURNAL report of Mon
day yesterday had them; there are
probably half-dozen that were
but there are enough
and great many more than any
previous year. ID. NJ. Guthrie, the
famous Merino sheep raiser Of Polk
who has always bad a re-
of his fine wool family
on the grounds, is not among the
pens this time. Mr.. G. has had
''too much farm work and hop pick
ing to attend to this seasoD," he |
saws; he is a member of the state |
agricultural board, having been APP
pointed by the governor in the place
Of T. G. Richmond, lately deceased.
The old faces of the sheep and cat
tie exhibitors of past years are not
noticed on the ground as much as
usual, and one noticeable fact is that
their places are taken by younger
and newer stock dealers. Even Il.
T.. Davidson and john Minto, of
Salem, who could always be de-
pended on 70 help fill up the sheep
