but it is goo..
The great American hog is in the back
ground.
The poultry exhibit Is better than last
year and 80 is the dog show. Major Levey
was there all among the CANNES.
Largely owing to him and the Kennel club
that department is credit to the fair.
This department. is beyond doubt the
grandest exhibition of the kind ever
small and otherwise can be seen on the
bench, some lying down, others bowling
and barking, piantively In their desire to
escape. The benches are neat and clean,
and in every way adapted for q through
view. Commencing on the west end Is
lot OF bull terriers that are exhibited by T.
A. Holcombe OF this city, and are said to
l,.a ~ he firoo NJ In, ho
country Among the lot is a fine bitch
with a sucking litter, which ID
attracting a great deal Of attention.
Farther east comes some of the
noted spanieis-DioK, owned by j. E.
Malen; Dash, owned by DR.. Beattie, and
many others Of note in the same class. The
St. Bernards are an object Of note, and no
one enters this department who is not seen
to gaze on these massive animals.
The feature of the bench show today was
the birth Of number of pups from Spencer
Clawson's collie bitch.
Inc judges of the kennel department will
commence awarding next Thursday, when
ali owners of dogs will be expected to be
present and handle their owD stock.
THE ART DEPARTMENT
this year is poor. The collection of pic

era" Mr.. Hnrwood has a large number Of
pictures in the exhibit, and so has Mrs.
harwood. Mrs. DR.. Hughes has number
OF very creditable productions in water
colors.
The photographs are very good and the
china painting is also worthy OF much
praise. That Of Mrs. Fred Clawson is par
ticnlarly fine.
THE woMAN's DEPARTMENT
is not very extensive but the articles
shown are all very good Of their class.
