many respects the most interesting day of
the fair. The numbers attending were
about equal to that of the previous day.
The first attraction was
THE BABY SHOW.
There were one hundred and twenty
entries. The judges were Herman
Bamberger (chsirmanl Major Langsdorf
and William Naylor. The 100 proud and
happy mothers assembled in the grounds
each holding in her arms the prettiest and
best baby in the world.
The judges made careful inspection
and selected thirty of what they con-
sidered the best specimens. These, with
their mothers were placed in the band
stand SO that all might have q good look at
thsm, whilst the judges proceeded to select
from them seven of the creme de Ia creme 10
which prizes might be awarded. After
long and careful deliberations the follow
ing were announced as winners:

presented by Sorensen & Nelson, was
awarded to the S-Donths- old girl baby of

TIE GRAND HORSE PARADE
was one of the prettiest sights OF the ex-
hlbition. The horses were turned out,
some attached TO carriages single and
double, some ridden and others lead formed
into grand promenade and made the tour
around the grounds several times. 1t was
most imposing spectacle. There were as
fine horses in the show as any in the world.
This part of the exhibit would have done
credit to any state or territory in the union.
The pity is that for want OF space about
one hundred and fifty animals were shut
out of the exhibit altogether.
THE BALLOON ASCENSION
at o'clock in the evening was q grand
success. Promptly at the appointed time
the great air ship was cut loose and sailed
up IN line shape. Mr.. Leonard fired OF
rockets as he fosted up. He did not
use the parachute but came down with the
canvas and alghted in vacant lot four
blocks west of the grounds. Leonard's
performances all through have been very
satisfactory.

success. The total attendance during the
i've days was $4,000, somewhat less than
last year, but that is accounted for by the
admittsnce charge being so cents as
against % cents year ago.
Che total receipts at the gates,
not including season tickets, exhibi-

There was considerable dissatisfaction
expressed at the advance in the price of
admission, but really the show was well
worth it and the ext ira amount expended
on getting up the amusements, ETC., make
1t absolutely necessary TO charge al least
so cents. The exhibition is not gotten up
as money making scheme. Every cent
over and above the expenses is used to
provide prizes and inducements for the ex-
hibitors. The society is institution
which is doing great deal Of good in the
territory and ought TO be heartily sup
ported. The directors are all energetic
business men and work it on q thoroughly
sound and business-iike plan.
