Tomorrow promises to be the day at
| the fair. Every person that can get
away is going, and that means that
everybody in The Dalles will turn out,
for the merchants have agreed to close
the stores in the afternoon. The man
agement of the fair have engaged the
band so there is no reason why Friday
should not be grand day at the track.
The programme for that day is also
the best one yet hung up. 1t includes
the following races; Running novelty
race, one mile dash-First quarter.
500, half $50, three-quarters $40, mile
$50. Running, 3-mile dash. Trotting
free for all. Besides these horse races
there will be half mile novice and
mile handicap bicycle race. All our
local scorchers are entered and some
outsiders.
The large swinging doors opening
into the exhibition hall hardly had
time to rest last night until after the
band had ceased playing. A very
large crowd visited the Armory hall
last evening to view the exhibits and
listen to the band. Too much praise
cannot be given the band for the man.

Mrs. Stubling s. Sons floral exhibit
deserves more than passing notice as
it is, both in quantity and quality
equal if not superior to anything in
that line ever exhibited at The Dalles:
if this exhibit were re-
moved from the hall it would be missed
more than any other one. In this ex-
nibit there are all kinds of tropical
palms. twenty-one carnations, all of
different colors and very large, four
een bouquets made up of as many diff
erent varieties of flowers, but we
would overlook the best display of Mrs.
exhibit if we did not men
ion the dish of roses. This dish con-
aims twenty three choice varieties of
oses.
Hood River is here in full force as

ibits one will notice that there is not {
blemish on any of the fruit. All told
here are 100 dishes of different kinds 1
