The Eugene Guard gives q very fair
estimate of the fair:
+, NJ. Wilkinp, who with his wife re-
turned from the state iair AZ Salem yes
tefday, states that while the fair was
perhaps NOT so good in some OF its ex-
alblss az in former years, yet in other
ines in exhibits IL Was better than usual
md as whole was as good as il has been
IN any preceding year. Mr.. wilkins has
been q patron OF the state fair every year
since its organization, and considers il Of
great value 10 the agricultural interests
Of Oregon. This year the receipts Of the
fair Just nettcd the expenses. Old var
rants tothe amount Of $500 we're paid of,
which leaves the association in debt Tor
that amount of new warrants. The ex-
nIuit OF horsefiesh at the fair this year
was better than ever before. The cattle
exhibit vas less in number, but the breed
aud grade was better thaH in former
years. The poultry exhibit Was the bes,
that the fair has ever had. Great Inter
est is being taken in this department.
Over hoo chickens Of ali breeds we're ex-
hihited this year. A new poultry build
