A GROWING NECESSITY Helen
Varick Boswell, a leader of the
movement for municipal reform in
New YoIk, believes that the short
skirt is inevitable, and says: Wo-
men are constantly becoming more
active and athletic, and it is in the
nature of things that their dress
should conform to the new condi-
ton. 1t is necessary. 1t is evolu-
ton and is inevitable. / do not be-.
lieve in unconventionality in dress,
but / think that the short skirt will
soon become perfectly conventional,
and women will not loose one iota of
womanliness by its adoption. The
health of women is extremely i'm
portant, and sensible men will ap-
prove and not condemn q thing
which is conductive to it and to the
general welfare of women.-Fron,

POULTRY JUDGING SLOW.
On Account of the Overcrowding of
the Halls.

No one Will envy the judges in the
poultry department in the task which
they have Before them in selecting the
prize winners from the 1000 fowls COM
posing his exhibit The poultry hall
proper is full of birds, so is the ST.
Louis county building and so are sew
eral large tents near by, and if it is
difficult for the visitors to get through
the different breeds of fowls shown, it
is simply appalling to think of the
judges who must take out Of the coops
and examine every bird in the depart
ment.
The building is so overcrowded that
there is no opportunity for the judges
to work except few hours in the
morning before the greater part of the
visitors arrive and for this reason their
work is not so far advanced as in some
of the other departments
The award of prizes up to date are
as follows:
Brahma Light-Franklin Benner first, E.
G. Roberts second, William Bartlett third.
Chicks-E. G. Roberts first Franklin Ben
ner second and third.

FAIR IS A SUCCESS
OVER 10000 PEOPLE PACKED THE
GROUNDS YESTERDAY-MIN-
NEAPOLIS DAY.
ONLY WAS EoUALLED ONCE.
ON THE OCCASION OF THE GREAT
SHAM BATTLE WHICH WAS
CID IN 1887.
To Carry the Impatient Throngs of
Sight-Seers to and From the
Sister Cities.

Attendance yesterday, so, 900; receipts,
$4,000; attendance fourth day last
year, Minneapolis day. $4,000; receipts,
$1,000; receipts of yesterday over those
of same day last year, $5,141; total
ticket sales for first three days this
year, $l4,172; total ticket sales for first
three days last year, $11.sS7; receipts
of this year for first three days over
those of last year for same period,
81, 165.
Is the fair a success? There is only
one answer to this question and that
is that it is most unqualifiedly so, and
the above figures conclusively demon
strate the fact. Never but on one
previous occasion has so great a crowd
visited the fair as did yesterday That
was on the day of the sham battle in
1887, when the attendance was esti-
mated at $4,000. This included every
one that passed through the gates on
complimentary tickets, and the $4,000
people counted yesterday all entered
on paid tickets. Estimating the COM
plimentary admissions of yesterday the
number of people on the grounds must
certainly have nearly reached that of
the memorable day of nine years ago.
The Minnesota state fam grounds are
among the largest in the country, and,
with the exception of the extreme out
lying portions, they were literally
packed with sightseers from early
morning until evening Those who
stayed on the grounds so late did not
remain from choice altogether, but be-
cause Of the wholly inadequate street
ear service Every one was good ma
tured, however. and in comparison to
the splendid days enjoyment the de-
lay was as nothing.
1t was expected that yesterday would
bring larger crowds to the fair than

and squealing of the animals as they
were driven into the exhibition ring
certainly would have done So There
are nearly 300 entries and each one en-
tered his objections to being Shown
off, in the only manner possible, that
of making all of the noise he could.
In the Poland China class M w.
Reed, of Jefferson, Wis, had entered a
herd of twenty-one animals, which at
tracted great deal of attention on
account Of the well kept appearance
and enormous size. Some of the sows
and boars could scarcely be induced
to move, and the younger animals
were indeed las fat as pigs"
C. A. Thomas, of Monticello, To-, also
exhibited an excellent herd Of Poland
Chinas, as well as fifteen Duroc-Jer-
seys. No lot of swine receive closer
attention from the judges and specta-
tors than this exhibit.
Fred Tsehudy, of Monroe. Wis,
showed with herd of ten of the Ches-
ter white breed. This breed is consid-
cred one of the best meat producers
raised, and, if pig could be pretty
they fill the bill. They are pure white
in color and have the glossiest of coats.
if they are not quite as smooth as they
might be.
c. H. Murphy, of Caledonia, Mimi,
entered the competition with two herds
Of animals, Poland China and Essex,
twenty-five of the former and ten Of
the last named. The hogs were of the
highest grade, and the herd of Essex
is considered by its owner as one of
the best in the Northwest.
George F. Davis, of Dyer, Ind, had
a herd of forty Victoria swine, which
contained some Of the most perfect
animals of this breed striving for the
prizes. The animals were of all ages
and sizes, and many farmers COM
mented upon their fine appearance
T. N. Porter, of Rochester, Mimi.
entered in the Berkshire class with a
big herd, and as the following awards
in the swine department for yester-
day, covering only about half of the
entries, will show, had the best swine
of the kind at the fair:

This is the banner day at the state fair IN

est racing programme of the week Is to be
presented w w is to be sent against his
wagon record of 2:081k His owner Is conf
dent he will succeed if the day and track are
at all favorable, as the horse is fit and
has had a good rest. His time last Tues
day. a mile in 2:08 to sulky, shows that, as
the track was at least three seconds slow that
day because of the high wind. Marion Mills,
the phenomenal pacing mare from Oshkosh,
with whom everybody who has seen her has
fallen in love, is again to pace against her
record without harness, driver or sulky.
Another notable event Of the week will be

The Winnebago and the Chippewa Indians
are to play another game of lacrosse. The
two most famous OF the chiefs are Black
Hawk and Green Cloud Of the Winnebagos.
Black Hawk is a nephew Of the old war
famed Black Hawk. Late last May his son
George Black Hawk was stabbed by Jim
Swallow, and died two weeks later. The muir
der was the result Of a feud between Black
Hawk and Green Cloud, there being consider
able jealousy between them over the chief
tainship of the Winnebagos. 1t was a sur
prise to T. r. Reddy, the Indian agent. when
he was able to secure the attendance at the
state fair of both Green Cloud and Black
Hawk Green Cloud is a brother-in-law Of
Jim Swallow, the murderer of Black Hawk s
son. and there is no doubt Of the bitter
feeling between them, although it has not
been openly displayed either on their trip or
their stay at the fair ground.
