Second Day.
The interest in the fair increases as the
exhibition progresses. Notwithstanding
the heat. the grand stand was filled and
every available point around the track was
crowded with the thousands anxious to see
the races. During portion of the day the
exhibition hall was closed to all but the
judges who were engaged In making the
awards; but as soon as this work was COM
pleted the crowds again rushed in to admire
the fine display.
The exhibits of fruit and vegetables in
the lower hall were the largest and de-
cidedly the best ever seen in this county.
Some of the specimen apples, peaches and
pears were truly wonderful In regard to
size and beauty. In no branch Of industry
has this county more rapidly advanced
within the past few years than in the Gull
tivation of fine fruits of all kinds
During the afternoon the side shows, fakirs
and dealers in jewelry did a thriving BUSH
ness, and the market price of silver was
in the shape Of rings, pins, brooches, &c.
A newly returned Klondiker would have
been amazed at the cheapness of the metal
for which he had risked SO much.
Candidates Were ON Hand.
During the day quite number of the
candidates of the three political parties of
the county visited the grounds and were
the center of attraction to their respective
friends and supporters. and many were the
private "confabs" held in out-of-the-way
places. OF course, the ubiquitous gentle
man who claims much influence with the
voters got in his work. Among the visitors
to the grounds were Senator Kyle of South
Dakota, accompanied by Maj W. w. An
derson. formerly United States agent at the
Lower Brule Indian agency of that state.
Col. A. A. Dorsey and Mr. Joseph w. Ber-
rett of Carroll county, and Mr.. E. E. Berry
