Vic Bierbower was one of the judges

her not to make it known until they

will look forward with ever increasing

THE STATE FAIR.

About two months ago few enter
prislng citizens of Boise talked over the
proposition of a State Fair. 1t was
agreed then and there to hold a Fair
and, as an assurance of good faith, Erv
W. Johnson was at once elected director
general and several we'll known citizens
were made directors. 1t was bold en-
terprlse and it required nerve to carry
it through.
Well the Fair has been held and it has
been decidedly the most successful en-
terprise that ever originated in Boise.
1t was an honor to the state and reflects
credit on its promoters and everybody
seems pleased over the results,
The races were perhaps the most at
tractive feature of the Fair. There was
a splendid mile track, a commodious
grand stand and the horses, both trot-
ting and running, were above the aver
age in speed.
The general accommodations for the
people at the Fair were good. The
crowd was Unexpectedly large and caught
the city somewhat unprepared to take
care of so many strangers.
The railroads were very liberal and
this induced thousands of people to 90
who otherwise could not have afforded
it.
The weather however was unfavorable
it was cold and windy and one day was
entirely lost on account of rain. In the
future these Fairs should be held three
weeks earlier.
The exhibits were exc eedingly fine
though on a comparatively small scale.
The fruit and vegetable display was
simply marvelous-especially to strang-
ers. The woman's department was con-
stantly crowded by the lovers of beauty.
The educational exhibits were highly
creditable and the mineral display WAS
verv extensive. All exhibits were on
small scale but there was enough to
show what this state can do, and that
will be done at the next Fair,
The live stock exhibit owes its success
principally to John Sparks-he brought
a magnificent herd of his famous blooded
Herefords from his home ranch in New.
The bulls and COWS were constantly sur
by an admiring crowd and John
Sparks was the most envied and most
praised man at the Fair.
There was also fine exhibit of hogs
and also of blooded sheep, while the
poultry show excelled anything of the |
kind ever seen in the west.
Lincoln county was fairly though not |
represented. There were
several fruit exhibits and those which
attracted the most attention were the
fine fruits from the Briggs and Perrine
ranches.
Among our people we noticed on the
grounds o. P. Johnson and wife, J. L.
Fuller and daughter, Joe Keefer and
wife, Joe White and family, R. M. Nc
Jollum and family. Matt McFall and
