with proceeded to carry out the instruc.
tions set forth in the epistle, and asked
the express agent if such a package was
there. Mr.. Graham replied by stating
that he guessed as much, and that it was
now strong enough to wend its way to
Manila without the aid of any express
company. Mr.. Wenner could not under
stand this pointed language, bu. when
shown the package in question it (the
language) was as clear az daylight. He
discovered that The fond miss had packed
a nice assortment of cakes, pies, chewing
gum, oranges, bananas and dates for the
young man to carry to that tropical cline,
and that they had become very much
"stale" on the way. He will not forward
the package to Manila, but wait for fur.

crops of alfalfa, and covering the large
area enclosed by the race track, as we'll
as the space back of the grand stand and
surrounding the pavilion and other
buildings. This will insure visitors
against the annoyance of dust that has
been so conspicuous on windy days at
previous fairs. To the rear of the grand
stand little grove of locust trees has
been set out which not only add attrac-
tiveness to the surroundings, but will in
year or two serve as shade and wind
break to the grand stand. Mr.. Baxter
who has had charge OF the ground the
past two seasons. has certainly made big
changes in appearances there, all of a
substantial and permanent nature, which

The new machinery hall, 40xl00 feet,
is now well under way and it is only a
matter of few days when it will be com
pleted, when Contractor Bruenn and his
force will start upon the stock barns to
be erected near the north entrance to the
grounds.
The track is being put in condition,
but there still remains much work to be
done. The new road machine purchased
by the commission will prove valuable as
it has already demonstrated, and horse
men may expect faster track than they
have ever had before.
Mr.. Williams, the trainer has u number
of horses at the stables on the grounds,
that are daily receiving what is necessary
to enable them to do their "prettiest''
during fair week. Mr.. Williams latest
arrival in the way of horseflesh is Mr..
Cyrus Walkers beautiful five.year-old,
"Mousie," recently brought in from the
latter's Ahtanum ranch. Mousie is al
ready becoming favorite and bids fair
to make record. Her dam has record
of 2:24, and her sire is the wellkuown
horse, Billy Whipple.
Yakimas namesake "Yakimont," but
better known as Monte" owned by
Abe Egln, is to again be seen on the
track this fall. Monte has made his
mile in 2:2lla, but has a record
of 2:23. His sire is the famous Alta
mont. Monte looks as pretty and trim
as ever he will not disappont his adj

the excellent showing he is making this

THE YEAR.

A glance backward over the rapidly
receding year tells variegated story
Of what we have enjoyed and suffered
in the way Of dramatic and musical
experience. The year, comprising, as it
does, the end of the '97 season and the
beginning of that of '9S, will ever be
memorable as having been the war
year, and what that means in the
amusement business your shuddering
manager can best narrate. Even before
the war broke out public excitement
ran so high that people all but forgot
that there were any such places as
theatres, and when in April the dogs
of carnage were let loose the theatres
might as well have been closed up al
together. Considering this fact, our
places of amusement have Jared ex-
tremely well. The Lyceum winked out,
but that would have happened, war
or no war. There was never any need
nor room for it in Salt Lake. The The

stockholders, small ones, lit is true, but
