CHILDREN'S DAY AND ITS LARGE ATTENDANCE AND
 PLEASANT WEATHER.
The Poultry Exhibit-Its DlversiA cation of Breed, it's Fullness and it's Fortunate Own ers-The Side Shows,
 Stands, Etc.

As the writer promised in his Fair article of Thursday that finer wealth CT would be resultant of great good in auRmenting the attendance at our State Fair, he was duly gratifed to see his prediction fulfilled Friday.
 Friday being Ladies' and Chil- dren's Day at our State Fair, it was certainly to be expected that Heaven would second the efforts of the Fair managers in so far as to vouchsafe to them one fair day in which, by the introduction to the grounds of beauty, purity and innocence they might retrieve the one false step they madein allowing the dissertation of the grounds by the admittanee of the horde of Mid way dancers.
 The grounds and the grand stand certainly presented a gala-day ap- pearance on Friday afternoon, and to stand by and watch the frolic- some enjoyment of the happy school children and to admire the beauty and grace of the ladies present was certainly a pleasure, and it was with regret the reporter turned from the happy scene and betook himself to his duty in
 THE POULTRY EXHIBIT BUILDING.
 To lovers of superior grades of poultry the exhibit Ut our Sate Fair cannot fail of being highly gratifying and pleasing. The exhibit, though vecy fine and extensive, is not yet as complete as it will be later, for many from a distance have promised ex- hibits, who have found it impossible to bring their poultry in as yet, and many more exhibits will be cooped in the poultry building between now and the closing day of the Fair However, the extent and quality of the exhibits are very gratifying. even at the present time, and will well re- pay the trouble of a visit to this de. partment.
