The LIST OF PREMIUM WINNERS

Last Year.
The state fair closed as it opened, un-
{ er sunny skies. The weather was al.
most perfect and was in itself treat to
Yakima's guests The attendance at the
fair on the whole was very satisfactory
but would have been much larger had
the legislature given the commissioners
some discretion as to the dates, the last
week in September finding the farmers
and hop growers bnsily engaged In their
harvest. An endeavor to have this de-
| tect remedied will be made at the next
session of the legislature at which time
an effort will also be made to secure a
suitable appropriation TO make the fair
| Estate one" in its full meaning. The
gate receipts this year were $3.50 greater
than in 1899 but the receipts from the
grand stand we're $l75 less, the income
from both being $2455. All the bills are
not yet in and no financial statement has
been made but Secretary Gum is of the
opinion that those who signed the guar
antee will be called upon for a large por-
ton of the obligation.
The fair was greater success than was
anticipated but work as the commits
sioners will, and good work was done by
them under dispirlting conditions, the
expenditures are bound to be greater
| than the receipts. a large amount of
money, however, is yearly left in the
city by fair visitors which more than
compensates for the deficit the business
men will be called upon to make good,
the inconvenience suffered by some, and
the work contributed by others.
| The races we're on the whole very sat-
sfactorv and in three instances the
track record was lowered, while in the
free for-all pace the time of 2:l1La, made
by Kittitas Ranger in close heat with
Alte Norte, is the fastest mile record for
Washington, Oregon and Idaho. There
were other fast and closely contested
races, while the Indian races were all
exciting and run ''for blood.'
