sey bull also carried off the special
premium of $50 in competition with all
the other bulls on the ground.
President John r. Winder had val
liable overcoat stolen from his buggy
while he was in the directors meeting
on Thursday evening. 1t was the only
thing of value stolen during the entire
fair, SO far as reported to the police.
John r. Barnes of KaysvilIe had on
exhibition a fine display OF barley
grown this year in Davis county, the
yield being ninety bushels per acre. He
had also fine display OF wheat raised
on a dry farm. The grain reached the
fair too late to be entered for pre-
Tniurns.
1t was remarked on all sides the ex-
ceptionally good order preserved all
through the fair, a matter that re-
fleets credit on Chief Hilton's police
department. There were no drunlxs, no
fights, no disorder of any kind, and the
most that The four policemen and the
mounted guard had to do was to keep
the boys from climbing the fence.
An Ogden lady who had been visit
ing in the east the past summer had
much trouble in making her friends be-
Heve that Utah could produce fine
fruit. The prevailing idea there is
that it produces nothing but rich ores
and Dolygamists- To prove the con-
trary she left orders with the fruit
men yesterday to ship to Richard 3.
Nixon, the financial clerk of the United
States senate in Washington a box of
the finest apples and pears that were
exhibited at the state fair. If that does
not convince him that Utah IS a fruit
state, he cannot be convinced Of any
thing.
President John r. Wfnder persists in
saying that he will not serve for an
other year as the president of the Fair
association He means il this time, and
purposes to make everybody under
stand that he means it, so that when
the directors come to select their preSi-
dent for the ensuing year they viii be
forced to make a change in this Office.
who know how valuable and unSelfish
Mr.. Winder's work has been.
A good illustration of the deep in
terest that the people of the state take
in the state fair is furnished by Nels
Johnson, who was one of the exhibit
Ors in the fruit department. Mr.. Mel
sons home is at Fruit in Wayne coun-
ty, seventy-five miles off the railroad.
Fruit is in a little valley in which
there are but six families all told, but
in Mr.. Nelson's exhibit there were
peaches thirteen and a half inches in
diameter, the finest of Ben Davis and
Greening apples and magnificent
ounces OF course conveying this fruit
so far over the rough roads il was not
in as good condition as some of the
other fruit on exhibition, but it is safe
to say that no one who took part in the
fair showed more genuine enterprise
than this exhibitor from Frutti, and
none deserves more credit.
The experience of this year will lead
to q number Of changes in the fair
grounds and the general arrangement
before the next exhibition is given.
Among the changes will be the en-
largement of the space for the display
Of the horses by the removal of the
chicken sheds. The general impression
is that the best change that could be
made would be to move the entire fair
to A AGRICULTURAL park
