THE suNHYsloE FAIR
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Displays We're Finer in Every De-
partment, and Interest Greater
Than Ever Before.

complete in every department. Bet
ter attended and a grand success in
every particular, says the Sunnyside
Sun.
This being an of year in fruit in
the lower valley, it was expected that
the fruit exhibit would fall little
short of previous years. This may
be partially true, but If it lacked any,
thing in quantity, 1t was certainly
made up in quality and variety. A
handsomer array of apples would be
hard to gather together in any COM
Fine samples of pears, peaches,
prunes and plums adorned the tables.
There were numerous varieties Of
grapes, conspicuous among them
home grown California grapes and
the far famed Flame Tokay. Here
also were several boxes Of strawber-
ries and an exhibit Of the fruit of the
honey bee from the apiary of Chas
Sager of Belma.
The vegetable display ought to
convince the most skeptical that Sum-
nyside is the garden spot Of the
world. Squashes that weigh S5
pounds, watermelons over two feet
in length, cornstalks a rod long,
sugar beets weighing 10 pounds;
these are some of the dimensions and
the quality is so-equal with the size.
Nothing produces quality like the
suns raps and we have the sun. The
attractive prices brought out an ex-
tensive exhibit of vegetables, far sur
passing any previous efforts along
that line in Sunnyside. Nothing bet
ter will be seen at the state fair.
The live stock department is a
growing department of the Sunny
side fair. Last year, for the first
time, there was small exhibit of
stock. This year the number was
many times increased. Dairy cows
predominated and the Jersey headed
the list, but there were good exhibits
of other breeds. Among the horses
there were some handsome Percher-
on, Clyde and Hambletonian colts
There were some fine Doroc Jersey
hogs and pigs in the hog pens and a
few Poland Chinas just to prove that
the red is not the only hog in exist
ence.
The art hall in which was COM
bined the curio and needlework de-
partments was always the scene of
an interested and admiring throng.
The artistic and aesthetic tastes of
our people were not overshadowed by
the evidences of more material
things Some of the productions on
exhibition would be creditable to any
art gallery. The picture of Sunny
side taken from the point of Snipes
mountain and taking in the valley
from Outlook to a point about two
miles southwest of Sunnyside, at
tracted no little attention.
The floral exhibit was large and
Meter than anything attempted along
TINT line heretofore and the arrange
meht of the display demonstrated
rS1tistic skill on the part of the ladies'
haing this feature in charge. Suny-
side and can beat the world on vege-
tables. She will do the same in
roses and flowers when she gets
started.
