visit 10 the State Fair at Dallas
last week the trip proving to be
a very enjoyable and instructive
one. They were accompanied by
Profs. Craig and Marshall, the
former gentleman being honored
by the Fair Association in being
selected as Judge in the cattle
classes, his awards giving general
satisfaction.
The first week of the Fair has
been a huge success; on Thursday,
Dallas day, 5000 persons passed
through the turnstiles. The dis
play Of manufactured goods in the
superb Exposition building and
other parts Of the grounds was ex-
ceptionally fine, and called forth
the most fattering eulogies from
all. Indeed, the exhibits were a
revelation TO visitors from other
states, demonstrating in the most
effective manner the astonishing
progress which the Lone Star"
State il making in the commercial
uplifting Of the great Southwest.
The usual monstrosities and
other attractions Of the spike"
came in for their full quota Of
support, and one did not need TO
hesitate patronizing the Igqorrotes,
"Creation," Katzeujammer Castle,
"1he Missing Link" Beautiful
Bagdad," and others of their kind
inasmuoh as the glib gentlemen
who exercised their elooutionary
powers in front Of their respective
booths always assured his hearers
that he would refund their money
If dissatisfied. The Bump the
Bumps" and the "Figure s" proved
to be as effective a liver stimulator
as a ride on "broncho" pony.
Miss Tottie Limejuioe, and others
Of her kind, did a roaring business,
especially among the fair sex, and
were prepared to foretell the mys-
teries of the future life, give de.
scription of a future wife or hus-
band-even TO the color Of their
hair-and unblushingly estimate
the number Of olive branches
which would grace their hymenoal

drew enormous crowds,
and numerous bands of music en-
livened the proceedings every day.
The exhibition Of cattle was
rather disappointing, the short
horns being poorly represented
both in numbers and quality, gen.
orally, and the Herefords were
by their total absence.
However, the Red Polls showed up
in strong force, and we were pleased
.o.see Howell Bros. herd, Of Bryan,
make such a fine showing. They
we're awarded numerous premi-
inns, "Dr. Corporal" their SPLEEN
lid aged bull, not only gaining
irst in his class, but was awarded
he sweepstakes prize for the best
pull, any age.
The swine exhibit was credit
o the State, and proved conclu-
lively that Texas does not need to
ear any other state in the quality
If her porkers; animals which had
gained premier prizes at the north
,rn state fairs and the Worlds
air were brought here TO compete
With Texas swine, and in several
instances were placed secbnd or
bird. About no head were on
and the quality was Of
high order. The Poland Chinas
we're much in evidence, no less
han SAB animals being on exhibi-
ion.
On Tuesday and Wednesday a
Itcck judging contest took place
inder the auspices Of the Fair As
.ociation and the Texas Swine
Breeders Association who con-
ributed $4,000 aud 5000 re-
as prizes. Cadets Yakey,
