The closing of the gates of the big
Lewiston Charleston fair tonight will
witness the ending Of oone of the most
successful meetings in the Northwest
and by~far the greatest fair in the his
tory of the local association.
The attendance today established a
new record for the closing day, and
the records in the clerks Office show
the attendance for therweek to exceed
the aggregate attendance last year by
more than 5000.
Every feature of the big fair has
been an unqualified success, and to
President w. G. Seefey, Secretary
Newton and the board Of directors are
the people of the lewiston Charleston
country indebted for the, excellent pro-
gram that has afforded the entertain
ment and the exploitation of the
country's resources in such manner
as has brought forth the commenda-
-tion of the thousands who have visited
the grounds during the week.
The chief feature of "today's pro-
gram was the racing, and nothing was
needed to be added to the splendid
speed program to make this one of the
best drays of the week. The special
harness event, with Sherlock Holmes,
Capa de Orc and Lord Lovelace as en-
tries, was a grand circuit feature. 1t
was this race that brought the Owl
train into Lewiston this morning load
ed to the fullest capacity and larger
crowd from the Clearwater country
besides holding the thousands in the
city who would have left last night
and this morning had not this big fea'
-ture been on the boards for this after
noon.
The running events were among the
best that have been presented and the
snap and energy with which the races
were pulled off showed the good feel
ing entertained by the horsemer
toward the Lewiston Charleston -asso-
ciation.
Even through the last day of the fail
the big exposition building was the
center of interest during the morning
and was. filled during the afternoon
while the splendid racing was taking
place. The fine exhibit representing
the products and resources of Asotif
county, to which was awarded the pre-
MUM for the best county exhibit, wal
the center of attraction during th'
greater part of the day.
The Idaho county exhibit, with th'
products from the fertile Salmon rive
district, showing the fine qualities o
fruits and vegetables, the unsurpasse'
grains and grasses from the highlan'
districts of the Camas prairie and th'
hardy fruits from this section notet
for the rare keeping qualities; an
from the mountain sections are speci
mems from the rich mines, showing
the varied ores rich in copper AM
gold.
The bringing of this exhfbit to Lew
iston- Charleston this year is but tn
beginning of greater things, and wit
the opening Of the exposition building
next year the counties by the river
will find a competitor IN the big coun
4y which is noted for its varied re
sources and the excellence Of all PROD
uets.
The Orofino and Clearwater exhibit
while smaller than the county exhio
fits, Is most complete and representa-
tive of the rich river valley that ex
tends through both idaho and Ne
Perce counties. 1t is this exhibit tina
was assembled at Orofino for the fai
conducted there and brought forth tn
praises from the large number OF peo
pie who attended the celebration there
1t is expected to make this exhibit
permanent feature each year and wi
be representative of that section OF IN
rich lewiston Charleston country.
