1t is said that II Geo covered the num-
Der OF those who visited the state fair
yesterday. Whatever the number, the
crowd was enormous; it was as great
a crowd as the fair people could take
care Of comfortably on second day.
IL is the testimony of the officials Of
the fair that the crowd yesterday was
larger by far than it was two years
ago. Mr.. Ensign. who is the secretary
of the fair. says that it was larger than
any second day crowd that ever assem-
,bled
:. The crowd yesterday at the Utah state
fair did as crowds mostly do at any
state fair-saw exhibits, saw the stock
watched the time of the races. was
thrilled with the daring of the special
lists YVES amazed at the spiendor of the
fireworks. and, at last. went home tired
and ready 20 sleep.
The races yesterday were better than
they were Monday, and there was an
event on the track not on the card
when one of the horses ran away for
four miles. The event was spectacular,
but il was tiresome 10 the horse. The
ether main attraction on the race course
was the Derby. The races, whose sum-
rlares Will be found on the never-fail-
ing sporting page, were good; it Is said
by nearly all OF those who, witnessed the
events that they were about the best
that have ever been seen in Utah.
The Loudest Feature.
The great feature, and the loudest, was
the dog show, Nobody knows by &C
tual count how mary dogs there are on
exhibition. but there are surely a lot
II is pretty hard to keep a dog from
jumping around. in spite of the fact that
there is number on his cage, cell, d.
vision, section. kennel or whatsoever il
may be called. The judges yesterday
succeeded in wading through forty-seven
dogs, and there are more than that num-
Der left to be gone through with still
no md will ha af
O'Clock this forenoon.
Tremendous progress has been made in
the horticulture and Horticulture depart
ments. The arrays OF apples. peaches,
pears. grapes and the dozens of different
Utah products. from the almond to the
squash, are quite all in place now; there
is only a little lacking and hammerinB to
be done here and there. The good book
of the fair says that these things ought
TO come into the judgment day on the first
day of the fair. but there were so very
few of them that could pass muster at
st: Peters gate that extra lateral rights
principles were recognized; whoever wins
or whoever loses, will not suffer at the
hands of the board of final arbitration.
for in reason all things must be taken
into consideration. including the delay in
the beginning Of all state fairs.
Judging of Poultry.
Yesterday there was to be a judging of
the poultry exhibit. but two of the In
uidh games got INTO Dig llSnt- ana the
pigeons weren't ready TO coo just when
a judge with long whiskers wanted them
TO, and they are going to judge the pOul-
try exhibit at 10 O'Clock in the morning.
The machinery department is lamentably
slow in getting into the game. There are
only three or four implement firms that
are In any sort of shape TO show what
they can do.
Three schools" or exhibitions by the
pupils of the school for the deaf and blind
at Ogden were attended by hundreds of
fair visitors yesterday. The exhibit is a
revelation, and the revelators in the flesh
proved that there was no fake about it,
but that it was all there-a marvel of edu-
caticnal science. There will be three
schools a day, at ., and o'clock and
on Friday the orchestra will be here from
ogden to show the multitudes what can
be done in music.
