the fall bench show circuit was shown
clearly by the large interest the event
aroused this year and the many dog
breeders from various parts Of New
England who attended the show. From

afternoon the large tent in which the
dogs were benched was thronged with
people while the judging which occupied
most of Wednesday was watched by
hundreds of interested spectators Many
compliments were heard with regard to
the manner in which the show was con-
Quoted and the credit for this belongs
IN large measure to Superintendent c.
h. welcome and Assistant Superintend-
ent A. L. Billings, although they were
ably assisted by w. H O'Connor repre-
sentative of the Austin Biscuit company,
w. c. Gessner of the Sanitas company,
Tom B. Middlebrooke and James Nolan
VINO acted as stewards and hustled the
judging so rapidly that all the awards
were made by o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon.

The 22d annual fair is now enrolled as
one of the most successful in the history
of the Valley Fair organization 1t had
total attendance for the three days,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, of a
plump 5000 despite the fact that it was
forced to run the gauntlet of all kinds Of
weather
One Of the heaviest transforms of the
season prevailed on Monday, preventing
many exhibitors from getting their dis
plays into position on the grounds. The
conditions Tuesday morning were very
threatening and doubtless kept thousands
of people from coming to town. During
Tuesday afternoon a thunder shower
broke up the program for short time
but the races were finished successfully

a novel feature of the Estey Organ
company's exhibit in it's special building
was the display of a collection of everv

organ. The parts were arranged attire
lively and numbered over 1900. There
were shown also specimens of all the
different kinds Of wood used. the diff
ierent colored felts and the different
feathers, besides sections OF organs in
process of construction. The exhibit con-
tained four pilnos and four organs, in
cluding the little folding missionary or

out the fair crowds were delighted with
the tone qualities brought out by Fred

PET STOCK.

An interesting place for young and old
was the pet stock department where rab-

tion of the visitors. Most of them were
lonesome after being Gagged up so long
and especially in the morning made all
kinds of friendly advances toward the
people who came in, all but the big
swapping turtle exhibited by Charles W.
Reed of Hinsdale who suHenly refused
to pay the slightest attention to any
thing that went on about him except TO
draw back his head and threaten to
snap if curious hand came too near
him. For the wild animals the raccoons
shown by Henry Clark of this town were
general favorites as they were ready and
anxious to take tidbits from the hands
of the visitors. Purle and Clarence
Covey had some good Belgian hares and
there was an unusually good number OF
cats and kittens.

he could not distinguish the words the tune

Austin was delighted. He gave over watching
the couple in the valley and helped her circle the
flock and keep them from spreading.
The next four days passed with amazing swift
ness for Austin. His mornings were spent among
the oaks upon the hill, where the turkeys never
failed to make their appearance. He took shot

idea was so abhorrent that he determinedy put it
aside, and fell asleep thinking of possible changes
in the decorations and furnishings of the big stone
house on the avenue.
It was early. morning when he awoke and looked
out. Austin dressed hurredly; and quietly made
his way ont upon the broad lawn, Then he pulled
his soft hat over his eyes, settled his coat, and
made off down the carriage road walking briskly.
To reach the creek was easy. But once on it's
edge, he looked up the house and felt that the
long pull back would be less difficult after re-

temples; the hazel eyes, heavy-lashed, that sug-
gested the yellow panses he had seen summing
themselves along the lane; the straight, delicate
nose: and her sweet mouth, brilliantly touched
with scarlet.
He took off his hat, at which the turkeys gave
way in renewed fear. "Good-morning," he said,
pleasantly.
"Good-morning," she answered, speaking with
out trace Of foreign accent. Then, waving branch
and hat she passed on, replying to his smile
timidly
He mentioned her at lunch "Ah!' said Hal;
a-a-ah!" as If he had found something especially
delectabie his plate. That's Vincenza And
I'll bet she's the prettiest girl in California
Everyone at the table promptly agreed. Austin
felt something like surprise over this singleness
of opinion. Even Miss Scott and Dorothy came out
with no protesting butts

CHANGE IN LIBRARY
Plan to Change Examinations VIII Be
Discussed Before the Civil
Service Commission
Tuesday

In order to clear away any further
pickering the civil service commission
will on Tuesday afternoon next give
the public library staff an opportu-
nifty to say why examinations for pro-
motion should be limited to employees
of one grade, then the next, and so
on, the promotions being gradual
Somehow the impression gained
ground that these examinations here
after would be free to the world, which
policy if carried out would limit the
chances of employees who had served
long and felt that they had earned the
good things in the gift of the library
The library senate his discussed the
problem and by a vote of 16 to op
posed opening the examinations to the
world in most of the grades.
Addressing the commission yesterday
Charles F. Lummis wrote that "the
peculiar climate of California attracts
library workers from all over, and If
they We're given the opportunity to
compete unrestricted they would crowd
into positions where they would not be
as useful as local employees, because
they do not understand the library, the
people, the wants and the conditions" :"
Mr.. Lummis went on to say that he
approved of admiXture of brains from
e elsewhere but the imported product
was not necessarily the best, and a
"lunger." no matter how smart, need
not necessarily exclude the western
applicant.
young women who have served in
different grades should not be out
stripped by clever tenderfeet who come
here to use the library position as a
convenience but really to seek the cli-
mate" said the librarian, "and it must
be remembered that our girls frequent
ly give their services free for six
months. Not one of our girls can go
east and get into a library there with
out going up by grades"
The civil service commission de-
cided to leave the question of grouping

ent and let the library officials and en-
plOyes air their views first
