Fair opens

Lamar has been getting into hoii-
day attire rapidly this week. Tents
platforms and other work for the va
rious street attractions have been 60
ing up rapidly. The great central
attraction has been the high moline
from which Reckless Russell will
twice day dive into q small tank OF
water. He had an audience OF over
one thousand for his first dive at
noon today although owing to an
unavoidable delay in getting the aP-
paratus ready many had left for the
fair grounds before he took the
plunge.
The vacant lots north of the new
temple have been enclosed for the
boxing contest which is also attract
ing q large share Of the attention 1t
takes place tomorrow. Both pr'nci-
pals, Rube Smith and Kenny Wood
are here. and Judging from the
amount of jaw fighting is being done
over weights, ETC., this is to be the
real article in pugilism.
Yesterday was the first day OF the
fair and large crowd was present
at the grounds to see the displays
and witness the program of sports.
This was interrupted somewhat by
the rains Of the afternoon.
Besides the races there was fine
exhibition Of roping and fancy rid
ing by Luther Dennison and the
Gilman brothers during the after
noon.
The most exciting event Of the AZ
tsrnoon Is usual was the cowboy 1t
mile relay race, Eve horses. Some
splendid riding Was done in this race.
