Night Show Presented.

The greatest feature of the fair
the live stock parade and show
was seen without hitch in the pro-
gram. The extraordinary number of
entries in the stock departments made
the exhibition much greater than in
previous years and the large crowd
thoroughly enjoyed this feature each
day
The dome of the pavilion was hung
with the national colors and the
flags of other nations. The boxes on
the four sides were draped with hunt
ing and many of the state officials
and prominent stock men of the world
occupied them. In the north box was
Gov. B. F. Carroll and other state
officers. The west boxes were occu-
pied by the breeders and stock men,
including A. b. Swift.
When the Iowa Brigade band struck
up "The Star SDangled Banner" the
big doors at the south end of the
pavilion swung open and fifty mag
nificent Percheron and Belgian horses
pranced into the arena behind attend
ants clad in white uniforms. shoes
and caps. The big horses were dec
Grated with blue ribbons won at vari-
Gus shows and fairs.

Cattle Win Applause.

But the big demonstration from the
people who packed the seating ca
pacity of the pavilion came when the
Short-horn, Polled Durham and Red
Polled cattle entered the ring Some
of the animals were literally covered
with blue ribbons which were hung
about their solid bodies in strings.
Following these came the dairy cat
tie, the Holsteins. Jerseys, Guern-
seys and Ayrshires.
Between the stock parades were
the vaudeville numbers by tumblers,
comedians and acrobats. Never in the
history of the fair have such high
class attractions been seen. Some of
the acts actually had to be driven
from the arena by the ringmaster in
order to complete the program at the
set time.
The hippodrome ended when Swift
& Co.'S Percheron six horse team and
]. Crouch & Sons six horse team en-
tered the arena after the parade of
mules, ponies, saddle horses, Here
fords, Angus and Galloway cattle.
The new method of showing the
live stock is unique The animals are
led around the arena three times af-
ter entering and then the parade is
divided into three parts, each section
forming a circle. The stock in the
inner circle parade one way, the sec
ond circle in the opposite direction
and the outside circle in the same
direction as the inner one. After this
they are lined up face to face along
the center of the arena.

Record Attendance.


Wednesdays receipts broke all pre-
yious records for the state fair, &C
cording to the announcement made
that night by the officers OF the
association A marked increase was
also shown in the total receipts over

ceding year of s11.52l.49.
A miniature horse constructed en-
tirely of grains was placed in the
agricultural building.
There was at least third more
campers on the grounds this year
than ever before. and the camp was
like small city, with streets named
and tents numbered.
Pains gorgeous spectacle. "The
Battle in the Clouds" pleased the
crowd, and was better than any ever
shown on the grounds. More fire
works were burned and the vaudeville
! acts were Of higher class: =.

GREAT FAIR CLOSES
Net Receipts Less Than Those Of
a Year Ago.
COLD RAIN CAUSED THE DROP
Attendance Greater This Year Than
Ever Before, but 5000 More Was
Paid in Premiums Than
in 1908.

Des Moines, Sept. 4--The fifty-fifth
annual Iowa state fair closed last
night with parade of 100000
worth of live stock in the pavilion
The net receipts Of the entire week
were smaller than those of the sea-
son of 1908, although the gross re-
ceipts for the season will be about
the same
Rain and cold are responsible for
the falling off in the amount OF re-
ceipts. In an effort to make this the
greatest fair Iowa has ever known
the management spent $4,000 more for
premiums than on the previous year,
and the general expenses were higher
by several thousands of dollars
When it comes to attendance, this
years fair had that of 1908 beaten
by 1850 Thursday night, but this in
crease is not sufficient to raise the
profits above those Of the preceding
year

ton to Report Decrease
in Production.

While the American farmer has har-
vested bumper crops this year, the
fs rmers of Europe have not been far
behind. According to the European
correspondent Of the Department OF
Agriculture the harvest abroad has gen.
orally surpassed expectations.
Most astOnished Of all was the enor-
nous increase in yield OF the worlds
grain crops European authorities esti-
mate that there viii be gain Of from
1S5. 0OO.0 600 TO 10000, 900 bushels in the case
Of the worlds wheat crop; about 265.-
100000 bushels more Of corn, and oats
shows the enormous Increase of $780,
O00 bushels above the figures Of last
years production.
The year has been most favorable FOR
barley and oats, and nearly every Euro
peap nation has harvested record crops.
In Hungary the yield is the biggest on
record
Roumania is almost the only foreign
nation to report decreases over the pre-
harvest estimates, attributable to severe
drought. The hop crop in England will
be the lowest on record. the entire crop
only being saved &rom destruction by
blight after repeated spraying.
