mentS Completed for One
of the Finest Shows
of Fruit Made.

Albany, Or, Oct. 0.-(SpecIal)-
Preparations are we'll under way for
the forthcoming apple fair to be
held in this city October 81, 2S, 20.
The gymnasium of the Alec club has
been secured for the use of the apple
fair committee, and therein all fruit
and flower displays will be made,
and the lectures and literary and
musical exercises of the fair be held
The room is an ideal one, situated
in the central part of the city, and
will afford every convenience for the
occasion. The directors of the Alec
club courteously voted at their last
meeting to issue special cards to Wis
itors from out of town taking part
in the program, so that during their
stay in Albany they will have the
freedom of the club parlors.
In addition to the display OF
apples, which now promises TO be of
a very high class, there will be Civ
en- probably the finest exhibition of
Oregon chrysanthemums ever shown
In the central Willamette valley.
Devotees of this queenly flower in
Albany are coaxing their finest buds
for display at that time. One en-
thuslastic grower reports that he
has now a blossom, only partly de-
yoloped, which measures Sh inches
In diameter remarkable product.
The program committee of the APP
pie fair has partly completed the
program for lectures and other exer-
cises The addresses will be given in
the Alec club auditorium, which has
a seating capacity of about 200.

nasium, however, where the exhibits
