YESTERDAY WAS A DAY FULL OF
INTEREST IN THIS DEPART
MENT, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE
STRONGEST FEATURES OF THE
TRLcoUNTY FAIR.

Yesterday proved one of all en-
crossing interest in the Woman's De-
partment of the Tri-County Fair, for
the prizes were to be awarded for the
best work as represented in a wonder
full collection as submitted by clever
women throughout the three counties
concerned.
Those who have viewed the spark
ling displays of tOothsome jellies, rich
preserves, pats Of golden butter, the
cakes, the pies, and a hundred other
triumphs in this branch of domestic
art, will readily realize that the choos-
ing of the very best among an array
of such perfection could not have been
but difficult.
For hours the judges strove with
the task before them, and the fact
that Escambia, Baldwin and Santa
Rosa counties have some wonderfully
womanly women, in whom the delight
full art of domestic craft is well per
formed, became more and more evil
dent as the judging progressed.
Mrs Reid. of BIRMINGHAM Mhn was
N charge, assisted by the various
committees, worked increasingly, how
ever, until the task stood complete,
and task indeed il had proved The
department of various culinary effort
which has attracted much interest
among all the visitors this week, was
especially difficult, as was also that
OF the fancy work, paintings, and
others. The following decisions were
finally made:
