eight or ten on one branch that at
tTacted many.

fine sheep were exhibited by d, c.
Booth. In the pig department were

beauties that were good to look up
on.

The fair grounds are commodious
and beautiful. AS you are seated in
an ample ampitheater you look
across the broad expanse to the Nor
nal school grounds. The grounds
comprise forty acres level as a floor
They are so located as to present a
fine view of the town, and we cannot
improve on Bro. Todd's description
of them in his Caravan, so we will
Just appropriate it:
Just in front, and beneath, nes-
ties the city with it's shade trees,
residences, churches, public build
Ings. business houses and beautiful,
clear Spearfish creek. Across the
valley and overlooking all, stands
old Lookout Mountain, like a quiet
sentinel guarding a trust. Green
covered Speartish Mountain does du-
ty upon the right, while between the
two, Centennial prairie and the
Deadwood foothills WOO the eye, and
Crow Peak and Little Crow guard
the western horizon. An outlet to
the scene is furnished by the Spear
fish valley and the low-lying Redwat-
er bluffs, enticing the vision to the
North Country plains as they are
sighted and lost in blue horizon"
The trip home was made in three
hours, two engines being used to
haul the train. 1t was without in
cident. 1t being dark all the seen
cry the pass cngers were permitted to
enjoy was that those in the latter
coaches could see the lights in the
forward coach swing g back and
forth to the right and left of the
front door, and this showed them
that the road was just as crooked as
when they went over it.
At the conclusion of one of the
heats in the races yesterday the
crowd hooted and greeted with cat
calls the drive of Anterose, who
would raise his whip when White
Wings got even with him and this
made the latter break in every heat.
But the judges gave the race to
Anterose, much to the dissatisfaction
of the spectators.
Many of the visitors took in the
fish hatchery, which was an interest
ing sight.
The hotels were crowded last
night and rooms were at premium.
Both at the Enterprise and Cara
van Offices business seemed to be
good and all hands were busy. AT
the former office a pleasant chat was
had with Bro. Todd, who got out a
paper and had all the news of the
fair in the day it happened.
Telephone reports from Spearfish
today are to the effect that the crowd
is nearly as large as yesterday, the
races are good and everybody happy
The weather man certainly did the
hight thing by Lawrence county.
