| The attendance during yesterday and
| this morning was good, but the first
and second days are never the big
attendance days that the last two are.
The people seemed to enjoy themselves
and the big crowd was a very orderly
and happy one. All of the shows and
booths are now Up and doing business
and they liven up the big grounds a
great deal. The attendance last night
at the Wild West show was large and
the people who went there were much
pleased with the splendid performance.
This show will exhibit every afternoon
and evening during the fair.
The exhibits look better today The
Agricultural building is now pretty
well filled and some good exhibits have
come in since yesterday and others are
coming for the last two days Of the
fair. The exhibit from the new town
of Burbank is a rafting good one and
will do credit to any fair
The corn exhibit has been added to
greatly and now fills most of the space
and the quality and variety Of the corn
is fine and varied. Dr. Boozer's huge
silver loving cup that is to be carried
off by the best exhibit again this year
is occupying a conspicuous place and
looks mighty tempting.
The fruit exhibit is much better than
yesterday and more is coming in.
The Irish and sweet potatoes are as
fine as were ever seen here, and the
farmers seemed to have given especia
attention to the huge sweet tubers, fol
we have never seen anything to equa
the display
| We doubt if there ever was made IL
the state at any county or state fair
a better exhibit of hay and forage
feeds of all kinds The bales of hay
of all kinds and every manner of baleG
/ feed stuff would make any farmer oil
, cattle raiser happy to look at it.
The cotton exhibit is grand, and botf
: bales and baskets of the loose fleec,
staple are to be seen. 1t is one of Thu
| best and most substantial exhibits o
the fair and shows the stranger on,
= of the solid resources of the county.
Mr.. w d. earns seed exhibit is at
tracing a good deal of attention. anC
is very fine and complete. Mr.. y. G
t Gates district agent for the E NJ. F
automobiles, has two of these beautiful
5 new cars in the implement building
anu lHeS are Gel tdIIlS SoOu 10 lDOh dt
E Messrs. Bruce Meffert and Waite
: Tilghman are still on the spot witt
l their Ford cars and are talking thei
many fine points to the admirins
| crowd
| Much of the stuff exhibited has beer
judged and blue ribbons are every
where in evidence.
, The poultry exhibit continues to at
OF At nd tba Ia
ton of that exhibit seem to know the,
: are prize winners and have somethin:
$ to crow over, for they are sure calm:
attention to themselves
! The colored people have their build
. ing filed now and the exhibits o
0 handiwork' is a fine one and would q
credit to anyone. They have every
thing in needlework, kitchen and sho
, industries displayed in most attractiy
exhibits and many visitors of bot
races inspect the hundreds of prett
/ exhibits with much interest The ex
hibit. of Fessenden Academy is excep
tionally fine and shows the good wor'
: of a practical nature that is done b
the pupils Of this worthy institution
under Prof. Wiley. as nothing els
. would.
The exhibit of cattle is fully up t
last year and is most interesting. Som
= of the cows are wonders and as fine a
, the north or west can produce. TIL
G exhibit of young colts is far ahead o
! anything yet shown here and many o
the stalls have from one to three o
! the fine young animals. Some as fin
. specimens of hogs, goats and sheep a
the country can produce are in the pen
and the hog exhibit especially is jus
fine.
The woman's building continues t
tbe the center of attraction. They di
not have half room enough to displa
their beautiful exhibits to advantage
> and many handsome works of art hav
not sufficient room TO show to advaut
), age. Blue ribbons adorn hundreds O
:. articles and it looked to the reporte
q; like there were many more things tina
!, should have born them. Everyone VIII
= sees the buildings, goes into rapture
over the wealth of beautiful worl
= There is every conceivable kind 0
