The Caldwell Fair has been big
surprise as we'll as success. When
the premium lists came out great
many predicted a failure, claiming
that a fair could not possibly be a
success on so short notice. While
the managers of the Fair we're san
gline that good display could and
would be made even on so short no
tice, still they are as surprised as
much as anyone else at the
great number of exhibits, and
the unexpected quality of all
classes of stock and farm produce;
while the ladies in the art department
have fairly outdone themselves. Every
body was surprised and, of course,
everybody was happy, for the most
sanguine expectation failed to any
where approach the proportions to
which our little experiment has swelled
The credit is all due to the ranchers
and stockmen. They have responded
to the call with an earnestness which
always brings success with it. Weiser,
Payette, Emmett, Star, Middleton,
Parma, Mountain Home and Boise
City have responded, and the result
is that there is an exhibition on at Cald-
well to-day as fine display Of stock
as can be found anywhere, while the
vegetable exhibition challenges the
world California not excepted While
il would be folly to state that the fruit
display could not be beaten, still it
must be admitted that it is extra
ordinarily fine. The entries in the art
and domestic department run close to
100, while in farm products there are
about 65;. in all the entries aggregated
exhibition. We make mention of as
many as our space will permit;
Commissioner H. X. Hartley, of
Caldwell, has on exhibition some Of
his unexcelled watermelons which
have supplied the Caldwell trade this
summer, and very fine variety OF
squash and pumpkins; while there are
larger squash upon the grounds than
those exhibited by Mr.. Hartley, there
surely is no finer variety.
It is simply impossible for any one
to give a description of the art de-
partment and do justice to all. The
thousand and one pretty things which
delighted the eyes of all beholders,
were all worthy Of praise, and to
praise one would be doing an injustice
to the others The following ladies
