Athletic Notes.

| Athletic Notes.
The annual Lincoln County
Fair is now in progress in this
city. The weather has been
ideal all week, although it was
very stormy all last week, which
greatly discouraged all who had
worked so hard for the success
Of the Fair, and probably kept
many at home fearing bad
weather during the fair. The
attendance has not been what
it should have been but the ex-
hibits of all kinds, especially the
stock, is much better than at
any previous fair. The carnival
features are lacking, not on ac-
count of any fault of the Fair
Board, which had a contract,
signed in good faith, with a first
class carnival company, to fur
nish the attractions at this Fair.
The carnival company, for some
unknown reason, failed to come.
The members of this Board are
to be commended for their un-
firing efforts during the past
several weeks in behalf of the
Fair, and are entitled to the
thanks of every man, woman
and child in the county.
Special mention must be
made of the great exhibits of
D. ]. Derby, Trowbridge & Son,
the oranges of Eddyville and
Toledo, the stock exhibits of l..
c. Mowery, e. T. Radiant, John
Lloyd, c. Bruner, P. A. Miller,
Claus Christensen, Mcdowell,
/. ]. Pepin, Riddle & Sons and
many others, but space and time
forbids.
T. T. Geer spoke yesterday
in the interest of the candidacy
of DR.. Withycombe for governor
and for other Republican NOM
inees. A Socialist speaker spoke
Wednesday,.
I The Oregon Hygiene Society
has a large tent on the ground
with exhibits, charts, literature
ETC., teaching the object of the
society.
The Board has made arrange
ments to take some of the ex'
hibits to the state fair at Salem
next week. While the exhibits
will not reach the state fair as
fresh as If gathered right from
the field, there is no doubt but il
will make good showing ant
we would not be surprised to see
this exhibit bring some goot
ribbons to this county. Messrs
Coin and Wheelock will take the
exhibit and have charge of it.
In the fish booth are some
mighty fine specimens of fish
among them is a monster chi.
nook salmon and a small seal
which was killed near the mil
boom and being exhibited by e

istered Holstein cattle, which

The poultry exhibits are not
many but the birds are all OF
high quality.
Thursday was Newport Day

neighboring city were here and
many more would have come

to bring them. The Truant

The Nashville Creamery AS
sociation had a dne exhibit OF
butter in charge of d. +. Lister
of that place and they gave out
many pounds OF their product
as samples. This was a fine adj
yertising feature for the cream.
cry. The Toledo Creamery's
display was also exceptionally
fine and captured first prize fol
their product, though the Judge
making the award stated that
the difference between the pro-
ducts of the two creameries was
very slight, both being first
class.
The field meet Wednesday

here. Slletz won the silver cup
