The second day of the state fair OPEN
ed a little cool but with increased
crowds as the late exhibits are being
put into place and the livestock that
were delayed in arriving began filling
up the stock barns to capacity. The
forenoon was devoted mostly to music
and the Fernwood band of Yamhill
county, the Cherrybud band, and the G.
A. r. Veterans Fife and Drum corps
rendered concerts in the grove and in
the old pavilion. The grizzled veterans
with their martial music brought new.
strains to the customary brass bands
and the pioneers who heard the same
music in 81 and the younger ones who
were attracted by the novelty thronged
about the seven veterans who played
the lifting tunes of the past genera
tion with the dash of younger days.
The race program was started on
schedule time this afternoon but none
of the finals were completed at a late
hour. The cool weather and fast time
made in the trial heats this afternoon
indicated that this years race meet
would be one of the most successful ever
held at the Lone Oak track.
The feature of today's program will
be the horse show which is scheduled
to start with a horse parade at 8 0 clock
this evening. The parade will be held
in the big tent stadium which seats
5000 people and promises to be packed
this evening. This novel feature of the
fair program was instituted this year
for the first time and, the heavy entry
lists show that the extra trouble and ex-
pense will be more than justified in the
attraction which is added to the state
fair.
Three carloads of show horses arrived
this morning from the Portland Hunt
club and will be in the parade this ev-
ening. Two more carloads of livestock
from Vancouver also arrived today and
will be added to the livestock exhibit.

The rattle and the patter of tack ham
mers resounded through the new pavi-
lion today as the late exhibits were be-
ing put into their stalls which crowd
every inch of available space. The ex-
hibits of the counties show that the hor-
ticulturalists, and agriculturists have
profited by the keen competition of last
year and bigger pumpkins, taller corn
and redder apples are shown than ever

from dry farming are shown in the ex-
hibits of the eastern Oregon counties
and in addition the Umatila and Kla-
math Indian reservations have credit
able exhibits as samples of the indus
try of the Indians.
The difficulty in obtaining ears for
the shipments of exhibits to the state
fair this year accounted in large
measure for the delay in placing the pro-
ducts of the distant farms and orchards
in their places in the new pavilion.
This Exhibit Withdrawn.
One of the numerous sideshows for
enticing the nckles from the unwary
was closed last night by the Fairgrounds
police when the "Border Days of 49,"
was shut down. 1t appears that the
border days show consisted mainly in
collecting 25 cents admission to go in
side to see some painted scenery of the
California mountains which was borrow
ed from a cheap theatre. In addition
l there was miners dance in full pro-
gress and number of women who were
part of the show induced the male
members of the audience to dance with
them. After the dance they invited him
to drink soda pop at two bits for two
drinks. 1t is well known that few men
became sufficiently enthused on soda
pop to pay quarter for single drink
and one Of the men last night made n
kick to the bar tender. The disgruntled
