tended II, ever held here. 1t should
have been satisfactory from the fact
that we had several very expensive
features, namely. the harness horse
races and the association running races.
1t seems the people appreciate fast
races, Notwithstanding there is senti-
ment against them by i few. Fast
races seem Indispensable to get out a
large attendance.
while the educational results are the
main objects of holding fairs. the
amusement features are a necessity to
get an attendance. Although the crowds
at this fair were as large as usual.
there will be small deficit because of
the high class, expensive races.
THE educational, features of the fair
were particularly strong this year.
there having been 200 more entries
than usual.
1.-THE Malheur county fair is an insti-
tuition that must be maintained because
of its educational value and the enthu-
siasm that 1t creates in bringing the
products of the soil and the livestock
of the community together. The fair is
great as a medium of exchange OF ideas
between farmers and stock men. No
man can visit the fair without becom-
ing aroused to greater efforts. which
results in producing more and better
products and livestock OF all kinds"
