HILO, April 2S.-While the second
Hawaii County Fair will be, as far as
competitive exhibits go, a purely
county affair as the name indicates,
there will be plenty of exhibits of ali
classes shown from the other islands
These exhibits will be Of an educa-
tional value and will include articles
that will come from many of the ter
ritorial departments. DIR. H. B. FL
hot. who is the head of the fair COM
mittee, has been in communication
with the heads of the different de-
partments on Oahu and the result is
that promises of some very interest
ing exhibits have been made.
Governor Coming.
Governor Pinkham, who was in
vited to attend the fair and open the
Industrial show with an address. has
consented to do so and has sent a
letter accepting the invitation Of the
fair committee.
Among the departments that we're
communicated with In regard to the
sending of exhibits was the United
StateA experimental station, which is
headed by j. H. Westgate. The chief
of the station has promised to send
exhibits to Hilo and he will arrange
it so that the people of this island
will be able to gather some idea of
the great work that is accomplished
at the Makiki station, where all sorts
of experiments are carried out and
where there is wonderland of foli-
age to be seen at all times of the
year.

ing an exhibit at the fair and he IS
already hard at work on collection
of most valuable exhibits that will be
forwarded to Hilo in good time for the
fair. Last year Chief Sanitary lnspec-
tor d. s. Bowman had splendid ex-
hibit in the fair and this year he will
repeat the performance. The Hilo
board of health exhibit, combined
with that from the Honolulu head
office, should prove to be a magnifi-
cent one.
Then there is the forestry and agri-
cultural departments, headed by c. s.
Judd, who is the executive officer.
Under his jurisdiction are four de.
partments - forestry, photographic,
entomology and animal industry. Elk
hibits from each of these departments
are promised for the fair and they
should prove to be as interesting as
any housed at the show. ...:.. d..

DR.. Elliot made a ten-strike when
he gave -. S. Bowman letter to A.

industry bureau in Washington, and
commissioned Bowman to do his best
to get the chief to send one of his
travelling exhibits to Hilo for the Sep
TENDER fair. These travelling exhibit
tions go all over the mainland and
they are the source of much knowl-
edge being acquired by the farmers
and stock raisers of the country
If the travelling exhibit comes to Ha-
waii the small farmers and the large
ranch owners will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing something well worth
while DR.. Elliot thinks that spe-
travelling exhibit to Hilo and that the
exhibits will be many and varied.
A. w. Carter, the big raneher of
this island, will send fine selection
of exhibits to the fair. ALI sorts of
products will be shipped into town
and among the livestock exhibits will
be found some of the best animals in
the islands. ....-.7.

mules that will open the eyes of those

show what difference the selection
