A very singular thing happened the
other duy at the Rowe log chute at the
mouth of Wind river. The chute, by the
way, ia 500 feet up on an incline andJKX)
feet farther when reaching the top, and
there ia timber enough accessible to last
-'0 vears. The chute is bordered on both
sides all the way by large trees. When
chuting the logs one of them when near
the bottom veered off, trie end of it
striking and penetrating a monster pine
for two feet. The loose end swung
around the chute, and the workmen,
quick to perceive an advantage, braced
and fastened it for a bearing and now
the chute at this point is more substan
tial than any in the world.

COAL DISCOVERED.
A Ton-foot Vein Which Vrnwi Wlrtrr

Mr. Winans was in the city this morn
ing with specimens of coal, which haa
recently been discovered near the town
bearing hia name. The prospects ere
more flattering thun any of the kind ever
discovered in Oregon, and Mr. Winana
has no doubt but that he has stumbled
ufKin an extensive field of it. A force of
men are now at work sinking a shaft to
develop it. The vein is already ten feet
thick and slopes downward in tho true
Pennsylvania faHhion. The further it
is developed the wider it grows and the
better the quality of the coal. It burns
readily, is hard and of good color. The
mine is only seven miles from the rail
road and if Mr. Wiuans' predictions
turn out to be correct in regard to quau
tity it will be but a matter of short time
till the mine Ima railroad connection
with the main line of the Union Pacific,
and employment will be furnished for
thousands of men. Parties in The
Ialles conversant with the facta are en
thusiastic over it and freely volunteer
financial aid .

U (.1iicmIi 'm IihIU ,
The morning dawned col! und threat
ening awl by 10 o'clock a good lain wu
on its way down from the clou. If.
Yesterday's saddle race w m conceded
ono of the prettiest ever seen at The
Dalles. The entries were Xolu G., Till,
Ctiance, Stranger and Maud. The
horses were one half an hour starting
and they little resembled the way saddlo
horses start off. They seemed rather
like professionals. Thev finally got
started and then a beautiful race fol
lowed. When the horses ctme into the
home stretch the cinch of Till save away
and tiie rider stayed, rode on and won
the race in that condition. The rider of
Nola (i. protested, claiming the extra
lead weight carried by Till had dropped
soon after the start but the judges de
cided in favorof Till, giving him first
place, Nola G. second and Chance third ;
time 55 seconds.
The pavilion present a different ap
pearance today from w hat it did yester
day. The exhibits are fast coming in
and all available room is spoken for.
There yet remains some undesirable
corner space which may be pressed in
use. Tiie fruit and vegetable exhibits
take up the two centre tables running
the full length of the building, while
the north wall is covered by fancy work,
paintings and crayons. The art display
is one worthy of a larger town than The
Dalles, while the fancy work could go
into competition anywhere and not
Buffer by comparison.
More tables had to be put into the
pavilion today and in this connection
Mr. S. B. Adams, chief marshal, stated
the displays are larger and more varied
than ever known in the history of the
fair.
Driving the rounds today the increased
fruit display was especially noticeable.
Big red apples and luscious grapes told
of Wasca county's wealth, while big
pumpkins, one weighing 113 pounds, at
tracted attention to the way vegetables
grow in Eastern Oregon. Marshall Hill
has seven varieties of grapes besides fine
exhibits of corn and sorghum. Mr. Me
Carnty and Robt. Cooper also have a
noticeable display of grapes and
sorghum. Some of the bunches are ex
ceedingly large and one of them will
fill a large sized platter. The grapes
were grown in Dry Hollow. Joe South
well's exhibit which was mentioned yes
terday has increased in size and today
have been added some large and fine
looking potatoes.
Mr. Statz of Dufur has some mon
strous cabbages on exhibition, as well as
other vegetables.
A very interesting exhibit is tiie bees
making honey. Bee culture in Wasco
county is yet in its infancy, but there is
money to be made by successful bee
raisers. The home-made butter and
bread displays, with that of preserved
fruits take up a large space and the
samples shown would indicate their
superior quality.
There is a very pretty display ol cut
flowers by Miss Snipes. One large dish
of pansies is particularly beautiful.
The art exhibit has grown much since
yesterday. Some handsome pictures
are on exhibition and there ia no ques
tion but some of them show talent.
Miss Louise Ruch has seven pictures
done in water colors, which with four
pictures iu oil by Miss Sula Ruch and
eight pieces in oil by Misa Nettie
Michell make a very handsome exhibit.
The pictures are hung near one another
and the effect is very good. Miss Eva
Heppner has eleven paintings and two
crayons in one collection, besides sev
eral pieces exhibited by themselves and
entered as single specimens. Mr.
Bancroft has a portrait display. The
pictures exhibited are likenesses of Ex
Ciov. Moody, Geo. C. Blakeley and J.
II. Sherer. Mies Flinn has three oil
paintings and one done in crayon, be
sides a beautiful piece of hand painted
satin. Miss Clara Davis has an ama
teur exhibit consisting of three pieces,
one of the Three Sisters, one of birds and
another a scene from still life. Those
who hud charge of hanging the pictures,
deserve credit for their work as each
picture is placed to good advantage.
The fancy work exhibit is too large for
single mention. It takes up over half of
one wall besides a large table crowded
full. Mrs. Dr. Shackelford has a splen
did display of silk embroidery, the
single articles possessing great merit.
Mrs. Gibons, whose display was spoken
of yesterday, has a large and beautiful
arrangement of silk embroidery. Mrs.
Dr. Eshelmaa has a very nice exhibit in
fancy work, besides Bcenes from still life
done in charcoal and still life in oil and
one picture from natural history. Miss
1011a Cooper has five pieces of charcoal
work neatly done. A very full display
of fancy work in aprons, pillow ehams,
etc., is entered by Mrs. F. A. Seufert.
Misa Virginia Marden has an exquisite
point lace handkerchief. This specimen
ia one of the prettiest in the pavilion.
Mra. J. M. Marden haa a fine display of
cut flowers and a handaome collection of
pressed mosses. Mra. J. W. Lewis has a
pretty display of fancy drawn work.
Mrs. Myers haa on exhibit a crocheted
Afghan robe. A winter landscape by
Mrs. Heppner was being added to the
list as the reporter left.
No one who visits the fair should fail
to look well at the art and fancy work
exhibit, as we think it is safe to say that
not such a fine one has ever been seen
in The Dalles. Each piece deserves
enpecial attention.
A lingo number of livestock arrived
last eveiiii'tr ami this morning. Five
j h'.rKcs for the fair came up on the Reg
juhitorand many others from the snr
i rounding country.
j Robt. Kelley, of Kin'slcy, has some
lordly stallions on exhibition. One is
named Varney, is five years old, weighs
2000 pounds and ia of imported stock.
Montfort, 7 years old, weight 1800
In a splendid looking animal. The re
maining list includes Hindi, a graded
draught mare, 6 years old, w eight H(U)
pounds. George, graded stallion, 3 years
old, weight 1300 pounds, Katty K., non
standard yearling out of Rockford, jr.,
and is a half eister to Anita. Two regis
tered full blooded Devons, one a four-year-old
cow and the other a two-year
old bull. Mr. Kelley 'a exhibit should
be seen by all lovers of good horses.
Mr. Johns, of The Dalles, enters four
wild geese.
A fine exhibit of merino bucks is by
Hon. C. M. Cartwright of Hay creek.
Smith Bros, have a Canadian and
Clyde stallion, weight 1650.
Mr. Button, of Hood River, a mare
named Bell Rooney, and a colt and two
yearlings.
Ed M. Sharp, of The Dalles, has 13
head of Galloway and Angus cattle.
Other entries that come in too late for
this evening" issue will be mentioned
tomorrow. Nearly all the stalls are
occupied and most of the sheds.
LADIES' DAY.
Exhibit Htlll ArriveThe Attendance
Today Wa Quite Large.
Thursday' Daily
The races yesterday afternoon were
not over in time for Thk Chronicle to
print the result. Three heats were run
and four horsea contested. Rockland
Boy was the favorite in the pools, selling
first choice every time. He was prin
cipally backed by his owner. There
was little second choice and the field in
cluded Siretta, Champagne and Little
Joe. Rockland Boy took the first heat
easily, Siretta second, Champagne and
Little Joe following. For the second
heat the odds given before continued the
same. This heat Champagne won, Rock
land Boy second. The third and decid
ing heat was run by only Rockland Boy
and Champagne astheothera were inelig
ible, not having won a heat. There was
little betting on the heat and there was
evident dissatisfaction among the crowd
in the way it was run. Rockland Boy
took a big lead from the start, and held
it to the finish, winning in 38 seconds.
The race today will be the gentleman's
roadster and great interest is manifested
in the result. Malcolm Moody enters
Pet, J.S. Schenck enters Pearl Knox,
J. P. Mclnerny enters John Day, Robt.
Mays, jr., enters Bonner and John
Rhodes John L. The purse offered is $50
and each gentleman named will drive his
own horse. The "financial stringency"
has eased sufficiently that two of our
bankers can take a day off and seek
trophies on the race track.
Today is Ladies Day and the fair sex
ie expected to attend in large numbers.
The Dalles band was on the grounds
yesterday and the music rendered was
very fine. T'."i boys play exceedingly
well and praise for their work was pro
lific. The pavilion was attended by a
larger crowd yesterday than the day be
fore and everyone seemed pleased with
the exhibits.
Exhibits still arrive for the pavilion.
We venture the statement that no city
in Oregon outside of Portland could
make as fine a display of native skill as
The Dalles has done in this instance.
The hand fancy work, oil and
water color painting and crayons will
bear rivalry anywhere and it is due to
the exhibitors that a large crowd view
their displays. Misa Bese Lang has
made a pretty display of china painting.
The work is exquisite. Mins Mabel
Mack haa some lovely hand embroidered
doyleys and table scarfs. Some crazy
quilts and worsted patch work by Mrs.
S. B. Adams are a new exhibit and take
up the space of the northwest corner of
the pavilion.
Among the new displays that have ar
rived today isone of cut flow ers arranged
in large boquets by Mrs. Chas. Stubling.
All varieties are represented besides dif
ferent kinds of plants and palms.
Joe Southwell keeps adding to his ex
hibit, which is already the largest in the
pavilion. His addition today is differ
ent varieties of dried fruit.
Mr. Jenkins of The Dalles corset
factory haa a case full of corsets made in
The Dalles. The workmanship is good
and Mr. Jenkins' trade is fast reaching
to distant points.
Geo. Snipes has a limb of a pear tree,
S'i feet long which haa hanging to it 42
large well formed pears.
Another exhibit was a branch of
Hungarian prunes and egg plums from
this year's growth and which were only
in blossom when the other plums were
ripe. Geo. Snipes haa a fine Jersey
thoroughbred bull in the stock exhibit,
also 3 graded calves and 3 mules.
NOTES.
Mr. Frank Sharp has his "Tillamook
goat" on exhibition.
The judges yesterday were Hons. F.
P. Mays, A. H. McAllister and C. M.
Cartwright.
W. H. Butte is the auctioneer of the
pools and his frequent admonitions foJ
everyone to get in anil pick the winning
horse are hearty enough to nearly drown
the band.
The C'iikomi i.k reporter made an
error in cr.-ilitiii the very large display
of Mr. Southwell. It should have been
l.en Southwell instead of Joe. We
hasten to correct the error.
The lietting yesterday was of a curi
ous ordui. One man won all the money
and be had to give odds of 3 to 1 to do
it. Most every one took tho field
against Rockland Boy and their money
was "gone like a wind that blew a
thousand years ago."
On some accounts it ia a pity that the
names of the exhibitors couldn't be at
tached to their exhibits. Of course this
can't be done till the awards are an
nounced, but those who look at the dif
ferent displays like to know the names
of those who make them.
The accustomed accompaniments of a
county fair are with us this time. The
chance to throw at "de nigger babies" is
freely offered at five centa a throw and
the cane ringing game ia along aide of
it. The merry-go-round, which is a
very elaborate affair, is not upon the
grounds, but is situated down in town.
NEARINQ THE CLOSE.
Teaterday Race, the Driver and
Their Coaturae--Not. Etc.
Ladies' day at the fair was the most
successful of the week. The grand
stand was crowded with the feminine
beauty of the town, who enthusiastic
ally watched the performance of the
horses. The band, stationed in the
grand stand, played during the inter
mission between the races and the au
dience was treated to music of excep
tional excellence. The boya were ap
plauded repeatedly and they certainly
deserve approbation.
The pavilion was crowded with sight
seers, and their surprise and pleasure at
the magnitude of the exhibits waa genu
ine. All the stores were closed from 2
till 5 in the afternoon and the clerks
were out for a holiday. The farmers,
also, attended in large numbers and al
together the day can be called a great
success.
The races were very good and free
from objectionable features. In the 4
mile and repeat Rockland Boy won the
firBt heat, with Siretta a very close
second. At the turn into the borne
Btretch Siretta waa ahead, but Rockland
Boy passed her and won by a neck ;
Champagne third and Little Joe fourth.
The second beat waa a grand race. The
horses got a bad start, but three of tbem
were up as they came into the home
stretch and passed nnder the wire with
nosea ao even that it was impossible for
the crowd to agree on the winner. The
judges, however, by a majority vote
gave it to Little Joe, Rockland Boy
second and Champagne third; time 52
seconds. The last heat was run by
Rockland Boy and Little Joe. Rock
land Boy won ; time 53 seconds.
The gentlemen's roadster race was
the event of the day. Everybody was
full of interest and hailed each driver
and horse with expressions of recogni
tion and approval. The race reminded
one of Ben Hur'a chariot race. The
costumes of the jockeys were striking.
Mr. John S. Schenck first appeared in
the ring driving his pretty pacer, Pearl
Knox. Mr. Schenck was attired in a
dark brown suit, with, overcoat tightly
buttoned around his neck. He was fol
lowed by M. A. Moody, dressed in a
black coat and vest, light pants, a derby
hat and a pair of tan shoes. Mr. Mc
lnerny wore plain black, with a
white hat, and drove his fast horse,
John Day. Robt. Mays, jr., drove
Bonner and was dressed in a dark blue
suit, light jockey cap and a cigarette.
It was hard to say just how John Rhodes
was dressed on account of the swiftness
of his fiery steed but he was there all
the same. After considerable jockeying
done in a professional manner the horses
got off. Mr. Mays, however, was a little
lute in starting, winch made the race un
equal for him. Mr. Sehenck's mare took
the lead and moved over the ground
swiftly and gracefully. Hie doubtless
would have won the race had not John
Rhodes come along galloping his horse
as though chasing cattle. Pearl Knox
broke, allowing Mr. Mclnerny to win the
heat. It was true that John Rhodes
came out firt, but as his horse ran under
the wire the judges ruled him out. The
order of winning was: J. P. Mclnerny,
John Day, 1st; M. A. Moody, Pet, 2nd;
J. S. Schenck, Pearl Knox, 3rd; Robt.
Mays, jr., Bonner, 4th and John Rhodes,
John L., last; time, 1:31.
The second heat was won by John
Day, Pearl Knox 2nd, Pet 3rd and John
L. 4th.
In the last heat the first three only
started. Mr. Rhodes was tired of racing.
This time the judges got rattled and part
said go! while the rest said stop. The
result waa that Messrs. Mclnerny and
Schenck got away while Mr. Moody,
who had heard them Bay not to go, re
mained. How the judges blundered it
is hard to say. Mr. Moody didn't pro
test, so the heat was given to Mr. Mc
lnerny and carried with it the race;
time 1:31. And to ended the great
roadster race.
The judges are busy, in the pavilion
this morning making awards to the ex
hibitors. It is no easy work, and calls
for good judgment and a mind that is
proof against criticism, for in competi-
, tion some one is sure tobe riisaprminted.
There are a great number of displays
and in nearly every class there is muru
.than one exhibitor. Some t,f the pro
! miiims are already aw arded, and by thii
I evening blue riblwns will dot the whole
pavilion. The time for closing the en
tries w as 11 o'clock yesterday morning,
so there are no new exhibits today.
Tub Chkonic-i.e has the best interest of
the fair at heart and has endeavored to
mention the principal displays. If any
have been overlooked it has not been in
tentionally. One thing of interest noticed today
was a deed drawn 120 years ago by Capt.
Noah Griswold, the great great grand
father of Mr. S. B. Adams, and a mem
ber of the famous Boston tea party.
The deed conveys 50 acrea of land in
Windsor, Hartfori county, Conn., nnd
ia in good preservation.
NOTES.
The parade of fat stock will take place
tomorrow forenoon. It will lie well
worth seeing.
The baseball diamond at the grounds
waa occupied by a crowd of young fel
lows playing a game for practice.
In one of the trotting beats yesterday
there was disappointment that Pearl
Knox did not win that heat, as she
trotted squarely and waa far in the lead
till a few yards from the wire, when she
broke, allowing John Day to win.
Today was children's day, and the
little onea were out in full force enjoy
ing their holiday and wishing it were a
week instead of a day.
Lowell's famous line "What's so rare
as a day in June" should be applied to
October in this climate. Today haa
been the most delightful in all the, year.
The sun is shining clear and the frost
this morning purified the air and left it
crisp and cool. An ideal day for the
fair it ia surely.
There will be a big tug of war contest
tomorrow between two bulls. Ed. F.
Sharp has entered Oregon King and E.
L. Boynton enters Pound Champion.
Neither bulls have horns, so there is
nothing objectionable even if they get
close together. The contest will take
place immediately after the stock pa
rade, and promises lots of fun.
We feel like again adding a word of
praise for the band boys. The music
they play is of a high grade and the
manner in which it is done cannot be
excelled by any ameteur band in tho
state. While we are always glad to
welcome strangers and especially former
residents still we think it would have
been better policy to have recruited the
band from our own musicians. There ia
plenty of material here for a band com
posed entirely of Dalles boys.
