But it required the ever-Inspiring presence of the band to start things going right. Promptly at 1 o'clock the concourse began to assemble on Adams avenue, and before the last echo of the concluding number from the band had died away, Max Zimmer man was on his dray, serving as an auctioneer's table, and the sale of horses and stock began. It was not fault of the farmers if the sales did not total what had been anticipated, and It was no fault of the manage ment. While there was a fairly satis factory sale of horse flesn, It was not as lively as It should have been by reason of the stock In the city ready for sale. The buyers were reticent for torn reaaon or other. The crowd was fully as large as had been anticipated. About the bellow ing voice that extolled the virtues ot each horse or team that was brought up for sale, were hundreds of cran ing necks. Out at the outskirts the crowd was well sprinkled with ladies who watched the proceedings with In terest.

The day has served as a big holiday for farmers to get together, to talk over prospects for next year's crops, to dabble with finances in the way of buying horses, and in various other ways improving the opportunities of the day. The event has been thoroughly ad vertised and the results are what they should be warranted success. La Grande has profited by the venture. Several Individual Sales. Horses were sold by Auctioneer Zimmerman at prices ranging about $125. Several sales were negotiated this way. But It Is Impossible to state the ex act number of transactions made in the city today, as many purchases were made privately, the owners preferring to sell that way. These deals were generally between local parties. For eign buyers stayed In close proximity to the auctioneer's gavel. The sales opened at 1 o'clock and continued until well along In the af ternoon. At 8 o'clock the crowds had diminished but little, there being a noticeable exit from the city, however. T MTmn.v FEBRCARV i. IMS, B THF a a m SOCIETY. Mrs. Harry Myers entertained the S. 8.
