Bidding at the First Public Market Day Sole to Be Held In La Grande Proved to Be Brisk Many Assem ble at Klrt ley's Livery Stable to Bid on targe Variety of Goods on Sale Event Very Satisfactory to Promot ers. Alternately wiping the perspiration from his brow and crying out the na ture and value of his wares. Auction eer Martin Larsen this afternoon dis posed of many fine articles for those who wish to sell at public auction. Clustered around him, enjoying the sunshine, were many farmers who clinked gold coins Involuntarily as they shot the bids up, one over the other. The first market day sale has been a satisfactory one. The auctioneer coiynenced wltha plow and before he was through horses, surreys, vehicles of every description, In fact, and even spinning wheels, have been placed on the block and knocked down to the highest bidder. Women Intermingled with the crowd freely. They apparently enjoyed the Been'! of witnessing men trying to down the other In manner and vol ume of bidding to secure a certain piece of goods, horse or Implement suitable for fArm use. The sales were held in front of the Klrtley livery stables. Opening the Fulr Grounds. The formal opening of the L'nlon fair grounds last Saturday and Sun day was an event Of some local Im portance and brought quite a number of visitors to our city. Saturday afternoon the business houses were closed from 1:30 to 8 o'clock, that all might go to the grounds. The Union band was pres ent and- discoursed sweet .music for the occasion. The exhibition of speed advertised was confined to a few spurts by local horses, creditable In a way, but not up to the public expecta tion because some races were antlcl pated In which outside horses were to take part. The new grandstand is so situated that It Is of little value to those who wish to watch the ball game, but It is all right for the race track. . By the time another exhibition Is given. It is thought that some of the shortcomings of opening days will be remedied-and the public will be bet ter satisfied. The management of the fair grounds deserves credit for the work done thus far In fixing up the grounds, erecting buildings, etc., and It Is to be hoped will be able to so conduct the affairs at the grounds that each successive meeting will be better than the last Union Republican. CANDIDATES WITH CAKE. Candidates and Leading Republican of tlie County Will Join rarty.
