(Livery Stable.) The Annual Fair. Lincoln County's Third Annual Fair a Thing of the Past. While the fair here this week may not have been a financial success it was nevertheless a greater success in the way it was intended than any previous exhibition. But for the rains during the first two days of the fair it would have undoubtedly been a financial success as well. Never before in the county's history has such a magnificient dis play of superior vegetables, grains and grasses, live stock and poultry, and dometic science and arts and school exhibits been displayed. It means that the citizens of Lincoln county are waking up to the benefits to be gained by the annual exhibi tion. The many thousnds of visitors this week have been agreeably sur prised at the amount and superior quality of the varied exhibits. Stock, some of the very best in the world, has been shown the barns were full of blooded animals. In the vegetable and other farm exhib-. its well, they just simply cannot be beaten any place. While the fair was shy on attrac tions owing to the amusement com panies being at the Centenial at Astoria, the crowds were enter tained by good horse racing, steer wrestling contests, baseball and other field sports. The wrestling match between Messrs. McBride of Eddyville and Updike of Elk City was a fine exhibition, showing skill, strength and perseverance. These gentlemen gave an excellent exhi bition. In the horse races each afternoon were good attractions. Many good horses and races were run. The iree ior an race luesday was won by Waceka owned by Frank Mcln- tyre, and the pony race was won by Ralph Henry's little Happy. The second day's free for all race was won by Waceka, and Happy again carried off the pony race. Yester day's free for all race was won by Maggie Thomas, owned by Mr. Cor- dell, and Pinto, owned by Mr Harris won the pony race. The horses entered for today's races are Maggie Thomas, Waceka, and Blue Diamond, the latter owned by Mr. Brown. The last race this evening will be a slow race. ' The throwing of a big four year old steer by Frank Mclntyre was an interesting and exciting exhibition. Mr. Mclntyre leaps from his horse to the steer and with nothing but his hands throws the steer and holds him down. This feat was a good one. This aftenoon Mr. Mclntyre will do the same trick with the steer, but instead of using his hands he will use his teeth, while his hands will be tied behind him. Yesterday was the biggest day in attendance, the rains of the two preceeding days settling the dust and cooling the air. Large dele gation from Newport and other points on the lower bay were here, Siletz turned out by dozens of team loads, and the whole upper eastern end of the county was well repre sented. Waldport sent up the sband and a large delegation of res idents of that part of the county accompanied them. It seemed that everybody was here yesterday. Governor West, was of course , the attraction yesterday. Everybody was anxious to see and hear tur Governor. He arrived on the nocn train from Salem andjspoVe at the fair grounds immediately alter din ner. He then departed for the state capitol on the two o'clock train. Congressman Hawley spoke Wed nesday morning, and departed in the afternoon for Dallas, where he delivered a speech yesterday. Dr. Olmsted, Lincoln county's gifted orator, of Waldport, arrived ast evening and will speak this afternoon. Among the large exhibitors are G. Wesley, owner of the herd of full blood Galloway cattle these elegant blacks. Mr. Wesley will go from here to the statejfair at Salem, then to Spokane, Boise, and many other fairs. ' He will return home jn about two months. Mr. Wesley's exhibit is worth many thousand dollars. S. T. Loudon and John Veit of Eddyville, I. J. Pepin, and many, many others, too numerous to men tion in this short sketch, are show ing cattle, sheep and goats that cannot be excelled anywhere. D. J. Derby has a most complete and extensive exhibition of vege tables and fruits, many varieties even many of the old residents of the county never dreamed of being raised here. Mr. Derby's exhibit is good and it has taken much hard work and expense to prepare it. Mr. Derby's exhibit is not the only good and large exhibit by any means. Good exhibits are here from nearly every section of the county. Newport's exhibits are excellent. among the most noticable were many pieces 01 fancy work and works of art. An elegant display of native agates is displayed by A. L. Thomas, the pioneer lapidist of the county. Dr. Berry has a curio ex hibit worth thousands of dollars. There are many other exhibits we would like to mention but time and space forbids. Eddyville did herself proud in her farm and stock exhibits of every description,. Her citizens have brought many exhibits and they are all . good. Waldport sent many exhibits, notably of which was a sixty pound salmon exhibited by David Gay. Dave Williams, John Rattey and many others have some mighty good horses on exhibit. The school displays are most excel lent and shows lots of hard work by the little folks in nearly all the schools in the county in the prep aration of same. Their work is fcooa and creates comment from nearly every visitor. The Indian Day school of Upper Farm has an especially good exhibit. This school is instructed bv Prof. R. Reginald DePoe. Mr. DePoe is a full blooded Indian, and is considered one of the best educated Indian in the United States. His work ' is shown by this exhibit of his Indian pupils. Taken as a whole this fair lines up well with any preceding fair and shows that fairs are a success here. They are creating the desired competition among our Ranchers and stockmen, and all others who are striving to produce just a little bet ter than their neighbors. The an nual event gives the people a chance to meet their neighbors, to visit, to renew acquaintances, to compare notes, to learn what each other is da ing, and to haveTan all-round gjod time. There has been mistakes made in managing the fair of cour. but they will be used to help make the next fair a better success. As usual the work of many was nut on to a few with the result that those who did the work had tm much to do. These mktnkne .:n w,U Will b? corrected and our annual fair will grow better and their managers will eech year learn more and mnm and be better able to manage them. Despite these few little mistakes the various committees have done wall and are entitled to much ere Jit. FOR RENT AT NEWPORT. several lurnished and nrf.
