In the pa vilion the display was being added to so extensively that our reporter deferred making special mention until later on. The ladies have made a very creditable display of fancy work, the floral corner was well filled with beautiful plants, the fruit tables loaded with choice speci mens, and Mr. Curtis was out in full with a display of Diamond mill products, while Mr. Booth was preparing to paint another booth red.. ' In the stock pens and stables were to be seen many fine animals, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, andon the side poul try, etc., which will be considerably in creased today. . Of vegetables the list will be larger than many supposed, but one pumpkin weighing 117 pounds which was to have been exhibited by Hon. Robert . Mays, will be shown in fragments, as the Hon! Mayor was informed that his twin grand daughters had arrived at Mr. Thompson's residence just at tlie critical moment when he held the pumpkin on a poise, unloading it, and be was so sur prised arid taken back that he for the instant forgot what he was doing, and the pumpkin took a start and fell with a thud splitting it into fragments.. It is thought that there must have been some design on the part of the gentleman who thns "broke the news" to Mayor Maysi as it is said that C. W. Haight of Bake Oven bad a pumpkin he wished to enter, and he was afraid Mays would walk the first prize. The first race yesterday was a quarter dash, won by Mamie S, 1; Rockland, 2; nd Frank Hastings, 3. Time, :25. Next came a saddle boise-race, half- mile dash. Six horses entered; nurses were awarded the three fastest, in the order in which they came in : John S-, 1st; Hartland Boy, 2nd; Dandy, 3rd. Time,. :25i. Following this was one of Bill Nye's Jockey Jokes. To carry it out the man agement secured three two-year-old colts to trot the race, mile heats, best two in Jt three. After nersnasinn. Mr. Sninea auuweu ma iiaucj niiunij to enter, men Schooling put up Rooper's Bunch Grass, and Walker put Dandy in. It was a Dandy race. But Dandy was sent to the stable, as he didn't get in after; the first heat had been given to Nancy Hanks until the clock run down. Time, 4:39 (standard.) Pools, kept on selling with Dandy, in the race, however, and until the horses came on, at the expiration of the 10 minutes between acts, it wasn't known outside just where Dandy had gone. After the usual backing and filling one of the men in the judges' stand got mad ; that is according to Nye; and as the horses were passing under the wire he rapped the drivers up and notified Schooling that he must win that heat, or he would be fined f 10. Schooling won the heat. Time 4 :52. Four hours and fifty-two minutes?" . It was now late, and as oneof the genT tlemen in the judges stand had to go to Portland to see bow things were running at the Hotel' Perkins, the finish was postponed until today. The race was intensly interesting to half a dozen Indians who remained to see it, but to almost every , white man, woman and child, who didn't under stand that it was a burlesque, it was dis gusting. -.

The grand stand was empty and the society was cheerfully cussed for letting such ani mals enter for purses. But one man was found in the whole crowd to speak kindly of the contest, and that was Mr. Linus Hubbard who said the horses de served credit anyhow, for one thine they had beaten Maj.

The windows of The Chhoxicxe office today are decorated with '.engravings illustrative of the voyage of Columbus, 400 years ago. On October 11th there was rather a heavy sea on. A green branch floated past the Santa Maria, and on board the Pinta the men picked up a small carved stick, which seemed to have been ornamented by means of some metallic tool. " Here were signs both of land and of humanity, and the men grew elated. Tbe Pinta sailed the fastest, and was ahead of the admiral, and presently land was discri.eu from her deck, whereT upon, according to an understanding, her flag was hoisted and she fired a gun. At two in the morning of October. 12th land was plainly seen at about two leagues distance. The ships shortened sail and laid to, awaiting daylight, when it was seen that they were abreast of a small island and the marvelous under taking of Columbus was happily con cluded. ' - It may well have been that, as has been related, the crew of the admiral flung themselves naesionately at the feet of Columbus and implored his pardon for their doubts and repining.:' As for him self, it is certain that he was as modest in the moment of victory as he had been dauntless and confident through the long days when .all about him despaired. Then came the ceremony of landing upon the new-found . country. The island, covered thick with trees and tropical verdure, sloped down .to the coral reef and the beach along its edge, where were gathered, quickly s day light brightene d the scene, groups of natives entirely naked, who gazed in wonder and balf in fear, at the strange floating creatures with wings flapping white in the breeze that lay just outside the reef. Columbus found that the island was named, in the language of the natives, Guanabani. He named it San Salvador. His first impressions of the natives were strongly in their favor, and he never changed as o this. They were gentle, generous, faithful and obliging. Had succeeding adventurers treated them as did Columbus, they -would never have lost these characteristics. The contrary was the case, the Spaniards abusing their confidence and maltreating them, and they become suspicious, revengeful and bloodthirsty. Their island and those explored by Columbus at a later period seemed to him and his followers a veritable . paradise. .'. - . . , Thus the most' momentous occurrence since the Crusade, unless . it were the discovery of printing, took place, after a perfectly safe and exceedingly monoton ous voyage of six weeks, in the simplest and most unconventional fashion im aginable. To Castile and Leon, Colum bus had given a new world, and a hand ful of wondering savages were the only witnesses to the sublime act beside those who participated in it. Looking back upon this scene from perspective of four centuries, it seems increditable in its lack -ai ostentation and ceremonial. In deed Ah ere is something almost sublime in the tranquility ..which marked , this derful; adventure, ' whosej outcome a to be the changing of the entire ex- stence of all hnmanity. Two months spent amid favoring winds and sees, tbe flight of birds, the passing, by of ocean weeds, and then America. To no other such voyage was there ever vouchsafed such a conclusion.

His name has never been given to what he found, or led up to it. After all, it was only rediscovered and was, doubt less, thickly populated tens of thousands of years ago.. Vet it remains that tbe character and the acts of Christopher Columbus are without parallel in the history of the human race. It was Mr. Emerson who said "the first wealth is health," and it was a wiser than the' modern philosopher, who said that ''the blood is the life." The system, ,like the clock, runs down.- It needs winding up. The blood gets poor and ecores of diseases result. It needs a tonic to enrich it. '- ' .'...-' A certain wise doctor, after years of study, discovered a medicine which purified the blood, gave tone to the sys tem,' and made men tired, nervous, brain-wasting men feel like new. - He called it his "Golden Medical Discov ery.' :It has been 6old for years, sold by the million of bottles, and people found such satisfaction in it that Drt Pierce, who discovered it, now . feels warranted in selling it under a positive guarantee of its doing good in all cases.
