I 1 ;
The third day was more windy than
the previous one but the attendance was
fully as large. The stock exhibit in the
southwest corner is attracting a great
deal of attention, and between the races
the animals are visited by large numbers
of people. We had promised to give a
more extended mention .today ' of the
different stock exhibits, but the press of
matter has compelled it to wait till to
morrow along with the resume of today's
races. ' A large aitendance is looked for
Friday and The Chronicle hopes to see
the grand stand full of spectators.
yesterday's races. . .
The races yesterday were fully as in
teresting as those of the day previous.
The trotting race proved a drawing card
and was witnessed by a larger crowd.
The horses were of a hieh'class and
many expected the trotting record for
this track to be beaten. The second
heat on the mile and repeat was won
by Tampa; Jiiri Crow second, Blue Jay
third and Rockland Boy fourth ; time,
37J seconds.' As both Blue Jay and
Tampa had won a heat, another one was
necessary to decide the race. The horses
were evenly matched and the race was a
hot one from start to finish. Tampa
won; time, 383. '
The pony race excited much interest
especially among the youngsters on' the
ground. There were three entries Pet,
Tommy and Celilo. The horse carrying
the lightest weight won after a close
race. Pet first, Celilo second and Tommy
third.
The mile trot, best three in five, was
the event of the day and held the. crowd
till nearly dark. Montana, Hamrock
and Carle Came were the entries and
they are all speeders with fast records.
Carle Carne was the favorite in the
mutuals and took the lead and held it to
the finish, although hard pressed at
different times by 'both Hamrock and
Montana. Montana is a fast horse.
probably the 'fastest of the three, but
not having on' the proper harness broke
badly and lost the race. Carle Carne
won three heats, Hamrock second and
rMontana third ; time 2.40, 2.38, 2.36.
AT THE PAVILION. .
The attendance, was good at the pa
vilion last evening, ana much praise
was heard on all sides for the beauty of
the exhibit. Much space that was va
cant has been filled, and the whole dis
play, can now be called complete. We
are sorry more of our- merchants have
not taken room and made displays.
Only three or four of. our stores are rep
resented, and there should be a much
greater' number. This annual fair has
become a great thing in the'' life of The
Dalles, and could be made of much more
vital interest and profit if our people
generally would take a heartie interest

liked ' to have seen them do. : Mr.
Scbanno, who is an authority on such
matters, eays the fruit and vegetable
exhibit should be much larger. Our
citizens are glad to look at the different
products from the farms, and the farm
ers can be sure their efforts will receive
a hearty appreciation.
The music last evening was up to the
high standard we have come to expect
of it. Each piece was heartily received,
amid many expressions of praise. The
program did not contain quite as many
popular melodies as the one of the pre
vious evening, but they were all ren
dered in splendid style. Following is
this evening's program : ' '

- NEW EXHIBITS.
Among the new exhibits we noticed
was a pan of ripe strawberries from the
garden of J. H. ' Stadleman. They
looked as rosy and luscious as though it'
were springtime. . ; .
Mrs. John Filloon shows some beauti
ful oil painting, which attract much at
tention. One in particular, entiled
"Hard Times," is a picture of much ex
pression and feeling, and is readily
classed as one of the very bc-st in the
hall. . '
Mrs. G. C. Blakeley has some very
pretty specimens of embroidery work
and painting on silk.
A piece of embroidery by Lena Nyhus,
a 14-year-old girl, shows much skill for
one so young.
Miss Alice Hall, in charge of the Kin
dergarten, has an exceedingly choice ex
hibit of Honiton point lace work.
Some plain hand sewing by Mrs. T.
S. Lang is very interesting, as it shows
something different from the lace work,
which seems to predominate.
There is a tobacco exhibit by Ben
Southwell, which ' shows how well the
"weed" would grow in this climate.
Mr. Southwell is one of the most effi
cient aides in the success of the fair.
Marshal Hill, Robt. Cooper and Dave
Creighton have each exhibits of water
melons, muskmelons and vegetables.
Frank Kramer has some Egyptian
rye, which is. plump and undoubtedly a
fine variety.
An exhibit of hops by Max Vogt
proves how well they would grow in this
vicinity.' ' They were grown on Mr.
Vogt's farm, some, fifteen miles from
town. , ' ".''".- '
s Mrs. J. C. Wood has a fine array ot
canned fruits, jellies and vegetables.
Mrs. Snipes, Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Niel
sen, Miss Southwell, Mrs. Wood, "Mrs.
Wycke and Mrs-. P. Morgan have all
samples of bread. Some have also cakes
entered, which look tempting enough.

. Train Wreck Above Senferts.
No. 1, the west bound passenger, met
with an accident four miles east of here
this morning, which resulted in a small
sized wreck. The train was coming at
its usual rate when suddenly the engine
and baggage car left the, track and went
in the ditch. 1 The trouble resulted from
the rails spreading'.' Engineer Morgan
was Blightly cut on the head and back,
Fireman Crofton had one of his ribs
broken and a. tramp, who was riding on
the blind baggage, suffered a broken arm
and dislocated shoulder. The passengers
were transferred to a train that was
made op here and after breakfast left for
Portland. It will only take a few hours
to repair the damage done to the track.
Drs. Logan and Doane were called to I
attend the injured men. ' '
