Frazier Lodge, I. OrG. T., on 3-Mile, will give, a basket sociable Saturday, Oct. 27th. The program will consist of an apron and pencil entertainment. The streets present quite a lively ap pearance today, caused by the unusu ally large number of people from the country, who have found-time to come in to the fair. The schools being closed today, the children are having a fine time. The fair management generously made the admission for the youn esters free, and the ' "spefiial rate" is being taken ad vantage of by all of them. Will Isenberg and Charley Wallace of Hood River, who have been working in Sherman county ever since the harvest ing began, arrived here this morning on their way. home. They report the threshing as about completed. Albert Leslie, the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Smith of Grass Valley, was killed Wednesday, the 3d inst, by being thrown from a wagon load of wood, the wheels passing over his head. The team of four horses was run ning away. ' ' ."' :- - It is quite certain that an attempt will be made to form a new county of por tions of Crook and Grant, with the county seat at Mitchell.; "A ;.new. county would prove convenient to the people who are now forced to travel a long dis tance to the county seat : but whether there is population or wealth enough in , the district -to -maintain a county gov- ernment, we are unable to say.

Mclnerny's fine horse Rockland Boy had its leg broken yesterday in the second heat of the 4 mile and i repeat. An accident like this always causes a shudder .of sympathy from the wit nesses, and there was genuine sorrow in the crowd when the noble horse pain fully limped across, bis foot dangling loosely from a broken joint. The damage was done on the tarn into the ' home stretch, but just how it occurred is a mystery. Some think the horse s hoof struck a small stone and turned, but an examination of tbe track found no stones that would cause such an occurence. The jockey's explanation was that the foot was twisted by being placed too much at an angle in turning. Rockland Boy was far in the lead as the horse swung into tbe last stretch and everyone thought it was his race. As it was the animal showed fine grit in running a quarter of a mile in such a damaged condition. As soon as possible be was taken to the stable and an examination made by Dr. Long, the owner of Mon tana and a veterinary surgeon of merit, pronounced the break to be between the ankle and the hoof and believed that it could be set. With the help of some of the attendants he quickly brought the horse into position and placed the leg in bandages., The horse never flinched during the operation and this morning seems free from pain. Rockland Boy was owned "by J. P. Mclnerny, of this city, and was a great favorite on the cir cuit, especially at The Dalles. He was nine years old and had won many races. If he hadn't been hurt yesterday he would, probably have added one more to the number, bat he will never again pass nnder the wire in a contest. In the same heat, Chester G belonging to S. E, Ferris, also received a strain inlthe front foot, which will put him in the horse hospital for some time. His injury is not believed to be very serious and Mr, Ferris thinks he will recover and be in good condition. Siretta won the 1st heat, Cheater G 2nd, Rockland Boy 3rd; Little Joe 4th, time 52 seconds. In the second heat Siretta again was the winner; Little Joe 2nd; Chester G 3rd; Rockland Bov 4th. Time, 52 seconds. Purse $175.00, The saddle race was for horses owned - in this county and limited to -amaieurs" only. :xne -purse was $50 and the entries . were T. J, Driver's horse Morgan; Red Weasel,; owned by J. P. Boen of Wapinitia and Nola G, belonging to S. E. Ferris of Tbe Dalles. The horses went off on a good start and swung into, the homestretch nearlv even. Then Horean went anead and seemed io bave the race, when sud denly Kola . G forged ahead,' Morgan second and Red Weasel third ; time, 55 The grounds ; this morning presented an animated appearance. Owners of stock were currying and brushing their animals preparatory to the decision of the judges. The trainers were out walk ing their race horses up and down for exercise." Some of the horses were being sped on the track by the jockeys and everything looked as though the biggest largest in the fair's history. Among tbe exhibits whioh caught the reporter's eye were some fine looking Merino sheep, exhibited, by A. R. Thompson, Esq. He has in tbe pens 20 Merino yearlings and five grade Merinos, which make an interesting exhibit which will well re pay a visit. He has also a Jersey cow entered. Hon. Rob t. Mays has entered a 3- year-old Short Horn bull, called Gold Dollar, gentle as a kitten, and altogether a splendid animal. , 'He also has a 2-year-old heifer and calf on exhibition. County Surveyor Sharp has a large list of Galloway cattle And one of An gus stock. He says these cattle have been allowed to run wild and no partic ular attention has been paid them, but they have the appearance of good stock. P. T. Sharp enters two cattle, one of Angus and the other of Galloway breed. W. A. Sharp enters one cow and calf, Short Horn grade. W. J. Davidson has a mare and colt, besides some pigs, on exhibition. J. B. Morton has a good looking pony in one of the stalls. The stock of Robt. Kelly has already been mentioned. His imported stallions cannot be beaten for good looks, and at tract many visitors. Mr. R. Guthrie of Sherman county shows a large bull, whose closer ac quaintance we were unable to form. Thos. Glavey of Dufur exhibits a fine large Clydesdale stallion and five mares and colts. Geo. Snipes has for exhibition some 2 year old black mules which, for males, are good animals. S. E. Ferris has on the grounds a thoroughbred stallion, Larry O'Gaff. He also has a string of race horses Chester G, Nola G and Blue Jay, all of which have been very successful in tak ing parses. . . There are some fast horses this year whose records are away down. The class of contestants was never better nor the races freer from taint of jobbery. It is confidently expected the running record will be lowered today and possibly the trotting record. THE PAVILION LAST NIGHT. The attendance last evening at the- pavilion was very large. Not many new exhibits came in, as the entries were already full. The crowd seemed well pleased with the displays and many com plimentary remarks, were heard along the line. The music of the orchestra, nnder the leadership of Prof. Birgfeld, is proving a great attraction and is respon sible in a large measure, for the large attendance. - Any time that this or chestra will give a public concert they may be sure of a large attendance and hearty appreciation. The music last evening was delightful and the orchestra was compelled to - respond to several en cores. The programme for this evening is as follows : -' ! ' '-J MUSICAL, PROGBAJI.. t X: , March "Liberty Bell." ; 2. Overture "Diadems." . ' 3. Selection "Night Off." " "' . 4.' "Hungarian Dance," No. 2. "v 5. Selection "Plantation Medley.;? INTERMISSION. 6. Overture Fest. 7. Bolero. ', ' 8. "Life on the Mississippi" (de scriptive piece.) 9. Polka "Distant Bells." 10. "Picadore." be extremely hard to decide between many of the competitors. -- FAIR NOTES. The judges yesterday were Hon. Robt, Mays, A. S. Macallister and W. N. Wi ley. , M. A. Moody acted as time keeper, Our fellow-townsman, Mr. Max Vogt, deserves great credit for his venture in hop-growing, which has already been mentioned in Tbb Chronicle. Mr Vogt imported the seed plants to see if this country could be made to produce hops, and his venture has shown con clusively that, such is the case. In di versified farming is Wasco county's great hope. - The entire orchestra, under the lead ership of Prof. Birgiield, will furnish tbe music for the grand ball Saturday evening. An elaborate program has been prepared. The usual Siturdav dance at . the armory has been post ponedand all its regular attendants are invited to attend, the ball at the pavilion An interesting saddle is on exhibition in one corner of the pavilion. It is the property of Mrs. F..P. Mays, and a tag on the saddle shows it to have taken the first premium at the Ohio state fair in 1852. . The saddle was made before the time of machine sewing, and is done entirely by hand. The roadster race tomorrow promises to furnish great sport, and every one had better be on hand to see what sort of jockeys some of bur business men make. The biggest dance ever given . in The Dalles is going to be given Saturday night at the pavilion. Every one who wants to be in the switn should be sure and attend. AdTrtled Letters.
