he biggest day of the fair was yester
day. Upwards of 1500 people attended,
about half of whom were ladies'! The
stores of the city closed generally at 2
o'clock, allowing all who wished to at
tend. The band discoursed sweet music
to the edification of the large number of
people assembled.
The attendance at the pavilion last
evening was the largest since the fair
opened. . The attractions of the beauti
ful exhibits are augmented by the ex
cellent musio of the band. Their new
music is beautiful. ' Visitors who are
competent judges, say the band Is sec
ond to none in the state.
On entering the pavilion many visit
ors have been struck with the beautiful
appearance which the stage presents.
Set with the wood scene, and the front
decorated with palms, potted plants and
cut flowers, displayed by Mrs. Stubling
and Bon it was the most attractive part
of the building. . " ,
L. Mitchell, deputy supreme commander
of the Knights of the Maccabees. The
lecture was in the interest of fraternal
and (beneficiary orders in general and
the Knights of the Maccabees in particu
lar. The line of argument was to show
the benefits of these societies over old
line companies. The past great objec
tion has been that one must die to win,
but now the Maccabees have policies
which mature at a stated time and will
be paid to the policy-holder while liv
ing. Incase of disability, payment ot
premiums are' stopped and the policy
holder draws annually an amount equal
to one-tenth of the policy.
Local talent in song, declamation and
instrumental music' contributed to a
very pleasant eyening. We note es
pecially the recitation given with much
dramatic ability by Mr. Walter Reavis,
a beautiful solo by Miss Myrtle Michel,
and a mandolin duet by the Stone
sisters. -. I

by an audience to hear the lecture of J.
At the meeting of the Commercial
Ciub last evening to consider the cele
bration of the openiDg of the locke, the
members were well represented and en
tered into the matter with much spirit.
There is no doubt the demonstration
will be the greatest ever in The Dalles
or, in Oregon.
Upon motion the president was au
thorized to appoint a special committee
for arrangement, reception and celebra
tion of the opening, and to fix the date
as early as possible.
The following additional committees
were appointed :
Program and invitation.
Finance. "i
Transportation.
Reception and entertainment.
These committees are to commence
their active labors at once. No pains
nor expense is to be spared to make a
grand celebration. None of the details
have as yet been considered in commit
tee, but those who are best informed
bint at something quite out of ordinary.
One of these committeemen, who has
taken as much interest in the matter as
any other one citizen, and one who has
given great study and attention to the
improvement as it has progressed, said
to a reporter that there will positively
be no disappointment this time; the
locks will as surely be open on or before
Nov. 15th as that day comes. r

YESTERDAY'S RACES.
Yesterday was a gala day at the fair
grounds. The closing ot the business
houses at 2 "o'clock brought ont over a
thousand people to witness the day's
sports. It was a day of sport, in every
sense ot the word, and the fair associa
tion is to be congratulated on banging
op such a good program and bring the
events off so promptly. There was no
unnecessary delay between races and
the horses came to the poet when called.
The ladies were out in all their glory
and they were able to appreciate a close
finish as well as an old sport.
The first race on the card was a gen
tlemen's roadster for trotters, mile
beats, best two in three, for a purse of
$100. Matthews entered Barney, W. H.
Hobson, May Boy; Wm. Rand,. Dick
Trumbell; L. W. Washburn, Kisbar.
Alogauna was entered by F. H. Button,
but was scratched on account of lame
ness. After a couple of false starts the
horses were tapped off to good start,
with Dlik Trumbell slightly in the lead.
Going around the first turn a procession
was formed. On the back stretch. Kis
bar moved upon Dick Trumbell. When
the hill was reached Barney was in the
lead. Goipg past the grand stand the
horses were still on dress parade,
Barney leading, Kisbar second, Dick
Trumbell third and May Boy fourth.
These positions well held till the finish,
but Barney was pot back to third place
on account of running. The next two
heats went to Dick Trumbell, who was
hard pressed by Kisbar, but the son of
Altamonc was too much for the little
Goldendale animal. The following is a
summary of the race :
Dick Trumbell... '.1........2 1 1
Kisbar ., 1 2 3
May Bov 4 3 2
Barney 3 4 4
Time, first heat,2.55; second, 2.55;
third, 2.55k Dick Trumbell was given
first money, KisBar, second, and May
Boy third.
A matched pacing race between Geo.
F. McKinney'8 Nellie Whipple and J.
M. Murchie's Solo was then called out.
When the word go was given Solo took
the lead and was never headed. Time,
3.06. Mntuala paid, $2.60. In the next
beat the talent placed their all on Nellie
Whipple, but as .no one was willing to
risk a ticket on Solo the bets were de
clared off. Solo again had a walk over
and won hands down, Nellie Whipple
having broken her check tein.
The running five-eighths mile dash
tor norses mat naa not run one two
three was called with .the following good
ones: Tom Tongne, Picnic, Black
Prince, Blue Jay and Tom LaMar. Gil-
more sent them away to a good start
and Black Prince immediately, took the
lead and held it till the stretch was
reached, when Tom Tongue and Tom
LaMar moved up, and the two Toma
ran neck and neck to the dace where
Glen Dudley's eon forged ahead and
won the race in 1.05, Black Prince
finishing third. Mntuals, $5.60. -The
riders of the silent steeds were
next called forth for the half-mile
novice. Bartell and Barrett faced the
starter. At the crack of the pistol Bar
tell took the lead and set the pace, Bar
rett hanging on till the home stretch
was reached, where he made a spurt
and tried to move into first place, bnt
Bartell was too much for him and won
the race in 1.22.
Harry N, Mamie T and Latah faced
the starter in the three-eights mile
handicap for 2 year olds. When the flag
dropped, the three horses moved away
together, but Harry N was too fast lor
his companions, and won the race in
37. ,
The mile open bicycle' race was then
announced, with J. Folco, G. E. Bartell
and Bert Barrett as starters. Folco took
the lead and paced the boys for the first
halt mile. Bartell then took the lead
and held it till the stretch was reached,
where Barrett took first place and set
such a lively pace that Bartell was com
pelled to give up.
Then came the running one and one-
eighth handicap over five hurdles for a
purse of $150. Tom Clark and Little Joa
were eent for the sticks. The race was
the first of the kind ever pulled off on
the track and every one was anxious to
see how the horses would go over the
hurdles. Tom Clark took . the fence in
good style", going over with a clean jump,
never striking and always measuring
the distance before taking the hurdles.
Little Joe made a good showing, but
was far out-classed. Time, 2.70.
The bicycle race, one-fourth mile, for
boys nnder 16 was won by Ernest Cob
leigh, Rue Miller taking second place.
Time, 38.
Daring the afternoon a match foot
race for fifty yards was run between
Cameron and Thompson. - Cameron
won with ease in 5 seconds.
Anyone desiring their chimneys
