Second tiij--Tlmrilj, Jiuir :illi.
The second, day of the State F.vir was a
(Treat improvement over tin- iiist. The num
ber in attcmlai'co was much laigcr than on
the teu'jinl day of lajt year, anil the exhibitors
were bringing in tlieir displays very rapidly.
There is considerable fine stock on tlio ground
already, nr.it much inorc is coming, wlnlethe
pavilion exhibition was ijuitii creditable and
omn very rare articles m iy be ecn. Ono of
the luiul-imcst utti actions in tlie pivilion is
tlie ciiiier w-ciipieil by Mr. Abcll of this city.
The display of tarm products ill probably
nut be as lare as form-ilv, ecept eaily vege
tables and seasonable fruits. We noticed one
attractive featiue to tlie State Fair which U
a great improvement on the nuuiMT such ex
hibits have heictofoio beeu made.

devoted to floral exhibit', under the special
charge of Mr. Miller, of Milwaukee, and bis
admirable taste displays tlie rich and rare
plants t admirable advantage. It is cer
tainly one of the mam features to be seen.
The articles for the pavilion art not yet suffi
ciently placed on exhibition for us to make
any special mention. There are probably
more blooded horso on tin- ground than have
ever been at any one place in Oregon, and the
races promise to be very interesting and
thoroughly contested. Yesterday's races
were as spirited as we have ever seen on the
track. Tlie track was in splendid older and
in the first race of three quarters of a mile,
fiee-for-all, for a purse o $500, six horses
started, as follows : Tillie O, Torence, Jim
Merntt, Mayflower, Hcenau, Billy Musgrove.

From the fact that a few pcr-ons attempted
to monopolize their respective lines of trade.
There is a remarkable absence (if penny thows
also olisei vably, and there is one bocth occu
pied by one of tho worst systems of gambling,
known as the envelope game, which might as
well be dispensed with. Such institutions
are no credit to tho society or tl.e public and
should not b allowed on the ground. We
expect the fuir will be a grand success this
yrar, and we sincerely hope in maybe, as the
officers of the society are doing all in their
power to make it such. We shall giv o details
of exhibitions in our issue to-morrow.

Entries closed at S o'clock last cvcnjng and
so the fail may now be considered organized
and in order for public examination and' criti
cism. So far as receipts and appearances go,
the Officers of the society ,claim that condi
tions are satisfactory to them, and up to yes
terday evening tho money income was greater
th in at the same time last year. A glance at
the stock yauls stiow good stock in all direc
tions, but not as much of it in some clasnes as
would stun disirablo and ixao..ablo to ex

greater liilmSers and Kttir excellence hair
ever before. They are not exposed to view.as
ate the other stock, and it will require a moie
careful examination than I on give to-day to
do justice to the subject, but I am inclined to
take it foi granted that the horse show i
good, without further quetion, partly be
cause Onvomans take gr at pride in their

GOOD SPAXL-tll 11LOOD
From abroad, is a great and a much needed
help for our home flocks. Besides tlie im
ported sheep, that hardly can be called in com
petition with our flocks that are exposed to
most of the weather 'hroiigh all seasons, there
are exhibits from I). M. Guthiic, John Minto,
Thomas Cross and many others, but I regit
to say, that for a country that is so much In
tel est-d iu sheep husbandry, and has so many
good Hocks, there is a very sinill show of
sh-ep, and tho variety is not a grcit ai
would be desirable. The great sheep ranees
of Orrgon lie east of the mountains and south
of this valley, in the Umpqua and Rogue
River regions, but while the finest flocks aiu
supposed to be in the Umpqua, because that
pastoral region produces the most desirable
and highest priced fleeces, not a sheep or a
fleece trom there is here on exhibit; neither
is there any representations, so far as l on
sec, of the immense flocks wo hear so much
from in Eastern Oregon. If more inducement
in the way of premiums is necessary, could
not the society make some award in the shape
of mileage, to secure presence of sheep from
remoter sections of Grcgon and Washington?
If this is to bo a " State Foir," veritable,
then let us have a w ider representation
THE SWINE PENS
Are all filled with the "gruutors" and present
a force, representing various branches of tho
great and growing hog family. The exhibit
of swine is apparently satisfactory, and in
view of the current low prices of w heat it is
well that the hog family is well taken care of
and sufficiently appreciated among us. I at
tempted to interview whole families of the
creatures, but they laid , and sweltered and
grunted) panting with thu unusual heat and
the close and narrow quarters. Mothers with
families in various stages of progression, the
rising generation, iu all stages, alone or in
groups, pater familias.as well us the old sows
and pigs, w ere stretched out, panting in their
straw bedding, complaining of the heat, for
to-day has been rather warmer on the fair
grounds than was convenient for the reporter.
The swine, let me say in conclusion, are well
represented here and no insinuation meant
upon biped. It looks as if our fowls had been
foully dealt with. Several years ago Chanti
cleer and all his family were here, from the
proud strutting games, and lubberly cechius,
down to the the tiniest of bantham, all were
here, and there was hardly room to do them
justice. About those times chicken fanciers
used to compete and better still they used to
advertise, but a great deal of time, talent and
money, was thrown away b) ainbitij' s men
who
CROWED OVER EACH OTHER

To-day tho grounds begin to fill up, and
campers uro arriving to ocuipy the groves and
unlock the doors ot thu long-closed shanties,
but theie is no disguising the fact that a State
rair on the old plan, to be held in October
and continue ono week, is more satisfactory
to the public and leaves a better flavor in the
memoiy than these July gatherings when the
earth has not vet given her consent by ripen
ing her harvests aud tinting her fruits with
the huesot autumn; when tne sun, ton, Hav
ing assisted dame INnttirc in tlavnriug and
ripening her products, and got over being red
in the face with midsummer efforts, has gi own
pleasantcr in manner and more even-tempered,
and so more kindly, and all things are
more suitable for the enjoyineus of man and
beast. Hereafter the Society should take the
chances of October rains and not punish hu-
miHity by such experience as must attend
July meetings. The directors must make
terms with Vennor or with the clert 0! the
weather; conciliate the moon and determine
the courses of the stars, so as to insure the
best weather possible, and then put their trust
in I'roviilence and go ahead, nut lor pity s
sake, and the reporter's sake, let's have no
more midsummer fuirs.
Here it i", the fourth day of the Fair, and
the crowd is not v ct here. There arc not as
many on the grounds to-dav as there usually
mere ou the first day in the old times when
October was tho season for holding them and
they commenced Monday and closed hatur
diy. This is a cro of "linked sweetness
long drawn act," with a vengesnee. To-morrow
is Suud iy, when there will be an idle
crowd around and all an molts for Siiudiv ti
be over, 'lhe display can be summed up in a
few words as creditable, so far as it goes.
The exhibit of horses is tho best of n cord, so
at least they soy; the Pavilion shows to better
advantage than ever befoie; then is a flower
garden extension this year that is a great at
traction aud blooms like an oasis m a wilder
ness of utility; like an Eden, as it is, greatly
to tne credit oi iieury miner, roriranu
veteran florist, and some others, all of which
your lady correspondent will do justice to.
1 rind it aliout impossible to go into a de
scription of tho various outside departments,
while the entry books are in the hands of the
committees, but shall get after them by
Monday. Tlie fact i,one cannot bo correct
without the record of eutries and premiums,
and the safest way to review stock and ma
chinery is to do it with knowledge of where
the premiums fall. All things considered the
fair promises to be a financial succeis, and so
far the icueipts run about the same as in 1881,
when the society netted handsomely. It is n
great improvement that the wind has become
southeily o-day, and the air cool and de
lightful, wueieas yesterday was a nttio warm.
A few clouds tamper the sun, and southern
airs make it delightful on the grouud? and ou
