Our Count) Fair.
TUESDAY.
The ladies certainly are deserving
of all praise for the display at the pa-
villion yesterday. It would be impos
sible to enumerate the articles in the
brief spaco allotted to us, but we can
not ignore the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Apperson, Mrs. Fellows, Mrs. Fuller,
Miss Russ, Mrs. C. W. Talmage, Mrs.
Gault, and others, to make a good dis
play of the articles offered. It is tine,
but when a resident of the county ex
pects more, who has perhaps not con
tributed an article to aid the display,
we feel like having “ a little square
talk” with them. This fair is a county
fair, and to make it a success every
man, woman and child should pull out
for success. If we ever get a state fair
here, that is the way to get it. But we
will talk this matter over some other
time. We hate to leave the pavilion«
It is a cheerful place, after a tramp
around the stables and among the pens
of sheep, cattle, etc., in the broiling hot
sun, which compelled us to take two
double doses of nauseous quinine last
night to keep off the malaria; so we
will just step into the parlor furnished
by Capt. E. B. Fellows and S. A. Man
ning <fc Co. Here we find music, good
company, and a display of furniture
better than any that was used to dec
orate the halls of the first pavilion at
Portland. These gentlemen deserve
many thanks for this display, audit
puts them “ way up" in the estimation
of those who believe that nothing suc
ceeds like success. But we must go
on, so we file out into machinery hall,
where empty counters is the predom
inating feature of conspicuousness.
However, B. F, Fuller is here with the
very useful article, a clothes horse to
be attached to the ceiling of a room,
an invention of his own; and a pack
ing chest for campers, which serves as
a pantry and a table in camp. It is a
most excellent thing. The products of
the farm have a very limited display.
Richard Cook, and Mr. Graves are the
most liberal exhibitors in this depart
ment.
MISCELLANEOUS.
C. D Johnson and Mr. Force have a
fine display of home made buggies,car
riages, aud hacks. There is no better
vehicle in the state, and when a man
buys of his home manufacturer he does
so with a consciousness of the fact that
he knows the men who made the vehi
cle; and if it does not turn out good
can have it made good.
Little Miss Nellie Hembree is compe
ting as a bread maker at the fair.
Mr. Terry’s display of tools, all home
make, is very creditable.
Four lonesome chickens adorn the
poultry pens. The credit of sending
them belongs to R. W. Phillips.
There is a scandal over Qt North Yam
hill which is unfit for publication, but
which should be reported to Prosecut
ing Attorney Bradshaw, by some res
ponsible citizen attested. The news
paper is not the court in such cases.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the F. B. Smith patent Sprink
ler aud Novelty force pump. Captain
J. P. Deshon, the general agent, has a
compound that goes with it which he
claims will do the work of six fire ex
tinguishers, at a cost of one dollar.
The gate receipts up to last night
amounted to $1,194.
AT I'HE STOCK PENS.
Solon Prince, the fine Holstein bull
owned by C. A. Wallace, attracts
much attention. He has also some
other fine stock on exhibition, includ
ing a two-year-old heifer, very hand
some, and a fine cow and calf.
L. K. Wallace exhibits two yearling
heifers and a cow of the Holstein
blood.
Elon Wallace exhibits a calf that
is a fine animal.
George Gammie brings down from
Broadmead farm several head of Short
Horns, and Clydesdale horses.

Devonshire bull and a pair of trained
work oxen.
In sheep we find four head of Cots
wold«, the property of A. C. Davis and
one Southdown belonging to Mr. Har
baugh. Also a fine lot of Southdown

lambs this year. One had lour; three

They have surely arrived. Yesterday
we counted ten large eases to be
opened in time for business this morn
ing.
The Astorian says : Wnt. Martin,
of McMinnville, wants to run with
somebody for $500 a side. He can be,
probably, accommodated by some of
the Astoria bovs at Salem this week.
There will probably he no finer dis-»
play on the fair grounds than can l>e
seen at Detmering's show window. En
ergy will tell. Detmering is certainly
opening one of the finest lines of goods
ever displayed in McMinnville.
If this paper suits you for a bit a
week we shall appreciate the favor of
your subscription ; we have no money
to lose in the venture ; if it pays it»
way another column will be added,
