BiT.pf rtTT"n"ny rtmv nfnuvrwt .gf iw i ' tTT m ui One Unquestionably Jhe greatest day in the history of the Oregon State Fair wan that of yesterday Portland da. That the metropolis did handsomely by the fair this year there is none to dis pute, and such a jolly, good-natured and highly pleased crowd it would bo very difficult to find elsewhere. Expressions of surprise an. 1 wonderment could be heard p7n, every aide, a-ui that every oho w thoroughly satisfied goc with out saying, for there was not a single disappointed expression to be heard upon any account. The crowd and a pretty fair representation of it was in terviewed upon the subject was unan imous in the opinion that it was the best state fair, both, from an entertain ing, amusing and educational point of view, that has evec.bcen held in this date, or iu tLo Pacific Northwest, for that matter. Mr. I. L. Ilackett, editor and pro prietor of the Breeder and Sportsman, of Sacramento California, in comment ing ' upon the fair as a whole, stated positively and earnestly that it was the bst exhibition of its kind that he had evi;r seen ujMn the coast. Why, you have us (California) beat all to pieces. To my recollection I have never, seen fcnch a fair for a stato institution in my experience of many years. Huch it crowd a thia today 1 have never wit ji"8sel before at an affair of this kin 1, and my surprise is Leond cxpre " siort. -, 'In tli first place, the people of Cal ifornia d not know how to give a fair such a this . me. " You eater to a class of farmer omi breeder whifh we do lint. The camp ground is one 6f the greatest feature of the fair. Jt has l.en a great education to me. Why, I saw a man and family who drove 50 milca frn Lake 'county to camp at the fair groun.1i and view the exhibition. "The I live stock exhibit is worthy of. any stale in the union. Mr. (Slide, who got more first premiums at the California state fair fur Shorthorns, bought many of his ln-st cattle from Oregon breeders, anl they took th- ma jority of the premiums. " A ifr.iiiiitiont gentleman of Ta'ma, VMwhingt.n, who has imm1o it ii loi.ii to follow op the fair an I racing circuits for years, stated also that it was the greatest crowd , that h had ever dwn; " anil wo hav some pretty goo I crowd in Washington ome-tinn-," he added ,by way of compari Hon. Tho immense crowd, which was esti mated' at not lea than J3,0OO jieoplo, of which number Portland contributed from ,50 to 3,0H), was scattered throoghouf the .(jromnls, and therh was not it singlA department of the entire exhibit wbb lt was not crowded at al most every hour of the day an 1 appre ciated to the full. The concensus of opinion was that it was tho lost exjosi tion ever held in the state, which is saying a good deal when the excellent display of last year is taken into con sideration. Tair Not Over Yet. Because yesterday was the biggt day nt the fair is not to le taken for granted, however, that the big exhibi tion is at an end. Fnr from it. There still remains two mor Jay of tbe fair, and they will both be proportionately as large urn the two previous ones, and interest in the exhibition will not be al lowed to flajr fr a moment; .Sfbere ore still thousands of people in the city who intend to remain during the balance of the week, an I hey will see the thing through to the finish.. ' T'."sidcs the agricultural .display- and tlhoso of the resources of thd statein general there1 are other features which are attracting much attention, and the principal of thes is the good road dem ontrHtions which are being carried on each day of the fair and are interesting and instructing great throngs of people, especially. the farmers and those who . an. interested in wtreet . improvement. Hon. James W. Altbott director of th ltwky Mountain and Pacifle coast dl vision of the bureau of public road in cpiirios, who ha sole supervision of the demonstration work, is highly pleased with the rcnult of the work, and says that ho l-.ns never seen o mncli genu ine interest taken in it. b the public in generat. " . Mr. Hesjl. of Iteall & Co., of rart liind, who w fornishin? the majr rtn of the machinery for th road work, is also verv much gratificl with Jho Inter est thrw Iwing displayed In'tTie dem onutration work and says that be feels well repaid for tho expense and tron I I- to which hu$ firm has been placed in upplying the machinery and getting tho Hcrcen " racks, etc., !n readiness. Outnid-? of the opening evening pro gram that f this evening, which will he 'devoted for tho most part to a dis cusHion of the gowl roads question, par ticipated in by Mr. Abbott, Congress man Hermann,' and illestrated by atere npticen ,. viow, will Iw the lest ever heard at the fair and from an educa tional Hint of view tho program if the Vpcning evening will be othing in comparison to it. People from all parts 'of th state have come to the state fair for no other purpose than to' witness the good roads -demonstrations and to "ttefld the speaking tonight. ' T.nlav is children's day and ill ehl drcn under the age of lo years will ! admitted to tho grounds free fc of charge. The' pupils and brass lnds .of the Indian Kho6l and Slafe, Kcform Hchovd will be in attendance in full force which will ndd greatly to the at trtivcB.'HS of the day. Another spe cial feature for today will be the baby how whb-h will take place this after noon aud in which there are a great nnndcr of entries. Manv of the b"P yar l have finished picking and the at tcnUtir,. at the fair will be increased from day to day from this source. The concert last night waa very dJ- uccessful :'At:';T:he: :- Fair Hghtfnl and Miss1 Ethel Ilarmond, !Mrs. llalhe rarrish Hinges and 'Miss Kmllr Sqiiier; divided the honors. Mis Rav mond was aajd to in excellent voice and to have pleasexl.her auditors great ly. Sho ha anng in publie but rarely sine ber return. Mrs. Hinges is always good and Mias Hquier's readings prove a great attraction. Parad of Ilorses and Cattle. Excepting the events on the race course in the afternoon, tho principal attraction at the atate fair grounds yesterday waa the parade of premium live Hto k, which took place shortly after Jll o'clock. Very soon after Chief Marshal Eim era! began ealliag out the stock !for the interesting display,'" the open apace between ths pavilion and tho race atk began to take on life, occasioned by the great throng of peo ple eager to get a glimpse of the many ribbon wearers from the cattle and horso Halls. The parade wa headed b tho largo Kngliah . 8hire stallion, "Ked Lynch Conqueror," whose weight is 2,160 pounds, owned by J. I Eidson, of ilverton, and was followed by aixty-eeven other equities of tho various breeds, such as Clydesdales, German Ooachers, - Pereherous, roaUters, trot ters, pacers, and the trim-bodie.l thor oughbreds. Included in this numler were several young auekling eolts and their dams,' following behind their respective sires, j The several equines presented a handsome spectacle as they passed in review of th immense assemblage 'of ample, many of whom announced their pleasure at the sight by applauding the proud owners and attendants that were taking part Jm the parade, also. Following tho horso exhibit were the cnttlo in wingle column, headed by the whit. -faccd Hereford, which numbered twfnty-tw;o, them being leil by the large, 2,43.1poun.l..bnll owned by Conrad & Hon,. of 1m (Irande. Next were nrne Mhorthorns and five Aberdeen -Angus, seven Ked Polls, twenty-three Jerseys, threo Ayrcshires, six llohtelns, nd six l)evns. Altojrether there were exactly 140 Iw a I of stock, and they made a circuit of th- parado "track three times, much to the gratification of all persona in attendance. In - the parade were the three pre mium draft teams which were passed upon by the judges on the previous day. Tho blue ribbon is worn by a pair of l"ercheron owned by W. It. Coulter, of Dslla, Polk couutyj the red by an En glish; Kh ire pair, . belonging to J. II. Sheridan, of Kheridan, Yamhill county, and the thir l premium winners are two Clydesdales, the property of I Come gys, 'of Amity, Yamhill county. P'ach team was drowsed in elegant harness anl hitched to a new farm -wagon, which added considerable to the grand apiearanee of the parade. The Eoad Work Demonstration. f- Much interest as shown yesterday in the good roads work being done at the fair (grounds under the supervision of Hou, dames W. Abbott, of the United Htates Department of Agriculture, Washington, I). (. A stretch of road about .'00 i feet in length, near the dwelling wen pied by the sujarintend ent of the fair grounds, had been pre viously eraded to the proper degree, and vesterday Mr. Ablwtt and bis as sistant. M. A. McCorklej roa l master for Marion county, began the work of appiiiig the crushed granito rock, wiheh the Statesman mentioned a few moraing ajfo. This was put )on in thr.e H'iarate coats, the firet being quite eoarfc and scattered over the highway to the depth of four-inches, then given a thorough rolling down to aboat thres inches with the heavy steam roller, xne next coat of rock was some finer and four inches in depth in it loose state, and it, too, was rolled thoroughly, after which came the 'dressing of very fine rpek, of atout two inches in thickness, when the roller was again applied, mak ing the surface of the road a smooth and I hard nlmmt m cement pavement. It is vry interesting to witncom this work, whieh i certain to result in great good to many seetions of the state, as there were quit" a number of permns present yesterday who reside in ''road districts very remote from the fair ground and are enthusiasts on the subject of letter thoroughfares in thecmintry. . The rock crusher is in constant operation at the fair grounds each Uay, aouth of the pavilion, j Work by the Colliea. Yesterday 8 fternKn there was a pleasing show, of the intelligence po sesswl by the Collie dog, two of these intcrcting canines (being worked at the fair grounds by Kd ward L. Naylor, of porest drove. Mr. 'ayl6r brought out a band of bis fine Angora goats and allowed them' to exrcise jn the 'open spaco inside the parade track. ; Then ho vlS reeled two of his Collies U round them op to certain point s. that he could eatek couple of them, and eo on.jtl3otb dog did their parts exce.l inglv well, and C. D. Nairn, the bretler of Collies, awar l-d them the blue and red ribboas. At first the dogs were a little nervons on account of then being so s many spectators, Imt their work demonstrated that they are fully eom petejit to ilo what is required of them at bome and with the flocks. 1 The Premium Awards.

Events Proved Bather Interesting to the Great Crowd. The race yesterday were very large ly attended and proved very interestiag. The grandstand was fnll and so was the paddoek in fruit. It was estimated that there were 7000 to 8000 people at the course nearly all afternoon. Everything went off all rjght until the last heat of the Lewis and Clark Stake when Red Skiu broke all to pieces, giving Commonwealth a long lead, and making every one think the latter would cer tainly win the heat. The way Red Skin overtook Commonwealth in the last half and passed im at the wire, considering the slow time, and the "oik. that Com- mnowealth had alreaay done, no one can wcuder that the question of the fairness of the heat entered the beads of many and was freely discassed about the st re ten. ' , v r , The Tdiree-Year-Old Pace, The first number on the program of Thursday ws the Inland Empire Stake of $500 for three-year-old pacers. This race brought out five splendid youngs' animals, Alto Lace having .een scratched. The starters were: Jules Redel, Bur fee driving; Beiwie It., llogaboom driv ing; Queen Director, G recti driving; loveless, Ilelmao driving, and Sunny Jim, an added starter, Misner drTig. For the first "beat the pacer got a very prettr start, and on the first quar ter Bessie R. led by half a length overt Jules Bedel. At tho three quarters she! was going as steady a clock-work, ful-i ly five lengths in advance of Purfee s colt. Itythe stretch Queen Director and Loveless . eame up fast, but tbey ctmld not overtake Bessie 1)., and she won easily in 2J22& with Queen Director second, Loveless third, Jules' Redel fourth and Sunny Jim, pulhug up lame, distanced.

For the second heat of the three-year- old stake the pacer received another! flno start and at the quarter tbey were strung out iu the following manner: Bessie R. four Ieoths, Jules Redel, ten- lengths, Queen Director six lengths. Loveless. The positions of the horses were the same all around the mile, for. although Ju lea Kedet came up fast he eoubl not pans Bensie Tt.f and she wow easily in 2:214; the first half having lieen done in 1:07, with Jules Redel second, Queen Director third, and Love less distanced. .Time by quarter: 33 b, l:0jy4, 1:42, 2:21. ? The Lewis and Clark Stake. ' ' This was the 2:17 trot for a piirse of $20K), This was the fdggest trot ting purse of the meet, and the list of entries which originally numbered sev enteen, narrowed down to five starters. They were: The ( nraoitti wealth, Lind sey driving: Red Skin, Moaner driving; Briny K., Dtirfee driving: Lady Madi son, Ward, driving, and Belladi, Rflth erford driving. With the bettors Brfciy K? with a record of 2:11, was the fav orite, with Red Skin second choice. The start of the first beat was a good one. The Commonwealth, the pole horse Wing last away, Belladi was in the lead at the turn, but Durfee with Briny K. cut ax ahead of her, and he was in the lead at the quarter by a length and a half over Belladi. At the half Briny K. still led, but into the stretch The Commonwealth, a Northwest horse, made a big spurt and passed the fav orite easily, and Belladi, another North west animal, also passed Briny K. near the wire md the cheers of the grand stand. The Commonwealth winning in 2:18V4. with Belladi second, Brin K. third, Red Skin fourth, and LAdy Mad ison" fifth. Time by quarters: 34, 1:08V4, 1:42,2:16. J For the second beat of ine jewis and Clark Stake the five splendid trotters lost no time in scoring, and at the start Belladi was in the lead, but at the turn she broke and ran till p"t tbe dnarter. where Briny K. led, with Red Skin seertid and The Commonwealth third. These f hree. held the same posi tions at the half, but st the three quar ters they were only 'noses apart. Down the stretch it was a battle royal for first position, but Red Skin drew ahead kick by inch .and under the wire he led easily, with The Commonwealth and Lady Madison straining every nerve to pass him, while Briny K; was pulled almost to a walk, lieu bkin witi tbe heat, with The Commonwealth sec ond. Lady Madison third, Belladi fourth and Biinv K. fifth. The: time was 2:17, and by quarters it was 34 Vi, 1:0S4, li434,.2:17.
