THE LAST DAY,
The Oklahoma Fair Association Closes
a Successful Meeting.
ENTERTAINING TO THE LAST.

eHt In and About
the Fair*
The last day of the groat fair has
arrived and there is no abatement of
interest and enthusiasm. The attend-
ance is all the most sauguine hoped
for, and the weather, except for dust
during the middle of the day, has been
perfect.
Yesterday afternoon was a climax
capper in point of attendance and at-
tractions. Think of a fair ground
holding the territorial 0. A. It. en-
campment, 10,000 people from the
territory, the fastest horses in the
southwest and Mollie Lease at one and
the same time. And. as if this was
not enough, the proud mothers of Ok-
lahoma had one of those contests that
always arouse feminine enthusiasm
and delight—a baby show.
The hardest worked and most cheer-
ful set of people in the territory were
the officers of the association. They
met the demands for their services
with a willingness and promptness
that endeared them to all who came in
contact them. The judges were also
busily engaged in determining meri-
torious exhibits and attaching blue
ribbons to what, in their judgment,
and the time made proves the perfect
condition of the track.
Free for All.
In this race there were also five en-
tries: John Kinney bp .1. K. Kinney;
Kansas by S. K. Wilson; Hilly the
Twister by.I. H. Chandler; Wesley 11.
by .J. II. Norris: John Carpenter by A.

were satisfied with the horses, drivers,
judges and others connected with this
hot event, the time being swift and
all the horses being driven to win.
Illcycle Karen.
There was but one. bicycle race on
the program, the five mile handicap
for the si(io Hoffman wheel offered by
)']. H. Knauss; the bicycle dealer. Sain
Wisbyand Chas. Cunningham, of (iuth-
:*ie, were the only entries, Cunning-
ham winning at a good distance in
14:40. There was great interest in
this race and lots of money changed
hands on the result. Wisby was a
prime favorite and odds as high as 10
to 1 were freely oft'errd on him by his
admirers,, but he never was really in
it, odds being too great and Cunning-
ham too swift for such a handicap.
J. S. Soule of the Home. Field and
Forum took first premiums on all his
choice varieties of chickens.
McCoy and Morris carried off the
honors in poultry, llare breeds of
choice stock were their specialties.
The Perkins corn man and picket
fence and gate constructed out of sor-
ghum, were admired by the crowd.
Logan county farmers have contri-
buted their full share towards the suc-
cess of the fair. They will be treated
right.
Mrs. Hrown, of Crescent City, took
first and second premiums on tine
patchwork quilts. They were beauti-
ful specimens of needle work.
Assistant Secretary Shepherd was
untiring* in his efforts to please and
proved the right man for the arduous
duties that devolved on him.
Sheriff Painter deserves great
credit for closing the yawp of the pro-
gram fiends who insisted on disturb-
ing the speaking yesterday with their
unearthly squawks.
Next year the fair officers will un-
doubtedly provide in their contract
with the program men that a privilege
to sell programs does not include the
right to disturb everything with un-
seemly bawling anil ungentlemaniy
and disgusting actions generally.

We lay especial stress on the Exccilence of our goods,
