The SH'j weather man was considerate and fur- 11.! nished nn excellent variety or weather jfGH during most of the day, but during the H afternoon tho sky clouded up and tho sJ& evening was raw and suggestive of tho rifl. late fall. - fll7 There was an excellent attendance; JLli however; not up to. that- of tho third j v day, but up to the usual standard, and A .tho grounds' wcro comfortably crowded 'vt-", ! all the afternoon and evening. The Vfr people were a little late in coming, too; and it was after 2 o'clock beforo tho ifi buildings begau to fill up. The starting la of the races, however, gathered a goodly ' jV, number in the grandstand and by tho SlMfJl time affairs were well under way tho JiHiV scats were all taken. &5?Mi? Wcbor County Day. KfSjI! The fact that tho day was named '- in especial honor to "Weber county at- tpfj tractod a largo number of people "from " ftdBfj up the state, and tho railroads reported : wSj considerable iacreaso over the normal YcK traffic from the north and from Ogdeu, A special feature of tho day also was . . tho entertainment accorded tho orphans . T K of the city. About two hundred of tho. - pB littlo ones from the Kenrns St. Ann's w and the State Street orphanages wero - W taken to the grounds under the care ol tho attendants, street car nccommoda- . w lions being furnished through tho kind- E ncss of Joseph S. Wells, gcnoral managei " a? of the Utah Light and llailway com- A if. pany. and admissions were provided 18; through tho courtesy of the officials of 4i w the State Fair association. Nothing that could conduce to tho A K entertainment of tho littlo ones wad forgotten. The' were treated to a rido ijtrfrl in the merry-go-round and they laughed JS HJ; and shouted to their hearts' content at W tho horses and carriages and the music ISj and all the entertainments that ap- ErfR pealed to thorn. Tho parties reached m 's j tho fair grounds at a littlo after 1 3 4 o'clock nnd remained tho greater pare cdM of the afternoon. Accident to Balloon. afm The general programme provided f ot i the public at tho fair was carried ouc SldB according to schedule and without any hitches except tho balloon ascension, vS which was short and thrilling. Just as VXI tho big bag was leaving the ground and vfM the performer had leaped into the air : Wfcl lo bo lifted after his balloon Iho para- chute connections wero cut unexpect- Imna odly and tho professor was left stand- tjffim ing" in his tracks while the balloon li - m sailed awav up over tho grandstand, 'I Mm turned upside down and soon came back t'Im to earth. The other acts in front of jf the grandstand wero all carried out, S as wero those iu different parts of tho -JH grounds. IH' As usual the Indian village and tho . H1 various sideshows wero well attended. & and thero wero large crowds of visitora XH' at tho cattle sheds and other livestock exhibitions. mm All through the buildings hundreds fflr of people wandered about admiring th beautiful exhibits. This wns especially gH! truo in tho new art gallery, where tho KM exhibit this year is said to excood any nfmi previous ono by seventy-five exhibits. iflmv- Tho displays aro uuusually attractive. J Hi also, and give a very pretty idea of j jHc what is being dono in that line of work WUl by tho artists of tho state. Not only ' Bn do the paintings and sculpture show wMl) evidences of unusual skill, but tho jBjl many side lines, such as decorated china, pvrography and photography ap- "fl pear to have attracted numbers pt stu- m dents who aro conscientious, painstak: A' ing and aro producing many really ,m beautiful specimous of artistic merit.

Ono of the most attractive of H :' his collection is a landscape in oil, i it called "Afternoon Clouds," and . a T l .y number of lovely water colors, in which l q the tone, color 'and plnv of lieht. and 1 : shade is especially dolicMful. This (lis- B n ." " play was tho center of a large group B' It! of admirers. Ij A collection of four exquisite outdoor Hi' scenes in oil by Willis A. Adams, a , Park City artist, attracted a good deal I. of attention because of the brilliant ! color effects which were, nevertheless, Ij spread with ehastencss and with boau- r liful avoidance of elariuj: effects. Beauregard's Pictures. T Tho oil portraits, ."The Bath" and 1 "Britain Fishcrwoman," by Donald '.Reau regard, uu artist, recently from Europe, Eu-rope, were the objects of mucht comment, com-ment, as woro also "Tho Adoration of Ages," "The 'ATorninjj Hour" and a study in corn bv ,1.

Ono dainty bit of work b3' a .young lady Ki from Provo, a girl hardly outi of her K teous, and yet exhibiting conBidcrablo K ability' to depict nuturo in somo of her IT' unusual moods is "Tho Mushrooms,'' K . painted by Miss Bcssio Eastman. This l' pjece was especially attractive and re ft ceived much attention from critics, f; Mary Teasdel, an artist who has not U j '-" exhibited before for a number of years, ft' presented a large collection of oil do- ! mesne, scenes, some of which aro very lovelj-. "The Flax Spinner"' and somo of the portrnits were the most attrac tive, although a representation of City Creek Canyon iu Autumn" showed iJ fiomothinf "of tho ahilitv of the. artist. - . "A Bowl of Pansies." by Mrs. Lydia Lf " Hill, and a painting of a beautiful IT crimson tiger lily by Lewis A. Ramsey I? '' .wore among the attractive paintings of i j flowers.
