Ihc only source, of regret igjvas that Iho buildings were not quite large enough to hold the large aeeumulation of farm products. Wo have been assured that a state fair is really an essential, and that wo should go before be-fore the legislature and ask thai they hclp us to build more stables and buildings, build-ings, and to make general improvements about the. park for the eomfort. of patrons pat-rons and the wclfare of tho fair.,J In the agricultural building thorc has been a man ceaselessly working day in and day out. untiring, and always ready-to ready-to do all in his power, and who has I really done his share to make the fair ,the big success it was. This man is j I? rank J. .Hewlett, and he had tho fob I lowing to say: 'The fair has been a! good one. The exhibits were the best I ever have seen. The agricultural I building this rear has been piled high1 wilii au array of products, which would do credit to any stale, twice Utah's I size. T am immensely pleased with the j way the fair has turned out. and in my opinion Utah's 3910 fair was the largest larg-est ever held in the intcrmountain coun-t coun-t ry. '' j Freo Attractions. I Promptly at 2 o'clock Saturdav afternoon after-noon the free attractions wcro "thrown open, and as usual, catered to a large and enthusiastic crowd. Tho horse races drew an immense crowd, and following this. Professor Kobinson gavo his sensational sen-sational balloon ascension with the lion daiiglintr serenely at the cud of one of the parachutes. Tho crowd which witnessed wit-nessed the last ascension was exceedingly exceed-ingly large. Special policemen were detailed about the large canvas bag, aud when tho balloon cut loose, there were plaudits of delight. Both parachutes' opened easily, and tho trip back to earth was without mishap. The .biplane did not fly Saturdaj'. During the week Messrs. Yadc, Walker I and Davis, the three youiig men who I havo been working upon the construction construc-tion of the machine for a number of i months, labored night and day in an at-' louipt. to get tho frail craft To fly. All their efforts, however, appeared un-i availing. Jn speaking about the biplane, bi-plane, Mr. Walker said that the pro-1 pollers had a great deal to do with a ! success i in iiignr. anu ni;iu tins trouble had lK?en remedied. That tho young men will win out in the long run,' is assured. as-sured. Fireworks Display. The firoworhs display given by Professor Pro-fessor Abbott was extremely good. Many spluttering set pieces added to the enjoyment of the evening, and to cap tho climax. Professor Abbott dived from tho ele.valcd platform in front of the grand stand into a pool of water, while firecrackers exploded about him. i After that, the crowd wandered I around hiking in an attraction here and j then; as if loth to leave tho place- which had been such a scene of animation during dur-ing the week, j AM Ihc exhibits on tho grounds were kept intact until late Saturday evening, even-ing, when tho exhibitors began tho work of moving. There were a dozen or so auction sales of fruits, vegetables and the other things which havo attracted ibo much attention during Iho week, i |
