Every-body is pleased with the fair even tho chronic kicker so far forgetting lits avocation as to praise tho fair and overvbody connected with it. My 0 o'clock yesterday morning tho crowd was as largo as It had been seen at the best on previous years and by 2 o'clock the grand stand, quarter stretch, art hall and track fenco were literally jammed with people. All Guthrie was thero and most of their country relations with largo delegations from Oklahoma City, Perrv, El Itcno, King-llshorr Norman, Edmond and pther towns. In Art Hall, The committees were awarding premiums and everything was a buz? of expectation, exclumailon admiration and expostulation. The exhibits wore now complete and every division presented a handsome appearance.

The ladles were in tho majority hoio and the scene wa one of beauty and gaiety long to be remembered by all witnessed It. Luruii (Jointly Kxlillilt, Ono of the ilrst exhibits that attracts attention aftor entering art hall is that of Thos. Norrls, living two south of Guthrie, who has on exhibition thirteen kinds of pump-kins and tquash, fourteen varieties of corn, two of lvafllr corn, corn in stalk, cow peas, sorghum, hops, vetches, four varieties of wild grasses, asparagus, turnips, muskmclons, beans, sage, horehound und millet, which makes a pretty good showing for a dry year. J. V.

Panyo county has the finest and most elaborate county exhibit on tho grounds, most of it having been brought in from the Perkins fair. Eighty-pound watermelon, pumpkin as largo as camels, sweet potatoes larger than a man's hat, Irish potatoes that would make Colorado irrigators alck, peanuts equal to the best double-jointed Callfornlu production, corn, Kufllr corn, and cane like forest trees, aud other things in proportion, all go to make up a display of which Any county in the Union might well be proud. Payne county Is all right and so Is Perkins and her fu'r association. The New Womiiii Here. Soon after dinner thero arrived one of the attractive features of tho fair, a genuine ladles' baud the Ladies' Cornet band, of Stillwater, who serenaded the crowd in art hall and later took their places ou tho lloor of tho judges' stand and rendered several pieces which vtcic loudly applauded aud cheered.

The band is composed of Nora Talbot, Mi rtlo Talbot Hattlo Klrby, Lilly Ulee, Gertrude Andrews, George Talbot, Amos Talbot and J. P. Talbot. Tho last named gentleman is the father of four of tho members of tho bind aud "lias a musical family of which ho Is justly proud, The young ladies looked very handsomo In blue caps, red waists und blue skirts and wcro admired by all. When it is con sidered that fivo months ago not a member of tho band could read a note, their plaving becomes really remarkable.

In the third heat of thlsroo as Laura Cassock was rounding the curvo in tho second quarter sho was crowded to tho edgo by another horse and the sulky wheel run up on the bank and threw thedrlucr, 0. Fitch, off.

Ho was up in an instant and after tho horse but was too late to catch her. Sha ran a hundred yards in tho track, turned aud ran west toward tho center of the ring for a short distance and turned back. At this juncture one of tho rub- bar tics came off and the horse became ilrlghtcncd and began to kick and plunge, wrecking tho sulky, but being unable to got free from It. The now thoroughly frightened animal turned and mo straight for tho judges' stand. Immediately their was con-ternatlon and panic among tho people iu buggies and carriages, all about tho stand and a score of men ran out and in ado desperate efforts to turn the horso back or to one sldobutall In vain.

On she came straight ahead and dashed among the horses, carriages and people for several minutes it seemed there would "certainly bo an awful catastrophe. Strong men turned sick and closed their oyes, ladles screamed and fow fainted and even old time horsemen groaned aloud, all waiting in dreadful ausponso for the final crash and tho terrible results that seemed so suro to follow. The horse plunged against the phaeton bo-longing toTerrltorlal Treasurer Turner and camo to a dead stop grasped by a dozen strong hands. This buggy was luckily unoccupied, but ono of tho sulky caught the rear wheel of School Land Commissioner Bllncoe's phaoton as Mrs. Illlncoc who occupied it was guiding dexterously out of the path of tho runaway and turned it over, throwing Mrs.

lllincoo to the ground. In an instauco sho was lifted oat of danger, tho horse held and tho buggy righted. Somewhat bruised and badly shaiten up with her face scratched in several places. Mrs. ltllncoa soon rallied and beyond severe prostration from so great a shock it is not thought there will beany serious consequences The horso soon becamo quiet and was able to trot In the next race all right.

It was some timo before he got his wind sufficiently to get up but it is not thought his injuries will result serloutily.

Hon Ilernard Kelly, Concrcsmimu Donnl Flynn und lion ,1 II l'llrcr tuukc Hinging Spccchc Mr l.cmc Will he Here Today nnil Will Make nn AUertM. Tho war is about over, tho city has surrendered and a trtico has been dc. clarcd until about 8 o'clock this morning, when the onslaught will bo re-nowed upon sow-belly and beans, llnp jacks and coffee and no quarter will be given until thccashlcrcomcs around at tho end of tbo meal.

All day yesterday Island Park was thronged with visitors aud the old soldiers put in a day that will bo treasured in memory's gallery alongsido of tho great days in '01-'5. ij Tho day opened with reveille at sunrise and ovcry mother's son of them was routed in regular army stylo. At 0 o'clock the vctcrnns assembled at tho R. hall uptown and at 10 o'clock a procession 'was formed and moved through tho streets In tli5 fol-J lowing order: Field Marshal Uamcs. Military band.

Company A. 0. N. (3. Department banner.

Drum corps. Veterans. Ofllcei of tho day, 0. R. Young, Hartrant Post.

Ladies of G. A. with banner. Abo Lincoln Circle W. It.

C. Colored veterans. Carriages with speakers. Veterans and their famillcF. Citizens.

Arriving at tho park tho procession disbanded and in a few minutes an audienco of a thousand people was assembled in front of the grand stand. Tho exercises of tho moruing wcro opened with music by tho Military band, followed by an eloquent prayer by Rev. McPheetcrs. "Tho Star Spangled llannor" was then sung with enthusiasm, after which Mayor Robert Martin, of Guthrie, delivered the add i ess of welcome Ho spoke of tho stalwart young men who marched away to war thirty years ago and how great the contrast between them ami tiio gray haired men before and all about him, and how much tho nation owed to these shattered men and tho memory of tho many who marched away never to return. After speaking at the length of the glorious achievement of the nation he welcomed the assembled comrades and their families and friends to tho Capital city and all therein, to Island Park and the full hospitality of the camp.

Department Commander Trosper responded in a fitting manner, thanking Mayor Martin and the citizens of Guthrie for tho hespitallty so generously extended. Ho said tho old soldiers were present to enjoy themselves and they expected to stay aud have a good time as long as tho provisions held out. "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp tho Hoys are Marching," solo by Miss Maud Goodrich, chorus by tho old soldiors, was next on the program. Tho boys did not sing out lively enough to suit Bernard Kelly and ho said that thoy could beat them all to pieces in Kansas at which tho chorus was taken up and repeated In a way that shook the leavs from the trees. Hon.

John U. Pitzer, or El Reno, was introduced and addressed the audience. Ho could not go with tho old soldiers down the galleries of memory to view pictures of valor and patriotism, but nothing was to him more dear than the boys of blue, none that he is so delighted to honor. Why should tbey not meet in reunion, for death was. abroad in tho land sweep ing many of tho old soldiers before him and now these were upon whoso heads had not fallen the 6now that never melts.

The ladiA, too, are here and why should they not be, for did not tbey perform as great deeds of valor as tho men, coming to tho front in the hour of darkest need? God bless them, their courage and patriot ism is needed by none. The boys in blue had saved this country and made possible the wonderful progress here In the land of tho fair. God, then why should not those here not receive equal treatment with the rest of the land? A debt of twenty million dollars bd been saddled upon this territory and the nation was asking tho people hero to live upon their land and earn It, and thB ia the end pay for it, too. The eld soldiers bad a right to demand that this burden be lifted; it was but I'JMtlee, aad If the demand was made etrewg ejKwgh'it would be heeded, After a eong by the glco club, an adjournment was taken for dinner. Afternoon.

After tho enemy had been once more conquered and dinner put down ns expeditiously as tho robelllon, the boys once moro gathered about tho grandstand, their numbers being aug mentcd by well up toward a thousand citizens of Guthrie. Tho first thing was the singing of America, and tho grand old. hymn was sent rolling and reverberating among tho trees until all wcro Inspired with Its ennobling sentiments Next came Hon. Rev. llcrnhrd Kelly, of Kansas.

Everybody knows Ilernard Kelly, or if thoy don't, they ought to. lie has been hero and everywhere else before und will surely come agntn. Ho Is a Methodist camp-meeting exhortcr, who knows seven huudrod and seventy-seven new sto ries, goes at everything with cnllnisl asm bubbling ever and blowing ant tho cork, nevsr gets tired talking and can talk longer and londor and keep a crowd In good humor longor than any man living. In fact, It is this faculty of keeping his hearers In perfect good humor that alono prevents his audiences from rihlng up and smiting him at the place it would do the most good for tho many political ambushes ho leads them Into. For Mr.

Kelly has ono falling ho will talk politics in season and out of season; in fact, he cannot talk without talking politics, at least ho never docs. Hut that falling is hlsstrong point in tho oyes of tho Republican national committee and they keep htm constantly going up and down tholand making speuches to the old soldiers and trying to bamboozle them Into believing that tho Republican party, and not thoy, saved tho country, and they should allow tho Republican party to rob thorn and their children and their children's children, for having thus saved tho country from itself and turned it over to the many sharps of New York and Now Euglander and tho tariff labors of Pennsylvania. Other speakers may bo called in, but Kelly novcr stops. lie talked for three hours yostorday aftarnoon and while thero was much that was olequent, much that was, patriotic and true and interesting in It the, tho continual strain of politics xunnlng though tho whole spoiled It all. In fact, he became bo rank politically that he disgusted many Republican politicians aud partisans.

After thrco hours with Kelly on battlefield, in storybook and politic tho audienco was nnlertalnpl with a voca solo by Mrs. W. Sm'tli, a locltatlon by Mrs. Cupp and singing by tho jubl- Ico singers. llvenlni; Tho program opened with a grand oycrturo by tho military baud, followed by singing by tho choir.

Captain J. J. Hasslor, receiver of tho Enid land office, was introduced and told tho assembled r.tnllonco all about "tho man who put down tho war," an address rcploto with sldosplltlng humor, patriotism and eulogy of the nation's heroes who marched forth in tho darkest hours aud offered their lives in defense of tho country they loved so well, Captain Hasslor is an earnest, eloquent talker and tho llfo of any meeting In which ho participates. Hon. Dennis Flynn next addressed tho reunion.

Dennis as evorybody knows. Is not much of a speech maker, but the sight of so many old soldiors and the martial surroundings seemed to warm up his Irish lighting blood, and ho sailed In and delivered a stir-rlugaddross. Ills talk was mostly good and appropriate but ho caught tho political fover from Kelly sitting close by'and spollod his wholo cITort by sliding oft into politics and reading a vol mo or two of census and potent olllco roportB trying to prova that the republican party was tho only party that was In favor of giving ovorybody a pension. A. II.

Ulan sang "Old Shady" after which tho evening's oxorcUus aamc to a closo with bongs by the jubilee singers. Urolie Hutl Canlnter. Kelly is all right on a campaign speech. Everybody gtvo throe chaere. Regular mutual admiration soaloty the speakers had for each other.

Commander Trospor Is tho right kind of a speaker before dinner. Mayor' Martin tjhould have reserved part of that European trip until today. Eighty-six colored veterans wore in lino. Captain Reamer made a most ofli-ulentoflicei of tho day on Wodnosday, putting tho program through to the letter. The Lincoln circle march ad forty strong-.

Three cheers for tho ladles. P. MoCabe Is tho latent addition to the Capital stair, being detailed to report the reunion and fair. Tho ladles were out In full force of course. Few of them wurcold enough to have seen tho war.

The Lincoln county delegates hiive forged the country clean for three miles around. Tho Perkins delegation is great on pic "Perkins and pastry" is their motto, "Them's the kind of boys wo were in 'CI," said an old soldier as he sized Continued on pago 4. na ON I WEST SIDE.
