CAPITAL STATE FAIR.
Seventh Annual Exhibition.
7 AIR WKATHER AND TIIK PROSPECTS
FOR A GREAT EXHIBITION MA-
TERIALLY BRIGHTENED.
SECOND DAY.
Yesterday the second day ol the Capi-
tal State Fair opened wet and dreary and
offered rather gloomy outlook (or the
exhibition. Notwithstanding this fact
however by 10 o'clock a tolerably fair
crowd had assembled on the grounds
eemingly determined that the pet Insti-
tution of the Capital City should be a
success despite bad weather or other
untoward circumstances. Soon after 10
o'clock the weather began to clear up
nd In a few hours the unwelcome clouds
had almost entirely disappeared and the
un shone out In all Its resplendant
glory. This change In the elements
required but a comparatively short time
to Increase the attendance to what may
be termed quite a respectable turn out.
A stroll through the main exhibition
hall showed that contributions to this de-
partment had grown wonderfully since
the day previous and In lact they kept
Increasing throughout the entire day.
There are many fine specimens of ladies'
handiwork fancy dry goods vegetables
flowersplaQta specimens of marble work
samples of honey canned goods Jellies
preserves musical instruments sewing
machines and fixtures and to be brief
a little of nearly everything that can be
thought of. All ot the entries in the dif-
ferenOepartments mentioned yesterday
by the' Statesman have been largely
Increased and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed by many who have seen all the
previous exhibitions at these fairs that
the display In the main hall Is decidedly
the finest ever seen there. In addition
to this the reporter was Informed by
Secretary Bartholomew thut the entries
continue to pour In and a great many
are expected to-day. When the depart-
ments are all lull. It will then be the
pleasure of the Statesman to go more
into details.
Earth Boring and Excavating
Machines A great many machines
have been Invented In different parts of
the country for boring wells post holes
etc. but it has been left to the inventive
genius of Messrs. J. W.Storey Carley &
Bros. of Cotton Gin Texas to make a
boring machine that is perfect in every
respect. This machine is different from
any other excavating machines as
does Its work in a rapid and buslnesg
like manner. The Inventors claim lor it
the following points :
1. It Is of few parts which at once
makes a much cheaper machine than those
ol more complicated construction and at
the isuie time is not liable to get oat of
order.
3. It is a machine In which the boring
and removal of the dirt go on simultane-
ously. 8. TSwJisadvantages arising hereto-
fore in the use ol this class of machines
lapping around the shaft of the
augur and striking against the sides of
the hole does not occur in this machine
and it has many other advantsgea that
we have not space to mention. The average
peed la from 20 to 30 feet per hour ac-
cording to the nature of the soli and
where the soil is good it has bored a hole
12 Inches in diameter and 40 feet deep In
40 minutes. These gentlemen have a
mali machine for making post-holes
mounted on a wheelbarrow so that It can
be easily moved from place to place and
can. be worked by one man who can bore
a post-hole 6 inches in diameter 13 Inches
deep in from one and a half to two min-
utes. They also have a drilling machine
far cutting through rock. These ma-
chfnes are worked by hand horse or
steam power. Visitors to the fair should
not fail to call on Messrs. Storey Carley
& Bro. and Jet them show you the ma-
chlue in operation. It Is located a short
distance north of the main hall.

THIRD DAT.
ANOTHER FAVORABLE DAY FINE
WEATHER BIO SHOW
SAD ACCIDENT.
The- Is nothing snore capricious than
the weather and early yesterday morn
ing every one labored under the Impres-
sion that the third day's exhibition ol the
fair would take place during wet cold
and generally disagreeable weather. This
prediction proved amiss for by 12
o'clock the clouds had disappeared and a
beautiful day was usiiered In.
The attendance yesterday was quite
liberal aud the show had been
augmented over that of the day
previous in proportion to the in-
crease in the crowd. A good many ad-
ditions were made during the day to the
exhibits in the main ball and the entries
in this as well as among the machinery
rarra products buggies wagons stock
etc continued to rapidly come In during
the entire day and our people and visit-
ors may expect to-day the finest exhibi-
tion ever held in Austin. The races
save for the sad accident yesterday were
very fine while the. other sources of
amusement were entirely adequate to
entertain the many visitors present.
In too way of refreshments in addition
to the several lemonade and beer stands
cigar applo aud confectionery counters
there are several lunch houses
where the wauts of the in-
ner man can be provided for at a mod-
erate cost. The ladles ol the Southern
Presbyterian cbureh have pavilion

start being almost perfectly even. Bet.
tie Scott soon went to the front with
Primrose a length behind aud the horse
two leugths behind Primrose. It was seen
when the horses passed the grand stand
on their first half mile that Primrose's
rider (Aiken) had the inare under a
strong pull evidently awaiting the proper
time when he would take the lead which
be could easily have done. When a little
beyond the first quarter pole Aiken gave
the mare rein aud went rapidly for-
ward and. in the effort to take the Inside
track from some cause it is not known
definitely what the mare suddenly fell
Killing both herself and her rider. The

FOURTH DAY.
FULLY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE PRE
SENT "old probabilities"
AGAIN FICKLE.
FINE SPORT IN THE SPEED RING-
AWARDS IN VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS.
EQUESTRIENNE RACE TO-DAY
When the thousands of readers or
tbo Statesman read in yesterday's
issue the ' indications" that we were to
have fair weather for the day they felt
happy and determined to go out to the
fulr. They went and so did their "sis
ters and their cousins and their aunts."
Business in the city was almost entirely
suspended and as early as 10 o'clock an
almost constant stream of sight-seers and
pleasure-seekers was pouring Into the
fairgrounds. By noon the crowd had
reached fully five thousand and at
the gates the " cry was still they come"
aud Just at that hour "Old Probabilities"
proved his fickleness as a disagreeable
rain began to fall forcing the ladies to
seek shelter just to protect that "duck
of a hat" you know. The grass becom
ing wet ol course made walking over
the ground disagreeable and to this ex
tent were the pleasures of the day
marred. The rain settled into a regular
drizzle and then the "Indications" were
decidedly unfavorable but the clerk of the
weather seeming to take compassion
upon the multitude "let upon his bad
spell" sufficiently long enough to allow
all who desired it the opportunity of
getting to the grand stand to witness the
racing. Before the sport ended old
Pluvius again shed Bis tears upon the
crowd and the dampest lot of mortals
ever seen were those who left the
grounds in their no top vehicles. Toung
ladies middle aged matrons and old
maids didnt say any "cuss words" but
the way they looked mad was just "too
awfully awfuL"
Superintendents of and their commit
tees on awards in the several depart-
ments were quite busy throughout the
day in attaching the blue or red ribbons
u article exhibited. Of course in eases
of competition there followed disap
pointments but we have hejrd of no '
complaint?. Taken all in all the day was j
an cujoyable one. and was au epoch in-!
the history of the Capital State Kair As
sociation which murks its seventh annual
exhibition as a grand success.
The superintendent or Division "I"
exhibition ball railed to turn in bis books
to the secretary or t be fair association
aud it .was impossible Tor the Statesman
reporters to obtain the names or those to
whom awards were made. They will ap
pear to-morrow.

On account or the rain the concluding
performance did not come off. which was
a disappointment to many who desired
