The formal celebiation of Pioneers' day which was to have occurred at 11 o'clock was postponed to two hours later bj the Board of Managers At the hour originally named It seemed Impossible to tear the people from the exhibits and It was suggested that bj watting a couple of hours thcii curiosltj might become partially satisfied. At 1 o'clock the Court of Honor was w ll filled and the hand stand was occupied by manj of the old pioneers -Governor Furnas presided and after bricflj stating the purpose of the gathering ho introduced Hon. Charles II. Sloan of Geneva , the oiator of the day , who spoke substantially as follows : "Mr. President , Pioneers ot the Common wealth and Friends : That Introduction do- mauds an explanation. At a very early date I bccamo by birth a Hawkpyo , at 21 a bug- cater by choice , at 31 a Tree Planter by legislation That I am not one of youi num ber Is due to the somewhat arbitrary choice of my beloved and respected pnents , who interested themselves In the location ot my nattvltj , and who , to the pleadings of Ne braska , gave the cold hand and marble heart.

WORK OP OMAHA ARTISTS. Among the Omaha artists whose pictures command general admiration Is Albert Hoth- ery , who has several pieces Illustrating .videly different tjpcs of the painter's art. One of thn moat prominent is a llfesize por- tiait of Jules Lumbaid , In which the patrl- aiclnl a ] peiranco of the subject affords scope for a very striking portialt. A hand some frieze of roses by the tame artist ranks high among the flower pieces , and a study In the nude , "After the Bath , " shows an ease of polso and accuiaey of detail which elicit much favoiable comment. J K. O'Neill of Omaha Is ropic-scutcd by two large portraits , one of himself , the other of Mrs. O'Neill. Uoth are fairly well done and occupy pt eminent positions In thu g.il- leilis The pictures contributed by Geoigo P. Parsons are probably entitled to rank among the finest pieces In the exhibit. Mr. Par sons is a Nebraska man , but his plctuies were painted whllo he was studying at Paris Ono very effective piece In nn out- of-door Bceuo , rcpie'seutlng an avoniio shaded by two icvs of trees , down which a female flguio Is dlstcuied. Ho has also a huge mlhcapp and a very well executed street secno In Venice. Mis. O M Cartfr of this city has a very excellent frlevu of roses and nearly a dozen other pk'rcs of still lifo and fruits All are cxiccdlngly well done , and lank among the best of the exhibit. Miss Chlon Biown of South Omaha shows a very good painting from still life , which Is a verj pleasing tjpe of the vciy common poitrayal of a blbulent subject In this case the picture rcpiesents a bottlii of wine , another of absinthe * , with the Inci dental box ot clgtus , c'ach of which ghows caicful study , HKIlirs A CHOICR COLUICJTION.

The horse barns are not so well filled as In former joats. Just why this is so It would bo dliliciilt to say , unless It is that breeders do not think theio is enough In It to paj for the trouble and expense of mak ing an exhibit. There are certainly plenty of fine horses In Nebraska , but they arc- not numerously represented at the fair. There are some of the well known and com mon breeds , which have no representatives on exhibition. Those who have taken the trouble to come to the fair , ! -owcver , have brought horses ot exceptional merit. In the stables the ones which attract the most at tention are a lot of beautiful little Shot- lands and a hacknej , which persisted lu sticking his nose out of his box stall and making friends with cveiy one who pasoed along. Ills near neighbors are several flno Jacks , whose leas beautiful coats and still less attractive voices ilo not win for them very much attention , except from people ple ot decidedly practical turn of mind. Passersby do not appear to have the utmost confidence In the sweetness of their disposi tions. If their actions In getting over to the- other side of the passageway are a correct criterion to go by. The Judges were at work yesterday pass- iug upon the horses , and while the multi plicity of entries did not assume any great amount of time in looking them over , ths- vvere of such uniform excellence that It re quired great care In examining all the points to determine which was deserving of the highly prized ribbons. Nothing could better attest the qualitj of the animals shown than the long string of ribbons displayed at the various stables which hail been won at pre vious fairs. The list of previous pri/o win ners would embrace everj thing on the grounds which had accumulated sulllcicnt age to have been exhibited In years cast , and the young ones were principally the progeny of the older pri/e winners There are very few of the extra heavy draft breeds , the bulk of the entries being of the coaches , hackneys and kindred breeds which combine good size with considerable activity. There me a few , however , which looked as though they wcro big ami strong enough to pull most anj thing that could be hitched on behind them. 1IOUS THAT A'lTHCT A'lTK.VI'lON Sivlne from Muni StnloN I'liu-eil on nvIiiliKloii. That the management of the fair knew what it was about when It decided some time ago that It would bo absolutely neces sary to have a large number of additional hog pens has been demonstrated by experi ence Last jear the showing In this line was very largo nnd as flno as It Is possible to secure anywhere In the countiy. The capacity of the pens was taxed to the ut most nnd this year If the 100 extra pens had not been built , the animals which have been brought hero for show could not all of tlie-m have been furnished with accommo dations. With the extra pens there Is not ono to spare and they are not spread out for the purpose of making a show cither The pens aio all of them legitimately occupied , And such hogs. They are of all breeds which the piactleal hog men consider to bo worth raising and they are of all ages from the llttlo fellows , hardly old enough to squeal , to immsterH of tnoioughly matin o age The breeds which piedoniinato are the Yorkshire , practically the only white hogs shown , thi ) Berkshire' , I3ssox , Poland-China and Duroc. The latter are not BO numerous as the other hieeds , though sotnoery line specimens arc on exhibition , While the hulk of the show Is made by Nebraska breeders there are several large lots which comu from other states and wonio of the mosf noted herds In the United States are represented. Missouri , Illinois ) , Iowa , Kansas and Indiana are represented by unmetona pens , but when you comu to Nebraska there Is pen nrter pen and the number of Individual exhibitors Is large In quality they are not ono whit behind these who have come hero from other states IJveu a casual observer f.ould notice that In this line as well us every other , where ( hero Is an opportunity foi comparison , that the Nebraska man readies that the best Is none to good for him , aiul that it It pays the eastern breeder to raise line stock It will pay him. There Is ao particular part of the Btato that seenm to have a predomi nating number of entries , but they come from all parts , and the quality Is of a uniformly superlative oxce-llcnco Another thing that Is noticeable Is that many fanners who have no hogs on exhibi tion aio availing themselves of the opportu nity tn Impiovo either the quality of their present lierdu or to Introduce now blood Breeders are well pleased with tha result of their show and say that It baa proved profitable to eeinio so fai as Immediate re sults nro coneerned , to say nothing of the ultimate benefit to lie derived from the prestige of winning premiums NKBHASKViU UKPUnSHNTniJ All da ) long the pens vvero the center of an admiring throng of farmers , who were Intent on seeing what their neighbors had oven If the- } had none on exhibition them selves Tlio exulblt Is KO largo that It will require the great portion of the day to go through It carefully and : u glvo It even a casual glance , for simply walking through the aisles inquires several hours 1'rom tlilj it can bo seen that In hog as well as hominy Nebraska la well represented at the fair.

By actual count there are Just 2,541 birds In the build ing , but any ono who Is enterprising enough to v Islt the grounds In the early morning will conclude that there are a million. They fill the building from cud to cud and al though lu numbers the exhibit Is about equal to that ot a jcar ago , there Is a de cided Improvement In the quality of the blids The depirtment Is In charge of C il Lowell Ing of Beaver City and It is latgely due to his expel lenco and careful superin tendence that such a collection is disposcil lit the snacc available In nuch a manner that everv bird Is In a position to attract all the attention that Its merits demand. The canes come from eighty-two e > xhibltora , of whom the majority aio Nebraska breeders But a number of veiy good exhibits havu come from other states , and Iowa , Illinois , Wisconsin and Missouri are rejueseiited One realm c that strikes the general ob server is the dlfTeience In the manner In which tbo exhibits are put up Hero ami there an exhibitor has provided coops which are not only ornamental but s-rve to show the good qualities of his fowls to much better advantage than the cheaply constructed cages which others have undo answer a similar purpose It may be all the same to the judges , but it is noticeable that the crowd lingers longest mound the fowls tint aie caged in neat and somewhat artistic coois1 In point of numbers the biggest exhibit In the building Is that of birred Plj mouth Rocks There are just 185 of these hand some fowls In the cages and they are almost without vpi-ntloa ot excellent quality. In this class also Is the largest exhibit of cockerels , with about sixty birds competing ALL BflBEpS Iini'ltCSENTED. The Light Biamahs are next In force , 155 strong. These birds seem to be popular with the visitors and arc regarded as forming a very superior exhibit. Next to these are placed the single comb Brown Leghorns , in which class there are 12. ! birds competing. There Is an elegant display of Buff Coc/'iins and also of the Partridge Cochins The lat ter class Includes pome of the prettiest birds In the building. The penciling on some of the pullets is a veritable piece of nature's art amiwould iilcfy the skill of an artist to Imitate. - " The Langshan exhibit Is fairly well filled and the birds are considered of better qual ity than the ordinary. The White Cochins are only represented by a few cages , but what there are are exceptlonallj good birds There Is a fine display of the Daik Bramahs , and In the Black Minorcas there Is twice as big an exhibit as was ever before shown In Nebraska. The various classes of Wjati- dottes arc also well represented , the exhibits ranking well In quality. The fact that the fair Is held a few weeks earlier than usual Is pattlally responsible for the fine showing of bantams The moult ing time has not anlved and this jcar the birds are In all the glorj1 of their full plumage. Aside from that , the exhibit is somewhat better than usual , ami with the children In particular is one of the most popular attractlcns The pigeons are also especial favorites with the smaller visitors There Is a big exhibit of these birds , cover ing a dozen varieties , some of which are new to the bulk of the visitors. Down In the east end of the building the geese , ducks and turkeys hold full sway There aie turkeys In bronze , buff and white , of all sizes and degrees of merit. One cage contains a brace of genuine wild turkejs , which remind the old inhabitants of the days when along the Missouri valley the birds furnished spoil fit for a Mng. There Is a particularly full display ot heavy turkejs , ROIUO of them big enough to furnish a Thanksgiving dinner for a whole- Sunday school , There Is Iho finest exhibit of geese ever shown In the west , In which a big pair of Touloi'so birds are tlie most prominent They tip tlio scales at twenty-five pounds each and with their thick flufly coats of buff and white make as handsome a showing as any cage In the building The ducKs are also well icpresented and in this class a material Im provement In quality is also noticed For the past two dajs the visitors have acen hampered somewhat by the presence of the Judges , but their work was nil fin ished at closing tlmo last night , and heio- after the exhibit will remain for the exclu sive amusement of the admlicis of flno stock ti feathers.

Mai tin of Missouri was emplojed as expert judge of Jersey cattle. Just befoie starting for Omaha he had the misfortune : o step on a rusty nail , but as the wound ivas not apparently a serious one , It elid not letci him from coming on to assume his lutles On nrihlnij here the foot began to lain him and he rapidly grew worse. Yes terday morning the- wound assumed dan gerous symptoms and the surgeon who was called In decided that unless an operation re performed at once there was danger of lockjaw. The operation was performed and while the danger from this source Is thought to be passed , another dangerous symptom has developed. During the after noon symptoms of paralj-sls developed and In splto of all efforts to relieve him , Mr. MarIn - In lapldly grew worse As soon as ho real- zed his condition ho rcqucstoel to be sent ionic , but the disease developed so rapidlj hat this was Impossible. Last evening he was steadily growing worse and the attend- ng phjslclans were fearing thu worst.
