centre in the racing Some of the
sourdoughs will enjoy j the exhiibts

be3t Eskimo seamstresses ot the
Seward Peninsula. There will be
an assortment of pa; XIos of varied
patterns and colors, and bead v.• rk
and many d fferent kinds of lauk
luks: mif’ens, :;ii > and fur caps.
All the pieces of fur clothiug are
examined roost thoroughly by the
old men and women who throw out
those with any flaws, so only A
No. 1 articles are shown.
Perhaps the fur tailors at Sliish
marel’, where John Paul Jones, a
former Nomeite is teacher, have
the best chance of winning blue
ribbons. Shishmaref has for sev
eral years oeen known for the
careful workmanship and artistic
quality of its fur goods.
After the prizes have been award
ed the natives dispose ot^ the^ay
apparel, and the white persons on

chased at a Reindeer Fair—the one
held at Noatak lest year.
