Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1866-10-19
OUR CEDAR FALLS FAIR.

promptu, in abont ten days time -
not having been proposed until one
fortnight beforehand. In view OF thii
fact, it astonished everybody with it:
great results, quite exceeding the re
cent County Fair at Waterloo. Wha
Cedar Falls does, she does up quick
and strong. Strangers from Dubuque
Independence, and elsewhere, express
ed themselves highly pleased with tht
whole spirit Of the exhibition.
There were 202 entries made, which
was very good number, considering
that fancy articles, which count up fast
were not included on this occasion
The number in attendance at the en-
closure on "Wednesday was about 5000
while the city itself was at the same
time full of people besides. We count
cd at one time l91 carriages inside the
gate, mostly having two horses; and
the saddle horses would make up the
number of horses to fully 400. The
Omnibus line did a good business driv.
ing back and forth; and the Iowa Cen.
trail Band in their fine wagon, went te
and fro, discoursing the finest music
A good high fence has just been erec t.
ed all along the front of the Fair
Grounds; and the other arrangements
were got up in admirable shape by the
officers, who deserve much praise for
the eminent success of the exhibition.
