A noticeable feature of this fair is the
entire absence of any exhibit of agricul-
tural implements. Nothing is shown
in class N except the sewing machines
and three vehicles-an open buggy and
a two-horse spring wagon made by John
Schanze and farm wagon from the fac
tory Of T. L. Ryan. 1t is needless to
say that in strength, durability and I'm
ish these vehicles amply sustain the rep
utation Of boil. these gentlemen as man
ufactureEs.
