THE FAIR,

CCSSs
The Sixth Annual fair of the Cheboy-
gan County Agricultural Society opened
at the grounds of the Driving Park,
Wednesday. and closed yesterday after
noon. The weather was quite cold, and
sadly interfered with the exhibit and
but notwithstanding. we are
glad to say the exhibit was success,
and credit to our county and the fair
a success financially. The gate receipts
were something over $780, and from
the sale of membership tickets quite a
sum was realized, Several of our mer-
chants contributed very much to the
display. H. ]. Miner, the clothier, made
quite an attractive exhibit of goods in
his line. DR., Perrin had his cabinet of
the taxidermist's art on exhibition. and
it was the center of attraction. A. l..
Fexer made fine display of watches,
clocks, and jewelry. l.. T. Limpert had
a case well filled with elegant jewelry,
making fine display. A. w. Westgate &
Sons were on hand with nicely arran-
ged case of fine shoes. O.. M. Clement
made fine display of samples of his
stock of fine shoes. Vim. Erratt & Co.
had coOkstoves and heating stoves. Nc
Donald & Cueny harvesting machines
hay rakes, etc. The Ladies Guild of st.
James church, and the ladies of the In
dependent Church Union were present,
with handsome display of needle and
fancy work. Among the interesting
relics We noticed two large volumes,
ancient specimens of the Art Preserva-
tive, exhibited by Father DeSmedt, of
st. Mary's church. One was printed in
1920 and the other in 1867. Francis
Stead also exhibited small volume,
printed about as early. DR.. Perrin also
had soma interesting relics OH eXhibi-
ton. W. Z. Vanderbilt had full repre-
sentation of organs and various musi-
c'l instruments from his store OH Third
| Street.
The exhibit of fruit and vegetables,
grain. ETC., while not so large as some
of the former fairs, was very fine, what
there was of it. Apples, pears, grapes,
crab apples, plums, elegant and luscious
specimens, potatoes, large and hand
some. of several varieties, Wheat. oats
corn, buckwheat. of the finest quality
pumpkins, mammoth in size; celery
equal to the best; carrots, beets, cabbage

squash, turnips, parsnips, in fact, the
whole vegetable family was there, thai
would be hard to excel in any section Of
the country. The live stock exhibition
while not as numerous as it should have
been, was very fine, and attracted con
siderable attention. There was abOu
200 entries altogether. The COLI
weather prevailing the entire time
prevented many from attending.
