The entries were nearly five hundred
in number, and nearly every article en-
tered was placed ON exhibition.
The attendance on the last day was
about 5000, the gate receipts for the en- |
tire fair being S914.65; and although |
the receipts of the exhibition were fairly |
large, being 81 ,254.54. the expenditures
upon the grounds and buildings were so |
large as to leave the financial success or |
failure of the fair matter of doubt. |
The difference either way, however, will |
not be large.
Later developments indicate surplus
in the receipts.
Great praise and thanks are due the |
management. for the efforts they made |
in every way possible to ensure the sue
cess of the enterprise. No pains were |
spared, and each of them inconveninced |
himself in its behalf Everybody |
acknow lodges it to have been as com
plete a success as it could have been,
and congratulates the management ac- |
cordingly.
The music for the occasion was fur |
nished by the home band, the bows, as |
usual, acquitted themselves finely.
There were very few accidents, the
horses even being apparently enthused
with the prevalent spirit of good be-
havior
The evidences of the growth and /
health of the resources of Southwestern /
Wisconsin. in all branches of industry
was betokened in the quality of the en-
tries and the interest felt in the success
of the fair by the number of them. All
may now seethe favorable effect it has on
such an enterprise to have each one feel
an interest therein and make an effort
in its behalf, for, however good the
management, such occasions never
reach complete success without the
assistance of the masses.
