and Ut16I VlSo.
The annual agricultural and industri-
al fair of the Brown County Agricultu-
raj Society was held in and around
Turner Hall last Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday forenoon was devoted to the
entry and arrangement of exhibits, and
the fair was not formally opened until
2 o'clock p. m. Although the weather
after nine o'clock was warm and
pleasant the attendance of visitors
from the country was extremely small
on Saturday. The exhibits were near
~ all in place when the opening hour
arrived, and those that did visit the
fair on Saturday afternoon no doubt
enjoyed themselves much better than
those that came on the day following.
Sunday opened rather inauspiciously
and for time it was feared that an all
day rain would set in, but about nine
o'clock it cleared off and the sun came
out bright and warm. During the fore
noon the several awarding committees
met in the exhibition halls and before
the crowd arrived the disagreeable
work of awarding the premiums had
been done. Soon after the noon hour
a regular stream of humanity set in to-
wards Turner Hall and by three o clock
standing room in the hall was at pre-
MUM, although owing to the extreme
heat many did not linger long. The
crowd enjoyed themselves as personal
inclination dictated. Some inspected
the exhibits, others watched the sewing
machine expert perform on two ma
chimes at once, while many fingered in
the hall to listen to the music of the
City Band. At about 5 o'clock p. m.
Mr.. h. L. Runk, president of the soci-
ETY.. mounted the stage and delivered
the annual address. Mr.. Runk spoke
in German. He deprecated the fact
that so few of the farmers participated
in these annual gatherings, and hoped
the futurity would bring forth a better
state of affairs. He also said that a
farmer that did not take local paper
and thus keep posted in prices could
never hope to succeed. Owing to the
confusion in the rear part of the hall,
much of Mr.. Runk's speech was inau-
dable. He was nevertheless heartily
applauded at the close. At the close of
Mr.. Runk's remarks Nh. B. Juni step.
ped forward and read the list of premi-
nm Awards. This formally closed the
fair and the exhibitors at once began
packing up. Fruits and melons were
quickly disposed of in the crowd, it is
needless to say. We understand that
the fair was decided financial success
and that all premiums were promptly
paid on the spot.
