Company AS masquerade ball, in
Union Hall, last Saturday evening, was
grand social and financial success.
The hall was crowded with spectators
and merry maskers, many of the latter
having, for time, to content them.
selves with standing room. The num-
Der of maskers was quite large, but the
ladies again predominated.
The grisly bear. trained dog, trainer
and organ grinder were conspicuous
figures, and created much amusement.
Four young ladies in huge flour sacks
represented the four mills of the city
and quite we'll did they carry out their
part. The Kentucky minstrel troupe
made music for the million, and very
sweet music it was too. Two finely
gotten up topsies were vainly looking
for lawyer Marks. A dozen green
emigrant women, each with a fortune
of from $4,000 to $4,000. stopped a
short time in the hall en- route to
Dakota in quest of hus-
bands. The maskers were so numer-
Gus and the crowd 40 dense that to de-
scribe the various characters infinitely
would be impossible. Suffice to say
that the ball was success and that ali
participants enjoyed themselves hugely.

The Sleepy Eye Herald volunteers
the following for the benefit of the
Brown County Agricultural Society:
The Brown County Agricultural So
ciety are going to make special efforts
this year to get up q fair that's worthy
of the name. What they have lacked
most of all is first-class manager, one
VINO has good talent for organization
and an appreciation of what is necessa-
ry in going to work in getting the peo-
pile interested. Before there ever will
be q respectable fair in this county it
must be fair for the whole county.
Ii the farmers from the country do not
come in to organize it, get them in.
They haven't advertised their fair here.
tofore, to any greater extent than they
would advertise dance. We can also
give them another pointer; they never
can make a success of any county fair
that is held on Sunday. That may do
for people who like that sort of thing,
but there are too many people in Brown
county who remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy" and as long as the
farce of holding fair on Sunday is con-
tinued they are going to keep away.
Perhaps the society as it now stands
thinks such notions are all nonsense.
but that does not alter the circumstan-
ces. The fact remains that these peo-
pie do not come, and that is the thing
for us to consider. The Sunday ques-
ton is not the question before the So
ciety; it is the question of success. Our
advice is to gather them all in by wise
and vigorous management.
If our friend of the Herald would have
stopped moment to enquire into the
personnel of the society as now consti'
tuted, he would have soon been con.
vinced that considerable new blood has
been infused and that at least portion
of the managers. possess the requisite
push and energy to make the coming
county fair an unqualified success
which, if they follow out the programm.
mapped out by Mr.. Heideman, tn,
energetic treasurer of the society, the,
are bound to do.
