THE NINETEENTH | ANNUAL fair.
Financially and O otherwise It
Was a Fair Success.
The People Of the County
were here in Numbers.

The Brown County Fair opened on
Friday and continued with GOOD sue
cess till Sunday evening. All that could
be desired in the shape of fair weather
attended the management during the
first two days and large crowds Aocked
into town in consequence. Friday was
devoted to preparation and in the halls
halls all was hustle and hum. Entering
OF stock and exhibits kept the superin
PENDANTS busy and in rush, and by
night every space was we'll filled with
attractive features. Saturday dawned
with the brightest prospects. The
streets were crowded with vehicles from
all parts of this and other counties and
the morning train from the west brought
With 1t a host of visitors. The G. A. r.
reunion had its attractions and Hecker
Post met at the depot the posts of Red
wood, Lam berton, Springfield and
Sleepy Eye in goodly numbers. Red
wood and Springfield were especially
well represented, the former being ac-
companied by the Daughters of the
Veterans. A procession was formed
and the visitors escorted to the Fair
Grounds, where they were received by
Mayor Rudolph in pleasants peech Of
welcome.
The afternoon. after exercises in the
park and short speech by Congress
man Lind, was devoted to inspection of
the halls and stock yards. In the main
building were the productions of farm
and orchard in abundant variety. The
best yields of every class Of grain and
vegetable were displayed to best advan-
tage and as many as sixteen separate
exhibits of wheat could be seen, while
the grape display was said TO rival that
at the state fair. Apples, plums and
other luscious and tempting fruit, pota-
toes OF every size and variety, squashes
and pumpkins of surprising mould
all these filled the hall to we'll nigh
overfowing and made the locker on
think that if all Minnesota could pro-
duce as well, 1t would verify be a garden
spot and Brown County its richest cor
ner.
From this display of natures growth
the visitor is transferred to one of mans
own handiwork in the adjoining hall.
Here the merchants of the CITY We'd
with each other in attracting attention
and as result many of the exhibits
were novel and interesting. 10 the
right OF the entrance and the first TO
attract notice was the immense floral
display Of Christian Boock. comprising
flowers and plants every specie, taste
fully and prettily arranged and with
pleasing effect. 70 the left was that of
the drygoods firm of Brust & Graft.
presented in attractive form, while d.
rectly in front stood large show case
representing the business of C. L. Roos.
1t was dlstinctively a drug display
andssgave evidence of care and pains
taking in collection and arrangement.
On the east side of the hall were the ex-
hibits OF p. Wicherski in boots and shoes,
Henle & Marti, in all that pertains to a
harness shop, B. Behnke & Co., in
a beautiful display of dress goods,
and p. w. Baer in stoves and
tin ware. At each of these the visi-
tors fingered and examined, then
wandered to the next. The lower end
OF the hall was occupied by F. w.
Hauenstein, who advertised his business
by nicely laid case of jewelry and sill
yer ware as well as with the Kimball or
gans and pianos. Along the opposite
side OF the building and through the
5 centre were arranged the displays of
/ Andrew }. Eckstein in musical instru-
ments and toilet sets, which formed one
of the incest exhibits in the hall, and of
j. B. Arnold in stoves and ranges. Add.
ed to these was the home industry de.
partment, to which we would call spe.
cial attention. In this were represented
the manufactures of B. Marschner in
wooden goods, which, considering the
grade of the article, do not receive the
patronage they deserve. Although
somewhat coarse, the goods are of better
quality than much that is sent away 70,
and the industry should be encouraged
In another quarter were the earthen
wares of j. Stoeckert while from another
corner came the delightful odoc Of the
fragrant Havana placed on the market
by the large cigar mandatory of F
Burg. These with the bottled produc
tons Of 81. Frenzel were freely tested
by the judges and pronounced good.
