ceSSful, and successful TO degree lar De-
yond their expectation. The crowd had
been estimated as being from ten to twelve
thousand, and certain that there were
many more than on the previous day.
This had not been expected by some, but
the fact, surprising to some extent, was all
the more gratifying They commenced to
figure what great success the fair would
have been in every particular had they or
gained earlier in the season and given as
much diligent attention to it as they have
in the short time they have been working
on the one inaugurated The reflection
inspired confidence for the undertaking
next year, when everything would be COM
menced in time and conducted on a basis
that would bring about one of the finest
fairs of the west.
The leading feature of the crowd yester-
day was the school children and school
marms. The city schools closed at noon
for the week and most every one connected
with them reported at the fair on time for
pleasant afternoon. Judging from the
racket made by the children they must
have had a glorious time of it. The scuf
fling and running around may not have
been interesting or highly pleasing to a
certain per cent. of the crowd, but it was
well understood that it was children's day
and it was all right that it was and all
could afford to let the energy of the kids
60 in any direction it wanted TO. There
were quite a number of school children
from the county on hand. They seemed to
fall in very promptly and succeeded IN
making as much out Of it as any one. The
CREASED pole and water bucket perform
ances seemed to be enjoyed very much by
the young people.
There were quite a number Of country
people in attendance and the farmers
walked around among the ex-
hibits with a broad smile. One
would occasionally accuse some exhibitor
of taking corn out of his field for display.
but this was sly way of boasting of his
success in the corn business. The farmers
We're happy There is no doubt about it.
The refreshment stands reported good
business and the grounds were kept in
good order there being no dust and every
thing pleasant. There seemed to be no
kicks coming and none come The
crowd give the usual attention to the
exhibits in the various departments and
the blue ribbon fellows were only too glad
to respond courteously to every and any
inquiry. The exhibitors seemed to enjoy
the day as much as any one; glad to have
the people see what they had been doing.
Many of the awarding committees were
busy most of the day. In the forenoon it
was work of that kind all along the line
but in the afternoon some of them took
rest until today as they wanted to have
some fun oyer the races themselves. The
work as done yesterday in awarding
prizes seemed to give general satisfaction.
