The FAIR.-The 18th annual
Fair of the Mason County AgricuI-
tural and Mechanical Association.
held last week, was probably one
of the best the Association has ever
held, and in numbers of visito RS
compared favorably with any pre-
vious year. The rain and threat
ening weather kept many people
away on Wednesday. But Thurs
day being bright sunshiny day,
thousands of people were on the
grounds, and on Friday as well
The exhibits of fine horses, cattle
sheep and hogs were on a larger
scale than heretofore; the display
in agricultural Implements, buggies
and wagons, were much more
numerous than last year, the Floral
Hall was crowded with nice goods
of every kind and style, and fine
paintings and pencil work, the
work of our ladies. We never saw
so good display as there was in
the Hall this year. The Singer dis
play was one of the most attractive.
and the nice work of their machines
on exhibition, drew the attention
of the ladies. 1t is wonderful to
what perfection the Singer Compa
ny have brought their sewing
machines.
The races in running, trotting
any pacing, were as good as usual
Taking all in all, the Fair this
year was a grand success.
