We were also unable to obtain the premiums
awarded in this class
The Good Thunder band assisted ma
terially in entertaining the crowd. 1t is
an excellent organization.
The only exhibitors from Mankato
were Geo, B. Owen, whose Estey organ
took the first premium; A. w. Bean,
who exhibited the celebrated White
sewing machine; and Richert & Lamber-
ton, whose photograph gallery was rep
resented by some splendid specimens
of work.
Mrs Loring, formerly of this city, had
some very attractive and beautiful de-
signs in clay and butter. Among var
iety of other ingenius things she exhlb-
tied mat made of the silks of 900 ears
of corn.
Mrs. Geo. Goodhall and MIS-. T. B
Church had fine EXHIBITS of large var
iety of potted flowers in full bloom
Mrs. Mems, of Vernon, had display Of
cut flowers, and Mrs. Crane one of cut
flowers and also some excellent paint
ings.
Norman Beebe, whose factory is locat-
ed halfway between Lake Crystal and
MaDkato, showed some factory and dai
ry cheese, two entries of each, that
challenged the admiration of all. He
makes his cheese by process which in
sures the using Of all the cream in the
milk, and he uses a severe discrimina-
ton in the choice of his milk. The re-
suit Is certainly very fine article of
cheese.
For the first time the Poor Farm had
an exhibit of its products, including DO
tatoes, corn, onions etc. The corn was
raised on thirty acres that was last win
ter piece of woodland, and fine crop
was secured. The various products
were the equal if not the superior of any
other exhibits of similar nature at the
fair, and certainly reflect credit upon
the manager, VIM. Lewis. This exhibit
should hereafter be made at every fan
and consplciously labeled.
The ladies of the Christian church
furnished excellent meals on the
grounds. Their building was popular
place and it is evident that they coined
a goodly number of dollars for their
worthy cause. The young ladies of the
church waited on the table.
Maj. Evans had dig rush during the
last two days, but easily took care of all
who made demands upon his hospi
tality.
The candidate was omnipresent, and
he who was not present was rare ex'
caption. 1t was too good an opportu
nifty to meet the farmer to be lost.
Notwithstanding the rain of Thursday
the road from this city to Garden City
was in splendid condition, and a grea
many teams drove over. The travel BY
train was ANAL, owing to it's inconyen'
ence.
The president and secretary, R. L
Houk and j. R. Thompson, proved tc
be the right men in the right places
Ever gentlemanly and courteous to all
they made many friends. Tho report
ers have to thank them for their kline
accommodation.
