Some Good Exhibits and Large At
tendance on both Days.
People Attend from all over the Coun-
~ and from Neigbborinq Towns.
The fair this year was O. financial sue.
cess, if nothing more. Fine weather
throughout added largely to the gate
receipts and the management will be
able to prepare for next years show
with surplus of considerable proper
tons. OF the fair itself and the exhib-
It's, It is only in frankness that we say
that it was not what it should have
been. After looking it all over, view
ing the various displays and noting the
' entire absence of much that has ap-
peared in former. exhibits, one would
be justified IN thinking that New Ulm
and Brown County ought to make a
better showing. There was lots of
room that was not taken, and next year.
we look for an Improvement In the
large hall as usual were stored the ex-.
hlbits Of vegetables, grains and fruits.
The specimens of grain were not very
numerous, but the fruit display was ex-
ceptlonally fine, Ernst Meyer, of Gold
en- Gate, having fourteen distinct yarle
ties of apples. An exhibit of various
kinds OF pumpkins and squash, ar
ranged SO as to have the appearance of
Bill Merriam or some other renowned
excellepcy, was also very good. and at.
tracted considerable attention. It was
prepared by Otto Schell.
The other hall was reserved for the
merchants. The displays were not as
extensive as last year, but those who
did exhibit showed taste and pains in
the arrangement of their goods, and
are deserving of credit for their efforts
to help along the Fair. Among the
principle ones were Fred Bebnke's dis.
play OF bottled beer, Brust & CRAFTS
exhibit of drygoods, A. j. Eckstein's
show OF plush cases, albums and the
like as well as of pianos and organs.
Miss HaxePs case of hair WORK, Roos'
display of drugs, and exhibits of cloth
ing from j. F. Neumann, organs from
y. M. Olson, stoves and machines from
Z. H. Hornburg, and boots and shoes
from E. Wicherski, all of which were
very well gotten up and received many
fine compliments. In the mechanical
line, the ship and furniture by Henry
koehler. the willow chair and baskets
by g. Eisenbeck, and the plumbers
work by Richter & Son showed unusual
skill and were worthy of commenda,ory
mention. The large amount of fancy
work was also deserving Of special note
together with the exhibit from the
schools, which like that of last wear, TO
many appeared to be the most interest
ing in the hall 1t embraced the work
OF scholars from four to ten years of
age and certainly gave credit to both
them and their teachers.
In the art gallery there was much
that caught the eye of the visitors. Scat.
tered about the room and over the
walls were displays of photographs from
Anton Gag and j. F. CroweIl and
paintings and sketches by various par
ties. Among them were the produce
tons OF anton Gag, including his paint.
lngs OF scenes around Redwood Fails.
sketches and paintings of Alexander
ochwendlnger, portrait paintings BY
Setter u Fischer and Others by Miss
Doehne. Mrs. Mowery, Airs. Schr.der
OF Essig, c. Hellar and Bertha Hers,
aged only ten years. All were exhibit
tons OF skill with the brush and were
viewed with interest by everybody
who entered the room.
The stock show was not up to even
tue average. What there was of it was
first class, but it was altogether TOO
small. and we again repeat, what has
often been said before, thatit is a shame
that our farmers don't take enough in
lerest in their cattle and horses to show
and advertise them at the county Fair.
