ADDISON CoUNNY FAIR,

The premium list of the county fair,
which closed on Friday night of last
week, is printed on an inside gage. 1t
tells who had the best exhibits in all de-
partments.
Threatening weather on Friday kept
the crowd away, though in the afternoon
as many were on the grounds as had
often been seen there previous to this
year But the attendance of Thursday
was so big that it seemed small Friday.
1t was said, and was unquestionably true,
that there never was so great number
in town as on Thursday. The grand
stand was damned and most of the avail
able standing room in the vicinity of the
track fully occupied. After the races
were over the streets downtown were
full of vehicles and Chief of Police Chap
man devoted his energies for two hours
to preventing jam on the Main street
creek bridge.
The following are summaries of the
races of Thursday afternoon:

Owing to the bad weather on Friday
the receipts were reduced to such an ex-
tent as not to cover fully the expenses
and increased premiums. The officers OF
the society are to be congratulated on
the general success of the fair, which
was the best for many years, if not in
the history of the institution.
