Bigger and better every year seems
to be the rule with our county fair as
ISOLATION. That the association has
been we'll managed is apparent, but
the element of luck has also been with
the society for series of years. This
year the very stars in their courses
worked for the county show, bringing
it cool wave without rain Thursday,
just when it was most needed, and con-
tinuing just right up to the close.
While it would be extravaganza to
say that nothing about the fair could
have been bettered, it is mid state
ment, that the mass of those who at
tended were more than pleased with
the fair as a whole.
To our mind, the most conspicuous
feature was the hearty good will with
which exhibitors co-operated with the
management in making a display
worthy of the county. There never
has been SO good display of veget-
ables and farm produce on the
grounds, and the showing of domestic
and artistic features has hardly been
approached heretofore, partly for lack
of building.
| Not so much can be said of the stock
departments. Several entries in these
classes failed to show up on the
ground. Even President Tyson and
Mr., Charter, who have been the stand
bys for several years, failed to get out
their stock to the usual extent, though
the Polled Angus herd of the former
was we'll represented. The Willard
farm, as usual, came to the front with
a good display, thanks to Mr.. Lance.
The list of awards shows the premi-
UNI takers in all the classes, but of
course does not include the names of
many who made exhibits of decided
merit. Judges are necessarily not in
fallible, but it is evident that they were
unprecedented and tried to be fair, and
that the only purpose of the manage
mcnt was to do justice to all exhibitors.
In floral hall the great attraction
was tho shell collections of Mrs. W.. P.
Huntington and Mrs. Till Tibbetts.
Both collections were revelation to
the initiated. The display by Mrs.
Tibbetts had "River Shells spelled
out in polished shells of pure white at
the top of the case, and the novel ar
rangement of tho collection in this
and other respects contributed towards
Mrs. Tibbetts' success. The shell ma
MIA has really left practical results in
several of our households. Nothing in
the fancy work line, aside from paint
ing, can compare with these beautiful
shells.
The ball game between the Redwood
and Marshall clubs was entered into
with the old-time determination on
both sides, but the lead gained by the
'Redwoods in the second inning was
decisive, and it was apparent that our
battery was too swift for the visitors
The latter hung on with good natured
pertinacity, and little loose play
ing toward the last saved themselves
from shut out. The following is the
score, by innings:
Redwood Falls @ 5 OOO14 x-12
Marshall 5000 | 3 0 o.
Struck out by Dixon, IL; McFadyen
| l, Heoly 5; Base on balls, Dixon 7,
