THE BROWN COUNTY FAIR.
Financially it was a Success and: will Les
sen the society's Debts.
The Exhibit as far asst Went was Good,
but there was not enough Of It.
The Crowd which Attended on Sunday
was an Unusually Large one.
Numerous Among them were the Seekers

After Office and Votes.
The twenty ty-secondAnnual Fair of the
Brown County Agricultural Society
opened on Friday and continued without
much excitement until Sunday evening.
The first two days were marked by only
a slim attendance, but Sunday afternoon
the people came in from the country in
crowds and by night the Golfers of the
gate keepers were heavy with quarters.
Financial success is the only word that
can be applied to the show. Last year
the management ran into the hole to the
extent of about $500, but this year they
will be able to cut that down some, the
net income being in the neighborhood Of
5000. This should be of some encour-
agement to the officers and directors and
next year an effort should be made to do
still better and at the same time have q
better Fair. It can be done if sthe CO..
koperation of New Ulm citizens is not
found wanting.
/ AS to the exhibit itself, it was good
#hat is, what there was of it. There was
loo little interest taken, however, in
showing what we have to show, and the
visitors found very little to entertain
Them. A few of the merchants neverthe-
less manisfested enterprise sufficient to
decorate the small hall, and their exhib-
Its were in every sense creditable. Chief
hmong them was the beautiful stand of
N Henningsen 81 Co., covered with an
arch bearing the words ssCity DrugStsre," )"
IAN elegant line Of perfumes, tastily ar
ranged, 8gether with a neat display Of
fancy goods, constituted their exhibit
md made it source Of attraction to all
who visited the Fair. Directly in front
of them was the department. awarded to
Baer g Setter Those gentlemen had
succeeded in arranging a creditable exhi-
bition Of stoves of different varieties
which could rot have failed to advertise
their business. Hcnle s. gMarti were
represented in we'll arranged display Of
fine harness, whips and carriage robes,
while II. Goede advertised delicious
cheese that was enough to make a mans
mouth water for a "just a little" taste.
WichersH had prepared a neat arrange
ment of the latest styles of footwear
Gebser occupied one corner with an at
tractive stand, setting forth his we'll Sc
lected line of plush goods, albums, bask-
cts and wall paper. Crone Bros. were
represented in another corner with speci-
men. styles in fur coats, oyercoats and
ladies cloalls and jackets. Dayton
showed and operated pianos, organs and
sewing machines, and the New Ulm Vim
egar works ditplayed eight different kinds
of vinegar of their own manufacture.
The exhibit by the schools swas particular
ly ornamental and interesting. 1t tinelu-
ded the bound work of the pupils of the
various grades, and also collections of
cereals. curios, sets Of anatomical models
and human skulls. Around these the
people hovered with considerable inter
est.
In the large hall were the vegetable,
fruit and grain~exhibits. Whilenot up to.
the showing made in former years, they
would nevertheless hold their own
against the products of other counties
and were well worth looking at. The
stock exhibit on the other hand was very
poor, in that it consisted of only a few
animals, and let it be said for the bene-
fit of the farmers that they make a mis-
take when they fail to bring their stock
to these annual exhibits and learn from
each other the best methods of stock-rais-
ing
The art gallery was perhaps the most
inviting nook Of the hall Here were
sto be found fine painting sketches, re-
lies, photograph and interesting collec-
tions of insects and birds A large paint
ing by schwendinger occupied one wall
and scattered about the room were paint
ings by Mrs. McKittrick, Miss Doehne,
Mrs. Albert Setter, Mrs. MoWery and Miss
Allie Scherer. Anton Gag showed two
large frames Of photos ond Gottfried
.Hoehne exhibited specimen Of his skill
as taxidermist in stuffed wild goose.
