FAIR NOTES.

Next year there will be three days
fair. Two days is not enough.
: Glenn Howard's owl in a cage at
tracted a great deal of attention.
Division I was sadly neglected, as
Mrs. Barker, superintendent of that
department was absent in Minneapolis.
Genial, big j. P. Taylor was up from
Anoka and remained from the start tc
the finish. Mr.. Taylor was one of the
judges of the races. =" &4 :. a..
Jeff Gray, F. L. Reubeck, Bill Jane.
son and Fred Stimson drove over from
Elk River, Saturday. They expressed
themselves as we'll pleased. :..
Messrs. Prescott and Lowell, oil
Spencer Brook, manifested great
deal of interest in the fair and were
awarded several premiums.
The Princeton Roller Mills made a
snowy exhibit of mill products. The
exhibit was a good advertisement for
the mill and the town as we'll.
Will Bidwell was the right man in
the right place as superintendent oil
the poultry division. A fine showing
was made in this department..
Although Milaca was not very well
represented the officers of the associa,
ton appreciate the gratuitous adver.
Using given the fair by the Times.
Hon. H. F. Barker and Editor Van.
Wormer, of Cambridge, were on the
grounds both days and were heartily
greeted by their many old friends.
Superintendent who did not wish tc
serve should have notified the fair of.
ficers. Care will be taken next year to
appoint none but those who will serve.
President R. F. Mcclellan is entitled
to and should receive credit for his un.
firing efforts. To him more than to
any other man is due the success of the
fair.
Had it not been for Mrs. Mcclellan,
Mrs. Cordiner and one or two other
ladies, division O-plants and flowers
would have been a blank. AS it was
there was very good exhibit.
The famous EARLY Everitt potato is
fast coming into favor in this vicinity.
There were half a dozen exhibits of
this variety. By the way, the Everitt
this year excels all other varieties in
size and yield. .5
Hon. H. E. Craig, of Orrock, at
tended both days, and was kept busy
shaking hands with his host of friends.
Mr.. Craig was one of the live stock
judges and he performed his work we'll
and in manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
The Prescott family of Wyanette,
had a good exhibit of garden truck and
we are glad to know they carried off
their share of premiums. John Pres
colt had two of the largest squashes
ever grown in this section of the State
on exhibition-one weighed 1879 lbs and
the other 159 lbs. a.,
Thanks to the kind offices of Gov.
Nelson the fair association received its
share ($24O) of the fund appropriated
to aid county fairs. Application should
have been made to the State Auditor
last April and this was not done. But
the State officers stretched point in
our favor. Thanks, many thanks, gen
tlemen.
The live stock notes were written by
Hon. c. H. Chadbourne. Mr.. Chad
bourne manifests lively interest in
everything that tends to the improve
ment and advancement of the farmers.
He says he likes to see the farmers get
together, talk over matters that inter-
ests them and have a good time. Mr..
C. donated all premiums awarded him
and the creamery company to the fair
association. ~ .s.s.
