There was about seven hundred persous in attendance, and the opening of the Fair was enlivened by most excellent music, furnished by the K. of Honor Band, of this city. The Band marched into the grounds at the bead of the teach CTS and pupils of the Monticello Graded School, which came two abreast and made line of about 200 yards in length.
 The morning of the first day was devoted to seelng and arrang- ing the displays in the different departments. The agricultural display is the best that has been exhibited for years. It is simply grand, and demonstrates beyond any question that Drew county is one ot the best agricultural eoun- ties to be found and possesses the most practical and experienced farmers.
