he Mercantile Display the Finest in Ma
% ny Years.
q The twenty fifth annual Fair Of the
Brown County Agricultural Society
opened auspiciously on Friday and con-
88lnued encouragingly until Sunday even
ing. The attendance from outside of
#own and especially around Sleepy Eye
vas particularly large and demonstrated
hat the Fair is by no means growing in
10 disfavor. ..s -.-....
e The show itself was we'll worth seeing.
}rom farmers standpoint it excelled
8ver former Fairs and there were enou oh
antrles in the vegetable, grain and fruit
me to keep the agricultural critic busy
or some time.
aThe efforts of the merchants however
ttracted the greatest atten tion. Wag-
aer & Saverein has neat corner display
I dining room furniture, arranged just
Stone would like to have it in his home
'eter Moeger exhibited his merchant tai
or goods and also band made quilts and
carpets. Miss Graft of Sleepy Eye was
-ept busy showing the ladies the finest
Iisplay of art needle work that has ever
4 cen seen in New Ulm, and Andrew J..
icksteln attracted the onlookers with a
plendid collection of medicinal roots,
erbs and drugs. The pains taking in
preparing this display was certainly meri-
yorious.
Crone Bros. occupied the centre of the
lall with magnificent exhibit of furs
md overcoats that everybody noticed
nd everybody continued to talk about,
While Emil Wicherski made a neat show
ng of shoes and slippers. F. W. Hau-
nstein did himself credit through his
ayout Of silverware, and his eagle dis
>lay, made of knives, forks and spoons,
vas especially deserving of praise and at
ontion. VIM. A. Rhode was represen-
ed by a collection Of merchant tailor
roods and F. Burg with case of cigars
f his own manufacture.
John F. Neumann had the onlv dis
'lay of ,lressgoods and trimmings and
he ladies who arranged it are entitled to
he honor of having eclipsed all displays
f similar sort that have been made in
ecent years. 1t was really artistic.
The City Drug Store of W. Il. Alvin
las also represented and in a manner
hat the patrons of the Fair will not soon
orget. Fine exhibits of stationery,
photographs of famous paintings, Au-
ora wines, Uncle Sans Monogram and
}est Tonic made up the exhibit and in
uch way that the people could not
telp but say that it was fine.
Mrs. Follmann also made very prct-
y display of millinery goods in mag
ihcent well care, manufactured by Hen
y Koehler.
The art gallery was crowded with
paintings, pen and pencil sketches and
he photograph collections of Sattler &
Meyer and H. Manderteld. Both of these
we're very fine, Manderfeld'5 being az
"anged on revolving case.
Of ladies' and children's handwork
here was an endless amount and among
he entries were quite a few that bore
.vidences of great skill.
4 collection, however, that held the
rowd better than anything else was the
'Xhibit of taNedermy that had been az
anged by Eugene Koehler and John G.
1cigcr, This consisted of all the speci-
mems that could be secured in town and
mong them were two deer, two fawn, a
lrgc buffalo head, minks, weasels, squir-
els, an alligator, swans, owls, herons,
ga gull, loon, mergansers, red head,
in tail, long tail, canvas back and wood
Iucks, wldgeons, green winged teal, and
n0llards. Also d fine collection of
mailer birds. The exhibit was educa-
ional in its nature and the designers
yere entitled to the thanks of the asso-
iation for the trouble to which they
vent in preparing it.
Fair Notes,
The Fair drew the largest number of
