The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1896-09-17


throughout. the Manitowoc county fair
was success beyond expectation. The
attendance was light on Thursday, but
on Friday the grounds were swarmlng.
That was Cbildren's Day and also the
big day. The iakirs and side shows were
busy, but the horse racing was rather IN
ferior. The crowd present on Saturday
was fair, though by no means what 1t
was on Friday.
The exhibition of stock was very good
indeed, rather above the average. The
stalls were well filled and the animals
were of good quality. Though there
were some vacant places III the EXPOSE
ton Hall, the exhibits were numerous
and very fine. Agricultural Hall was
much better filled than ordinarily. The
exhibition of grain, fruit and root crops
was quite credltable to the county.
WHILE the races were not of the most
speedy kind they were all good and quite
holly contested. Not all the horses en-
tering took part, but a sufficient number
did to make the races interesting. The
county race was a good one and the
horses made good time.
