tions outside of the agricultural and
hall exhibit were numerous and very
fetching, but the agricultural exhibit
and even the hall exhibits were very in
ferior to those of the State fair. Cattle
and sheep were not to be mentioned the
same day with ours. The crowd was a
big one $4,000 to 40, 900 each day, and
this is what brings the money in.
