b plot0 SUCCESS Of the
rs Undertaking. i
The first Street fair ever held in
Little Falls commenced today. The
question OF holding one was agi-
tated some time ago and was quick
~ taken up by the merchants. They
have been making extensive prepara-
tiops and outlaying considerable
money to try and make tho event a
success and it is fair to presume that
they will be successful in their efforts.
No means have been spared to at.
tract the farmer who is the main
stay OF the entire undertaking. He
has been offered various inducements
and prizes to make an exhibit of
anything he possesses that may be
OF interest to other people, and he
has done so.
The exhibition of grain and vege-
tables is, certainly excellent. 1t
ranges from an ordinary bean up to
a stock OF corn twelve feet high.
The samples of wheat, oats, bar
ley and grass are among the best
ever seen. ~ ~
The potatoes shown consist most
ly OF Ohio early-rose and burbanks.
The onions are chiefly white dinner,
silver king and red. They are GER
tainly beauties.
The melons, pumpkins, squashes,
beets, turnips and cucumbers shown
at the booths are well worth seeing.
1t seems surprising that they
can reach the dimensions some of
them do. The corn and pumpkin
exhibits are the most complete so
far. Others promise to equal them
in quality and standard.
The house plants are attracting
considerable attention. Some of
those shown must certainly be the
pride Of a household.
Among the best exhibits are those
OF fruit preserves. Judging from the
jars shown they must be put up by
Artists in that line.
The exhibition of fancy work In
front of the Fair store catches the
eye OF evevy passing lady.
The articles shown are beautiful.
The arrangement Of the exhibit Of
the various pieces of fancy work
presents an attractive display.
j. The men folks are taking consider
able interest in the fowls OF various
sorts shown in the Close block.
Each Kind has been placed in a
screened cage out of harms way so
that people exhibiting them can feel
assured of the safety of their
animals.
The Granite company exhibits q
monument made of dark gray
granite in front of Rhodes & Staples
office.
Anderson Bros. display sled and
wagon of their own manufacture.
A Brainerd candy man, on Broad
way. supplies purchasers with
various kinds of candy made on the
spot.
Sewer & Company, of St. Cloud
have on exhibition patent forge.
1t is a portable contrivance that in.
terests the farmers.
Among the booths which seem to
interest the spectators, artistically
inclined, most is the one of amateur
photography in front of P. F.
Hosch's establishment. Local
kodak hends have made good use OF
this opportunity and display some
very neT:pictutes. Royalton also
has a hand in the deal and exhibits
some fine amateur work. %<>5
There are displays of various
other articles, products and manu-
factories worthy of mention but
time will not permit to make separ.
ate mention OF each and every one OF
them. All are attracting their share
OF attention and are equally patron.
Fized.
During the entire day those in the
city have been amused. by various
performances. The North Echo
Band has been furnishing music.
Gorton's band accompanying his
show, was out, on the street and
played some excellent, selections.
Prof. Sheppard, the trick, bicycle
rider, gave an exhibition of wheel
riding the first part Of the afternoon.
One Of. his feats is riding down a
stairs 80 steps high which he does
with comparative ease. He will
give an exhibition each day of the
fair. Prof. brakes celebrated coons
