Nellie carried her head high and did
!, com nonplace things III most dramatic
N Inner. Whenever she passed one OF
J her competitors she played hobby horse
. for time allowing the horse in the rear
to recover mis- former position. Then
! Nellie would forge ahead again and
when in view OF the horse passed would
pretend to be rocking horse for few
! minutes until Bessie with dignified leis-
ure was again ahead. The spectators
called Nellie's performances breaks, y
ut that term is in no sense descriptive
OF the movement which was a sedate
form of L,erry making. Queen was the
''ornery looking" beast of the outfit, but
on the principle of handsome is as
handsome does" she was the queen of
the outfit. The time made was 445,
4:37 4:40. The purse was $50 and Bees
sic go some of it. Every one was glad
she did, as she was tailender against
who n no one had spite.

There was not a crush ON Saturday
but the attendance was very good. The
weather was ideal and was conducive to
restfulness. The grand stands We're I'M
usually well patronized considering the
size of the crowd. Interest, as on the
day preceding centered in the horse rae
ing.
The racing on Saturday was quite
good, In the $3.50 class five horses were
entered Cornelia, Vevette La Meta,

COUNTY FAIR NOTES.
Will Walkers CHEEKY laugh was heard
regularly in the grand stand whenever
he won a nickel on horse race
Circulars and other advertising mat
ter We're distributed on the fair grounds
with such profusion as to create a NUS
ance.
The balloon acension did not take place
on Saturday because the balloon took fire
while being inflated and was partially de-
stroyed.
James Taugher had one of the small
est milk bearing Jersey COWS in the state
at the county fair and got premium
on her.
The receipts of the county fair on Fri
day were within $25 of the total of the
fair of last year 1t was record breaker
without question.
The mayor issued orders that women
OF the town should not be permitted on
the Fair Grounds during the progress of
the fair The order was enforced though
the persons debarred made vigorous pro-
tests.
julie Lindstedt was a happy man when
the fair was over. He bore the burden
of responsibility with apparent disregard
only. When man works for the public
gratis, he is expected to do the impossi
BILE if that is necessary for success.
There was not much time lost III scor-
ing. When Mr.. Stone the starter an
nounced his purpose of doing something,
he did just that thing and the jockeys
had a wholesome fear of him and respect
ed him. The crowd highly appreciated
the business-like manner in which the
programme was carried out
Chris Muth, julie Lindstedt and Char
les Fechter, respectfully President, Sec
rotary and Treasurer of the County Ag-
ricultural Society have reason to feel
proud of their success They carried the
load and through them the waning af-
fairs of the society were brought TO sue
cessful outcome. But do the people re-
alize the cost of time and money to these
men? 1t requires no small amount of
