The Red Cloud chief., 1901-09-27

IN all departments was q succsss The
weather for most part was as good
AS usual. On Tuesday, the regulation
Webster county fsir weather was on,
and to say that 1t was awful when 1t
came to wind and dust was putting 1t
very mild. A heavy rain on Tuesday
night made the weather on Wednesday
pleasant and the public took advantage
of the weather and came out N large
numbers. This was the day Of the
flower parade and Of course this attrac.
ton took many to the grounds to wit.

This was the designation Of the
Judge s rs to the prize winners and of
course il will have To stand. As on all
occasions OF this kind there is a differ.
ence of opinion and this opinion was
expressed in no uncertain tones by
parties present. We are not going to
try to tell which Of the decorations
were entitled to the various prizes but
there were some which we deem should
have special mention although they
did not receive very much recognition
One which would strike the eve of the
true Nrbraskan was that of Mrs. Chris
Zeiss, which was decorated in Ne
braska's flower, the "Goldel Rod.
These flowers of course were tn
growth of 1901 and not artificial. Mrs
; l.. M. Crabill also went an the line o
original decoration and her buggy wa
tastefully arranged in Golden Rod ant
different grains. Mrs. James Peter
sons decorations were pink and whit
roses and were pretty and it was evi
dent that the work Of getting them u
was considerable. Among the humble
which received no recognition by tn
, judges was the rig Of Mrs. POlnick
and Mrs. Herburger, which was taste
fully decorated IN pumpkins an
pumpkin vines. Among the very prett
rigs was that of Miss Nellie WarreI
and Miss Ethel Hosmer, which showe'
especial decorative talent.
The buggy of Mrs. v. b. Fulton ant
Mrs. H. w. Sherwood was a rspresen
tation Of the suniower and the hun
dreds Of these flowers both large ant
small indicated . great amount o
work and many days time In its deco
ration. 1t was number In th'
award.
The most tasteful rig when It CAM
to fiowors, hard work In design ant
what IL represented was that OF Mrs
A. Csnover and Mrs. John Tomliuson
This was . representation OF carnatioI
piuks, the favorits flower Of our lat
lamented president, and portraits o
Mr.. Mckinley were co~nspicuously dis
played. In the decoration OF thi
buggy owe one thousand pinks wer,
used and when color, design and work
manship were considered it was n o
the best in the bunch.
The two rigs which caused the mos
merrimsnt in the parade was that o
the Red Cloud roller mills represents'
by a decorated cart to which wa
hitchsd John Polnicky's Jack driver
by the Misses Graves and Shermar
and the automobile OF Messrs. CLAIR
and Hughes which was propelled by
"horse with his head where his tai
ought to be-"
Ailin all the fl over parade wasa sue
cess but we would rather be excused a
one Of the judges in this difficult tash
The general display In all lines 1t tn
fair was above the average and tn
i. ball games, riding tournament, foo
races and other attractions were carrie
out according to program.
