South Dakota Exhibition Eeilpses All
Predecessors.
The state fair at Yaakton this year
vas q pronounced success, both In al,
tendance and In the matter of the ex-
hibits and attractions furnished. Ev-
cry building was occupied to It's fullest
capacity.
The fruit hall, dairy hall, art hall,
all were crowded.
The show of horses and cattle was
most creGitable, and this was the real
feature of the fair. Sheep aud swine
were scarce.
A splendid program of races was ar
ranged.
The ladies showed their handiwork
in a fine exhibit Of art work. The
building is SO small thai q proper dis
play was impossible.
The officers of the fair and the city
Of Yankton were much pleased with
the years meeting.
In the county display contest at the
state fair, Bon Homme county VOL
first premium. The competitors were
Edmunds al Faux counties, both of
whom had fine exhibits that would
have a first premium at an ordin-
airy show, but they were botA out
Ct .sseG by Bon Hcmme, and this so
decidedly that the committee found
500 points favorable to Bon Homme,
with 400 for Edmunds and 800 for
Faulk county, thus giving Boa Homme
more points than both its competitors.
The committee making the award was
Geo. A, Pettigrew of F~!andreau, Moody
county, and Joseph Wing, correspond
ent Of the Breeders Gazette, Chicago.
The representatives of EdmuRds and
Faux counties protested against the
award, alleging that the Bon H~mme
exhibit was the individual exhibit of
NJ. d. Gardner, and not a county *
hibit. The protest, however, failed to
establish a case, and the committees
award Ia final.
