lHISHd TO encourage More ASrIs
cultural Exhibits.
Directors of the Brown County
Agricultural society, at a meeting held
Friday evening, frowned upon the
proposition to hire acarnival company
to exhibit here during the county fair
Instead, it was voted to use every
means of encouraging farmers to enter
live stock and grain exhibits and to
provide amusement features of an
entirely different character. In this
instance it would seem that the officials
| of the association have displayed
great good judgment and their decision
probably assures a better fair than
could otherwise be given.
| Friday nights meeting was held in
the Office of Secretary VIM. Pfaender,
Jr., and the directors first listened to
the report of the committee appointed
to look into the carnival plan. It had
previously been suggested that the
society secure carnival company to
pitch its tents inside the grounds, the
idea being to charge an admission fee
during the daylight hours but to throw
the gates open in the evenings, but the
committee declared that it could not
recommend the scheme. The principal
! objection lay in the fact that it would
be somewhat expensive to get a
carnival company to travel as far
north as this in the fall and doubts
| were expressed as to its desirability
as drawing card. The people have
had one street fair this season and a
repetition might develop into a failure.
In lieu of this feature it was thought
best to put on attractions in which
local pride could be taken. The
committee approved of running race
for horses, a free-for- all for teams
drawing lumber wagons and a tug-of-
war between residents of rival town
ships. Secretary Pfaender was in
structed to issue a permit to the owner
OF a merry-go-round and it was re-
ported that negotiations were pending
for a man to make a balloon ascension.
Pres. Ferdinand Crone was ordered to
close these arrangements and also to
secure other suitable attractions.
Secretary Pfaender sprung surprise
by handing in his resignation but the
directors refused to listen to his
request. They finally prevailed upon
him to retain his office and after this
had been accomplished Ferdinand
Crone and A. j. Vogel were appointed
as committee to prepare the premium
list and have it printed.
Without exception those present
favored putting forth greater efforts
to secure exhibits of farm products,
that the county fair might become
such in fact as well as in name. Tt
was decided to use every means to
interest farmers and encourage the
entrance of stock and poultry, to-
gether with displays of grain, fruits
and vegetables.
