The Street Fair.

Inc street Fair.
The fourth annual street fair
closed last Saturday with an inn
mense turnout Of people from all
parts Of the prairie. Super
weather prevailed during the four
days, and the only disappointment
connected with the annual festival
was the lamentable lack Of exhibits
this year. For some unknown rea-
son there-was very general apathy
on the part OF our farmers and fruit
growers, and, although the prem.
iums offered this year were Just as
large as in previous years, nobody
cared to avail themselves of the
opportunity to make an exhibit Of
the products Of field, orchard or
farm. The shows were better than
ever before, and all the free attrac-
tions we're just as advertised. Five
balloon ascensions were made, aud
the stands and attractions had ex-
cellent patronage. 1t is eaid that
the lack of exhibits is to be &C.
counted for because many who
exhibited in past years did not get
prizes, and disappointed in this
respect probably made the farmers
apathetic. However, the fair
afforded many people an opportun-
ity for recreation and they availed
themselves of it to the utmost.
People must be amused, and the
annual Grangeville street fair is
the one occasion during the year
when folks get chance to meet
their ,nsighbors in town and have
q good time.
