THE MANI1OWoC COUNTY FAIR.
Will be Held September ID, IS, & 16.
-2lst Annual Exhibit.

The officers Of the Manitowoc County
Fair are making extensive preparations
for this years exhibition, which prom.
ises to become u memorable event in
the annals Of the fairs history, This
being the 2lst annual exhibit, the fair
has now attained its majority. In
recognition of this event the officers
and directors have decided TO celebrate
the occurrence in manner worthy of
the occasion. They have further decided
that the celebration should be of such a
nature that its patrons and exhibitors,
who have 80 generously supported the
institution in the past, may be able to
participate therein. To this end they
have decided to add new features to the
annual exhibition" There will be a
night fair in connection with the day
exhibition. The officers are in commun-
ication with some of the leading com
panies in the country, and it is expected
that the arrangements will be closed
shortly for the night exhibitions on the
grounds.
There have been no circuses and car
nvals in the county this summer Hence
it is expected that the night carnival on
the fair grounds will prove II good draw
ing card. Indeed, an unusually large
attendance is expected. There will be
free open air attractions in the evening
US well ~ in the afternoon. There will
also be band concerts in the evening.
The grounds will be lighted and all
shows and stands will be open in the
evening. In anticipation of this great
event more shows and stands have con
tracted for space than ever before in the
history of the fair.
A special feature of the fair is the rae
ing program, which will be good
drawing card. There will be three
$400 purses and one free for all with "a
$500 purse. This fact should draw II
good string of horses. Another special
feature of this years fair is the
children's garden contest. The addition
of this feature is due to the efforts Of
County Superintendent Fred Christian
sen, who at the annual meeting Of the
stockholders, addressed the members,
suggesting the establishment of n
school childrens agricultural depart
ment. After due consideration of the
suggestion the directors decided to
adopt the plan, and they have accord
ingly added this attractive feature to
this years exhibition. The special
premium list is the best and largest ever
offered in this county.
