Make Some Exhibit.
The second annual exhibition OF the
Fremont County Fair. 20 be held here
next week, has aroused a degree of
public interest that presages success,
no less so in the displays in the several
departments than in the number of
visitors that desire TO inspect them.
From every part OF the county as
surances have been received that peo-
pie are deeply concerned in the matter
and will contribute to it's welfare by
their attendance and by an exhibition
of the products Of field and orchard, as
well as OF the household arts.
The secretary and the members of
the various committees are much
elated by the encouragement they
have received during the last ten days
and are working like beavers to make
the displays unusually thorough and
comprehensive. Not only in the agri-
cultural. horticultural and poultry di-
visions will the fair be attractive, but
and fine arts it will be worthy of the
most careful study in fact, the object
of the association and its patrons is to
make it representative of the products
of the county and OF the domestic life
of lite people.
The Amusement features will be in
keeping with the displays in the exhi-
bition buildings and will afford the
keenest enjoyment to visitors. Aside
from the racing and other track events
there will be bucking contest every
day Of the fair by Johnson's famous
troupe Of bucking bulls, horses and
donkeys which will fill in the intervals
between heats 90 that there will be no
tedious delays in the entertainment
program.
An important thing in connection
with the first day will be q baby show
for which large number of premiums
are offered BY the business men Of
Canon City for the best and prettiest
baby under twenty months old.
The second day has been set apart as
"FruIt Day" wheE several tons Of the
choicest apples, peaches, pears, grapes
and other fruits grown In the Arkansas
valley will be given away. Friday will
be High School Day" when there will
be a contest in athletics between this
years students in the high schools of
Canon City, South Canon. Florence,
Victor, Cripple Greek and Salida.
Each day of the fair has its special
features and they will be of the utmost
interest TO visitors, whether from
Canon City and its suburbs OF the re-
moter sections of the county In the
arrangement of the premium list it
was the object of the committee to en-
list the widest possible competition
and the amusement features were
drafted with the same end in view and
how well they succeeded is left TO the
unbiased reader to determine.
The progressive policy of the fair as
sociation is shown in the additional
prizes offered this year for farm pro-
ducts, which are necessarily the back
bone OF an exhibition in any county in
which agriculture and its associated
callines are so vital TO the public veal
For many articles prod uced on the
ranch special premiums will be given
by the merchants about town, which
ought to stimulate a generous rivalry
for the honors.
There is hardly family in Fremont
county tina, does not possess something
that IL worthy OF being shown u; the
fair, and II they will take the trouble
to bring IT to town and place il on ex-
hibition the show will be what il ought
to be-ar epitome of the resources and
industries Of the county. By united
effort the fair can be made to realize
the highest ambitions of it's friends ard
promoters.
