FREE FRUIT DAVIS BIG
CROWDS AT THE FAIR.

Many were the eyes scanning the
sky Thursday morning to size up the
weather conditions for the great Fruit
Day at the Fremont county fair, and
some were disappointed as the sun
appeared in all it's glory and not a
cloud appeared that would show a
sign of rain.
1t was early in the morning when
the crowds started in the direction of
the fair grounds and as the morning
wore on the crowds became larger
until the fair management realized
that all previous records were broken.
Excursion trains from all directions
unloaded their human freight at the
! depots and after stroll around the
principal streets all made for the OBJ
/. jective point they had in view-the fair
grounds.
! If there were any citizens or visitors
at the fair who were in any way dis
appointed at the entertainment fur
nished for them. On the contrary one
and all expressed themselves as being
surprised that Fremont county and
Canon City could make so good a
showing in SO many departments as
were represented in the buildings and
on the grounds.
Unlike other days of the fair races
could not be said to be the principal
attraction as the giving away of the
;,,,, nf 1f Mt
varieties made a star attraction that
is not seen very often at any fair.
Long before the time fixed for the free
distribution many thousands of people
was stored and waited with watering
mouths for their share. 1t was pa
tient crowd too, considering the long
wait, the heat and the excitement.
The small boys were there-hYp-
dreds of them-and they were very
much in evidence at all times. Their
'appetites were with them and II some
of the little Johnnies and little Willies
have to call doctor they need not be
greatly alarmed as some boys might
feel the effect OF eating bushel or
two OF fruit but such a feat seldom
has fatal results and they soon recover
from the effects.
The fruit given away this year was
no better probably than 1t was last
year but to many 1t appeared to be
much sweeter as most of the distribu-
ton was made by ladies' and most Of
the ladies were very pretty. Perhaps
that was the reason why 80 many
young men made a second and even
third call. and like Oliver Twist,
asked for more. They were good-pat-
ured young ladies that attended to the
serving. much more SO than men would
have been under such trying circum-
stances.
Next in Importance to the visitors
was the exhibits and they claimed and
received much attention. Those in
charge Of the various dspartmsnts
were kept busy giving information and
answering questions. One and all

BEST EXHIBITION OF FRUIT
EVER MADE IN VALLEY

The display of orchard products at
the fair was fully up to general expec-
tation, both in quantity and quality,
which is only another way of saying
that 1t was one of the best ever seen at
a similar exhibition in Colorado or
elsewhere.
There are, approximately. fourteen
hundred plates OF fruit on exhibition
and nearly every horticultural product
known to this latitude Is represented.
The display OF apples Is. OF course.
especially complete and comprehen-
sive; something like one hundred and
nifty kinds being shown. They range
from the summer to the latest winter
varieties. which keep the year around.
and are as diverse In coloring a. they
are in size and keeping qualities.
The horticultural exhibit last year
seemed to have reached the acme Of
perfection and doubt was expressed
whether orchardists would be able to
make another showing as good for a
long time.
Deserving az 1t was Of praise last
year It is not too much to say that In
some respects at least It ID better this
year. While the fruit II not larger or
msre dellcately colored now than then

The grounds look much better this
season for two reasons. Gravel has
been put on all the walks and there
are more booths. The fair manage

any exclusive privileges and gave all
corners chance to do business.
