Tho Exhibits Were Excellent and We'll
Deserved the Many Premiums
Awarded to Them.
ATTENDANCE At FAIR WAS GOOD

noon the success of the fair was
assured, as far as number and variety
of exhibits were concerned. Eighty
seven persons had entered exhibits,
many of them in various classes or
lots. Altho the exhibits of fruits at
the last street fair had taught US that
fruit-raising was quite an industry in
this county it was not expected that the
exhibit this year would come anywhere
near that of last year, on account of
the unfavorable season. But in this
we were agreeably surprised. The
apple exhibit was especially good, in
Guiding almost every variety men
toned in the premium list and also a
number of specials. John Wicklund
and P..H. Frye had the greatest num-
ber of exhibits in class A and carried
off the greatest number of prizes.
The vegetable exhibit was also very
good and the entries by different per-
sons more numerous than in any other
class. S. J. Walgren of Fahlun had
the largest and best display in this
line.
The exhibits of grains were not num-
erOus, for two reasons few farm
ers have had their grain threshed as
yet on account of the persistent rains,
and so much OF the grain was damaged
by rain and hail that good exhibits
would be scarce anyway The corn
exhibit, however, was surprisingly
good, considering the season. A. b.
Sperry carried off the prize for the
largest exhibit in this line.
The ladies were not behind with their
exhibits in classes D and E, and it
actually made man hungry to look
at the fine display of bread, cakes,
pies, canned fruits and jellies.
The attendance was very good, con-
sidering that there were no amusement
features to draw the young people.
Saturday seemed to be the special day
for the farmers.
On Friday afternoon DR.. J. G. Cur
rier was present and addressed the
crowd. He presented q number OF
handy and labor-saving devices for
the. farmers, illustrating each feature
with large pictures which he has pre-.
pared for the next number of the
Farmers Institute Annual. Prof. S
B. Greene spoke on horticultural sub
jects on Friday evening and Saturday
forenoon to large and interested audi.
ences.
