IT'S SUCCESS.

The fall of 1907 has witnessed a re-
markable interest all over the state in
county fairs. The attendance general
ly is better than it has ever been before,
and the fairs as rule are better.
Marathon county has kept in line in
this respect and her fair just closed
will be placed at the top of the list of all
others ever held in the county, not be-
cause of it being the last one held, but
because of its merit and attendance.
If all the county fairs to be held in the
state this year were to he summed up
at the end of the season and given
rank according to their merit, the
word, Marathon, would be written in
carmine ink at the top of the list.
This status was made possible by
several agencies. First of all credit is
due the president of the society. Pat
German, and the secretary, M. IL. Dun
can, and their assistants. They began
To plan and prepare last spring and
their efforts ever since have been cease
less and untlring. They took..a greaLre-
sponsibility on their hands, engaging
attractions, ETC., which if the weather
proved bad, would have meant
financial loss. "He who hesitates is
lost" is an injunction they followed
with profit and they decided that no
matter what kind of weather was dished
out they would at least try to give the
people of the county good show for
their money. They succeeded admir-
ably. The weather man threatened,
growled and showed his teeth several
times, but the crowds had faith that
the Almighty would eventually smile
with beaming countenance upon the
associations efforts .and He did, for
Thursday and Friday were fine-just
right to be out in the open air.
On Wednesday there was a fairly
large crowd upon the grounds-better
by about $l09 in paid admissions than
the corresponding day year previous
The people who came from out of the
city that day came as scouts. They
came, they saw and returned home and
told their neighbors. The word passed
around that Marathon county had an
excellent fair arranged Cor her sons
and daughters and those of near by
counties. The scouts returned next
day and brought with them all their
friends and neighbors. Some villages
like Schofeld, Kelly, Marathon City
and Edgar were almost depopulated.
Every incoming train bore extra
coaches. The st. Paul road run
special train down the line as far as
Dancy to pick up people and the North
western also ran one from Rib Falls.
The south bound train on the st. Pail
had six coaches jammed with Toma-
hawk ard Merrill people and thousands
drove in from the country.
The result was that about $4,000 peo-
Pile passed through the gates that day,
which is the high water mark for the

FAIR NOTES.

Chief Malone appointed A. j. McCor-
mick, Sam Stevenson, Ed. Baerwald
and Julius Raduechel special police for
the week but they found little to do.
The chief also had as assistants two
detectives in plain clothes. one from
Chicago and one from Milwaukee.
The latter worked around depots and
in street crowds but failed to spot any
dip men. In view of the fact that
the county fair and homecoming had
been well advertised over the state it
was thought that there would be at
least some pick pockets in the city, bat
none came. One old fellow reported
the loss of a pocketbook on the grounds,
containing $50, but it is thought
he dropped it out of his pocket. Less
than half a dozen arrests were made
the entire week, and these were for
drunkenness, "Backshot'' being one of
the offenders. Considering the crowds
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1907-09-10

in the city and the liberty given, the
6 ,od order maintained was remarkable.
A. j. Plowman of Elderon brought
ten head of Guernseys and three Chester
White hogs TO the fair. Five of the
cattle were pure bred, the balance
grades. He won first money on
breeders herd in each class and also
blue ribbons on each pure bred animal.
The latter were a COW yrs. old; heifers
l and 2 yrs. old; heifer calf and
gentleman COW. Considering the fact
that Mr. Plowman has been in the
stock raising business only a short
time and that he had older herds to
cnpete with, he did remarkably well.
TO the herd will be added some pure
bred stock direct from the island of
Guernsey. An Oakfeld breeder is on
the way there now and will buy about
ten head for himself and few for Mr..
Plowman.
The Rietz Bros of Athens brought a
wild cat to tie fair, but he was not
on exhibition long, for he was pur-
chased by Prof. Arnoldo. The animal
showed his teeth when anyone came
near him. The professor will try to
tame him.
A few accidents marred the fair, but
none were serious. In addition to the
relay horses throwing their riders,
mentioned above, a womaG was stepped
on and frightened by a COW in one of
the cattle barns. The animal broke
lpose from its fastenings and stepped
on the woman's feet and nearly
knocked her over. Idle tongues started
a report that the woman had been
gored. Another lady tainted on the
grounds and was picked up and hurried
over town to the Office of a physician.
Another lady, woman from the
country, had an accident in climbing
over the fence near the grand stand.
No injuries resulted except to her
pride. Aside from the above, every
thing passed off smoothly.
The fire run on Thursday night was
witnessed by several thousand people.
The west side hose cart was brought
over t. The east side engine house and
at 7:30 The run was made up Third
street to point beyond the M. f.
church. Both hose wagons, the hook
and ladder wagon and the fire engine
turned out. 1t has been great many
years since the latter has been seen at
a fire run, whistle footing, smokestack
putting and Goals falling through the
CRATES onto the street.
The Athens exhibit occupied space
on the west side of the agricultural
building. 1t consisted of grains,
grasses and vegetables, bread, pastry,
fruit, butter, brick, chickens, etc.
Some OF the articles were not in the
general exhibit, but were placed in the
departments in which they belonged.
The enterprise of the farmers making
the exhibit was commended by every
one and if the farmers of other sections
will band together next year, they can
do much to help the far and at the
same time advertise their locality in a
way that may mean more rapid
settlement.
The rest house for laGies and the two
ice water tanks were greatly appre-
ciated.
Notwithstanding that meals were
served on the grounds, many families
took their dinners with them and thus
got the benefit of picnic features as we'll
as seeing the fair.
Though some rain fell Wednesday it
did not harm the track in the least. 1t
merely settled the dust.

EXHIBITS.

There is an old saying that familiar
ity> breeds contempt" In years past
we have given extensive wrlte-ups of
the exhibits at our county fairs. If we
should attempt to do so again we fear
it might partske of similarity with
articles of the past and therefore a
familiarity of subject matter to the
reader For that reason we will keep
away from detail so far as possible in
describing the exhibits of this year.
