derWood, Sept. 10 Weather
conditions were unfavorable for the

mean foggy drizzle, with little let.
up in rain fall toward noon and the
afternoon was cold and damp with
threatening rain all the time with Al
Light shower or two. y ss
The afternoon program was carried
out as published In this mornings

The track was heavy and the work
hard but the racing and ball play
ing wss better than would be looked
fer ~ der such conditions
G. Hinckley's pacing mare, Ed
18th o. won in three straight heats.
Time not given.
The attendance was fair in the az
| ternoon.
The exhibits of grains, vegetables
and other products, received much
attention and among the booths in
the main building were to be seen
the exhibits of decorative ware and
pictures of Wike & Glarum, a fine
display Of fruits and flowers BY the
Clinton Falls Nursery company and
the department store of Koth, Wudel
& Co., with beautiful line Of cof-
fees. furniture, etc. 1.t 5s..
The both containing the exhibit Of
Won1an's handiWork in the way of
cooking and preserving is especial
" attractive and the bread, cakes,
pickles, jellies and preserves would
indicate that the living in Mclean
Ecaunty is upon a high order. The
tieliies. pickles and canned fruits be-
| ing largely products Of the kitchen
garden or of native wild fruits.
The floral display is creditable and
the work of The school children in
map drawing end relief work, as
well as coloring, cannot be praised
beyond its real merits and the pen
work and other drawings were ex-
ct1;ant.
The fancy work is beautiful and
we'll displayed.
0 Tfe display of grains and grasses
is gootl but too small in amount and
The vegetables are beyond belief for
size and excellence of quality.
The poultry exhibit is good so far
as it goes, consisting of chickens,
geese and pigeons, but the coops are
| too few in number for the possibi-
Titles Of the county. "a . .s,s@4
The live stock interests of Mclean

to the people Of the county. 35
The brick shown by the Lacy Coal
Mine & Brick comp any attracts much
attention and an inscription on the
end gate of wagon1oad Of coal told
much in a few words, consisting of
the following:
The coal that made this country
famous from the old Coal Harbor
coal mines. (
The crowd is orderly and especf-
ally free from roWdyism or any
thing Objectionable and seems bent
upon having q good time
The number of side entertainments
are OF the ordinary nature and gamb-
ling, drinking, etc, is eliminated
Ito a commendab BILE degree.
The days music was furnished by
the Washburn and McClusky bands
and was excellent in quality
