A visit to the fair grounds this morn
ing soon convinced us that after al
fairs are held in Wisconsin this year
the one of Marathon county will be
placed at the head Of the list by disin
terested critics as the most meritorious
of all. Of course the first forenoon
does not correctly show the worth OF
the fair, for the exhibits are not all in
but one can pet an indication of what
it is going to be. We have been in at
tendance the first day for great many
years and we must say, never before
did we see greater preparations going
on, or the grounds and buildings look.
ing so neat as they do this year.
For week or so past force OF
painters have been at work touching
up the buildings. The office, restroom
dining hall, stands and smaller build
ings have all been painted white with
green trimmings and look very neat
The Office has been moved out to the
roadway, concrete wall has been
built around it and the space between
the wall and building filed in and
sodded over. Cement steps lead up to
the door and there are two stone pillars
at either side of the gateway.
The buildings inside are tastefully
trimmed with crepe paper of different
colors, cut in different designs. In one
corner of the agricultural hall on the
floor given over to the domestic depart
ment is very pretty display. 1t rep
resents bed room, is fitted up with
furniture and dainty lace curtains,
spreads, etc.
The decorations have even been car
ried to the cattle and horse barns and
are different in design in each.
One of the improvements on the
grounds this year is the drinking facii-
tiles. Two large iron tanks have been
placed in convenient places which hold
several barrels of water. Into each
large cake of ice is dropped. There
are six faucets on each, supplied by as
many cups.
The exhibits of live stock will equal,
if not surpass, any ever shown here.
Besides the home cattle breeders there
are great many outside exhibitors.
