FAIR WAS A SUCCESS
Y. M. C. A. Entertainment Proves
Very Attractive.

The Mahaska County Fair as exemp-
lifted by the Y. NJ. C. A. management,
came to a successful close Saturday
evening. The entertainment was en-
ioyed by large crowd, almost all
that could be accommodated in the
rooms and everyone was surprised
and delighted with the nature OF the
effort The program, as outlined by
the promoters of the scheme, was sue
cessful in all ways. The cash receipts
of the fair amounted to almost two
hundred dollars. The expenses VIII
possibly be seventy or eighty dollars,
as the fair was put on at considerable
expense. The total attendance was
about twelve hundred. five hundred
on Friday and seven hundred Satur'
day afternoon and evening,
The WORK of making the awards In
all of the departments was not COM
pleted until Saturday evening. The
ribbons attached to the prize winners,
blue for the first premium, red for
the second and white for the third
made a very pretty classification of
the exhibits.
The Association is under obligations
to the Iowa Brigade Band, which
came to the Y. NJ. c. A. building at
seven-thirty o'clock and played four
selections as an attraction for the fair.
This gave the fair a boost that 1t
would not otherwise have enjoyed.
