Favorable Weather and Very

Fine Exhibits and an Interesting
Program of Sports and Special
Attractions.
LARGE FIELD OF HORSES.

The Southwestern Wisconsin Fair
is an event of the past. That it gave
complete satisfaction to the thousands
Of persons who attended. attests to the
fact of its being good fair. 1T was
not only great industrial exhibition,
but field day of sports and attrac-
tions. The attendance was larger
than ever before, and the gate receipts
on Thursday exceeded those of any
previous Thursday in the history of
the fair. The exhibits in the stock
department were more numerous than
ever before, and additional sheds had
10 be built for the accommodation of
animals. The show of horses has
never been excelled outside of state
fair. There were unusually fine exhi-
bits of cattle, sheep, swine and poul-
try, carriages and buggies, and in
the dairy, grain, vegetables, and Gull
nary departments. The display of
paintings and drawings was large and
fine. There was a beautiful display
of plants and flowers. The displays
in the educational department reflect
ed credit upon the teachers and pupils.
Many of the drawings showed skill
and great care in execution.
The sports and special attractions
more than met expectations. The re-
suit of the races and the winners of
the purses will appear in the awards
when published. The ball game be-
tween Highland and Platteville, On
Thursday was perhaps the best game
ever witnessed in Mineral Point, q nd
would have done honor to profession
ais.
Altogether the fair vas a grand re-
union of the people of Southwestern
Wisconsin. 1t was we'll advertised in
the newspapers of our neighboring
cities, and the result was what might
have been anticipated. Representa-
tives from these cities were present in
large numbers, and all had good
words for the fair and the reception
and entertainment given them.
