COUNTY FAIR cREDITABLE
Stock Exhibit Ellclted Much Praise
and Racing was Very Good.

The county fair closed Friday
and was success from every
standpoint, although the at
tendance might have been
larger. The exhibits in all de-
partments were excellent, the
stock show ,peceiving much
favorable comlsa<t. The racing
both days was W.. good, the
best Bottineau Me had for
several years. The ec.,g of
sure thing grafters anSe1 kin
game operators which had ),
hanging around town two >.1
three days prior to the fair
was not allowed to operate.
The officers and directors did
everything in their power to
make the fair clean in every
respect and deserve much credit
therefor.
The baseball games resulted
in victory for the West Siders,
they winning two of three
games played. Thursday after
moons game was won by the
westerners by a score of IL to
4, the East Siders taking the
balloon route in the seventh
inning prior to which the score
stood 2 to 2. Ten innings were
required to decide Friday morn
ing's contest. The East Siders
won by score of 9 to 4. The
game was snappy and full of
good plays. Friday afternoon
the players on both sides were
too tired to put much ginger
into the game. The boys from
the west side of the murky
Mouse were declared winners
after seven listless innings had
been played, the score standing
Is to D.
The result of the two days
racing follows:

tire permanently to the operation Of
a farm and be satisfied Nay, nay,

a past master in the art of running a

metal in the tube decided that 1t wasn't
so bad after all and forthwith sailed
up and past the dead line, registering,
all the afternoon above the mark. Even
had an unfamiliar look-the mercury
remained above zero and there was a
general relaxation of the interest that
had been manifest in the course of the
record. There We're selighing par
ties organized and there was a general
balmy evening. High boots were dis
carded for light shoes and spats and
there was a general air of revelry that
would have made Belgium's capital
ashamed of itself with her beauty and
her chivalry at the top notch. Things
looked very springike and the mer-
chants prepared for a bigger rush 1t
was great day. And there was no

President Taft took the oath of of.

portico of the capitol in the presence
of one of the greatest throngs that
city of the nation to witness the cere-
monies attending the inauguration of
q chief executive. The vice-president
took the oath Of Office in the senate
chamber Immediately preceding the
administering of the oath to the
president-elect.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Taft has been in civil pursuits all his
life, the military display which accom-
panied his induction into Office was
greater than that which marked the
inauguration of the militant rough
rider president, Theodore Roosevelt.
four years ago. Washington was
filed with civilians and soldiers and
sailors. From the earliest daylight
hour ..the streets were crowded with
people. Pennsylvania avenue, the CEN
ter Of all things in Washington, was
packed with the crowds, every 'man
and woman In which sought, by an
'early arrival, to obtain place of van
ltage from which the great procession,
which for hours passed through the
broad thoroughfare, could be seen.
Every window and every balcony over
looking the avenue had been preempt-
ed for weeks by persons wunng 10

view of the passing marchers.
Decorations Are Beautiful.
The scene was one of constant
movement and constant color. The
red, white and blue fioated from every
hagpole and fell as drapery from
every cornice. The inaugural commit
tee succeeded this year in outdoing
all previous efforts at decorative eff.

Franklin Bell, chief of the general staff
of the United States army, who was
the parade's grand marshal, and his
staff. The military division had the
right of way after the presidents es-
cort. At it's head were the West Point
cadets in their gray uniforms, march
ing with the perfect alignment for
which the military students are famed.
Behind the STRIPPING soldiers came the
STRIPPING sailors, the midshipmen from
the naval academy at Annapolis The
cadets of both schools were cheered,
as they always have been cheered
at every inaugural parade in which
they have taken part. Immediately
behind the future officers of army and
navy came the regulars of the military
service, veterans most of them, who
had seen service in Cuba and in
the Philippines, and, many of them,
upon the plains in the days before the
Indians had left the war path for
the ways of peace.

cation, and who had just left that is

the United States to withdraw its
troops as soon as the Cubans gave evi-

erning themselves. In the force of
regulars were cavalrymen. infantry

pomp and circumstance of war time,
