and Rurney Wins.

Eldon, Sept 11.-(Special to the
Courier. )-The nineteenth annual
exhibition Of the Big Four fair asso-
citation has passed into history after
two successful days out of four sched-
uled. The fair closed its 1909 meeting
yesterday afternoon. There was plenty
of good racing and other forms of
amuseplents and the largest crowd
which had attended the fair was on
the grounds.
Although the Tuesday and wednes.
day sessions were called off on ac-
count of rain, the big attendance of
the last two days was sufficient to pay
all expenses. The exhibits this year
were larger than previous years and
the races were much faster and in ev-
cry way the fair was superior to for.
mermeetings-
!, Is IN Good Condition.
Many people over the four counties
had thought the Big Four Fair asso-
citation was on its last feet, but this
was strenBously denied by William
g. Crow of Eldon, one of the stock
holders In the association in an adj
dress in front of the grandstand yes
terday. Mr.. Grow stated that the as.
ISOLATION was in better condition than
1t ever was, and although rain had
greatly interfered with this years
meeting, the association had come
out on the good side and had paid all
debts that had accumulated from this
years meet. Over 5000 worth of new
stock had been purchased by farmers
of the four counties and Mr.. Grow
e,fo hot 10 So
great.
Lauds Fifty-fourth Band.
During his address Mr. Grow stated
that the fair management had gone
to considerable expense to get first
class attractions this year and had
been successful. One of the best fair
attractions in the state of Iowa, he
stated and every one agreed with
him, had been secured by the Big
-Four management this year in the
Fifty-fDurth regiment band of OF
tunnwa.
IN high flight of oratory the gem
fourth Regiment band of Ottunwa
had reputation from the silvery-
kissed waves of the Atlantic ocean
OfST +HIytuOhLu bCCk GLlQ through the
Rocky mountains to the siivery- kissed
waves of the Pacific ocean. The re-
marks were greeted by vociferous APP
plause from the large audience that
packed the grand stand
Attractions Draw Well.
The largest crowd of this years
meet was on the grounds yesterday
and all the stands enjoyed large pa
tronage. Everything went off smoothly
and everywhere one could hear COM
pliments on the 1909 fair The vaude-
Vile features went off like clockwork.
The first attraction was the Zoyarras,
the globe artists performing difficult
feats on the wooden ball and acrobatic
work The second free number was
the WarTicks in their tumbling and
trick house stunt. The balloon ascen-
sion made the biggest hit In making
her second ascension at the Eldon
fair, Madame Louise sailed over the.
grand stand and made pretty para
chute drop in the field nearby
