In an interview with some of the
fair officers we found out the fol-
lowing fact, which we give briefly
for the benefit of your Glen Haven
correspondent: 1st.--The ug-of-
war was advertised in all fair papers
to take place on Thursday. None
of the fair officers contemplated put
ting part of it over until Friday.
2nd. The reason that the final pull
was put over last year was because
il was too late to complete the con-
test on Thursday night. Rain in
the morning had delayed the events
of the day all through. 3rd. The
Bloomington team has won only
one contest in four years; so it does
not seem reasonable to assert that
there is any favoritism on the part
of the management for Blooming
ton people Finally, in view of
these positive facts, it would seem
that if your reporter and his team
are bound to feel sore anyway, why
we'll have to let them take it out ii
that brand of goods and get along
as we'll as we can.
