THE AUDUBON COUNTY
FAIR CLOSED SATURDAY
The Bad Weather
Part Of The Time The Fair Came
Out With Pretty Good Success.


Saturday evening and with success
that was quite satisfactory considering
the wet weather the first two DAYS.
Thursday was denominated Extra Day
and had the weather been pleasant at
immense crowd from that section of
the county would have attended As i'm
was there were about two hundred who
came up on the train and made Of it
the best possible under the conditions.
When Friday morning dawned upon MS
wet, cloudy and muddy, most people
thought the Fair was "a goner for sure.
But early in the forenoon it began to
clear up and the sunshine and breeze
made the afternoon very pleasant. The
weather on Saturday was fine and the
people improved the opportunity to en-
joy the day on the fair grounds among
their friends.
The grounds were in nice condition
and the buildings better than ever be-
fore. The cement floor in Floral Hall
made it nice and clean, and the Rest
Room" for tired women and children
was highly appreciated, Quite u mum
Der of business men made fine display
of their goods and farm machinery The
stock pens and barns were fairly well
filled. The corn show under the di-
rection of Mr.. Nash, attracted much at
tention. There were not SO many horses
as usual for the track, which was lust
as well, because of the weather. On
Saturday afternoon, the large crowd
was entertained by the automobile races,
which were novel and exciting.
The automobile races were pretty
thing to watch The machines were
in perfect condition and stripped to
the wheels and machinery. The
drivers were all experts and did
some nice turns in their driving. The
Overland seems to have been the
winners of tho greatest honor and
Mr.. Petty is very proud of the record.
