New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1910-09-21
BROWN co. FAIR
Races are Chief Attraction. Fri.
days Attendance Large.

The Brown County Fair of 1910 can
hardly be said to have come up to
the standard of that of last year, al
thoughlit proved a success when viewed
from the amount of articles exhibited
and the number Of people that atten-
ded during the three days of the fair.
When the managers have finished
counting they will find that at least
6000-700O peaple attended.
The success of county fair, from
the financial standpoint and that of
attendance depends largely upon the
attractions that are offered the peo-
pie. And in this respect this years.
fair fell considerably behind the fairs
of previous years. The management,
however, is not at all responsible for
these conditions. Two companies
with fine attractions and splendid en-
PERTAINING features were booked for
the Brown county fair, but owing to
the murder of Joseph Wheeler, which
occurred in Mankato on the opening
day of our fair, all the members had
to appear at the coroner's inquest,
from this deficiency aside however, the
buildings and grounds were fairly we'll
supplied witha great variety Of exhi-
bits.
In some departments the number of
exhibits was not as large as it might
have been, the quality of the exhibited
goods, however was very good. This
