TIN DAY-LIsr OF PRnAuUNs
AWARDED.
The rain Tuesday and again Wednesday
night upset the program for the fair Of the
North Ellsworth Farmers club, and
caused the cancelling Of the racing pro-
gram both Wednesday and Thursday.
There was good display Of fruit and
vegetables in the hall Wednesday, the
opening day, but owing to the rain Of the
forenoon and the fact that the track was
too wet for racing, very few people won't to
the grounds.
The shower Wednesday evening soaked
down the track again, and put an end to
the hopes for good days racing Thurs
day. EARLY Thursday morning the man
agement announced that the racing pro-
gram was cancelled, and the fair was oil.
DINNER AND DANCING.
It was announced at the same time that
q chicken dinner would be served ct noon.
This brought some parties from Ellis
worth for one of the famous North ELS
worth dinners, in which they were not
disappointed.
The agricultural exhibit was removed
from the hall Thursday forenoon, and the
floor was cleared for dancing.
In spite of the cancelling Of the fair pro-
gram, there was quite gathering OF peo-
pie ON the grounds in the afternoon. But
for the bad weather, the North Ellsworth
fair would have had big day Thursday.
The dance Thursday evening was well
attended and most enjoyable.
