disagreeable weather.
Attractions Made Good.
Every attraction, every performer
and every person who was on the
program made good. All went on
with his part of the program as if
the weather was on it's best beha-
vior.
During the day the judging of
stock attracted a great many people
to that part of the ground. The
judging of the horses was quite in
teresting. With an experienced eye,
Mr. Gaumetz looked over every ami
NAL and decided which ones should
wear the ribbons. The same with
the cattle. The livestock exhibit
was one that the fair management
had every reason to be proud. In
fact the entries in all departments
were excellent, and the fair was a
decided success from every view
point.
In the livestock department there
were several entries which The Free
Press failed to mention last even
ing. In sheep: Fan Award, pen
of Lincolns; Ed Barnes, pen
of Shropshires; Richard Williams,
Shropshires; F. H. Mertesdorf,
Shropshires: A. r. Preston, the
same: S. W. Buckles, grades; Hor-
ner Waite, also pen of grades.
In pigs: J. H. Thompson, Ches-
ter Whites; Bert Stratton, Poland
Chinas; F. C. Wilbur, Polands; Rich
ard Eberhart, Polands; Albert Spen-
GER, Duroc Jersey; v. A. Buckets,
same; F. NJ. Washburn, same; Frank
Richardson, Yorkshires.
Walter Adams was awarded the
sweepstakes on his entry of hogs.
Society Will Have Surplus.
The fair has been a success f.
nancially as well as otherwise. The
total receipts will run up to more
than $4,000. The receipts from the
concessions will amount to about
$500. The society will have sur
plus, but the expense of this years
show has been heavy. Had the
weather been right yesterday 5000
people would have visited the fair.
