Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1912-09-25

1t started raining again Friday
morning and continued practically
throughout the day and nearly all of
Friday night. In spite Of this fact
the people came to the fair in
large numbers, about two thousand
passing through the gates and perhaps
half as many more remained down
town as long as there was any hope
that it might clear up enough to
permit Of at least a portion of the
fair program being carried out. The
aeroplane made one flight during a
brief cessation of rain in the fore
noon, and was in the air when the
special train arrived here with ten
passenger coaches crowded to their
capacity with fair visitors.
All day long people tramped
through the mud on the grounds or
huddled in the grand stand, the ART
hall and other places where shelter
could be obtained. 1t was impossible
to carry out any part of the program
in the way of track events or free at
fractions.
The exhibits in all departments
were unusually good. In the art hall
the displays of needlework were
beautiful and profuse-so numerous as
to preclude particular mention at this
time. Very attractive displays we're
also made there by a nubmer of Ian
caster mercantile institutions-Alt &
Sons, fresh fruits, canned and bottled
goods; j. 7. Bennett, kodaks and
supplies; Orion Haley Co, clothing !;
John Schreiner & Sons, silks, furs,
ladies' garments, rugs, etc. Aupperle
Grocery Co, canned and bottled
goods; Hub Clothing Co mems
clothing and furnishings; O. Heber-
lein, shoes; L. Groenier and Gross

In the adjoining buildings the
fruit and vegetable exhibits were
very large and very fine as we're those
in the domestic department, home
baking, etc. The poultry exhibit was
also large and very complete
