music Is made anywhere than at these
State Fair concerts and they were lis
tened to attentively by thousands o.
delighted Iowa people. The Sunday at
tendance was large. In part this is &C
counted for by the fact that there is

week. But Iowa people appreciate
good music and the concerts are q
great feature of every State Fair.

very attractive. Major Irwin and his
cowsboys and rough riders gave good
exhibition. It was followed by the
