hardly had the opening day arrived,
but what it was found that all of The
exhibit space had been taken and
more room was demanded.
Tuesday evening brought the Pat

exhibits In the various buildings.
The arranged program of Thursday
was not carried out on account OF
the rains, but during the afternoon
the Mott concert band livened things
up somewhat with the outdoor con

carnival company drew the crowds

ly rcckoned with before any other
county carries home the "bacon" for
the finest exhibit.
The shows presented by the Pat
ten Carnival company were we'll
worth the money and the time spenu
lin visiting them. The wrestling
matches both days drew good sized
crowds. The moving picture shows
proved popular for both old and
young. The insane hospital was a
source Of much speculation on the
outside and produced much mirth aad
merrinrent when once admission had
been obtained. The little kid and
the big kid alike hung around the
most logical place "the merry-go:
round" the youngsters being up early
and late. Probably the most inter-
esting OF the shows however was the
trained animal show, which drew the
largest crowds on both days. A visit
to this show was enjoyed by the edi.
tor on Friday night where for the
first time, was witnessed the tricks
performed by a bunch of trained
goats, under the guidance OF Mr.. Pat
ten, the owner of the shows.
The wrestling bear, John Brown
did as good stunt as ever was wit
messed, the animal being a two year
old that was captured in the woods
Of Minnesota. It was Dicky boy the
trained pony that proved the most
popular Of all that was seen at the
animal show, said to be the only
horse that proves its own examples
in addition, subtraction and multiple
cation tables. Dicky boy seems to be-
endowed with human brain. All
that its trainer had to do was to give
the word Of command and without a
sign or motion the horse would per-
form to the utmost satisfaction of the
audience. Dicky boy seems to do the
work far different from many trained
horses that We have seen. 1t not
being, necessary to crack the whin
or use motions of the body in order
to get the bright little animal to per.
form its tasks, which We're always rel
warded with a sWeet-meat from tho
hands of the trainer.
All OF the shows put on were clean

who we hope will return next year.
On Friday afternoon the judges
were busy at the different buildings
and the many excellent exhibits gave
them hard task to perform 1t was
found that some awards were made
for entries that had not been listed.
this however was not the fault OF
any one in particular and we learn
that the committee in charge shave
used their best efforts in giving
prizes to these where no provisions
had been made for entry.
