The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1912-08-29

Between the agricultural hall and
the grand stand neat little build
ing has been erected which will be
used for an Office, telephone booth
and an electrical display. The cleo
trical display room is located in the
north end, the telephone booth in
the southeast corner and the secre-
tary's office in the southwest corner.
The grand stand was erected last
year and has been previously de-
scribed in these columns. It is capa-
BILE of seating 1,60O people and from
every seat an unobstructed view of
the race track and base ball grounds
can be had. It is strongly built and
is absolutely safe.
Underneath the grand stand on the
south end is located the Dairy,
Honey and Sugar exhibition room,
16x32 feet, amply provided with
tables and shelving. One feature of
this room is a permanent refrigera-
tor Of ample dimensions. Then
comes the school exhibit hall which
is 16x56 feet. The north end, l6x32
feet, will be devoted to township ex-
hibits. Ali these halls are we'll
lighted and well provided with tables
and shelving. The sloping roof Of
corrugated iron prevents any dust
from sitting through from the grand
stand.
Immediately north of the grand
stand is the poultry building, 16x60
feet, which will afford ample space
for the advantageous display Of all
poultry exhibits.
The splendid new horse barn erect
ed this year will care for IS head of
horses. The building is 40xl2O feet
with s feet alley through the center.
There are double and single stalls.
One set of stalls is fitted up especi-
ally for stations with chains across
the rear of the stalls. A strong wire
netting in front of the horses heads
will afford ample protection to spec
tators. This barn could not be i'm
proved upon in it's arrangement.
The cattle barn, across from the
horse barn, is 32x1O0 feet with s feet
alley through the center, and will
accommodate, without crowding, 10
head of cattle.
Ranged alongside the north fence
are the sheep, hogs and goat sheds,
"a different compartments, each capa-
BILE of caring for four head of stock.
Some Of these compartments will be
used to house cattle, if the cattle
barn is crowded.
1t is expected that there will be
some especially fine displays of cattle
this year. Henry Webster's herd of
prize Jersey cattle will be one Of the
main attractions in this line.
The judges stand and band stand
are directly across the race track
from the grand stand and have been
fixed up in fine shape this year.
In a hollow in the center of the
race track is a racing stable with six
box stalls, airy, warm and comfort
able.
Neatly painted signs adorn all the
buildings. At glance one can tell
what use every building is devoted
to without stopping to inquire. Mr..
E. L. Clement, the photographer,
painted and lettered each one of the
sign boards gratuitously. By the
way, Mr.. Clement, will have stand
on the grounds and will be prepared
to make pictures of displays, horses
and cattle on short notice.
