The Fair a snccess-

n In the hope for clear weather nothing
D could have been more fully realized, an(
this fact made 1t decidedly pleasant
bringing business and profit to all WHIT
were connected with the venture. Eacl
day was up to the average in attendance
excepting Farmers Day, on Wednesday
when there was decided slump In ths
attendance, accounted for, perhaps, by
the absence of cattle and live stock ex
hibit, which lack disappointed many
But this falling off Of attendance on the
day set apart for the agriculturist, was
more than made up on Thursday, when
there was a tremendous crowd that gave 9
thorough test to the capacity of the grand
stand, all the 5000 seats being occupied.
There was a good crowd present on Tues
day, and Friday brought out the average
number of visitors.
The management of the fair was sue
cessful In its efforts to raise the standard
of every department. Never has there
been finer string Of horses present. The
display Of poultry attested the efficiency
Of Charles r. Feuton, superintendent,
who gathered larger exhibit than ever
before, and his building interested and de-
lighted thousands Of people. The ex-
hibition buildings were filled with all
kinds Of displays, from an automobile 30

| The Midway held about the usual num-
Der of freaks, although several familiar
al mia nfoh ha vi In
girls, which were largely patronized at
former fairs Owing to misunderstand-
ing with the management, there was no
merry-go-round on the grounds, which
greatly disappointed the children. Among
the freaks could be seen Mary. weighing
683 pounds. with Artie, her husband, who
weighs but 38 pounds. Then there were
the Salome and Hiesha dancers, who were
compelled to modify their program after
Sheriff Jordan got after the gang on We'd
nesday. The mule-footed pig was shown
by Burlington parties. Others were gypsy
palm readers; Loretta. the two headed

advertised Lulu, whichIproved to be tiny
pony; and many more.
