terested throng for hours each day
There were 257 entries and much OF
the work was rarely beautiful. In
the old ladies' department Mrs. M
Higgins, 81, of Sleepy Eye, Mrs
Katharine Klossner, 90, and Mrs
Crescentia Klinkhammer, II, each
took a prize for fine handiwork. The
lace exhibits were too numerous fol
special mention but Mrs. VIM. Stoll
Miss Minnie Wendt and Mrs. W. T.
Eckstein had arranged hand painted
china displays which were very
beautiful. Judges for these exhibits
were from out of town and spoke OF
the work as exceptionally good. Reed
work was also shown by the china
painters.
The advertised attractions drew a
goodly number of the visitors and
were good, especially the ball-rolling
stunt of Luman S. Matthews of Lake
City in which he stood upon large
ball and, directing it solely with his
feet, made it cary him up steep
inclined plane, turn a corne ron a
narrow walk at the top and descend
flight of steps. It was not par
ticularly thrilling but it shower clev-
er control. The trapeze work was
better than much that is seen in that
line, also.
Andrew Backer's Guernsey herd
from Willow Grove Farm of Milford,
was awarded the beautiful silver low
ing cup offered by the Minnesota
prize herd of dairy cattle. Other
State Dairymen's Association for the
herds exhibited were the Riverside
Farm Herefords, the Milford Stock
Farm Shorthorns, John Mack's Guern-
seys and a herd from the Imperial
Stock Farm owned by Bergstrom &
Son, and two herds owned by Thor
Thormodsen and another farmer
from Hanska.
AS for the races, while the fact
remains that the time made. was
slower than that of previous events,
the races were more interesting to
people in general owing to the fact
that the contestants were fairly well
matched and punched at the finish
so that it was hard to say which of
the leaders would come in first, En-
thusiasm reached a high pitch at
times. .:
The classes in the racing depart
ment all filled to the required num-
Der and the horses were in the main,
of excellent calibre. In the 2:30 pac-
ing event Edna Parker, a home
horse, won first money after a stub
bornly contested race. It was an ex-
citing race, because the horses were
evenly matched and the finish in each
heat was very close one. Not un-
til the third heat did Edna Parker
win the pole and mighty cheer went
up when the driver, Fred Spoerhase,
drove her under the wire just a tri-
fle ahead of, the three other horses
that were closely punched together.
The home stallion King billiard,
record 2:20A by Hal billiard 2:04A !;
Dam Minnie K, dam of 5 in the list
from 2:10A to 2:2OA, having been
used for breeding purposes, did not
contest in any of the races nor for
any premium, but was shown to
his many admirers and to the horse
men from abroad. He was pronounc-
ed by the very best judges to be the
most perfect and best bred stallion
of the large number on the grounds.
King billiard has been raced only
for short period and won every
race in which he was entered, ex-
cept one where he met with an acci-
dent.
Among the prominent horsemen
from abroad were A. F. Crow, James,
vile, Minn.; Chas. Hoffman,, St. Paul;
James Carr, St. Paul; Ed. Hilliker,
Fremont, Neb.; Harland Smith &
Son, Nashua, Iowa; Clarence Walk
er, .Pipestone, Mimi; J. A. Hawley
from Darnall Stock Farms, West
Union, Iowa. Saturday evening Fer
dinand Crone, Pres. Of the Associa-
ton, gave banquet and supper in
the agricultural building to the visi-
tors from out of town and his as
sistants during the Fair.
