COUNTY FAIR N FULL BLAST.
EXHIBITS MORE AND BETTER
THAN EWER-ATTENDANCE
FOR FIRST DAY LARGE

The county fair which is being held
i'll this city this week by the MORRISON
County Cooperative Agricultural So
cietv bids fair to be the best ever held
in the county. The weather was ex-
~cellent for the opening yesterday and
the attendance was big.
Bastien's band Of Is pieces opened
the program Of entertainments at the
fair grounds at l clock p. m, with
concert which lasted for one hour. The
members of this organization are all
home boys and it is something OF
which the city can be justly proud.
The attractions were pronounced
very good. The Menards, two young
ladies, gave clever exhibitions of head
and hand balancing and ground aero
battles. They held the crowd spell
bound with their acts, especially one
Of their own invention, where one OF
the girls went down thirty-foo in
cline on a roller skate, balancing on
her head.
Granada & Fedora, the Aerial Won
-ders, gave an exhibition Of tight and
slack wire walking, etc.
The Real Quartette, composed OF
feur colored singers, the last vaude-
Vile attraction for the afternoon,
made decided hit with the crowd.
They sang songs Of the south, rag-time
songs, up-to-date songs and the old
time favOrites.
The same program Of attractions
was carried out in the evening. -
The exhibits this year in every
line are larger and of better quality
than ever before.
In the women's building there is
needlework of every description in
small work and large, done in plain
designs and in the most intricate. The
baking display is also shown in this
building and is of general interest.
The agricultural building shows
products Of the farm that are most ex-
cellent, especially is this true Of the
corr exhibit. No better corn is raised
thar that which is shown, this year,
every entry being good one. The
advance of Morrison county in fruit
raising is shown by the fine display Of
apples, crabs, plums, cherries, etc.
Dairying is represented by products Of
the prize-winning creameries Of the
county, as well as from the dairy
farms. There are grains, grasses and
vegetables Of every description, and a
profusion Of flowers that are beauti-
fu1.
The school exhibit building, con-
sstrueted this summer from funds most
ly secured from the schools Of the
county, contains work done by the pu-
pils Of the city, villages and rural
schools Of the county. About every
thing shown in the other buildings is
also shown here-but is either maae
or grown by the pupils. There is also
"a nice display Of work done by the
training departments, rata
worx, writing and drawing exhibits,
