BIG CROWD AT SUNDAY
BASEBALL.
''Bigger and BETTER" was what we
said before the Fair and with the help OF
a benefcient weather man the saying
came true for never before has there
been such an attendance at the county
event. The paid admissions Friday
amounted to $1050 including grand
stand receipts. This means something
like a crowd of 1000 persons besides the
children and exhibitors and their families:
Saturday the paid admissions totalled
S272.15, or nearly 1000 attending.
Sundays festivities, while not strictly
a part of the Fair swelled the receipts OF
the Association by $272.80, and with the
money taken in at the refreshment stands
Friday and Saturday brought the entire
receipts up to $2102.15, the best record
ever made. There are, of course, heavy
expenses to be met for the free attractions
but the Association figures on having
nearly $1200.00 clear.
Nothing could have been finer than
the brand of Minnesota Best Early Fall
Weather provided for the occasion:
Rains had not been so recent as to spoil
the roads and automobiles came by the
hundreds from the far corners OF the
county. All day the streets teemed with
people giving the town the appearance
of circus day and in the afternoon nearly
all business places closed down between
noon and five o'clock to give employees
an opportunity to attend the races which
were exceptionally fine. Never was
t'King Dillard'', the local favorite, in
finer fettle and never did he perform so
beautifully before. Enthusiasm about
his work ran high and his owner, VIM.
Huevelmann had occasion to refuse
good offers for the fine animal which is
the pride of his heart. Old horsemen
acquainted with the abilities of various
famous horses on Minnesota tracks looked
''King billiard" over repeatedly and
could not find blemish on him and they
were loud in their praises OF him, de-
claring that he could easily do mile
on the State Fair track in 2:O7, some
of them even stating that he was capable
of making a record of 2:05. His work
in the 2:2O pace Friday afternoon gave
the race devotees all the excitement they
desired. The time scored was 2:19 IA.
OCn0r uOIS0S GIlCclCO CllC Z.AV pdCc
were 'Debentley'', owned by Babb of
N. D., and LENA Patch, owner,
Savage, of Minneapolis. "King Dillard''
took the first three heats run, 'Debent-
ley" 4-2-2, "Vera Vapo" 2-4-4, and
elena Patch" 1873. Best time 2:19-1-4.
Altho "King Dillard' outclassed his
competitors, the race was a pretty one
particularly interesting because there
had been rumors that one of the horses
coming here would slip something over
on local men.
In the 2:35 Trot the Freund mare,
'Ruby' took first money, coming in
2-3-1-1-1. "Boy Aegon" owner, Daw-
son, Iowa, was second, scoring 1-1-4-4-4,
''Avondale Queen" driven by Fred
Spoerhase came in third, 3-2-2-2-2 and
'Vera Patch fourth, 4-4-4-3-3. Best
time 2:29 IA. Thus the Savage horses
did not take any of the prize money.
Local horesemen say that they look very
good but are too young yet to expect
anything of. The men who brought
them here are highly spoken of also, as
clean, straight fellows.
The Saturday races consisted of a
2:24 Mixed Trot and Pace, and 2:30
Pace. The entries for the first were

2:23-1-4.
The first exhibits to strike the eye of
the visitor to the Fair were the floral
displays of the Boock and the Dill
Greenhouses. Dills had made up their
display chiefly of ferns and palms and
the Boock exhibit showed every hue of
the rainbow in the potted plants. There
was a third display Of flowers brought
in by various parties. The exhibit of
the Pioneer Nursery fruits was not so
fine as last year s for this has been an
exceptionally bad year for apples, plums,
etc. This was also true of the vegetable
and grain exhibits, the number of
entries being smaller and the quality
not so good as in former years. Sleepy
Eye High Schools Agricultural Depart
ment had fine exhibit of the work done
the past year both among the pupils

teacher works during the summer months.
The manual training work was also
exhibited but the products of the five
acres of land farmed by the school
children were most interesting as was
the alfalfa display shown from Brown
County farms.
. The only shoe house making display
|, was Wichersk's, which goes to show
how they are waking up in that establish
ment.
The Aufderheide Brickyards and the
Vogel Lumberyards had space for their
products but did not make great deal
of effort to show them to advantage
F. III. Retzlaf had very complete
outfit of the farm machinery he is
introducing. There were all sorts of
engines putting and rafting and making
