Mr.. G.A.Leak of Tomah was starting
judge. and he rendered good service,
more than meeting expectation of p1b-
lie and horsemen. AS whole the races
we're very creditable, and no fair in the
state, except possibly that Of the state,
has had or will see assembled so many
horses.
SCATTERING FAIR NOTES
In most of the classes special judges
from the university and other places
were employed to pass upon the merits
of animals and articles. They were:
Horses, GeorgeIDivall of Wauzeka dairy
cattle Louis Bober; beef cattle, hogs
and sheep, A. d. Phillips of the univer-
sity agricultural college; poultry, FIJI.
Graves; fancy, domestic and flowers,
Nellie Manchester of Lacrosse; pantry
stores and paintings, Mrs. Worthington
of Lacrosse.
w. w. Powell shipped his big exhibit
Of hogs and other things by rail from
Victory. He is showing in Lacrosse
| this week.
Just what the financial side of the
fair will show is yet hard to tell. Re-
eeipts were not as great as last year
ana expenses considerable heavier. It
is hoped that q safe balance will be left
to the credit of the society.
There was general disappointment
that the advertised parade Of prize win
ming animals failed to materialize. It
has been one of the popular features of
the fair, fine show for breeders and
advertisement for their success in an
imal industry.
The two tent headquarters of the
Grand Army boys and suffragists fur
nished good resting places, for both men
and women during the fair. They we're
well used and appreciated.
The Third Regiment Band sustained
its reputation as q pleasing entertainer,
furnishing plenty and good music dur
! ing each afternoon.
So far as the CENSOR is advised there
were three accidents on the grounde.
Otis TEeige was kicked in the abdorsen
by bis pet colt, Ruelah Thompson was
trannpled upon by horse, ard Mra.
| DerF sustained aisprained ankle. None
of the accidents we're serious.
4 The Wild Wegt show, which exper-
fenced very small patronage, disband-
ed here. Naturally one would think
that character of show would attract
liberal patronage. but it did not.
A number of stock sales or exchanges
we're made during fair. The most i'm
portant was that Of the sale of a six
months old heifer calf from the prize
winning herd of Prof. Brown of the
city school agricultural department. her
mother full-blood Holstein, Royal
Burke Pauline Wayne. The calf was
bought by Ingebret Larson. Holstein
breeder of northeast Viroqua town,
price Sl65. Mr.. Larson made purchase
of the animal without having seen it.
The new hog barn placed at the dis
posal Of swine exhibitors, proved good
investment and great convenience. It
cost the society $3.50 and is worth the
money in added value.
One of the horsemen lost valuable
animal 1.-THE Ambassador. - owned by
II. G.. Busse of Randolph, died Thurs
day night, following hard five.heat
race. After nicely winning two heats
in the 2:25 pace the horse showed signs
Of weakness and trailed the bunch in
i the last heat. Soon after he laid down
and died. The animal was valued at
1 81 600 -.
