kind here, was sold to an early visitor to
the fair. A milking machine attracted
notice and steel fence was an object
OF interest to farmers who want the best.
The Deere people had display also.
There were hundreds of entries in the
Ladies Department, so many in fact,
that there was not nearly enuf room to
accommodate them properly. Among the
articles exhibited were shawl made by
man, and it was quite as we'll done as
any woman could have made it, a
number of pieces of needleWork by
ladies more than seventy years old,
and there was laso towel that was more
than two hundred years old. The bulk
of the needlework consisted of tatting,
Bohemian lace and some knitted pieces.
Among so many specimens of excellent
work it is impossible to name any that
stand out prominently and the judges
had an almost impossible task to pick
the blue ribbon winners. There were
nemerous exhibits of embroidered work,
of drawing and water colors and the
exhibits of hand painted china were
exceedingly beautiful. A group OF Kodak
pictures taken by Victor Schleuder while
on trip down the Minnesota River,
showed what real artistry the camera
is capable Of
Among the mercantile exhibits were
those of Crone Bros, showing the new
fall furs, and G. A. Ottomeyer's display
of ladies Ready-to-Wear garments. Both
were very handsome exhibits. Winkel-
mann had his music booth again, and
during exhibit hours an operator demon
strated. the beautiful musical effects of
the victrola. Two of the hardware
stores, the New Ulm and Ochs & Baer,
displayed the beauties of their fine line
of kitchen ranges. The Cooper Electric
Company also represented their wares in
booth, showing the ease and facility
of work done by machines run by
electric power.
Only three manufacturing plants were
represented in the exhibits. They were
the Eagle Roller Mill Company. the
Schell Brewing Company and the New
Ulm Publishing Company. The Eagle
had booth displaying the various
premiums they give in connection with
the sale of their flour and was in charge
of Miss M. E. Waters, a representative of
the company who has been with them
for six years. Miss Waters was demon
strating to the ladies the good qualities
of the various brands of flour made by
the Eagle Mill and her assistant, Mrs.
Schapekahm, was kept busy making
delicious tea biscuits as samples to hand
out to the prospective customers. The
Publishing Company had a wall exhibit
of fine job printing, showing examples
of the color work they do and also
demonstrating the work of the Monotype,
the printing machine that can do almost
everything but think. The Schell exhibit
was a work of art, being one Of the
mounted deer from the Schell Park, on
a stand banked with flowers and moss
Pennants were used to indicate the nature
of the business represented.
The live stock exhibits were not so
numerous this year, there being no
swine at all, on account of the fear of
cholera. A number of fine dairy animals
were exhibited and also sheep and poul-
try. The names of prize winners in
these departments will probably appear
in a subsequent issue of the Review.
Some most delicious looking examples
of housewifery were displayed in the
Pantry Store Department, all kinds of
fine cookery being offered in competition
So many good things come out of New
Ulm house wife's kitchen that it is a
delightful surprise when one has
chance to view large number of them
in collection like that shown at the fair.
