FAIR NOTES.

group around the headquarters office,
and although he is we'll along in the
nineties there were few younger-feel-
ing men on the grounds than he.
May tire jolly son of Erin greet his
friends on the fair grounds when he
has passed the century mark.
VIM. King, the senior living first
settler Of Spencer Brook, was daily
attendant at the fair and was more
than pleased with everything he saw.
On Friday he handed Judge Keith a
dollar and remarked: "Here is a
starter for a new building for the
ladies' stuff: your present building
is not half large enough. I never
expected to see you build up such a
fair as this in Princeton Mr..
Kings dollar has been eligiously
credited to the building fund.
Hon. H. E. Craig of Orrock never
misses Princeton fair. He was on
hand bright and early Friday and re-
lnained all day, and it is no exagger-
alton to say that he shook hands
with more people than any other
three men on the grounds.
A delegation of eight uniformed
Duluthians, representing the large
jobbing interests at the head of the
lakes, visited the fair Friday morn
ing, having previously called on the
business men of the village. They
had been at the Rush City fair the
day before and came over to Prince
ton in automobiles, reaching here
late Thursday evening. The Duluth
visitors were lively bunch. They
left for Cambridge Friday forenoon
before the big crowd had commenced
to gather. Mr.. Frank x. Gravel, tie
genial general sales manager of the
Stone Ordean-Wells company, chaper-
oned the visitors, the other men,

Friday. He expressed himself as sur
prised and delighted with the fair.

Dare, County Auditor Swanson,
County Treasurer Wicktor, Judge of
Probate Bailey, Clerk of Court Kal-

Waterman, Postmaster Corey and
VIM. Dimmick.
Judging from the manner in which
Charley Swanson and Godfrey Wick
ton were greeted by the hundreds of
Sherburne county people on the
grounds Friday, the fellows who are
opposing them for auditor and treas
urer will nave to 60 some. Charley
and Godfrey seemed to know every
Sherburne county man, woman and
child present. Another Sherburne
county official who seemed to have a
host of friends was Albert Bailey.
Thanks to the kindness of Joe
Leathers. Dan Spaulding and Bill
O'Malley. both in poor health, were
permitted to visit the fair Thursday.
Joe brought them to the grounds
in his automobile, and Dan and Bill
were enabled to see the races from
their seats in the auto.
