as large an exhibit as usual, but what
there was of it was of the best. The
first day when the entries were made
was rainy and this no doubt kept many
ladies from bringing down their ex-
hibits.
Not the least of the attractions at
woman's building at the fair was the
votes for women" corner with its
large votes for women" poster and its
suffrage map displaying the ten en-
franchised states in white; and the
campaign states with the date of the
submission of their constitutional
amendments to their electors. The
booth was lavishly decorated with
the suffrage color in bunting and
in flowers of which nature is prodigal
at this season. Several representatives
o fthe universal franchise league we're
in attendance selling badges, distribut-
ing literature and registering those in
favor of woman suffrage. The regis
ter displaying at the close upwards of
three hundred names many of them
prominent in the county.
There were several good private ex-
hibits, and we believe that the fair
should encourage more of these an
other year. The Square Lumber Com
pany at Aurora had one of the best,
and Mr.. Ainsworth is to be commend
ed for his enterprise. This was housed
in a large tent and the machinery and
other products sold by the company
were attractively displayed to the fair
visitors. The G.. A. r. had an inter
esting exhibit and promise to have a

The Brookings Hardware Company,
the Oakland and Buick cars and Shell
don d Miner, with oil attachment for
cook stoves, had attractive displays.
The horse races were close and in
teresting, although not as many horses
were entered as were looked for. The
results were as follows: Wednesday,
300 trot, o by Jos. Mckinney, Jud
Mix second, Frank Wright third; time
of best heat 2:25. Thursday-2:22
pace, won by Lucky Boy, Victories sec
ond, Andy Russell third, time of best
heat, 2:19. Friday -2:25 trot Aagan
Girl won, Kitty Cobb second, Star
Arion third, time of best heat, 2:27;
PA pace, Dakota Prince won, Glenn,
second, Fanny Searchlight third, time
of best heat, 2:15A.
There was also some special races
which were just as interesting, if not
more so, than the others. Louis Hal
vorson won the boys peanut race and
Esther Crothers the girls peanut race.
Beaulah Swift proved to be swift
enough to win the girls 50-yard dash,
and Willie Mix won the mix-up in the
boys race. Rufus Sanderson took the
egg race. The motorcycle race was
won by Rhutassel, and the novelty
driving race went to Geo. Etting.
There was an interesting tug-of-war
on Thursday between teams from
Brookings city and the county, and
Captain Oscar Johnson's city team won
out after a hard struggle. The winners
pulled against a picked team on Fri
day and again won out.
President Sheldon and Secretaries
and Riley are to be congratulate
ed upon the success of the fair, which
was made possible by hard work on
their part. However, they were ably
by Messrs. Carlisle, Kennard
and Killing, and the superintendent of
the various departments did much to
make the week a success.
The checks to premium winners will
be mailed out within the next week or
days. There are a large number
of these checks and mistakes are very
likely to happen, so if any premium
fails to receive his money by
the goth of this month he should mott
the fair association.
