The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1915-09-14

were number of other close guesses,
1t would not be right nor proper to
say nothing in praise of the women
Of the community who have contrib
uted to the exhibits at the fair. This
was noticed particularly in the culi-
nary department as well as in needle
work There was an abundance of
| display that fairly made fellows
mouth water.
| If there has been kick" registered
| against the 1915 fair, it has not come
within the hearing of the Leader man.
Everybody was satisfied more than
satisfied.
The blond in the Novelty show ap-
peared to make decided hit with a
number of the "boys" and some of
them were full grown up boys with
bald heads and grey hair
One Of the pleasing features of the
fair for the amusement of the young
people was the jitney dances given
under the auspices of the Watertown
SaXophone Orchestra. Beneath a big
tent a good dance floor had been erect
ed. The music was excellent and the
dances were really deserving of a lar
ger patronage than that accorded On
Monday, the members of the orchestra
departed for an extended tour. The
boys will make their first stop at Osh-
kosh and from there will visit several
of the principal cities in the northern
part of the state, planning to be abb
sent three weeks. The local orchestra
has good reputation in the northern
section of the state and with them
new instruments will make more of
hit than ever.
Paul Demenske again acted as mar
shall during the fair and gave his usu-
al valuable assistance in keeping or

on spirited and pretty steed, all of
which made striking appearance
Roy Holdridge of Clyman, was here
throughout the fair in the interest of
the Ideal Garage and Machine Co. He
was busily engaged in demonstrating
the Bull Tractor, for which the ely
man concern are the distributing ag-
ents for this section. The demonstra-
tiOns were just outside of the grounds
to the north west.
Another little attraction that was
not on the program was the wrestling
match between Fred Braska and one
OF the bears carried with the Nat
Reiss Carnival company. Braska
proved himself to be some wrestler.
He had "go" with Mr.. Bruin Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday and
succeeded in getting five falls out of
ten. The sport was witnessed each
day by large number of spectators
and furnished much merriment for
the crowds. Braska carries but one
scar as a result Of the encounter.
Bands from the outside helped to
fill the air with music during the big
fair. Beaver Dam, Hustisford, Water
loo, Columbus and the Martial band
from the Soldiers Home, Milwaukee,
assisted in the musical program, to
say nothing of the Watertown City
Band which furnished the music on
the opening day of the fair and of
which all of the citizens were Justly
proud. However, there were several
inquiries as to why the Northwestern
College band was not on the list. It
should be remembered that here is
another good band in the city of Wa
tertown that should not be overlook

A person will hear some amusing
and original things, especially dur
ing the fair season. On the way out
to the grounds one day. member of
one of the visiting bands, in speaking
of one of his brother members af the
organization, said: "He is the ig-
