The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1915-09-23

clmens were such as to command
more than passing notice. Jos.
Craig, ST., and P. J. Wikeen Judged
the grain and grasses, while A. E.
Hayes, Mi]lard Howard and L. E.
Fox passed upon the merits of the
other agricultural products.
The township exhibits were better
than ever this year, and attracted
the attention of practically all of the
fair visitors. Wyanett, Princeton,
Kathio and Isle Harbor were repre-
sented, and each town made most
creditable showing. The varieties
of grains, grasses, vegetables; etc.,
which made up these displays were
collected by John A. Schueller for
Wyanett, Chas. Berry for Princeton,
A. p. Jorgensen for Kathio, and
Frank P. Morneau for Isle Harbor.
While at some disadvantage because
of being so far removed from the
county seat, Kathio and Isle Harbor
made a splendid showing. The Wy
anett and Princeton displays were
larger, and of excellent quality also.
Much favorable comment was heard
anent this feature of the exposition.
Wyanett captured first money,
Princeton secured second honors,
while Kathio and Isle Harbor were
awarded third ind fourth place, re-
spectively.
Among the interesting features
of the fair were the school exhibits,
and visitors to- this department
were numerous at all times. Many
excellent drawings, paper fancy work,
specimens OF penmanship and articles
of sewing were entered by the grades
of the Princeton schools, the Whit
tier school and rural schools. The
map drawings we're of exceptional
merit, as were the other specimens
of work of the pupils of Mile Laos
county, and the display attracted
much favorable comment. The rural
exhibit, while not as large as in
former years, was Of a better quality
than ever and compared very favor
ably with the others. The display
of agricultural products was excep-
tionally fine. The 9Th grade exhibit
from Miss Kings room was truly
splendid showing, as was that of the
Whittier school and other grades.
Guy Ewing and Superintendent Mar
shall were in charge of this Depart
ment. and all visitors were made
welcome. Next year in all probable
itysa new building will be erected to
accommodate the school exhibits.
The fruit entries were not as
numerous as former years, due to the
backward season, but the showing
was creditable one, and some fine
specimens were entered. Oslund' S
Nursery of Cambridge had hand
some display in this department, as
did Tollefson's Nursery Of Lake City.
The entire exhibit was an attrac-
tive array. The floral department
was not the least pleasing feature of
the fair: and everything was ar
ranged most delightfully."-. The large
octagonal stand in the center of the
horticultural hall was filled with
flowers, as were other stands. Each
one was filed and it was a most
pleasing sight Mrs. H. G. Cooney
and Mrs Ed. Nelson we're, respec-
lively, in. charge of these depart
ments, and visitors invariably COM
mented upon the neatness of ar
engagements.
. The new art hall was never neg
lected, and admiring visitors were in
evidence at all times. Hundreds of
pieces of fancy needle work were on
exhibition, and it would be difficult
to imagine a better showing or a
more attractive display. A back
ground of white cloth, showed off
the articles entered to advantage,
and neat iron ratings prevented visit
ors from soiling the exhibits. The
east wing was literally filled with
handsome specimens Of needle work,
and everything was arranged most
advantageously. Mrs. Charles Keith,
Mrs. S. P. Skahen, Mrs. J. W. Moss
man and Mrs. VIM. Ross were in
charge of this department, and Miss
Genevieve WEIGH rendered the ladies
assistance that was more than appre-
ciated. Every visitor to the art
hall spoke in glowing terms of the ex-
cellence of everything. Mrs. T. j..
Kaliher and Mrs. Geo. A. Coates
judged the exhibits In the west
wing we're displayed various paint
ings and drawings, and the exhibits
were indeed meritable. The paint
ings included landscape scenes, flow
ers, and marine. Mrs. G. A. Galley
and Mrs. Henry Avery we're in
