cry dance the First Annual Jackson
County Fair came to a most sue
cessful close, and will long be re-
membered by the large crowds that
attended each day as one of the
very best Fairs ever held west of
the Missouri river.
The weather for the Fair each
day was ideal and though large
crowds for each days celebration
was expected by the Fair officers
the attendance at the Fair far ex-
ceeded even the highest estimate of
those in charge OF the four days
gathering, and every person who
attended felt more than well repaid
for the time spent in attending the
Fair and that good time was had
by everyone is needless to say.
The list of attractions and amuse-
ments for this years Fair was by
far more extensive than would nat
urally be expected.
Tuesday was entry day and a
large assortment of agricultural ex-
hibits, fancy work by the ladies,
displays and exhibits by the child
rem, and a fine assortment Of live
stock was entered for premiums Of
tered in the various departments.
The enteries in the cattle depart
ment were the most extensive that
they have ever been and each en-
try was an extra fine specimen of
the animal that is doing SO much
in the upbuilding of this country.
In the agricultural department the
competition was keen and the ex-
hibits were extremely fine and
good demonstration of what has been
raised in this county this year.
The ladies department was filled to
overflowing with exhibits of fancy
work and household articles and
formed no small part of the fine APP
pearance of the floral hall and in
the childrens department the work
shown by the little people was
valuable demonstration of what
children can accomplish when they
set their minds to it. Taken all |
together the exhibits were as fine
display as will be seen at any fair.
Wednesday was Children's Day
and the school children from all
parts of the county were guests of |
the Fair Association and the pro-
gram was prepared and participat-
ed in by them. The program con-
sisted Of races Of various kinds, a |
ball game between the east end |
school children and the west end
school children and was won by |
the latter. This was followed by

videre mems teams and resulted in |
a victory for Weta. Thursday, a |
fine race program was pulled off
and ball game played between
Philip and Kadoka and the home
boys took the long end of four to
one score. Cottonwood was here
with large delegation accompan-

added greatly to the program.
The program on Friday was an
other good one and the ball game
between Murdo and Kadoka result
ed in an eight to two victory for
the boys from the east.
Each afternoon Rozalez put on !
three fine free open air trapeze and
swinging rings exhibitions that
were we'll received and each after
noon the big event of the Fair took
place. Fl. ]. Webster, the aviator
made exhibition flights, and they
we're sure fine ones and the crowds
attending the Fair were more than
pleased with the exhibitions he
gave them, circulating about over
the Fair grounds and town at
height of over two thousand feet.
