FULTON COUNTY FAIR
Good Attendance Specially Large
Displays of Horses and Cattle =
Plenty of Amusements- Ladies
Contest Winners-Race Results.

Fulton County Fair for 1916 has
passed into history and fair officials
will have no reason to be ashamed of
the record made. The attendance on
the two "big" days, Thursday and
Friday is estimated at about 5000
each day and the crowds found plenty
to attract their attention and hold
their interest. The exhibit of horses
and cattlewas especially large this
year and it is doubtless true that it
surpassed in this particular, all other
county fairs in the state. The exhibit
made by the members of the Fulton
County Holstein-Friesian Association
was the main factor in bringing the
cattle show up to the high standard
in numbers and quality attained at
this years fair; aside from the Hol-
stem showing there was a splendid
showing of Jersies and other breeds.
The parade on the track was judged
by many who were present to have
been The finest in years. The agri-
cultural, culinary, domestic, art and
merchandise displays were up to those
of former years and the character Of
the educational exhibits was perhaps
a little better this year than in pre-
vious years showing progress in this
line. There were plenty of amuse-
ments on the fair grounds this year
and people wearying of viewing the
exhibits found ample diversion on the
midway"
One Of the methods adopted by the
directors this year to advertise the
fair was the beauty and popularity
contest among the ladies of the coun-
ty. There were six contestants and
the results show Miss Eva johnson of
Chesterfield the winner of first place
and the recipient of fine $375.O0 Ho-
bart M. Cable piano, from Turnbull
Brothers of Wauseon. Miss Johnson's
vote was 46,570. Miss Bernice Ross
of Swan Creek was second with vote
of 33,450 and received a handsome
bedroom suit from Newell g. Planson
of Delta. The third prize a diamond
ring from Gehring Brothers of Delta
was won by Miss Mildred Arnold of
York who received $3.50 votes. The
other contestants were Miss Rosa Swi-
CERT of Pike, 26,556 votes; Miss Flor
ence Wynn of Dover, IA, ia votes and
Miss Dorothy Putnam Of Fulton, 49,
623 votes.
To very many people the races at
