BEST OF EN- ALL
WAS K. p. FAIR THIS YEAR SAY
OLD-TIME FAIR MEN.
Big Crowd Was Present Friday, Last
Day And Enjoyed Splendid Show
OF Stuff-Notes.


crowd present, and with a magnif-
cent roadster ring as the finale.
That this years fair was the best
of them all is conceded by everyone
both from point of attendance and
the show of stock of different kinds.
Old fair-goers all declared that as an
cld-fashiOned country fair, the Stan
ford exhibition is without a peer in
the state.
Indications are that the fair will
be a satisfactory financial success.
But for the first days bad weather,
its financial success would have been
abundant. The cold rain the first day
completely spoiled the attendance re-
ceipts for that day. The weather on
Thursday and Friday was IDEAL, how
ever, and the people turned out in
large numbers.
The feature of the last Gays ex-
hioition was the roadster ring, which
was won by Senator R. Z. Huob.e's
great mare Ailsa Page, driven by her
trainer and handler, Mack Hughes,
OF Danville. Bob Mitchell, of Har-
rOdsburg, made a strong bid for this
ring, but was clearly outclassed by
the magnificent Hubble mare and her
victory met with the greatest popular
approval. This is the ninth blue the
mare has won this season out Of 10
shows. During the driving in this
ring, Mitchell got a tumble when he
attempted to cut across in front of
the Hubble mare, most unfairly,
many thought. He was slightly cut
about the face, but was not seriously
injured, and remOunted and drove
his speedy gelding to the red ribbon.

Fairs Cost.
An idea of the money it takes to
run a fair can be had when it is told
that the ribbons used to label the Of
ficers and directors and to indicate
| the winners of premiums cost the
Knights of Pythias S29:75. 1t was
! a hard matter to get the red and blue
ribbons at any cost.
Should Make Money
IT is impossible just now to say
how the fair will come out financially
but if all special premiums and debts
due the association are paid small
sum should be realized. Whatever is
made will go to the Knights of Pyth-
las lodge. Not a penny was paid to
a single officer or director for his
services but they did their work
snlendidly notwithstanding. 1t was
. labor of love ell along the line and
the K. of P.'s hope that those who
natronized the fair got as much plea
f,,ro ont f :. as they did in doing
