H. King and Mrs. Ella Jorgenson
judged the exhibits with the exception
of the agricultural products, which
were passed upon by Messrs. Robert
Clark and Royal Berry.
The Agricultural hall was not as we'll
filled as in former years, due to the
fact. that the Farmers clubs exhibits
under the grand stand consisted main
~ of products of the soil. There was
a good showing Of grains and grasses,
and vegetables, however, and a nicer
assortment of corn was never exhib-
tied here.
Robt. Clark carried off the sweep
stake prize for the best collection of
vegetables, Is varieties, and Royal
Berry won the potato sweepstake on
his exhibit Of one bushel each of any
four standard varieties. Chas. M.
Murray and R. D. Byers were in charge
of this department, and of course,
everything was in tip-top condition.
The exhibits were judged by Prof.
Watson of Milaca.
The fruit entries occupied the south
half Of the east wing of the Agricul-
tural hall, and were exceptionally fine.
Apples, plums, and crab apples of var
ious varieties were attractively dis
played, and the exhibit was splen-
did one. The floral exhibits occupied
a large octagonal stand in the center
of the agricultural hall, and beautiful
flowers and ferns artistically arranged
here met the eyes of fair visitors. Mrs.
Frances S. Cooney and Mrs. Ed Mel
son were, respectively, in charge of
these departments, and the neatness
of the displays was due to their effort

in both divisions.
The art hall was the favorite resort
lof lady visitors at the fair, although
numerous others passed through the
building to view the many pretty
articles entered. The east wing con-
tanned the domestic manufacture de-
partment, and here were displayed
embroidered articles, crochet work,
needle work, hemstitched articles,
cross stitching-in fact everything
skilled hands can make with
needle and thread, etc. It was
a splendid showing, and more
than reflected credit on the needle
plyers of this vicinity. This depart
ment was in charge Of Mrs. Chas.

proved upon. -.
In the west wing were displayed
some real meritable specimens of
paintings in oil, water colors and
crayon work, including fruits, flowers,
landscapes and animals. There were
also pencil drawings, photographs and

vicinity has some talented amateur
artists. Mrs. Geo. P. Creglow was
superintendent of this department and

lively arranged.
