Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1917-09-13
closed the program at the fair
grounds for the night.
Whom tho nannIa rotupaJ RI tho

city, they had many other pleasure!
awaiting them. The Crescent
theatre presented the House of {
Thousand Candles" The elder one,
who considered they were too old tC
attend the dances, found the Ores
cent program a source of great plea
sure and amusement.
The young people who may have
considered the movies too tame, hat
the pleasure of attending any of the
three dances in town. One was
held at Watts hall, another at the
w. o. w. hall and the third was
given in the Danish Brotherhood
hall. In the wee, small hours of the
night, they departed for their homes
to gain a short refreshment of sleeI
and rest so they might be able to re
| turn for the next day and help tc
make it bigger and better than the
previous one.
And they did. Yesterdays attend.
ance at the fair was never before
equaled. The crowds surpassed
anything that was ever before con-
gregated in this county. The as
| sembly of cars would have done just
ice to any automobile show Omaha
ever had. Nearly every make
and model could be found on the
grounds from the old-fashioned lone
lunger" to the big twelve. One
| circumstance of interest that was
noted was the absence of teams.
We might say there were not half
dozen teams in the entire assembl-
age of cOnveyances., The presence
of such a large number of cars,
testifies to the increasing riches of
the Audubon county farmer, 1t was
almost as great sight to view the
| rows of cars as it was to see the
big prize winning herds of cattle and
hogs. One is as plain an evidence
| of prosperity as the other.
The free attractions of the day
were practically the same as the day
previous, with the exception that in
stead of the Kimballton Cornet Band,
the Brayton Cornet Band furnished
the music. The playing was equal
to and was as fully enjoyed as that
of the band the day before.
The race program for yesterday
was fast and exciting. The pleasure
derived from the -aces was evident
on the part of the crowd, from the
way in which they would rise in
their seats with an asciduous eye,
follow the horses as they rounded
the track. Herewith are the win
ners of the day as cataloged by the
| association.

Shortly after the races were over,
| it began to drizZle. The weather
turned chilly and threatened to
drench the visitors. But thankfully
it did not continue long till the rain
| ceased and by sunset it gave every
appearance of clearing away so the
people who expected to come could
fulfill their desire and return to the
grounds for the night show.
Perhaps the weather put kink
in the pleasures of some people who
would not risk the down pour, but
| in spite of the threatening weather.
| the grounds were crowded and the
programs carried out without inter-
ruption. The free attractions of the
| evening before were duplicated, ex-
cepting that the fire works were en-
larged and the balloon assertions
postponed until today. At the close
of the fire works, the crowds took
to their gasoline teams and depart
ed. some to their homes. some to
the Crescent theatre and others to
the big dances. All in all, yester-
day was one. grand gala day. not to
| be forgotten soon by the visitors
AS the day dawned this morning
the weather was as clear as the pro-
/ vel pW 100 udWh save
no indications of foul weather.
| Shortly after the sun arose from
it's sleep beyond the eastern horizon,
julius Pluvius again came angered
and thr eatened to close the fair amid
a deluge of his wrath and tears,
During the fore part of the day his
anger was apeased and he withdrew

noon hour, not cloud is to be seen
in the skies. The program of the
day was opened by the Audubon
Band playing several pieces on
Broadway at twelve-thirty, and i'm.
mediately they departed to the fail
grounds to furnish the music fol-
the waiting crowds. Tho there are
not as many people on the ground
today, yet the crowds exceed those
of former years for the closing day
