pop on the grounds, and a stand sell
ling near beer beverage sold TWEEN
ty-tive barrels. The Sugar Bowl ice
cream factory worked day and night
and made and sold thousands of gal
Ions of cream.
The midway was crowded with re-
freshmeIt stands and no one went
hungry. Several OF the stands be-
gan charging 10 cents for pop but
as there was no occasion for this. the
fair management promptly put a
check on it, and made them resume
their old price of five cents. The man
agement wouldn't permit any hold
ups" if they discovered any taking
place
The big crowds were orderly and
the city and the grounds were vel!
policed There were some five ar
rests made, for indulging a little too
much in the stuff that made Milwau-
kee famous, and that was a good rec
ord, considering the immense crowd.
The automobile traffic was wei
taken care Of aid Mayor Hook made
special efforts to see that the police
did their duty. He picked good extra
men for the streets and they did fine
work.
All of the attractions on the
grounds were state fair attractions.
The vaudeville artists went from here
to Des Moines to the state fair, as did
the auto racers and the auto polo
men. These attractions were all OF
the very highest.
The fair management are to be
congratulated. We don't believe
Messrs. Curtin, Bear and Baker ever
worked harder to make a fair sue
cess. They gave everything that was
advertised and then some, and we
have yet to hear one kick registered.
The Winneshiek fair has come into
its own AID the people of the county
have every reason to feel proud of it.
The two base ball games played
at the fair this year between FIT. At
kinson and Decorah, were certainly
full Of the real spirit that follows a
real bail game. DEBORAH trimmed FIT
Atkinson on Wednesday after Fort
had taken them for II rounds, the
final score was to 7. Hans Ander-
son did the tossing for DEBORAH and
showed the fans that he had some
good stuff, Sorlien of Bode Iowa did
the receiving. The game on Thurs
, was duplicate of the one held OF
Wednesday, and it was nip and tuck
all the way through. In the ninth inn
ing the score was to 8, and after a
row with his honor the jumps, Fort
Atkinson refused to finish the game
and it was forfeited to DEBORAH. If
the game had been finished it is hard
to say how it would have turned out.
