Give us the weather, and we'll
have Fair. said one of the fair
association officers early Tues. And,
the appearance Of the grounds bore
out his words, for on every side there
was evidence that q large crowd was
looked for and that q large number
of exhibits and q variety Of attrac-
tions would give the visitors an op-
portunity to spend their time both
pleasantly and probably. The chilly
atmosphere was doubtless the cause
Of the delay on the part Of many to
get their exhibits in place.
The cattle and hogs we're in place
early. Before the middle Of the fore
noon the cattle shed was nearly full,
and the hog pens were also fairly
well filled. The exhibit Of live stock
is one Of the most important at any
fair, and the cattle and hogs, OF
course, make up an essential por-

Ten Polled Angus from the farm
of u. "A. Larson and d herd of about
equal size from the State Hospitals
Holsteins give the visitor q chance
to compare the different breeds. Mr..
Larson, also, was unfortunate in the
matter OF getting his cattle to the
fair. for calf that had been separ-
ated from its mother for the first
time, got away from the herd and
plunged thru:a fence. sustaining such
injuries that the cuts had to be sew
ed up and the calf left at home.
