The county fair next week. Sep
TENDER 5, & and Z, promises to be one
of the most successful in the whole
IL years of the existence of the asso-
citation. Crops have been good this
year. and the season has been early
enough hat the rush of the harvest
season is over. Fruits and vegetables
should be well advanced, and plenty,
and the exhibits for prizes should be
many. The association themselves
have made extra effort TO secure good
attractions, encouraged by the gen
eral prosperity, and promise that
they have succeeded.
OF the attractions, perhaps the
most important is the almost incl
dental one of the soldiers OF Com
pany f. who will police the grounds
unless called to their environments
before the time, and who have been
granted concessions for the benefit of
the fund. II they are here
at the time, they will not only police
the ground, but will also help in pa
trolling the city. Their cafeteria and
lunch concessions will be operated in
conjunction with the Red Cross, ana
i'm the event of the men themselves
not being here &c participate, the lieu
Cross will have charge. 1t is pur-
posed to have the company drills ana
exhibitions daily on the grounds. III
this parlous time of war and JUNIORS
the activities of the company nave
been of interest to all our citizens.
and as their time with us is growing
short. and they have arrived AT pro
ficiency and precision in their WORK
hey will receive great attention o
the pleasure seeker.
The Capital City Amusement com
many has been secured by the man
agement. and will consist of 10 du-
ferent shows. The agents of the faif
association investigated these SHOWS
thoroughly, and promise that thRH
are clean and are real attractions.
and not merely schemes to separate
the unsuspecting from his nickels.
There are as horses entered in the
races. This aggregation of racers Is
not composed of the old set OF horses
which have for years followed the
circuit. though there are many old
fayorites in the bunch. Many race
here for the first time in this circuit
while Others have raced only at
~Flandreau. There are horses from
far and near entered, and for the
lover OF. horses this should be the
great thing of the season.
The merchants of Madison have
agreed to close their stores from
1:3O to 4:30 each afternoon. there
bv allowing themselves and WORKING
force the privilege of attending the
fair. The grounds and buildings
have been carefully inspected and re-
haired where necessary by the OIL
GERS and a force of men. sec. A. u.
schmidt said this morning that never
before i'm the knowledge OF the pres
emf officers have the grounds OF
buildings been found i'm such good
condition or required so little effort
i'm putting in shape. The track itself
has received the greater noun OF
work and Mr.. Schmidt says that they
are about done with that, and that IL
will be in first class condition.
