The 1919 fair in point of general
excellence, attendance and cash re-
cipts. broke all former records. The
opening day crowd fell a little short
of previous years. The second day
overcanre this deficiency, and the last
dav was twice what II was the pre-
ceeding year. 49, ~.-..,. 90
In spite of the fact that there were
no horse races the grand stand re-
ceipts were heavier this year than ever
before. This is probably accounted for
by the general excellence of the
amusement program in front Of the
stand.
Speaking of the races, from other
sections of the state there will be Il
large number of county fairs this
year who have been compelled to
abandon the race program because OF
lack of entries. The indications are
that the bottom has dropped out Of
the racing game In this connection
the managers of the Stearns county
fair are already considering some
form of amusement to take the place
of the races next year. If the farm
ers can be interested it is more than
likely there will be running races AT
least, with the entries confined to 10
cal talent, or snappy cash prizes.
However nothing has been definitely
decided upon.
In spite of the small gram shortage
the agricultural hall presented most
attractive appearance. The tobacco
exhibits were more extensive than
ever, and the farmers are beginning
to realize that this plant can be
grown in this section satisfactorily.
The Farmers Progressive Club, al
ways staunch supporters of the fair,
had most excellent display in the
agricultural building, and added no
little to the completeness of the
agricultural display.
Another exhibit in, the agricultural
building attracting considerable fav-
orable attention was that offered by
Rev. Goodger of the Episcopal
church. Rev. Goodger recently re-
turned from a visit with sister at
Battles, Ala, and he brought home
with him several varieties Of fruits,
flowers, vegetables, plants and moss
grown in the sunny south. This ex-
hibit consisted largely of sand pears,
sugar cane and sugar cane syrup.
