Many friends of the Medina County
Fair are congratulaying the manage
ment on the success of the Fair this
year. Despite the dusty condition of
the roads on Tuesday there were many
entries, and in the classes for sheep
and poultry the entries proved very
fiattering.
Wednesdays morning rain inter-
fered somewhat with the attendance,
and the crowd was late in gathering,
but before noon the sky cleared and the
proved as great as usual.
Art Hall, Educational Hall, the poul-
try booth and the small hall given
over to fruits, flowers and canned
goods were all filled with creditable
exhibits. Machinery and auto exhibits
proved both entertaining and instruc-
tive, the worm tractor on display
from Cleveland giving exhibitions that
attracted the farmer to make a close
inspection.
4 This years school exhibit at the fair
was in reality the first exhibit at
tempted in the county. There have
been special exhibits in the past, but
this year there was a more nearly
general exhibit. The exhibit from Me-
dina village schools-or rather the
lack Of worthy exhibit-was the
great disappointment Of the year.
There seems to have been lack of
understanding as to what was really
wanted, or at least until it was too
late to remedy the oversight.
Many of the townships and special
districts made very creditable exhi-
bits. Not few were most entertain
ing and instructive, and in many cases
the exhibits Of pupils showed more
than an ordinary talent. Taken as
whole the exhibit drew forth many
words of praise from friends and in
terested spectators.
The following exhibitors won
prizes. There were 40 schools en-
tered:
