GARDEN CITY ExHIBlTION
Successful Event Came To An
End Last Evening; Result
Satisfactory

After three days of successful
events the Garden City Fair closed
last evening, weather conditions hav-
ing been fine this year. and the
crowds large and good humored. The
second day of the fair was by far
the biggest day, and although the
last day was well attended the crowd
was not as large. Premium winners
were announced in the different de-
partments, and toward evening every
one who had a display at the fair
was getting their exhibitions ready
to take home Much of the fine live
stock was shipped out to the state
fair
The amusement program during the
day included music by the Sandon
band, flights by the aviator, free at
fractions, and speeches, including an
address by J. E. Regan Of Mankato.
An open air concert program was
furnished by l.. w. Andrist of this
city which attracted a large audience
and proved pleasing feature. Music
was furnished by the Lilligren trio
OF Mankato, consisting of Ole Holm
and MIR. and Mrs. Lilligren, Karl An
drist, violinist and teacher in the Nc
Phail School of Music, of Minneapolis,
played violin solos, and Miss Helen
Black of Mankato was the pianist.
The program opened with duet by
Mr. Holm and Mrs. Lilligren, follow
ed by solos by both. The trio then
sang Little Gray Home in the West"
The singers were received with an
plause, their songs being expressive
~ sung, and all members of the trio
being well trained singers. Karl
Andrist played violin solo with
spirit and good effect, his interpre-
tation being marked by excellent
technic and good tone. In response f.
the enthusiastic applause he played
an encore number. Difficulties of
playing to close up outdoor audi
ence in which there are people who
insist on talking in loud voices dur
ing an artistically rendered solo or
song, were apparently conquered by
the musicians, and even the noisy

did not interrupt the program. Dur
ing the afternoon popular songs
were sung through megaphones by
the Sandon quartet and demands for
encore numbers were compiled with.
