Next week Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, September 9, 10 and IL,
comes the Medina county fair-THE
fair in this section of the state, and
marks the 74th annual occurrence of
it's kind. Some of the best men in
the county have been spending much
OF their time and energy this summer,
expecting no reward other than to
make this years fair a grand sue
cess.
Fair week is the occasion of the
year toward which the boy looks for
ward as he follows the team or rides
the tractor round the field day after
day, and the place where he gets in
spiration for raising better stock and
doing better farming.
Tuesday, the first day, is generally
given over to arranging the booths
and decorations, getting the live stock
in place and concession tents up.
Wednesday, which on all previous
years has been the big day, will start
the fair proper. On this day are
scheduled two PAGES and one trot for
the horse lovers, and the entries which
close Saturday night give promise of
an excellent field of starters in each
event. The purses are $500 each. A
ball game between Leroy and Bruns-
wick will be held on the diamond in
the morning.
Thursday morning the winning team
OF the previous day will fight it out
with Liverpool for the championship
of the county. In addition to the pace
and two trots regularly scheduled for
the afternoon there will be held run
ming race open to any one in the
county. Much fun is looked for in
this event as they have been numerous
entries.
Prizes have been offered for the
winners in the boys and girls club
work, as well as in the pig club, poul-
try and food clubs. First prize will be
a free trip to Columbus; second prize,
81; third, 81; fourth, So and fifth
prize, 81.
A new departure this year will
be the exhibits by the various schools
OF the county. This work will be
shown in the old dining room and
$3.50 has been set aside for prizes
along these lines.
The fair management has also Sc
cured the services Of an expert aviator
who will thrill the assembled crowds
with all stunts known to the flying
profession both days of the fair.
Lovers of music will not be disap-
pointed with the announcement that
the famous and popular Wallace's vo-
cal orchestra will be on hand both
days and will fill in with selections
In the grand stand between heats and
| races.
There will be an abundance of free
attractions this year, including an ex-
cellent display of relics and hunting
implements of remote and modern
times. The Pickard Brothers, hori-
zontal bar gymnastic comiques, will
put on acts in front of the grand
stand for the amusement of the chill
dren and their elders.
The cattle, swine and poultry ex-
hiblts promise to rank second to none
this year and the showing of farm
Of special interest to farmers will
be the wheat grading, moisture and
termination test; also soil testing
and other practical demonstrations
which will be given by the vocational
agriculture department of the county.
Another feature this year will be

and Game association. This will con-
sist of twenty or more mounted deer
heads, numerous varieties of fish and
tishing tackle, all kinds of guns, in
fact, complete natural history ex-
hibit. The promoters of this exhibit
guarantee a showing the like of

thing along this line who would be
willing to show same are requested
to get in touch with either C. f. Nc
Dermott, of Leroy, or H. C. Rowe or
Dr.. c. D. Freeman, of Medina.
Previous experiences have shown
that Medina county does not have to
take back seat when it's fair is COM
pared with any other county fair in
the state and those at the helm are
highly enthusiastic over the outlook
this year.
A slight increase in the price of sim
gle admission tickets has been made,
the fee being thirty-five cents. Mem
bership tickets, including 4 single ad-
missions, $1.40; horse and rider two
tickets; horse and driver, two tickets;
children under 10 years of age, free.
Admission to the grand stand will re-
main the same as in former years
rs cents.
This small increase is not expected
to cut the attendance any, and given
fair weather, the management will
probably be called upon to handle the
largest crowds in years.
