here more thar did those at til.
state fair" one farmer told Mr..
Morse. Another said thai they were
on par with those of the Chicago
fair-not as elaborate of course, but
equally as good. -
rhe free acts too, were above the
average in merit. ~ q" ~ - -.
The night fairs, according to mr..
Morse, about broke even IN expenses.
The attendance at these events was
not as larg as expected, but the at
tendance, he believed, proved to the
association the necessity of holding
night fairs in the future. They viii
he said, probably become regular
feature here.
Thursday was by far the biggest
day at, the fair, On. this day the
grand-stand was crowded all through
the afternoon performance and
crowds lined the fences; along the
race course. The concessions all did
big business on Thursday and the
various exhibit buildings were crowd .
ed throughout the entire afternoon
and evening. e.. ~ :.
Roco Arc, the Red Cross health
clown, was a feature on Thurs
day. He held forth IN the Womenss
building, and all through the after
noon and evening administered ad-
vice to the children and their par
ents who visited his booth.
Stock and farm exhibits at the
fair were of a high class and we'll
displayed. The results of the judg-
ing of these exhibits is not yet COM
pleted but because of the excellent
specimens shown, the Judges were
obliged to resort to much considera-
ton in announcing the awards.
The exhibit in the school buildings
was both large and attractive. The
exhibit of the Sank Centre High
school was good, but due to curtailed
space in the school building, a num-
Der of articles made in the manual
training department, was omitted
from the exhibit.
Farmers who had exhibits at the
fair were very we'll pleased with the
treatment they received at the hands
of the association.
Martin R.. Folkner of Albany, who
had stock at the fair stables, writes
as follows to the Herald of his ex-
periences here:
GAS an exhibitor of live stock at
the Stearns County Fair, it is my
duty to thank the fair board for the
courtesy shown us as it is no small
task to handle large crowd and
handle them right.
ct also find it my duty to congrat-
ulate the grocery firm which went
to lot of trouble to have very nice
display which made such hit and
it is too bad that other firms did not
cooperate in charging this display"
On the race track, the horses furn-
ished three days sensation. Lady
Bess among the 2:10 trotters was
the fastest horse on the course win
ming her races both Thursday and
