CONSOLIDATION 66THFAIR TO Be
NOW NECESSITY best NH|STORY
DECKS CLEARED FOR WEEK
OF GREAT SIGHT SEEING.

Everything is arranged for the 66th
annual Grant County Fair at Lancas-
ter and indications all point to the
most successful fair in the history OF
the society.
With the re-incorporation of the.
Grant County Agricultural Society the
directors determined upon several
changes of policy which should make
for a better fair in every way anC all
changes have been carried out. The
premium list has been completely re-
vised with the result that it offers
much greater inducement to competi-
ton, tending to make real showing
of the agricultural products OF the
county. Special inducements are Of
fered to cattle, swine and horse breed
ers by the addition of special prizes
and by the elimination of the old
sweepstakes prizes and the substitu-
ton of championships for the several
breeds shown AS a result of these
changes entries already made promise
the greatest showing ever made in
Lancaster and warrant the contention
on the part of the officers that the 1921
Gran County Fair will be the Great
est Agricultural Show Ever Held in
Southern Wisconsin"
Entries for the race program close
Thursday night. Supt. Whitmore has
arranged program which should at
tract the owners of horses following
the fairs this year. Liberal purses
are offered for all-races and in every
race the entries made are added to the
amount of the purse. This plan has
proved attractive for the past two
years and has brought us good fields.
The track has been regarded and will
be in great shape for the races. The
program for the races will be found
in the advertisement printed eise-
where in this paper
Free acts have been contracted for
with Barnes. This should be SUI
ficient guarantee of merit in the at
fractions offered but this year we have
Mr.. Barnes personal assurance that
the acts he is sending US are strictly
high class. Eilers Animal Circus, is
considered by the veteran booking
agent, as an exceptionally high class
act of it's kind. StutZ Brothers are
rated as top-notch aerial act. Both
attractions will show several times
daily in different performances on all
three days of the fair.
The baseball program has finally
been completed Wednesday afternoon
the fast Shullsburg team will meet
Lancaster at two o'clock. Shullsburg
is going strong right now and has
been more than making up for slow
start earlier in the season. Sunday
they turned in a victory over Lancas-
ter which has put the local aggrega-
ton on its toes with determination
to change the score next Wednesday.
On Thursday Mt. Horeb come for
E~morning game with Lancaster. Mt.
HOreb is in the running for the cham
pionship of the Tri-County league and
is playing mighty fast brand OF ball.
On Friday at ten Lancaster and Dar1-
ington will cross bats. Darlington has
an all-star lineup which has been
playing fair dates this fall with much
success. In all probability, Chapman,
who has rounded out his 1920 form,
will be on the mound for Darlington,
with Rube Noble as the next bet. All
in all the program promises a real
baseball treat.
It should be noted that the fair will
be a real three-day fair. Wednesdays
program does not include racing but
presents all the free acts and high
class baseball game. In addition to
this program the day includes the
real educational features in that all
Judging will be done on Wednesday.
This will give the Judges an opportun-
ity to start Wednesday and have ample
time to get the Judging out OF the way
by Thursday noon at the latest. 1t
will give visitors the opportunity OF
! seeing the Judging early and the Of
ficers plan to make the judging this
year a matter of real educational ben
eft.
In conclusion this is real County
Fair. The officials have endeavored
to make the fair combine the real ed
ucational and advancement features
for which a fair is PRIMARILY intended
with a series of interesting events
that will offend no one and please all.
We ask. for your patronage with the
cordial assurance that you and your
family will be thoroughly pleased.
Come every day-you can't see it all
in one.
