CLOSES FIVE-DAY FAIR
Special Attention Is Called to
Exhibits Entered BY Near
by Residents

By far the biggest fair ever held in
this section of the state closed Sat
urday evening following display OF
fireworks at the Northern Minnesota
fair grounds here. The exposition
was originally scheduled for four
days, but was extended to include
Saturday on account of the urfavor-
able weather on the opening day,
Tuesday. Each days program was
exceptionally good and the attend
ance showed that next years fair
will be even bigger and better. All
were we'll pleased with the program
of entertainment and expressed great
surprise at the EXHIBITS shown in ev-
cry department.
The receipts from the admissions
to the grounds and grandstand have
been announced by the fair manage
ment and total Sc, 491.45. From con-
cessions, 1896 was realized, and from
industrial booth rentals, SITS, max
ing a total Of $7,562.45.
The disbursements have not yet
been announced and probably COM
plete statement will be unable to be
obtained until some time in the fu-
ture, when all premiums and other
obligations have been compiled.
Perhaps the most outstanding sur
prise of all attractions and about
which considerable publicity has been
already given, is the great livestock
exhibition. This feature of the fair
attracted exhibitors from far and
near, but because Of it's strong pull
ing powers from afar, perhaps the
local stock exhibitors were, not 50
much in the limelght until the rib
bons were pinned upon the winners.
The fact remains that Beltrami
county exhibitors and those in the
immediate vicinity of Bemidii, in
spite Of the keen competition, carried
away their share of the prizes.
Special attention is called to the
following loyal boosters of the fair
in this department, who in the past
have always been on the job with
good stock.
