The weather man has lost out en-
tirely with the Mankato fair board,
Tor having ordered such undesirable
weather conditions, but at noon to-day
the clouds looked as though they
might lift and allow the sun to Ieam
forth once more. The fair grounds
resembied a small lake this m orning,

floodeo. President Chris Stein.r was
with illness, but the. officials present
seemed TO be of the opinion that ::ie

Icud and water. 1t was also rumored
that If il is impossible to have the

Gated in the curling rink. Calves,
Guernsey and Holstein, were being
given e thorough going over this
morning. They were being washed
and brushed until they fairly shone,
their horns were being carefully pol
ished, and many of the boys and girls
had braided the calves tails to give a
regular marcel effect. Leora Specht
and her brother, Leland, are among
the exhibitors, and Leora said, "My
but we had some time getting here
yesterday morning. We got the hors
es hitched to the wagon, the calves
loaded in, and then one horse baked,
neck and pulled him, and you betcha
he went alright" Leland has twen-
ty- nine Poland China pigs that he
has raised all alone also, which his
mother says they are proud to show
to anyone. The calves in the contest
are all pure breds and were brought
here from Wisconsin. The club is
financed by the National Bank of
Commerce, which surely undertook
the calf club will be taken by Mr.
Mills of the firm of Rath, Mills &
Bell of st. Paul. The pictures will
become a portion of two reel picture
of club work in Blue Earth County
and will be released shortly TO
be shown all over the state. At the
Mankato fair the Calf club has a
of any in the state outside Of the state
fair, and the judging will not only
depend on the calf but the work done
throughout the summer, rations Sc
lected, amounts led, growth made, re-
ports and records The calf that has
made the largest gain belongs to Le-
land Specht, which gained three hun
dred and two pounds in one hundred
