This has been a gala week Tor
princeton. Everyone in the village
and the surrounding country mas
taken at least one days vacation ana
visited the big show at tie 1alr
grounds and many Of the more en-
th,siastic fair boosters were IN at
tendance all three days. All the busi-
ness houses in the village were closed
Mo,dav and Tuesday afternoons.
The amusements were particularly
GOOD this year and practically all the
events were presented as listed on the
program.
All the bands that played at the fair
furnished excellent music. The Wan

three of the players are young LADIES'.
c. V. Schofeld, superintendent Oh
schools at Wahkon, is director OF the
organization. He formerly led the
Carleton college band. On Tuesday
the music was furnished by our own
bovs and on Wednesday by the Ger
manv Lutheran church band. Inc
Union has many times expressed the
appreciation of the public in regard TO
the work of these two organlzatlons.
We would not be ashamed to send
either Of these bands to represent US
in any town in the state.
Dick Schwartz and John Zeroth, the
expert lariat artist and the bucklng
broncho rider, gave an exhibition ev-
ery afternoon. These boys are experts
in their line and would qualify for any
wild west show.

were all that they reported to be
and furnished the crowd with good,
clean amusement. The animal circus
was particularly good.

their doll buggies artistically decorat
ed. The judges were sorely perplexe

their decisions but finally made tn
following awards: Clarice Olson first
