the opening of the annual Brown County
fair and gave people more encourage
ment to spend longer time at New
Ulm and in visiting the fair. The cool
breeze made wrap comfortable at
times even on the grandstand and
every one is taking a greater interest
in what is going on.
Homecoming Affects Fair. ;,4;
Due to the homecoming with Its
carnival features, Secretary Linde-
mann found himself strictly up against
it, for his carnival company engaged
earlier in the season cancelled their
contract as soon as they heard the
White-Myers people were to be here
for the Home Coming. Mr.. Linde-
man engaged three other carnival out
fits but each and all of them also re-
fused to come to New Ulm upon hear
ing about the Home Coming. None
of them seemed to feel they would be
able to carry away any money. Mr..
Ii Eldemann, by strenuous efforts sue
ceeded in securing three shows under
the name of the Mcdonald Exhibition
Shows and they we're on the grounds
yesterday for business.
In the exhibition spaces also it
seemed that Home Coming had
some effect for the number of displays
particularly in handiwork are consi-
derably fewer than usual. However, it
can be truthfully said that never before
have things shown up to better ad-
vantage. The exhibition building has
always been too small and now that
fewer articles are entered they can be
displayed to much better advantage,
each article having space to itself in
stead of being hidden by others over
tapping. Merchants of New Ulm ap-
parently have not had time yet to re-
cover from their Home Coming efforts
and there are no displays by those who
usually take up considerable space.
The New Ulm Greenhouses did not
make their usual display, but fur
nished number of potted and cut
flowers which were placed about the
exhibition room instead of being all
banked together.
Fewer Booths.
The New Ulm Roller Mill booth oc-
cupies the place usually held by the
Eagle Roller Mill which has no dis
play. Retzlaff, as usual, has his dis
play of ranges, washing machines and
separators. Engelbert has similar
booth. Schelrt Brewery has a booth
instead Of their usual display of a
mounted deer. The Victor Talking
machine also has a booth. This about
concludes the list of booths in the ex-
hibition building. Fruits and vege-
tables and displays Of household han
diwork, hand painting, children's work
and so forth are really very, very fine.
In one corner of the exhibition building
is to be seen the barberry exhibit in
tended to educate the farmer against
this destructive pest.
Ground Exhibits.
On the fair grounds under tents are
to be seen exhibits of the Simons Lum-
Der Company, Willard Vogel, sign

mixers, the Chevrolet, Durant, Ford
