BLOOMINGTON
The Fair a Success

The Fair Success
The Bloomington fair was held last
week Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day as planned and attracted good
| crowds on the last two days, the larg-
er number being on the grounds on
Thursday. The weather was all that
could be desired, with no dust, mud
or rain to disturb those who attended.
There were fine displays of domestic
and artistic articles, culinary pro-
ducts, grains, fruits, vegetables,
large poultry show and an unusually
fine lot of live stock. Some good run
ming races, pony races, foot races,
ball games and other sports took place
each day. The Dubuque delegation of
business men brought along a good
band which gave some fine music, and
young lady entertainer whose songs
and dances pleased the crowd. The
Bloomington band in their new uni
forms, furnished plenty of good music
both days. The officers of the fair are
pleased with the financial outcome
and will go ahead and plan to make
next years fair bigger and better than
ever.
