The joint meeting of the Sank
Centre Community Club and the
Agricultural Society of Stearns
County at the Sank Centre Com
munity Club rooms Friday eve
ming brought out good sized at
tendance.
Directors Dewey Zettle and An
ton Nierhausen, of Richmond, and
John Neubauer, of Regal, were the
only directors living distance from
Sank Centre in attendance.
Several weeks ago the Commun-
ity Club appointed a committee
consisting of Sigurd Holme, Her
man Vennewitz and Thos. Clough
to investigate the advisability of
erecting a dance floor at the Fair
grounds.
At Friday evenings meeting two
propositions were submitted. One
was to erect a dance floor 100x100
feet, made out of six-inch boards,
built in "a sections at cost of
approximately $1,100. The other
was to build a concrete floor 75x75
feet, treated with a preparation to
make it good dance floor at a
cost of approximately $500.
The sentiment expressed to be
all in favor of building the dance
floor and to use cement. Mr.. Zet-
tel was called upon and stated that
the pavilion at Richmond had prov
en- decidedly profitable for the pro-
motors in his village. The manag-
er of the pavilion, Anton Nierhau-
sen, said the Richmond dance pavil-
ion was 6Ox80 feet and that July
4, $922.20 worth of tickets were sold.
A fiat charge of $1.0O per couple is
made with an additional charge of
rs cents each for each additional
lady or for lady unaccompanied by
a gentleman.
The dance floor has been consid-
cred by the fair officers for a num-
Der of years. At Friday evenings
meeting it was decided to go ahead.
The plan will be sponsored by the
citation jointly.
The committee was instructed
to go ahead to see to the con-
struction, working with the presi-
dent, vice president and secretary
of the fair.
The best music obtainable will be
secured for three of the fair days
and there will be dancing afternoon
and evening. " 49,. -.,e Il"
After the meeting had been
turned over to the Fair, President
Schoenhoff called upon Asa NJ Wal
lace, in charge of the amusement
program to report. The gentleman
stated that a new departure in en-
tertainment had been made this
year. There will be a complete
change of people and acts each day
of the fair, except for a pony, dog
and goat show booked especially
for the edification of the children,
which will remain during the en-
tire fair.
This amusement program will
last two full hours and the vaude-
Vile acts will be high class, poppy
and beautiful.
The question of harness horse
races was disposed of with a de-
cision not to attempt any. They
have not been a success in the past
few years and the amusement pro-
gram was booked with an idea of
giving patrons in the grandstand a
full afternoons entertainment.
There will, however, be a 10-mile
relay running race, to be complet-
ed in three days. Each entry must
consist of three green horses to be
ridden without saddle. A change
of horses will be made at the end
of every half mile in front of the
grandstand. The same three horses
must go through the three days I'M
til the race is completed; ridden
in every, instance by the same rider.
Three miles will be run each Tues
day and Wednesday and four miles
the last day, Thursday. The purse
for this race will be 500 for first
money, $500 for second money and
$4,000 for third money. There must
be four or more entries az horses)
to fill this race. There will be no
entrance fee.
County All Club Leader Freder-
lex WEIGH was present and suggest
ed that special prizes be hung for
the best exhibits in the All Club
department. Mr.. WEIGH stated that
the boys and girls are taking ac-
tive interest in the County Fair and
will have exhibits which will be
