The 1881 Stearns County Fair
opened auspiciously this Thursday
morning.
Some of the exhibits were in
place Wednesday afternoon, but
this morning every building, nook
and corner of the grounds was a
scene of fervid activity preparing
the exhibits so that all might be
in readiness for the formal open
ing Friday.
AS the program develops it is
more and more apparent that this
years exposition will be one of the
very best ever sponsored by the
Agricultural Society in thier long
years of activity.
The All Clubs of the county will
present a complete and varied ex-
hibit of projects of all kinds
dairy calves, baby beeves, swine,
poultry, sheep, sewing, thrift, can
ming and baking-than ever before.
More than 700 of Stearns countys
wide-awake boys and girls from the
farm, village, and cities will exhibit
their projects under the direction
of County Club Leader Frederick
WEIGH.
The cattle barns will be over
flowing with purebred and tubercu-
lar tested livestock. The question
of properly housing the poultry
will be a serious problem, while
the exhibits of sheep and swine will
reach very high standard.
Robert Swift Post, American Lee
glon, have assumed the burden of
putting over Fridays program, this
will also be st. Cloud and All
Stearns County day. Inasmuch as
Ringling's circus shows at st.
Cloud Friday 1t is expected that the
largest delegation from the Granite
City will attend Saturdays show.
1t is understood, however, that the
City of st. Cloud will have a float
in Fridays Industrial Parade which
will move from the City Park at
1890 P. M.
Realizing that conditions are not
normal the Fair officers have made
e general reduction in the price Of
admission. One admission this
year will admit an adult both af-
ternoon and evening. The grand
stand price has been reduced to 10
cents for each person, young or old.
Automobiles will be charged Is
cents days and free in the evening.
Friday and Saturday evenings the
gates will be thrown open at 900
O'Clock for those who desire to at
tend the dance only. There will be
three dances under the supervision
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce. The net proceeds of each
dance will go to the Fair Associa-
ton. Jack Kane's orchestra plays
Thursday and Friday evenings. SAT-
urday evening Herb Millers Dixo
Band will furnish the music.
The baseball tournament, which
will be held each afternoon during
the Stearns County Fair at Sank
Centre, has caused considerable in
terest and speculation as to the
ability Of the teams involved.
Brooten and Sank Centre have
been booked for the first afternoon,
Friday, August %. at $3.50 o'clock.
These two teams played q twilight
game some time ago and Brooten
defeated Sank Centre by the score
Of 2 to /. bud" Lewis was on the
mound for the Sank Centre outfit
and allowed only three hits. The
game was q pitchers duel, as Rem
gel, Of Brooten, held the locals to
eight scattered hits. This should
be mighty good game.
Freeport and Melrose will meet
Saturday afternoon, August 20.
These teams played two twilight
games, each winning one Of them.
They are very evenly matched and
battle royal should be the result
when they meet on the local dia-
mond.
