EXHIBIT SPACE FILLED

Striking two days of anything
but "fair" weather, the Red
wood county fair board decided
Wednesday noon to continue
the fair program through Fri

gram forward one day.
This means that the north
western 2::24 stake pace, the

will be on Thursdays program,
besides an all-star ball game,
grandstand attractions and 9TH
er events as previously adver-
tised.
Fridays program will include the
free-for-all trot or pace and the 2:14
trot, the Ford and pig race, an ALL
Star ball game and other attractions.
Wednesdays crowd far exceeded
what was expected in the early morn
ing. More than 500 cars were on the
grounds during the race program,
indicating crowd of 1900 to 1000
persons, many of whom witnessed
the races. Tuesdays races were can
celled and entry fees paid back but
when it was decided to extend the
fair, the classes were reopened and
the races run.
High Wave of Selby, South Dakota,
wha has a record here as a PAGER Of
2:O61a and who only this year was
converted into trotter, won the 2:18
trot by capturing three frsts. The
fastest time was 2:15. DR.. James OF
Sac City, Iowa won three seconds for
second money. Peter Frisco Of st.

money and Willis Watts of Des
Moines, Iowa, won fourth money.

Des Moines won two seconds and q
first for second money; Nina Dens-
more of Minneapolis won three thirds
and Robert OBrien won three four
tbs. The fastest time was 2:15h.
No ball games were played Tues
day or Wednesday in the ,All-Star
series between picked Straight Eight
and Big Six league teams but if con-
ditions are at all favorable, the race
for the $50 purse will start Thursday,
the second game being played Friday.
All ball games will be at 10 a. m.
and race programs at 1:30 p. m.
Although the weather entry day
was unfavorable, the number and
quality of exhibits is normal in most
departments and well above in sew
eral. The All club department has
record number Of entries and
judges had difficult task picking
the winners during the drizzling rain
Tuesday.
The women's department is well
filled with tempting edibles, including
bread, cakes, cookies, canned goods
and many other foodstuffs. Another
section of the main exhibit building
is packed with clothing and fancy
work of every variety, the product of
many painstaking hours. In another
wing, grains and vegetables on dis
play indicate that some sections of
the county escaped the drouth.
In case in one part of the build
ing, near hundreds of beautiful paint
ings, is an exhibit of wood carving
brought in by Selmer Helgeson of Bel
view. Silhouettes, scenes, beautiful
chest and other articles, IA pieces in
all, are on display. Near this ex-
hibit is the flower show and the ex-
hibit Of the Redwood Falls Green
house, always one of the beauty
spots of the fair.
Many merchants availed them
selves of the opportunity to show
their wares. Cars, furniture, stoves,
washing machines, lamps, refrigerat-
ors, fagm machinery, pottery and
glassware are displayed both in booths
and in private exhibit buildings.
The unusual number of race entries
and Al animals crowded the barn
space and tent had to be, provided
to house some of the farm exhibits.
The cattle, hog and sheep pens are
filed with the choicest of livestock
from Redwood and nearby county
farms. Spectators gave special at
tention to exhibits Of al kinds dur
ing the early days Of the fair while
the well filed pike had little busi-
ness for it was Tar more comfortable
in the buildings than in the open.
