Fair" will show increased receipt:
over the 1896 fair.
With the clean white building
showing a splendid contrast to the
grass carpet the grounds presented
the 1887 fair was worthy success
sor in all respects to the many goo(
fairs we have had in the past. Eacf
year young and old alike look for
ward to their annual trek to the
Morgan county fair where many new
acquaintances are formed and ole
should justly feel proud of their ac.
complishment this year, and from
the many compliments we have
heard the fair was well received
In most every department there
was well filled list Of exhibitors
The sheep department put up about
as good sheep show as has beer
seen here for some time. The same
may be said for the Jersey cattle
men. The other cattle breeds were
not so numerous as some previous
shows have had
The hall presented very attrac-
booths, All club exhibits, school dis
plays and the fruit and vegetable de-
partment exhibits.
For the wonderful All club ex-
hibits in both the boys and girls
departments, much of the credit
must go to the fine group of men
and women who labor INCREASINGLY
all summer, as leaders, and whose
only compensation is in seeing a job
we'll done.
The need for additional barn
space was emphasized again this
year, when it was made necessary to
tent, due to the crowded condition
of the cattle barn, and pen room in
the sheep barn was at premium.
In time of bad weather this is far
from satisfactory arrangement.
The stage production ''Lum and
Abner's Pine Ridge Follies" which
was presented on Thursday evening
was one of the standout stage attrac-
tions that has ever been presented
on any stage in this county. The mu-
sical revue which was presented on
Friday and Saturday evenings was
we'll received by large crowds on
both evenings. The fireworks dis
play of Saturday evening has drawn
much favorable comment, and would
bear repeating another year.
Fine school Displays
The school displays at the fair
We're outstanding. NJ. & M. took
first place: Chesterhill. second, with
Deavertown close third. One Of
the outstanding features of the
school exhibits was that of the man
ual arts department of the Reiners-
vile school, which it is stated ranks
high in rural Ohio schools. The
work was all by. hand, there being
no machine work of any sort in con-
nection with it. It is the plan to in
crease the educational exhibit de-
partment, SO that many other

Friday and Saturday afternoon, to
watch the horse races. While there
weren't any track records broken,
the races for the most, part were
clean and well contested. Results
