well as an animal show. The lat

its kind the writer ever saw. The
banners in front of the show de-
picted only those things which
they had in truthful manner and
the show was unusual.
A regrettable incident Sunday
was the accident on the Octopus,
when one Of the cabs left the ma

They were cared for by local doc
tors Immediately, and 1t was found
they were not seriously injured.
A ball game at the fair, with
"Adolph Hitler" as the target, drew
considerable attention, and numer-

to drop him from his perch into
the tank Of water below. They did
their work against this most hat
ed individual with a vengeance.
Numerous concessions, shooting
galleries, skeet shoots, games and

which took on a lively aspect on
Sunday, after a partial "blackout'
Friday and Saturday. Fair offic-

their diligence in securing the add

day event.
Financial success of the fair was
assured by the large attendance
Sunday and Friday, and the large
grandstand receipts of Friday af-
ternoon and Sunday afternoon.
Sunday nights crowd fingered on
the grounds until a late hour taking
advantage of the improved mid
way, as a fitting climax to the
1941 Stearns County Fair.
