THE COUHTY FAIR.
O
A Grand Success Magnificent Dis
play and Large Crowds Su-
perb Races.
The fair which closed Friday at this
place may be catalogued among the
most .successful undertakings in which
our people have ever engaged. Every
department is well represented , the
display of stock and farm products ,
and in plain and fancy needle work and
fine arts are simply magnificent , and a
pleasant surprise to all. Time forbids
our entering into a special mention of
the numerous meritorious exhibits to
be seen : at this time we cannot at
tempt to write but in general terms of
a really magnificent fVir. deferring until
a future time a more Icnjithy and spe
cific report thereof. In fact tho fair
if. , : ' credit and an honor to lied Willow
county , n.d marks an epoch in her
history of progress ? nd prosperity.

FAIR FAXCIKS.
Pool .selling is the curse of the race
tr.ick.
The crowds have been large , though
exceptionally sober and civil.
Next week we hope to give a com
plete list of the premiums awarded.
Good people , the premiums will be
paid at once commencing with Monday.
Be patient.
Vou ? i'vhtive observed the fact , but
Billy tt.trstow is a "starter" from "u way
back. Straight goods and no discount
is he.
Mercer of Burr Oak , Kansas , may
be a good horseman , but his ideas of
geographical distances are too liberal
to be orthodox.
The races up to the date of our go
ing to press , this afternoon , have been
"for blood , ' ' and exceedingly interest-
ins and exutinsr.
\ \ e have had the grandc.sk fair ever
held in Southwestern Nebraska , the
prophecies of the gambling fraternity ,
who have been entirelyshut out , " to
the contrary , notwithstanding.
In thorough bred and grade horses ,
cattle , sheep , pigs , etc. , the showing
was large and splendid. No one sup
posed that this section of the state
could produce such specimens.
The grand display of premium stock ,
Friday afternoon , elicited many com
plimentary remarks. The fact is that
Southwestern Nebraska is comiuf to
the front rapidly and permauentlv.
A few toughs from Cnlbertson tried
to run things at the gate , Thursday af
ternoon , but failed dismally. The
boys at the gate knew their business ,
and promptly fired the fiffendcrs , after
peeling a probiscis or two.
The atmosphere at the fair grounds
has been rather chilly for active oper
ations in the fakir
or tin-horn line , so
they have confined their nefarious
games to the city , a more congenial
clime , where they have been unmolested.
The agricultural exhibits in the
prominent points of variety and excel
lence are pronounced superior to the
showing made at the state fair in Iowa ,
by parties who attended both fairs.
And this 1ms been a dry season , you
know !
The exhibit * of lmrf > = . rattle , ( thor
oughbred and irnnle. ) farm products ,
plain and fancy neede-w ! irk , fine art ,
etc. , now to be seen upon the fail-
grounds , is marvelous for a new coun
try such as ours. They would do cred
it to any county in the state.
The school children attended the
fair , this afternoon , in a body , while
business generally was .suspended , the
people turning out en masse to attend
the exhibition , which has never been
equalled in extent or excellence in
Western Nebraska.
That the free-for-all trot , race , Friday
afternoonas , fiv.'d "is to be regie I tod

' < u < ! lir-r possible ttiMig nmler the

During the ! i:30 trot , Wednesday af
ternoon , Cling and None Such fouled ,
resulting in a sma-h-np , for Cling f
driver. Scott McCoy , who fortunately
narrowly escaped serious injury. Tho
affair was unfortunate , but we think
unintentional. Mr. McCoy has beei
doing his regular driving since , al
though considerably bruised.
Among the prominent drivers on the
grounds areV. : . S. Edwards. Charli
E. ; Charles Drakcly , None Such ; W.
W. Con-oil , Ktta 1J. and Pilot ; Brock-
Smith , Mat d Cook ; J. II. Penman ,
Kate Kwing and Tramp S. : L. M. Smith
Billie Button : Ed. Davis , Maud B.
J. W. Mercer , Friend Boy ; Scott Mc
Coy , I. Jay S. and others.
Excepting Omaha , the exhibitions
made in the j.peed ring were superior
in every consideration to any that have
occurred in Nebraska , this season. Ex
perienced horsemen so declare. The
races for the most part were most hotly
contested , and by reference to the re
port above , it will be seen that the
time in all the classes was not slow by
any means. The probabilities are that
the track at this place will be among
the National Association speed courses
by next year , the reputation made dur-
thc present meeting and at last year's ,
having catalogued it among the FIRST
in the west. May its luster never be
dimmed.

W. S WEBSTER. Principal.
* * eln a gentle reference to S. L. Green , in
last week'a Courier , its i.ngilistic editor reit
erates its charges of ISSS. but intimates in
extenuation of its present course , that the
Ethiopian-.can change his skin , the leopard
his spots. Whether the people of lied Wil
low county can be convinced of the truthful
ness of this violent assertion , November
will the more clearly indicate.
