COUNTY FA I It A SUCCESS. The county fnlr closed last even ing, and while there wore a number of disappointments as there always are tho fair as n whole was a successful one. In point or exhibits the full allotment of spaco was taken. The exhibits of small grain and grasses, so artistic ally arranged by Mr. Oilman, was moro complcto ithan ever boforo, tho wheat samples being taken from fields tliht are averaging forty-five and fifty bushels per acre. Jn the vegetable line the display was large, notwithstanding that the cool, wot summer lias been unfavorablo for this class of products. Vegetables from both tho Irrigated and dry sections woro shown, and in a number of In stances tho products of tho dry fann ers woro equnl if not superior to those raised by Irrigation. Tho collective displays by Illnman precinct, an Irrigated section and Sel lers precinct, a tnblc land precinct, woro oxceptlonaly good, as was also tho variegated display from Payne pre clnct. Tho lato season was detrimental to tho best display of corn, which Is Lin coln county's principal crop. Howev er, there was an abundance of corn stalks bearing Immenso cars in the "roasting" stage, which gave evidence of n heavy yield If early frost does not come. Thoro wns a large display of apples and plums, and pears. The exhib it of apples gave evidence that this fruit can bo most successfully raised In Lincoln county. Especially lino was tho showing mndo by tho Orcenhurnlo fruit farm and from tho orchards of Illnman precinct. In the ohlna, fancy work, domestic science and lloral departments tho ex hibits woro largo, many exqulslto pieces of china nnd nccdlqwork being on display. The work of the schools of tho county attracted much atten tion by roason of Its vorledness and ciovornoss. Tho llvo stock exhibit was such as to fill every stall and pen, and tho nnl- mnis oxiilblted woro fine. Thov wore howovor, only specimens of thoao to bo louim nu ovor tho county, for Lincoln comity stock-growors aro yearly Im proving mo quality or their horses came and hogs nnd arc profiting there by. Whllo tho attendance Wednesday mm ycsioruay waB vory large, It was somownat disappoint nir that the nt. tendance of farmors wns not Inrccr. It Is gcnorally accented that a nmmtv fair Is largely for tho benefit of the winner; no views what tho other fni low Is doing In tho wnv of famine mid fltodk-growng and Is thereby spurred to greater effort, and In this applica tion of efficiency he reaps a, roward. In .tho ainusomont line thoro woro disappointments, especially in regard .to .the aoroplan (lights. A now englno for tho machine had been ordored ship ped but when It arrived Tuesday night It wns found to be short a radiator, which In shipping had gono estray. Tracers wero Immediately sent out, nnd tho missing part was received Wednesday evenng, but toe late for a Jllght that day. Yestorday tho six or sevon men who camo with tho machine worked on It all day, and as tho hours passed would announco that they hoped to be ready to fly In "another half hour." These predictions wore mndi up to six o'clock, tho crowd the whllo patiently waiting. Finally Chairman Coates be came convinced that no (light would be made, and so announced, and tho qrowd dispersed. Tho failure of this, tho most Important amusoment evont, Ib deeply regrotted by all connected with tho fair, but the fault lies with tho aviator and not with tho commit tee or ofticers of tho fair. When tho committee secured the attraction, they thought that as It was a part of tho equlpmont of tho Nebraska National Guard and therefore backed by tho great state of Nobraslta, that there would ho no falluro; that It would surpass in equipment nnd efficiency any (hat mkht bo seeurud from an Individual or company, but In this the commlltoo was sorely disappointed rlho pony polo races proved at tractive, the players bolng young fnnn- ors or mo soiuii side. Through prae. Hue the players had become vorv ef. flclont and tho contests woro watched witn much interest by large crowds oLspoututors. In tho ball game Tuesday on tho fair ground, tho Roosters defeated tho Rig Springs tenm by a seoro of twelve to one. Tho Stapleton team was to hnvo boon horo Wodnosday, hut failed to appear, and the Roosters played a pick-up nine.
