COUNTV FAIR OPENS
WITH 1110 ATTENDANCE
Whllo tho grounds of tho Lincoln
county fair woro bpon Tuosday and
Wednesday for tho -reception and en
tering of exhibits, nnd qulto a largo
numbor visited tho grounds on thoso
ays, tho Tioal opening ook plnco
yestordny afternoon and nearly 3,000
peoplo vlowed Iho exhibits "and saw
tho racos. As early as two o'clock tho
grand stand was filled to its 1000 seat
ing capacity, half tho bleachers were
filled, 200 or more nutos woro sta
tioned on tho quarter stretch, and
sovoral hundred lined tho fence. More
than half of thoso In nttendnnco wero
out-of-town peoplo? which can be tnk
on as ovldonco that tho farmers aro
lntorostcd In county fairs.
Tho park presonts a county fair
npponrnnco with Its exhibit hall, stock
barn, cattle and hog sheds, tho big
grand stand and tho long stretch of
high bleachers, and tho midway with
Its morry-go-round, shooting gallory,
baby racks, sldo shows and lunch
counters. For the weary, seats are
provided In tho main grovo and In tho
small grove to tho oast, but as tho air
was somewhnt chilly yesterday tho
visitors on tho grounds kopt moving
all tho tlnio.
Tho live stock exhibit Is larger
than ever befor.o, ' and especially of
cattlo. Ono exhibitor Bhows eight tor
ton head of Gnlloways, Frank Strol
'berg has a number of flno Shorthorns,
thoro aro Holstolns from tho state
farm and from tho Albert Cooledgo
ranch, and thoro aro Durhams, and a
number of other breeds; ovory stall
In tho cattlo sheds Is "occupied. There
Is a splendid exhibit of horses and
Jacks, tho horso barn boing filled to
tho limit. Only on hogs is tho exhibit
light, nnd this is duo to the prevalence
of cholera In sovoral sections of tho
county, grcwors not caring to take
tho chances of having their herds in
fected. The poultry and pot stock exhibit is
housed in a largo tent and ovor ono
hundred pens aro on exhibition. This
exhibit was judged Wednesday aftor
noon, premiums awarded and tho tags
indicate prlzo winners.
Tho west sldo of the general exhibit
hall is devoted to tho agricultural dis
play and tho cast sido largely to school
work and flno arts. Tho farm products
considering tho unfavorable season,
show up strong, especially Is this truo
of corn and small grain. Tho dis
play of vegetables Is good, cabbago
showing up weaker than any other
article. Thoro is a flno exhibit of ap
ples, and several plates of good look
ing peaches and pears aro shown. In
tho flno arts department tho display
is very liberal, hundreds of pieces of
needlo work and painting being en
tered. The display tof school work,
both from rural and city schools Is
very Interesting and creditable. Flow
ers and potted plants aro prominent
and add cheerfulness to tho hall. Tak
en as a whole the exhibits In tho various-
departments aro very crcdltablo
and surpass those of previous years.
Tho exhibit by tho state agricultural
college, contained In a largo tent Is
ono of unusual Interest. Hero Is
shown tho relative nutrlclous value
of foods, tho santltatlon of farm sur
roundings, samples of canned and pro
served fruits, woman's club work on
tho farm is Illustrated as is also the
competltlvo corn growing contests by
boys- and competitive work by girls
In fact overy phase of farm work, farm
conditions and farm life is treated.
Ono of tho busiest places on tho
grounds Is tho tent whoro tho bettor
babies contest Is conducted. In this
contest there are nearly a hundred
ontrios, and tho physicians and
nurses in chargo woro rushed all af
ternoon. Tho Lexington flour mill has. a tent
In which baking demonstrations aro
hold, and tho quality of tho flour Is
evidenced by tho excellont appearing
bakery goods.
Tho afternoon rncos nnturally
caught tho crowd. There woro run
ning races, and trotting rnces, and of
course tho bucking broncho and tho
cowboy were present and both per
formed. Tho bronks woro not par
ticularly bad ones, ,but tho riding .of
them was good nmusemont whllo It
lasted.
Tho race program was a featuro
that met tho hearty commendation of
all, for ovory event was a good one
In tho pacing raco tho swiftest heat
was 2:15, which was a flno showing
on a now track that is somewhat soft.
This raco was a pretty one, tho two
horses keeping well togothor, The
trotting raco was also good, tho
wild horso raco was full of gingor,
and tho other events kept up tho en
thusiasm of tho big crowd.
Tho racos today and tomorrow
promlso to bo equally as good.
