the state which keeps up the old fash
ioned way. The. big pumpkins, the fut
pigs, the sleek horses, crocheted laoes,
piece. 1 li.il ml Is, pop corn, bashful
hays and giils etc., etc., are all a pari
of the euiiiitv for in Albion this year.
just the same as it was at their first an
nual fair, which lmpiened nineteen
years ago, only all are on a larger scale.
Ailerall, what is more enjoyable than
a qod county fair. Anil Boone county
appreciates the henetits as well as
pleasure?, derived from a fair.
Among the Cidumhus people who
visucd the fair lait week, which was
held fioin Tuesday to Friday, were:
Wm Swartsdey, .1. E. Fullmer. I. .1.
McCill'rey, George Scott, James Navels,
Mii Mabel Ni-vels, John Dawson, Fred
Driiiiiiiii.inl mill Luther North.

Thnis.lay was the big day, 12.000

remaikuble fealuics about the fair is
the enclosure about the grounds. Only
two rows of barb wire fence is stretched
to keep the crowd out, fir rather to re
mind them that they should pay to get
in. The authorities claim they have no
trouble from fence sneaks.

Week of Sport
Last Saturday the fast Belgrade ball
team came down to our city loaded to
the tnuzzel with fast men and under
took to take a game from the locals, but
"not yet."
The famous Indian Mallroy pitched
for the visitors, bnt this fact did not
win them anything as onr boys gave
him his bumps proper and won out by
a score of G to 1. It should have been n
clean shut-out.
Captain Lobr was on the slab for the
locals and while he was touched up in
an inning or two. he kept the visitors
safely on his stall and led his players to
easy victory.
A good crowd was present and, al
though the score was small, yet the
game at times was lifeless and lacked
ginger. No important features occured
during the play anless it was the coach
ing of Judge Curtis and two "fair ones"
in the grand stand. Umpire, Mahnffey.
Tomorrow the locals go to Madison to
play at the fair for a purse of $75. This
game is expected to lie a fast one and
that purse looks good to Manager Cor
bett and the rest of the crew.
Friday the Omaha league team will
play here and this will sure be the big
one of tbe season. The locals will be
strengthened by several league players
and there will be no snaps tucked
away on the field for either side. After
we clean up the Oraahas, the boys go
next day to Belgrade for a game. So
you see our boys have their bands full
this week, and great things are expected
of the whole bnnch.
Center fielder Spencer arrived last
night and w ill join the Columbus club
for tbe balance of the season. He just

Last Saturday the first foot ball game

boys were heavier, and had other advan
tages in their favor. In the evening after

entertained by the basket ball girls at
