Exhibits far Beyond Anything Attempted and Greatest of Free Attractions. The 32d annua! fair of the Red wood county agricultural society has passed into history. The lights were extinguished at the close of the most successful fair ever held in Redwood county and probably the greatest free attraction show ever held by any agricultural so ciety in the state. Men who have made it a business travelling around and exhibiting at county fairs, and men who have seen the exhibits, state positively that the action of the Redwood society was the bold est attempt at entertaining the pub lic free of charge that has ever be fore been pulled oflf. A word as to the decorations, for which the committee is entitled to so much credit. A huge grain arch on the corner of Second and Wash ington was the principal feature, but after all the prettiest and most inspiring decoration was that of stretching the thousands of corded flags in a zig-zag manner around the four business streets of the city, and in the center of each block sus pending a huge flag. Telephone poles in this territory were all draped in the national colors. Bus iness bouses were profuse with decorations and everywhere showed hustling on the part of the commit tee. When we announced in this paper last week that the world's greatest flying trapeze artists had been secured for the occasion no O V ~-i V: V %r 1*^' i "i f!: ^'2 «,"" -, r« y -," £T -. -, .• «. *3*v*t r* J*v.-5jV.WTjj^1 vj? v i--t•_, *..fa VOLUME XXXVII.

The family per formed every part of their contract, and the public showered upon them the crowns so well worn—that of being all that they had claimed for them, the world's greatest trapeze Before artists. And in addition the six people were gentlemen and ladies who won a high place in the esteem of the residents of the town.

The Primrose quartette of colored jubilee singers, contracted and signed, failed to put in their ap pearance, and this led to a great benefit to the spectators, as it re suited in the Banvards doing i bounding board act, something en tirely new and novel for this sec tion, and highly interesting to wit ness. It also gave the public Bur nett, a balancing trapeze ortist, in clown uniform, and he made good on every occasion. Still further, it gave them Garveeno, one of the fin est contortionists in the world, who entertained his audience on Friday for two performances. At noon Thursday Oliver Dun ham's stock parade was pulled off and the horse exhibit was one of the finest in the country. The cat tle exhibit was not up to that of previous fairs. This was the only exhibit that fell short, everything else excelling all past attempts, and the exhibit in court house hall pro duced the most enthusiastic eoconi ums. APPLES AND CORN.

If the Redwood county fair for 1905 had failed iu every other fea- 4 a iputh-watering variety 1 ft li! JltlLM grown here this year would have been sufficient to warrant the so ciety in holding the fair. But it was not a failure at any other point it was a crowning success, and if people who remained away had only appeared they would have un derstood what success meant. ReturoiDg to the apple exhibit it was the greatest ever witnessed in these parts. Crab apples, Green ings, Baldwins, Ben Davis, and nearly every variety were on exhi bition, and best of all there was abundant proof to show that they were grown on Redwood county soil. The Winn exhibit of 15 differ ent varieties was sufficient to con vince people that all kinds of apples can be raised in Minnesota, and if that exhibit could be sent through the different eastern states for peo ple to gaze upon there would be a rich advertisement for Redwood county. Further, Thos. Whittet exhibited half a dozen varieties of half a bushel each, of the larger kind®, and every halfjbushel caused the spectators to wonder at Red wood county horticulture advance ment. Corn is king. Frost not having touched Redwood county fields up to the time that the fair came to a close and the fact that the fair it self was held late in the season, gave an opportunity for corn to ma ture to the fullest extent, and ex hibitors to place it on exhibition in the broadest terms. When before has Redwood county produced such magnificent ears of the various dents, of sweet and pop corn, as that exhibited? The memory of man runneth not to the contrary, and that exhibit, like the fruit, should be sent to the east as an ad vertisement for Redwood county.

Poultry, such as geese, ducks, chickens, etc., were on ex hibition in the rear of the vegetable and farm culture room, and vied with the latter in attracting people. AT THE COURT HQUSt Different Departments for Ladies Full of Interesting Exhibits, Up at the court house hali tiig various departments of art, culi nary, domestic, plants and flowers were all combined, and the domes tic and culinary departments far exceeded that of any previous fair in the line of exhibits, both from the standpoint of number and qual ity. In the domestic department, one thing was noticeaole—one thing that will be stopped as sure as there is another fair. A number of exhibits were the same as last year and some as previous years. The articles were the same. This means that the same articles were up for premium money more than once, and next year there will be a strin gent rule barring exhibits 0# this kind. The intention of the premfote1 law is that money shall be paid for something new produced or made since the last fair, and that law will be enforced. The domestic exhibit extended all around the room the culinary occupied a big corner, while art and plants and flowers had their places. In this hall, too, were the exhib its of the public schools of this city and of the dairy and food depart ment of the state, two of the most interesting events of the fair. The Redwood teachers and pupils fairly outdid themselves in the display— the teachers in artistically ar ranging what the little '-fellers" had so cleverly made. Kindergar ten work, drawings and the like were there, all of deep interest to spectators.

President Aune thinks that the new association more than carried out all promises, and every visitor says likewise. Prof. M. Lauterbach's band is al right. The boys played well, i played early, often and late, and never kicked on an assignment. They earned their stipend. Prof. Trenhom of the pure food exhibit expected more merchants to take advantage of bis show. Bat they were so busy that they could n't inspect an exhibit that was a great feature.
