The agricultural exhibits, while not so good as in! some former years, was very creditable. It was shown that Bates is still a corn county when 93 samples of various varieties of that import- ant cereal was placed on exhibi- tion in the agricultural building. There were pumpkins, potatoes and great big watermelons, some of them weighing as much as 68 pounds. In the culinary department there were cakes of all kinds, fruit cake, layer cake, Angel food cake, Devil food cake, and each|” and everyone of them looked as though it should have had a blue ribbon. There were a large num- ber of entries in the bread and rolls class which showed that baking is not a lost art‘with the ladies of Bates county. The display of fine needlework was perhaps larger than at any previous fair. There were some fine samples of crochet work and all sorts of faney work. \ But the best part of the fair fine cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry. It was expected that Bates county would have a good display of hogs and the expectations were fully real- ized. There were Poland Chinas, English Berkshires, Durocs and Chester Whites and everyone of them was fit to show at any fair in the world. The cattle digplay was good, in fact it was the best of any Bates county fair of recent years. The breeds represented comprised Jerseys, Polled Angus and Short Horn, and they were all worth coming miles to see. There were 15 varieties of the standard breeds of poultry in a tent on the hill in the center of the grounds and while there was not so many exhibits as in some for- mer years, the class was there. The races each afternoon, were good, especially the running races, and everyone seemed to be run on its merits. During the week there were sev- eral automobile races and of course where there are automobile races there are thrills. Wednes- day afternon there was a free for all race with seven starters, The track was in good shape and good. time was made, Claude Mahan, driving a Ford, was first; Mart Butler, Dodge, second and C. E. Robbins, Ford, third. ‘Time for the five miles, 8:40. Friday afternoon a five mile race for six-cylinder cars was pulled off. There were three en- tries, two Buicks and one Saxon, but just before the start the Saxon developed engine trouble and was withdrawn leaving the Buicks to fight it out. The car driven by Alfred Newlon was the winner, covering the five miles in 7 :34. The Norflect & Ream novelty race. for Fords was one of the most interesting events of the fair and brought out 35 entries. All the contestants knew'was that the dis- tance was to be one mile, wheth- er it was to be a fast race, aslow race or a contest for good looking cars they hadn’t the slightest idea. The object of the race, which the drivers did-not know, was to make the mile in five minutes and Fred Wishard was declared the winner, having covered the mile in exact- ly five minutes. Marion Marstel- ler was second in 5 :04, Saturday afternoon there was another free for all five mile race which brought out four entries and was won by Harry Smalley, of Rich Hill in a stripped Ford which he called the ‘‘Titanic.’’ Time 8 minutes.
