Agricultural Fair.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather on Wednesday and Thursday last, a very large number of people were in attendance at the Agricultural Fair. As this was the first exhibition of the kind ever gotten up by the farmers of this district, it could not be expected that it would compare with the annual county or State Fairs of Societies which have been organized for a number of years. It was, however, of such a character as gave cheering prospect of the future and ultimate success of the establishment and perpetuation of a Society which will not only benefit the members thereof, but community at large.

Rev. B. F. Morris addressed the members of the Society in a most forcible and eloquent manner, and we are glad to learn that his address will be published in pamphlet form and distributed among the people.

The various articles on exhibition elicited the admiration of all present. We have not time this week to give a detailed account of all the proceedings. The following we take from the Republican:

THE FAIR AT VEVAY
Was Viewed by Thousands—87 Exhibitors Made a Grand Display of 379 Articles.

Last Saturday was a gala day in Vevay—the weather being delightful and the town filled with happy people. They viewed the water works, saw the firemen throw water very high in the air, enjoyed walking on the finest sidewalks in the State, drove over smooth streets with covered gutters, were sheltered from the sun by the magnificent trees in Court House Square, feasted their eyes on the grand display of the products of the soil and the artistic skill of the people of Switzerland county, met their friends—and all were made wiser and happier.

Here is what was shows:
243 exhibits of apples, 17 of pears, 5 of grapes, 11 of quinces, 3 of plums, 2 of peaches, 17 of potatoes, 1 of onions, 2 of pumpkins, 3 of melons, 15 of corn, 9 of wheat, 1 of clover seed, 1 of timothy seed, 23 of tobacco; 18 of jellies, preserves, &c.; 7 of bread and cakes, 7 of flowers.

The different Townships were represented by the following number of exhibitors:
Jefferson 31, Craig 33, Pleasant 19, Cotton 3, York 1, Posey none.

Posey with her fine farms and rich bottoms should do better. Perhaps next year that Township will make a showing that will carry away most of the premiums.

The following persons received premiums on fruit:

• Maiden Brush; 1st Jasper N. Brindley, 2d John Houze.
• Smith Cider; 1st George W. Cole; 2d J. C. Smith.
• Roman Beauty; 1st Edgar Culbertson, 2d Geo. J. Waltz.
• Wine Sap; 1st J. O. Houze, 2d Wm. H. Means.
• Rambo; 1st Robert Shaw, 2d J. N. Brindley.
• Yellow Bellflower; 1st Joseph Ramseyer, 2d J. O. Houze.
• Tulpehocken; 1st J. H. Houze, 2d Levi Orem.
• Rawls Janet; 1st J. N. Brindley, 2d Edgar Culbertson.
• Baldwin; 1st Joseph Bliss, 2d Geo. J. Waltz.
• Northern Spy; 1st Geo. W. Cole, 2d Edgar Culbertson.
• Grimes Golden; 1st Jas. S. Rutherford, 2d Geo. W. Cole.
• Vandever Pippin; 1st J. O. Houze, 2d Geo. J. Waltz.
• Clayton; 1st Geo. W. Cole, 2d Harry C. Shaw.
• Crabs; 1st J. O. Houze, 2d J. F. Brown.
• Best General Collection, J. O. Houze.

Some fruit out of all exhibits, as well as those awarded premiums, were selected to be taken to the State Fair.

John Houze secures the special prize, 25 choice fruit trees, offered by Frank Milhous, the nursery man.

The awards on corn were as follows:

• White Corn; 1st Wm. W. Brindley, 2d Wm. H. Means.
• Yellow Corn; 1st Ira Banta, 2d Jos. Bliss.
• Best Collection of Corn, Ira Banta.

The premiums on wheat were as follows:

• Red Wheat; 1st Wm. Glenn, 2d Wm. Glenn.
• White Wheat; 1st Robert McFadden.
• Amber Wheat; 1st Wm. Glenn, 2d Edgar Culbertson.
• Best Collection, Robert McFadden.

Clover and timothy seeds.

• Clover Seed; 1st Edgar Culbertson
• Timothy Seed; 1st James Ramseyer.

Switzerland County being the banner of tobacco raising county of the State, it was naturally expected that there would be much friendly rivalry. Out of 23 exhibits, Charles Sauvain, of Craig Township, received first premium of $5, and Silas E. Silvers, of Pleasant, received the second premium of $2.50.

Experienced tobacco men say that they never looked upon a finer display.

Considering the unfavorable season, the public opened their eyes wide with astonishment when they saw the big “taters.” Premiums were awarded as follows:

• Peerless; 1st Harry C. Shaw, 2d Geo. J. Watz
• Early Ohio; 1st Jos. Bliss.
• Beauty of Hebron; 1st Jos. Ramseyer, 2d Jos. Bliss.
• Canada Victor; 1st Jas. F. Taylor, 2d Robt. McFadden.
• White Elephant; 1st Geo. J. Waltz.
• Chicago Star; 1st Mrs. B. N. Northcott.
• Best collection of six varieties, Robt. McFadden.
• Collection Sweet Potatoes, 1st S. D. Lockwood.

Onions and Peaches:

• Collection Onions; 1st Joseph Ramseyer.
• Collection Peaches; 1st William Berner.

A very fine display of pears was on exhibition, and the awards were as follows:

• Bartletts; 1st Robt. Shaw; 2d. Geo. W. Cole.
• Sicket; 1st Robt. Shaw, 2d Geo. J. Waltz.
• Keiffer; 1st Geo. J. Waltz, 2d Robt. Scott.
• Best collection, Robt. Shaw.

Grapes and Quinces:

• Best collection grapes; 1st Barbara Stucy, 2d S. D. Lockwood.
• Quinces; 1st J. O. Houze, 2d Cornelius Cordon.

The east side of the court house was transferred into a “bower of beauty.” The finest blooming flowers, climbing vines, fancy ferns, waving palms, both cut and growing, greeted the eye.

For best collection of flowers: 1st Mrs. Jane Morerod; 2d Mrs. Susie W. Scoot.

Best collection ferns; Mrs. James Knox.

Other exhibits were perhaps just as fine, but not so numerous.

Table comforts in abundance were to be seen. The lady Judges reached their conclusions as speedily and satisfactorily as the gentlemen.

The following premiums were granted:

• Best collection of jellies; Mrs. S. D. Lockwood, 2d Mrs. Lucinda Oakley.
• Best collection of preserves; 1st Mrs. S. D. Lockwood, 2d Mrs. Rillie Mennet.
• Best collection canned fruit; Lucinda Oakley, 2d Mrs. Rillie Mennet.

Vevay Reveille – 19 Sep 1895 – Page 8, Column 1

THE ENTERPRISE FAIR
Has come and gone. Just as we predicted, it was a success. We had about ten thousand witnesses to prove our statement.

Yes, and they had water there, and horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, grain, seeds, vegetables, and fruits; about all kinds of domestic animals and farm products known to this latitude, and the specimens were truly fine.

Yes, and the fast horse was there.

The best time in the free for all pace, 2:20. One half mile in this race was made in 1:11.

That is the fastest time ever made on this track in pacing or trotting. In this race:

• Ivy G., owned by A. C. Bonham, Cleves, Ohio, took the 1st.
• McGinty Lady, Geo. S. Richardson, Madison, Indiana, 2d.
• Adlai, Morgan C. Davis, Rising Sun, 3d.

In the free for all trot, best time 2:30:

• Mamie Phillips, Jas. Phillips, China, Indiana, 1st.
• Black King, J. R. Stark, Sulphur Station, Kentucky, 2d.
• Cheyne, B. T. Buford, Lexington, Kentucky, 3d.

Running race, time 52:

• Whisper, Ed. Marshall, Warsaw, Kentucky, 1st.
• Lee Gridley, Chas. Gregory, Warsaw, Kentucky, 2d.
• Cooney Cobb, L. S. Delf, Elliston Station, Kentucky, 3d.

Green trot, time 2:31: Rand 1st; Geo. Evans 2d; Flossie 3d.

Three minutes pace, time 2:33. Wilkes B 1st; Adlai 2d; Susie 3d.

Three minutes trot, time 2:40. Rand 1st, Feardoom 2d; Margarette 3d.

We can’t name all the exhibitors of horses in draft, general purpose, light harness, saddle and teams, therefore we name none. We only say there were shown 52 rings of horses and mules. Most of them were full and fine, eight or nine in some rings.

The show of cattle was also good. The exhibitors of dairy cattle, Jerseys, &c., were Geo. Bunger, J. H. Beckett, M. V. Turner, Bell Bovard, C. L. Lee, Albert Houze, A. P. Goodner, and J. M. Hall.

Exhibitors of beef cattle, short horns, &c., were Wm. Bunger & Son, M. V. Turner, Wm. Cunningham & Son, James Gullion, and Walter S. Wilson.

The show of hogs were also large. Of large breeds, Poland, &c., &c., T. W. Lewis, Jas. Gullion, and Wm. Cunningham & Con.

Hogs of smaller breeds, Berkshire, &c. Exhibitors, H. L. Nowlin and T. W. Lewis.

The sheep were fine: South Downs, Cunningham & Pate. Oxford Downs, John Bakes, Wm. Cunningham & Son. Shopshire Downs, Stephen J. Searcy, Cunningham & Pate. Sweepstakes, John Bakes, Cunningham & Pate.

Poultry exhibitors: C. L. Lee, Curtis Gullion, Wm. Cunningham & Son, H. L. Nowlin, John Davis, and others.

The display of grain and vegetables, fruits, &c., was very large and fine. Can’t name exhibitors; scores of them.

The ladies department was filled to overflowing with about everything good to eat and wear and please the fancy.

The ladies bicycle race did not materialize. They have probably learned from their association with men that there is possibility of being beat in this world. After the novelty has worn off a little and they have had more experience in cycle riding, they doubtless will enter in the contest and make as fair a record in this, “compared with men,” as they have in other professions and business. We know the women are a success in everything they undertake and we are glad of it.

The Men’s Bicycle Race was hotly contested.

• Frank May, North Vernon, Indiana, 1st.
• S. Howard, Ghent, Kentucky, 2d.
• John Fehr, Vevay, Indiana, 3d.

We only got the time on 1/2 mile, 1:24.

Altogether there were more than 1500 separate entries besides many articles in collections. All of which were on exhibition. The receipts were sufficient to pay all premiums and expenses of Fair and a little surplus, without selling bonds.

Now to those few persons who stand on the corners, like the good Phariscc, “and thank God that they are not like other men,” and would not go to a fair for fear some bad person might be there; we have only to say that thousands of people as god by nature and presumably better by practice than you, were there, and they got away alive. Please don’t throw stones at them. There may have been a few toughs on the fairgrounds but far the greater number of this class stayed outside as you did and miles from the fairground is where most thieving and lawlessness prevailed. Some boys got into an altercation at the far, they were arrested promptly. Another man was caught handling whiskey, he was arrested and put under bond for appearance at Court. Say did you ever hear of such misdemeanors, except on the fairgrounds. The Society maintains her credit for very large and orderly assemblages of the better class of people, for large and fine exhibits of the best products of the country, for the prompt payment of premiums and indebtedness, and she will be heard from again in the year 1896, most assuredly.

NOTES OF THE FAIR.

There were 176 entries of horses at the Fair, several registered horses, thoroughbred horses, and as fine specimens of horseflesh as can be found within fifty miles of this place; some of them came farther.

There were five races, two on Wednesday, known as the three-minute trot and pace. In the trot the time was 2:43; Black Wilkes, owned by David Johnson, 1st money; Charles Banning, owned by Wm. Furnish, 2d money. In the pace, Jerry, owned by Frank Buffington, 1st money; Joe Longfellow, owned by Chas. Sheets, 2d money; time 2:59.

In the trot on Thursday, Bennett, entered by J. A. Works, 1st money; Lillie H., owned by L. E. Stuart, 2d money; time, 2:43. The track was heavy and soft from rain just fallen, else the time might have been much better, perhaps 2:30.

The running race was at the same time and track heavy. One horse, Fred Fisher, owned by B. & J. Blue, fell in this race. Toolem, owned by J. Cunningham, won 1st money; Matonia Bird, owned by Geo. Cook, 2d money; time 58 seconds, one half mile dash.

On Friday, Singer, owned by L. E. Stuart, of Clark county, Ind., 1st money (time said to be 2:29); 2d money, Jerry B., owned by W. M. Shuman.

The exhibit of cattle was not so large as might have been. There were 26 entries, only one herd of short horns, owned by Wm. Bunger & Sons.

Of hogs, there were 26 entries of both large and small breeds. Some fine specimens of porkers.

Of sheep, there were 21 entries, Wm. Cunningham & Sons showing the finest flock.

Of poultry, the display was good. C. L. Lee and Thos. Lazenby were the largest exhibitors. There were 50 coops.

There was $1250 paid on the livestock above enumerated.

In the vegetable and grain departments, the show was not large, only 75 entries. The presumption is that it was thought that the country being so full of superior articles in these classes, competition would be so strong that it would not pay to compete, and the early season of the Fair no doubt cut short this exhibit.

The show in flowers and fine arts was good.

The exhibit in farm implements and machinery was not up to the standard.

In the ladies’ departments, the show in fine needlework, etc., the entries were 265, and in the pastry department, including all delicacies, the entries were 200.

The total entries of the Fair were 1050, against 1200 last year.

The attendance of the people was good Thursday, estimated at 4000.

Friday eve, think there were 7000 people on the grounds, and, as far as we could judge, a very orderly and well behaved assemblage.

Nothing very startling occurred that came to our knowledge. One horse, running, flew the track, somersaulted over the fence with his rider; both got a hard fall, but were able to get up and try it again. The rider’s name was Frank Cook; not seriously hurt.

On man had his elbow dislocated by the kick of a colt when showing in the ring.

The society, financially, we understand, comes out all right—paying all premiums and expenses in full and also an indebtedness of $300, and will have a few hundred to begin business with another year.

The Secretary tells us that when all accounts have been settled and books audited an exact statement of receipts and expenditures for the year will be published.

THE FAIR.
Races, Balloon Ascension—Slightly Damp, but All Premiums Paid—A Good Fair, Etc.

In the three-minute trot there were eight starters in the race, namely: Brown Jug, Pilot Wood, Blue Dick, Andy J, Honest Duke, Bob Lee, White Face, and Charling Banning. White Face was awarded premium—first in all three heats; Honest Duke, second; Blue Dick, third. Best time, 2:56.

In the three-minute pace there were six in the race: Gov. Foraker, May Wilkes, John F, Jerry, Golden Ball, and Diamond. John F. received first premium—winning all three heats; Jerry, second; May Wilkes, third. Best time, 2:55.

In the free for all trot there were six in the race: Contract, Lost Boy, Billy Terrell, Rowdy Boy, White Face, and Warren S. Four heats. Lost Boy received first premium; Billy Terrell, second. Best time, 2:41.

In the free-for-all pace four horses started in the race: Gov. Foraker, Hallie C, Frank H, and Emma H. Frank H was the winning horse in all three heats; Emma H second in all three heats. Time, 2:36.

Owing to the rain the track was soft on inside, and the horses were driven well out from the ring, making the distance traveled something more than a mile, and probably five or six seconds difference in time.

THE FAIR
At East Enterprise—Large Attendance and Good Display

PREMIUMS AWARDED.

It had been oft repeated that owing to the severity of drought, the scarcity of water, the dust, and depressed feeling of the people on account of shortage of crops, “the Enterprise Fair would be a failure this year.” We are pleased to record that the prediction and not the Fair has failed. As proof we refer to the 6,000 people in attendance on Friday of the Fair; we point to the 1,100 articles entered for premiums, the exhibition of horses (never better), the cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, machinery, farm and musical instruments, and the ladies’ department, needle work and table delicacies, so very full and fine. The potatoes and vegetables were twice as large as we had anticipated, and the fruits and grains a good display. The receipts will enable the society to meet its obligations, and all accounts be squared, as promised. Thanks to the people, exhibitors and visitors, for their liberal support and patronage. The premium winners were:
