Show 2 CarbonEmery Fair Comes to an End Ending in another blaze of glory with the big part of the success du to our own county of Emery, the third Carbon-Emery counties fair came to an end last Thursday evening even-ing with the ball in the high school building furnishing a fitting fit-ting climax to the "big doinV. Needless to say, Maroney with his airship, proved to be the big thing of the fair, this one feature alone attracting ct people who, perhaps, would never have thought of attending or the fair, and with the witnessing of Maroney 's capers in the air at least 95 per cent of those who saw Lis airship did so for fc the first time in their life. I The exhibits were all good both in the way of pro of ' ducts on display and the livestock shown and all went toward boosting even higher in the estimation of strangers and home people alike the good that can cojne out of eastern Utah w hen k . efforts are intelligently directed. Each day a ballgame and other sports )i were staged in front of the grandstand, ,J one of the most interesting of the sport " features being a race between the air-'' air-'' shiD and an automobile. Dr. Hardeman of Castledale also ran a race in his "Tin Lizzie," against the Gutheil & Broeker car of the same description, the latter easily winning after getting well started start-ed bv reason of its higher gearing. Tuesday's flying exhibition was somewhat some-what a disappointment, the aviator not endeavoring to make much of a flight on tnat day, though on Wednesday he gave them all their money's worth and then some. No exhibition was given on Thursday, the Inst day of the fair, it being nejessary for Maroney to pack and get off to Salt Like where he flies during State Fair week. The exhibition room and yards were even superior to the exhibits of the preceding pre-ceding years and it is plain to be 8' en that a great deal of good is being done in the way of encouraging competition a id the striving toward better products from one year to another. Where it was doubted by many that a fair would be at all successful in this country we now have each vear exhibits that cannot can-not be beaten anywhere in the state and the interest in the annuil fair increasing increas-ing each year. |
