Show First Emery County Fair is Huge Success The First Emory County Fail- came to an end last Saturday evening with all colors flying, seeming to suffer not one whit for being the initial experiment experi-ment to be undertaken by Emery county but, rather, seeming to be all the better for that fact. Jt was the opinion of all that it could not have heen better when the little time allowed al-lowed was taken into consideration, some vowing that, as it was, it had the former joint Carbon-Emery fairs beaten. beat-en. There could be little doubt entertained en-tertained on this score by anyone who compared the sports programs, while the agricultural and horticultural displays dis-plays surprised everyone, everything on display being a sample of the ordinary ordi-nary crops of the county, there having hav-ing been no idea of holding a fair this year until about a month ago, giving no one an opportunity of bringing in specially produced articles, as is ordinarily or-dinarily done. Bit: Sport Program The first day's sports opened with a pacing race between the Peacock horse and the Sitterud mare, both of Orangeville. Neither horse was in shape for pacing but the Sitterud animal ani-mal was declared the winner of three of the five heats. Andy Moore won the half-mile horse race on his Paradise horse, his two opponents, the Tuttle mare of of Orangeville and the Truman mare of Huntington, later running the race for a private decision, the Tuttle animal ani-mal winning. The half-mile between the Pettiti horse of Huntington and the gray Truman Tru-man mare would have been a pretty race had not the former horse bolted the track after completing the first lap, as they were running neck-and-neck when the accident happened. Harold Leonard of Huntington won the 100-yard dash from Arnold Berg of Castledale and later took the quar- ter from Bazel Lake, also of Castledale. Castle-dale. The relay horse race was won by Dave Seely of Castledale, running a-gainst a-gainst Paul Hering. The latter had some rather unruly horses and the second won he rode gave an improm-tu improm-tu bucking exhibition as he started out. The first day's ball game went to Castledale with a picked team, Huntington's Hunt-ington's picked team losing by the score of 6 to 10. Following the ball game, those interested in-terested in broncho-riding were given some good entertainment by Hering, on Old Ivy, followed by the brown Swasey horse; and by Wilkin of Or-angeville Or-angeville on the Xordell roan horse, and Smith of Victor on the Larsen gray horse which has earned quite a "'rep" hereabout. The latter two riders rid-ers did not stick their mounts quite as well as Hering but were both game to the last. A big dance was given in the E. S. A. hall Friday night with the Mohr-land Mohr-land orchestra furnishing the music. The dance hall was crowded and the dance was claimed by many to be one of the beet and most orderly big dances danc-es ever held in the county. Record Crowd Saturday If the huge crowd attending the fair on the first day could be called unexpectedly unex-pectedly large, that of Saturday, the second day, was even more so for evT eryone who could not attend both days' doings seemed to make a special spe-cial effort to be there for "Mohrland day" and no one had cause to regret the choice for good weather obtained throughout, and the sports and all were equal to, if not a shade better, than the day before. The pacing race was repeated the second day between the Peacock horse of Orangeville and the Seely mare of Castledale, driven by V. L. Acord. The latter won 'the first two heats of the three-heat race. The quarter-mile between the Reid mare of Orangeville, ridden by Tuttle; Tut-tle; the Truman gray mare, ridden by Truman; and the Paradise horse, ridden rid-den by Moore, was won by the latter, the Truman animal coming second. The half-mile was run by the Truman Tru-man bay mare and the Otteson horse, ridden by Moore, the former winning. win-ning. Saturday's relay horse race was a-gain a-gain won by Seely of Castledale, contesting con-testing against Andy Moore, the former form-er winning by nearly a lap. Another quarter-mile, run by the Pettey horse of Ferron, ridden by Hering, and the Tuttle mare of Qr-angeville, Qr-angeville, ridden by Andy Moore, was won by the latter. Saturday's ball game between Castledale Cas-tledale and Mohrland was won by Mohrland, the final score being 10 o 5. Fowler and Manchester worked as batterymen for the miners, while Iamph and Berg acted in like capacity capa-city for the local team. Following the ball game an exhibition exhibi-tion was given by the Mohrland first-aid first-aid and mine-rescue teams, the exhibition exhi-bition being given in the same ex- j pert manner that a real mine horror would bring forth. The first exhibition exhibi-tion represented the work to be gone through with a man found lying under un-der rock and timber with various injuries, in-juries, while the second represented a man found lying across track with a broken back. The helmet team followed fol-lowed with an exhibition of their work the representation covering the finding find-ing of a man lying in an entry after an explosion, the entry filled with poisonous gases. This exhibition was given closest attention and created the greatest interest perhaps, due to the odd appearance presented by the men with the helmets and oxygen apparatus appa-ratus on them. All the work of the boys was much appreciated, however, and was highly educational. The men composing tile team were as follows: V. A. Mclvean, manager, Lin Leavitt, Don Leavitt, Oscar Wal-leur, Wal-leur, Andy Beal, and Frank Jones. Lin Leavitt is captain of the helmet team. Following the ' first-aid work, the fair attendants were regaled with another an-other series of bucking exhibitions with Hering and Moore as chief performers, per-formers, the best feature of it all being be-ing presented when the Wilberg Short Horn bull was saddled by Hering and ridden by him for a few Interesting j moments, after which Mr. Hering, the best rider ever seen in these parts, left the animal's back the first time that young man has been thrown during dur-ing his stay here. The work of that old gentleman cow has never heen excelled ex-celled even at the state fair according accord-ing to many who are well prepared to say. 1.. C. Moore of Rochester acted "is official announcer for both days sports, and did full and magnificent justice to the job. Another dance in the local hall finished fin-ished up the day's entertainments and helped give the fair a fitting finish. A right lively shower made its appearance ap-pearance before any one was stirring Sunday morning too late, however, to mar in any way the unqualified success of our first county fair. The officers of the fair association are certainly entitled to the unstinted praise of every public-spirited man and woman for the most creditable manner in which every feature of the fair was handled. There were some big problems to work out in order to make the fair the success it proved and these men and women at the head of the project worked day and night on these same problems and did it in the face of unjust criticism and flagrant flag-rant disloyalty in some quarters. The closing details connected with I the fair have not been entirely completed as yet, but the fair was as big a success financially as from any other point of view and, just as soon as these same matters can be arrang-payment arrang-payment of every award and every bill large and small contracted by the association, will be made in full. There has been some little delay in getting the cash awards tabulated as every man and woman connected with the association has many other matters mat-ters that must necessarily lay claim to some attention, but it is thought that checks covering practically all the a-wards a-wards will be in the mail by the end of next week or as soon thereafter as possible. We give below a portion of the a-wards a-wards made in some of the departments, depart-ments, the balance to follow next week. Some few errors may be discovered dis-covered in perusing this list, and if any are found it would be well to immediately im-mediately notify the officers of the association so that they may be corrected.
