V',*5 * The Fairs Compared. EDITOR PLAINDEALER.--I have thought your readers might be interested in partial comparison of the relative merits and demerits of the two agricultural fairs held this year, one in Liberty ville Lake County, and the other in Wood­ stock, McHenry county. Having attend ed both fairs I speak my judgment based on what I observed at the respective fairs. Both fain were favored with good weather; each had a large attendance, the McHenry county fair having its largest attendance nearly equalled, and Lake county having a larger attendance than ever before. The McHenry county fair far outdid the Lake county fair in its exhibit of live stock--that is, the exhibit was much larger. In the line of horses, Lake coun- ' ty showed a less number, but on the, whole a better class than McHenry coun­ ty. Of cattle, the same may be said as to numbers, but the cattle of McHenry county averaged of a higher grade thn.n those of Lake county. The sheep and hog exhibit were fairly equal as to grade and quality. The fruit was about equal, neither be- ing especially good. But Lake county far excelled in the vegetable department. The potato exhibit of Lake county was entitled to a national premium. In the Ladies' department McHenry county outdid Lake county. While Lake county ladies exhibited very many ele­ gant things, McHenry county ladies ex­ hibited a still more varied and extensive, if I dare not say more elegant, line of articles. In the line of farm machinery, wagons, carriages, etc., either of our two Wood­ stock dealers more than doubled the entire Liberty ville display. In the speed contests, the Lake county races were more satisfactory than at Woodstock. There did not crop out so many evidences of agreed contests. Three of the principal first monies were fairly earned, and just awarded, to the entries made by George Eldredge, of our eounty. Modesty, taking three minute race, Maggie R., free for all pacing, and Flora L. the 2:40. Then, too, first money in the running race came to Mc- •> Henry county. <8$ The wealth and social standing of the two counties as judged from the general appearance of the people at the respect- . ive fairs, from their dress, behavior, style of equipage that brought them to the fair, all bespeak an equality as near as may be. 1 venture the assertion that no two agricultural fairs in the state of equal number in attendance, can com pare favorably with those of Lake and McHenry counties, as to the average of well dressed and well behaved people, and the general average of good horses and elegant carriages bringing people to the fair. So much for a partial review of the merits of the two fairs, now a word as to their demerits. Lake county's charge of fifty cents for dinner required a person to eat too much to get the worth of his money. The tern perance practices of Libertyville forced too many suspitious looking bottles (of horse medicine, I suppose) on the fair grounds. The location and arrange­ ment of the grounds at Liberty ville are such as to hide the race track from the people, the start and finish being about all that can be seen of the races. For gambling games and devices the "Woodstock Fair certainly was entitled to first premium by a large majority. And right at this point, is it not time to call a halt in this matter of allowing games of chance, or still worse, those full-fledged swindling devices to be oper­ ated on ou r fair grounds ? At a venture, our people contribute to the swindling gang, twenty dollars for each dollar paid by the gang to the society for the privi-. lege of operating. But this is a matter- of minor concern 4n the case. The badf side is, our McHenry county fair for thee past few years, has been an educator of our boys and many older ones, in tIn­ direction of open, profligate gambling! do not find, neither do I know of any place in the State so well equipped and organized to suggest and invite our young men and boys to embark on a venture of gambling practices, as was our late McHenry county fair. Let ua hope that we have seen the last of such schooling in McHenry county. RODERICK.
