The Marshfield fair this year was a splendid success financially and otherwise.  The weather was perfect and to this fact is largely due the enormous attendance.  On Thursday, the big day, about 12,000 people attended.  The exhibits in the fine arts, agriculture, poultry and livestock departments were very good, and the free attractions with the exception of the balloon ascension, which was omitted on the last two days owing to high winds, were appreciated by all.  Like all other fairs this years the entries for horse races were small, although some good races were pulled off.  A remarkable interest was shown by the spectators in the automobile races, and the time is not far distant when the auto will succeed the horse at the race track.

Gwendolyn Kihn, after a summer’s stay here with Mrs. Eva Canfield, returned home to Park Falls last Friday.  Mrs. Canfield accompanied here as far as Marshfield.
