Baby Show Big Affair. Exceed'ng all expectations In the matter of entries, the baby show held at the V. M. C. A.

Wednesday and Thursday forenoons was nearly twice as Jarge as that of last year. Nearly eighty babies were put through a series of tests and measurements by the committee in charge, and each was graded on the basis of 100 per cent. Bronze medals for the highest scoring boy and girl In the show, and diplomas for the winners of the various classes were donated by the Woman's Home Companion. Winners of four other classes were awarded photos by C. J.

Fennel. Little Thelma Thielen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thielen, of Humphrey, carried off the honors as the most nearly perfect girl baby. She is 13 months old, and scored 99.5 per cent, which is a really remarkable rating.

Hansen Elliott McElfresh, 11 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. N. McElfresh, won the boy's medal, with a score of 98.5 per cent.

Diplomas were Issued to the following boys and girls which scored first in their various divisions: Up to 12 months of age Philip Echols Whitney, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Whitney, 96.5 per cent; Virginia Lecron, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Fred Lecron, 98 per cent. Thirteen to 24 Months Velma Ixmg-hoff, daughter of John Longhoft, of Creston, 96.5; Albert Lutz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lutz, 97.5.

Hans Elliott was general superintendent of the Imby show. She and R. S. Dickinson and C. J.

Fennel served as Judges, while Doctors Mor afternoon the Creston athletes took an exciting game from Platte Center by a score of 4 to 2. The Creston boys made their four pearlies in one inning when Todenhoft who was twirling for Platte Center had a few bad minutes. Yesterday afternoon the score of 4 to 2 was duplicated In a go between the Cornlea team and the Columbus boys, the visitors getting the long end of the money. This afternoon the fast amateur teams from Humphrey and Lindsay are scheduled for a game. The baseball feature has brought several hundred ardent fans from the central and north parts of the county to the fair each day.

Daylight and evening fireworks constitute a pleasant part of the entertainment. The daylight fireworks are given on the grounds every afternoon and are a novelty that few of the fair visitors have had opportunity to see before. The evening pyrotechnics were held last evening on a vacant lot near the light plant under the joint supervision of the fair management and the city council. Many of the visitors from a distance remained over last evening to witness them. A similar display will be given this evening.

Professor John Savidge, of Ewlng, executed his aeroplane flight at the grounds yesterday afternoon in a highly satisfactory manner. He did not attempt any fancy tricks, but his exhibition was pleasing to the entire crowd. Professor Savidge is rated as Nebraska's premier aviator. He will "fly" again. this afternoon.

This attraction alone cost the management several hundred shining shekels. The educational exhibit at the grounds, arranged by County Superintendent Fred S. Lecron, City Superintendent R. M. Campbell, and the Sisters of St.

Francis academy, is a masterpiece. People who visited the state fair declare that the Platte county exhibit is fully equal In size and quality to the state exhibit at Lincoln. Samples of clay modeling, sewing, penmanship, Industrial In fact all branches of school work are on display. Every school, both public and parochial, in the county is represented. The entries far outnumber those of last year.

Another department that far outstrips Its record of last year is that of domestic science and fancy work presided over by Mrs. U. S'. Mace and Mrs. Ernest Loseke.

It completely fills one of the largest tents on the grounds, and that tent has been the mecca of all women who visited the grounds. Some of the ieces of handiwork to be seen there are truly wonderful. It is an exhibit of which the women of Platte county may well be proud. The grain department, also, has en-Joyed a healthy growth. Superintendent U.

S. Mace reports 614 entries as against about 370 last There are to be seen all sorts of grains, vegetables and other plants grown in Platte county. One stalk of corn, exhibited by Charles Morgan, stands 14 feet, 2 Inches high. A sunflower taken from Carl Krause's place measures 15 feet, Inches. Both are striking illustrations of the productivity of Nebraska soil.

While the number of entries In the poultry department is not materially larger than last year, the quality of the Three Big Days of Entertainment Feature Annual Platte County Agricultural Exhibit With larger exhibits in nearly all departments, more diversified entertain-vent, and greater attendance than ever before, the Platte County Agricultural association is putting on the nost successful fair in its history out at the race track grounds this week. Old Jupiter Pluvius frowned on the fun somewhat Tuesday and Wednesday, threatning to dampen the frolic with rain, but yesterday the clouds tleared away and perfect fair weather came. Tuesday was devoted entirely to the registration of entries, and the amusement program began Wednesday, which was designated as "Automobile Day." Yesterday was home-coming day for all pioneers and old residents who have forsaken Platte county but returned for the reunion, and today, the last of the fair, will be "Children's day." All the school children of the county will be admitted free to the grounds. A children's parade will be Beld this forenoon and prizes will be given to the schools represented by the largest per centage of their pupils. Columbus schools, and many of those in neighboring towns and rural districts, will be closed In order that all the kiddies may take part in the festivities.

A decorated auto parade Wednesday forenoon really marked, the opening of he entertainment. The multicolored column was headed by the Columbus band, members of the Are department with their apparatus and the city officials in carriages.

He and his wife, who preceded him to the Great Beyond about fifteen years ago, suffered the hardships that are usually encountered in pioneer life.

Edward team last Sunday. Up to last Sunday both teams had won a game and the Platte Center boys realized they must put forth every effort to win the deciding game. The team with the enthusiastic fans, both male and female, realized their ambitions, and Platte Center came out crowned with the laurel. The score was 4 to 3 In their favor. At the first of the seventh Inning the game stood 0 to 0, but up to this time several thrilling plays had been executed, especially by the Platte Center infield.

The tide of the lucky seventh turned In their favor and they netted two scores in this inning due to hits and two overthrows by the St Edward catcher. The score did not look good to St. Edward, so by a series of hits and errors they tied it. In the ninth inning Platte Center plavers came to the conclusion that they' did not care to burden the fans by playing extra Innings so Bunk Badura got busy and drove In the winning runs with a twobagger.

Bender, of Cornlea, Wednesday birds is said to be much better. There is an especially good showing of pigeons and pet stock. This department is presided over by E. C. Worden and George Drinnln.

The hog department, which was rather slim last year, is 'one of the big shows on the grounds. Superintendent Fred Wllle reported sixty-five entries, many of them consisting of several animals. In the lot are a number of porkers that would be ribbon-winners at any show. As for horses and cattle, the showing from the standpoint of numbers was a little disappointing to the superintendents, but what the animals lack in numbers they make up in quality. Albert Stenger and Ira Gates have charge of the horses while David Thomas and It.

A. Clarke superintend the cattle department. Not least among the attractions on the grounds are the exhibits of wares arranged by enterprising business firms of Columbus as a means of advertising their lines. Those are especially numerous this year. The Columbus City band Is doing Its share to entertain the visiting crowds, The band furnishes music for the parades, gives concerts at the grounds during the afternoon and brief concerts down town prior to the evening fireworks.

A squad of athletes from the physical department of the Y. M. C. A. will put on an exhibition drill and tumbling program at the grounds this afternoon.

Attendance at the fair Wednesday and Thursday was very satisfactory considering the threatening weather of the morning hours. It is estimated that 1,800 people visited the grounds Wednesday. Yesterday the attendance mounted to 3,000. Fully 500 autos were parked on the section of the field allotted to them Amo'ng the officers of the association whose efforts are largely responsible for the success of the fair are Carl Rohde, president; J. C.

Byrnes, vice.
