Monticello Paper Tells of Visit From Booster Party.

Monticello Herald. A booster party from Rensselaer attracted much attention on the public square here Friday afternoon. The party arrived In town unannounced and went to work at once boosting the Rensselaer Horse Show. Their string of automobiles, fifteen or twenty in number, made quite a showy parade, being decorated with flags and ribbons and headed by Dr. Moore in a silk hat, riding in his own auto, driven by Dr. Hansson, the veterinary. The machine was adorned with a horse’s head, and Dr. Hansson played horse with it to beat the band. While the band played be circled around It cracking bis whip and showhis complete control over the spirited charger in front of him. The automobile, the horsehead, the colored ribbons, the band music, and even the day itself all seemed to be made for Doc, and he was certainly in his element. A number of ladies were in the party, and altogether the booster crowd was a great advertisement for Rensselaer. They returned by way of Monon and Francesvllle.
