Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 53, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 October 1909 — TOO COLD FOR HORSE SHOW. [ARTICLE]

TOO COLD FOR HORSE SHOW.

The weather for the Horse Show was bad Thursday and yesterday, especially yesterday, when it was cloudy, cold and raw, and the piercing air chilled one to the marrow. Thursday was not so unpleasant except that it was chilly to stand about the streets. The weather indieations were not good for to-day, but being Saturday it is likely the biggest crowd of the three days will be here. The crowd Thursday was quite slim, but yesterday, notwithstanding the cold, there was a considerably better crowd in attendance at the hour of going to press. The exhibit of horses is all right, and it is to be regretted that the weather has been so bad. The Wolcott band is furnishing some good music for the shfbw, although handicapped by the players having to be encumbered with overcoats. The Oxford baseball team cancelled their game with the Wrens for Thursday, and Medaryville played instead. Score 4 to 0 in favor of the Wrens. The balloon ascension Thursday afternoon was good, one of the best ever seen here. An'ascension and parachute drop takes place each afternoon. A complete list of the premiums awarded will appear in Wednesday’s Democrat.
