Fair Program
Much Enjoyed
Friday Night
The second night's entertain
ment of the Northwestern Alaska
Fair Asso. and .Mid Summer Car
nival was much enjoyed last ev
ening by the fair crowd which at
tended. The attendance was larg
er than the opening night and
would have been much larger had
it not been for the stormy con
ditions of the weather.
In the children's Comic Char
acter parade, which was a huge
success in every way, under div
ision 6 years or under, first prize
went to Raymond John Miller,
age 3. as "Kayo''; second prize to
Mary Louise Lyle, age 3, as "Or
phan Anne”.
In the division for children six
years to 14 years, first prize was
awarded to Frances Waldheim, as
“Captain Katzenjammer”.
The entertainment provided by
the Nome Natives, the Diomede
Island and King Island natives,
each having their own special
tom-tom orchestras with special
music and singing, was both in
teresting and well executed. The
“Happy1 Little dance’by the
5 year old grandson of Chief
Aalaranna of King Island, accom
panied by special music, was a
knockout.and received the hearty
applause of the audience.
At the conclusion of the pro
gram the floor was cleared and
dancmg held sway till midnight.
The exhfbit booths drew the at
tention of Fair visitors, many of
whom were from outlying sec
tions as far away as Juneau, all
of whom expressed great surprise
at Nome's unique and interesting
display, which so differs from the
Fairs held in other parts of Al
aska.
Tonight will be the grand finale
with a special big program, car
nival features, awarding of prizes,
and ending with a grand ball.
Doors open at 7 o'clock, Child
ren's admission 25 cents, Adults
75 cents.
The management wishes it an
nounced that exhibits may be re
moved shortly before midnight
by those desiring to take them
home tonight; and all exhibits are
to be removed by Sunday noon.

NOTES ON
THE FAIR
Tonight the Northwestern Al
aska Fair now going on at the
Nome Public School building.will
be at its best. Displays are con
tinually to be augumented as
class after class is called for ex
hibit. Tonight a fine display of
fish will be featured. The best
that our streams and our best
fishermen can produce will be in
evidence.
Bad weather has rendered im
possible the holding of outdoor
sports this afternoon. That por
tion of the sports program which
can be held inside will be held
this evening. These are stunts
and events of an amusing nature
that will add greatly to the pleas
ure of the evening’s entertain
ment.
A Carnival spirit will prevail in
the big gymnasium tonight.Dance
music will be released from the
stage. For the benefit of those
who do not wish to dance, the
best of local amateur motion pic
tures will be shown.
Today additional entries were
added to the vegetable display
for the judges consideration.
Tourist and strangers have al
ready been much impressed by
the size and excellence of the ex
hibits already on display.
One of the most colorful and at
tractive of all the booths is that
of Mrs. Thomas Morcom, Super
intendent of the Flower Division.
An array of such color and beau
ty is a welcome sight to all Nome
ites.
A great deal of credit goes to
Mrs. Carrie McLain and her as
sistants for making the Antique
booth the interesting spot it is.
The booth is always thronged
with curious visitors.
Tonight is the night the FIVE
Dollar prize given for the near
est guess to the exact value of th#
“Original Kougaroker Nuggets”
