By H. M. L., SR. Kx — iy County fairs have changed a little in the past half century. One thing that is different is wearing apparel, especially for women. For the Gay Nineties were also the day of the gay bustle, the tight, mutton legged sleeves particularly for, shirt waists were in vogue. Men wore shoes that had what were Called ‘‘toothpick’’ toes. We remember those especially well, because many youths ruined their feet while conforming to fashion. But otherwise, it seems to us men dressed about ,as they do today, except that a good suit of clothes cost about $20 as compared with $80 today. e+ & & Of sourse there were fairs’ and fairs. Santa Barbara in those times (we are still speaking of the Gay Nineties) had a fine race track and put on, not a horse show but nearly a week of racing, including harness races. About that time bicyclesi--began. o be fairly plentiful and theré: were boy’s and men’s cycle races at the race track. We recall seeing some of our fleet young men mounted on the high. wheels of bicycles coming down the track in the home _ stretch, pedalling away as if their lives depended on it, sometimes with the little wheel . in front of them, sometimes with it’ trailing, and when they had a There were no riding clubs so far as we can recall, and no horse shows. These*are innovations that came in long after the automobile had assumed the leading role in locomotion. Everyone who did not travel in a buggy, surrey. or phaeton, traveled on horseback. A lot of people took just as much if not. more, interest. in their mounts as they do today. But probably there are more ornamental horses today than 50 years ago. A good span of work horses, such as a ‘Clydesdale cross, if well matched, brought anywhere from $350 to $500, which, considering how hard money was to come by in those days compares very favorably with what a Ford would cost now. e H & the County Fair came every animal entered for exhibition got the grooming of its life. Horses were fed lavish quantities of oats to. make their coats shine, cattle were . curried and brushed as carefully as horses, sheep were washed so that fleece Was snowy white, even pigs When along, bristles combed. Chickens were put to laying tests, just as now, woen came to. town with their babies. There were prizes for fat babies, bright babies, and pretty babies. There were prizes in several classes, prizes for 3 months old babies in three categories of intelligence, health and winsome appearance. Same for six months. and same for a year. Hardly a baby missed getting a prize, and mad, indeed, was the mother who drew a blank. But as we remembe' it very few drew a blank. e * & see why the baby shows have been discontinued. It is the best crop any county grows, but apparently they have. But in old days the baby show day was a big day, and a lot of people came to see it. That day always showed 4 big. attendance and brought plenty of money into We don’t the. fair coffers.
