777 - L. Sept. 29:4/3 - The eighteenth Cuyahoga county fair opened Sept.
27. The day was devoted to entries and various preliminaries. Horses,
cattle, she 2p, poultry, fruit, vegetables, butter, fine arts, sewing
machines, and farming implements rere entered. The agricultural hall
has the best display of any department, having two or three varieties
of vegetables and field products.
A washing machine patented by Mr. Fleck of Cleveland, is on display
in the mechanical hall. It will wash, clean a dirty shirt or bed quilt
in three minutes, and is easily adjusted so that a horse blanket or
handkerchief can be easily washed.
An invalid chair is on exhibition as well as reapers, drillers, and
rakes. A mop which can be wrung out without wetting or soiling the
hands is attracting the ladies' attention. The floral hall is well
furnished with flowers, plants, and fruits. Horses of all types are
entered and will be shown in the ring today. Colonel S. D. Harris will
give an address today. (22)
