THE STATE FAIR.

The Programme of the Races-Not to Be q
Gambling Show-SpleDdtd Display of
Products In Progress-Bo US Coming.
The management of the State fair to be held
in st. Paul the first week in September yester-
day completed the racing programme to be
given in connection with this great exposition.
in making up this programme the mana. g.
ment, while recognizing the fact that exhibit
tons of speed have come to be considered al
most a necessity by large proportion of the
general public attending annual fairs, have
kept the Thought prominently before them that
they were representing State institution or
ganized for the purpose of advertising to the
worldlat large through annual public exhibit
tions the varied products of the soil the Quail
ity of itsstpck, and the handiwork of it's me-
chanios, each recurring exhibition marking the
ADVANCE made during the year preceding.
To encourage and foster such an exhibition
this, and not racing meeting, the legisla-
ure has provided for the payment to the So
ciety of a certain amount of money annually.
BY accepting this donati6p of money, the man
agement of the society feel that they have in
CURED a binding obligation to conduct the
forthcoming exhibition in manner to as near
ly as possible carry cut the obi Gets for which
the society was organized Hence, while en-
deavoring to satisfy the public taste for speed
trials. this feature is made to play a>secondary
part in the forthcoming show, while the exhibi-
ton of grains, vegetables. blooded horse, and
cattle, sheep and swine. farm machinery, mau-
ufactured goods. works of art. etc.. etc., are to
he given that prominence tn ir Importance as
representations of the States prosperity and :
advancement entities them to.
With that class who ttend horse races main
v for hn oyoIfn
box and other gambling ap,Iiances, too often
the most prominent feature Of such sports.
this programme will not he specially attrac-
tive. but to the solid people of the State, the
farmers. stock breeders. dairymen, manufac.-
turers. merchants, mechanics and other pro-
ducing and developing classes, it will at once
appeal with all the force of self-interest and
State pride.
As before mentioned in the GLOBE, the exhi-
bition OF grains, vegetables, stock farm ma
c"lnery. etc.. ETC.. is to be the largest and finest
ever seen in the State. As in years past the st.
Manitoba St. Paul l. Duluth. Northern Pacific
and Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
companies will make splendid exhibits of the
products Of the soil along their respective lines
and as very lively generous rivalry exists
among them. and as the crops this year are
above the average in quality, their DISPLAYS
alone will be beyond anything before made in
the State. In addition number of county
agricultural societies are making arrangements
for large re RESERVATIONS.
In the line of blooded horses and cattle, sheep
and swine applications for space more than
filling the extensive accom- odatlons prenared
for the great fair last year have been made.
necessitating still further additions to the
stahling room.
The show of farm machinery will be ca
pecially large and fine, several large buildings
now being in process of construction by repre-
sentative firms.
Another important interest that will be more
largely represented than ever before will be the
dairy.

fair attractions to much greater length but
