TERRITORIAL FAIR.
Annual Exhibition
reported for the New North

publication the proceedings at the Fair
Grounds for the first three days OF last
week, and will write the last three days up
as briefly as possible. The Helena dailies
have given very minute descriptions of al
most everything. "a kE
The display of all except live stock is
nearly local, and does not interest your
readers to any great extent.
With the exception OF Friday, which was
very windy, the weather of Fair Week was
manifi xnt. "Italian skies" prevailed.
The roa 's haze been 80 widenea and i'm
prov duri5g the last three or four years
that even the dust is in a great measure
avoided.
FEArUeEs OF TBE FAIR.
The most noticeable feature during this /
Fair, was the absence OF farm products. |
There are two ress ms foe it.; first, the time |
Tor holding the Fair was set two weeks TOO |
early, and &c ,ond, che season for raising |
crops was month later than usual. The
farmers are now in The midst Of haying and
harvesting and could not come. Yet the
attendance was much better than could have
been expected, as the receipts prove. The
amount received during Fair Week was
$4,497-gross receipts from all sources were
"a ,037. 90 even g.eater than last year.
To-day the number Of persons in attend
anoe was fully 1000. Every county In the
Territory was represented and q number Of
strangers wore here from abroad.
OF course, hors tracing was the greatest
attraction of the Fair. More and better
horses were assembled on the grounds than
ever before, and then there were some
beautiful cattle. Bot the greatest feacure
Of oor Annaal FAIL after all is The chance
for our hard-work I'd AMI widely scattered
people to meet together from all over the
Territory TO give each other frieadly greet
logs. IL does any one good to see how
heartily old-tlmeis meet and greet each
ttber. Men 10 came here as alnost boys
now grown grizzly-almost hug each
otoer. They are hangfy 70 clasp hands
add to irquj Q about others Of the boys who
we're with them oacs and ma ~ of whom
bave, in the years pas, gon TO their lon
hopes, Old social habits cannoG be thrown
OF and they adjourn foe q driok and a
smoke, aod talk over old times. These
very men are the pioneers who foaaded our
| Territo,y and laid the c)rper stone of what
will be one of the grandest States in our
Union. What they endured and suffered
will never DO known. Often they fought
their way through hostile Indian tribes to
reach this land of promise, and the bones Of
many comrade whiten the plains they
crossed or lie buried in the dark gulches
between rugged mountain sides, where their
young lives we're sacrificed in the hard ef-
fort to discover and develop the rich mioes
which have made Montana famous all the
world over, and which are the production
Of its wealth.
| WHAT WAS AT THE FAIR.
The stock department is under The super
intendence of Charles d. Hard. As to
number and quality it is the best co'lec-
ton of stock that has ever appeared ON the
fair giouuds, au enum sration Of which will
be interesting to our readers.
