ELEvENTH ANNUAL FAIR
VI inc Montana Agricultural, Minersl
and Mechanical Association.


WEDNESDAY,.
Inc weather was all that could be desired
'"-oay. Its unusual fineness induced a large
NUMBER OF ladies to grace the grand stand
WIN their presence. The lovers of fast
horses and fast driving do not appear to be
cohhned to the sterner sex. The bated
breath, the flashing eyes and the triumphant
EXPLANATIONS of the fairer portion of the large
concourse that was present to-day indicate that
the fair ones take more than a passing inter.
est IN the positions which their f~avorites &C.
cupy as they rush by the grand stand and
under the wire.
THE STOCK DEPARTMENT
is under the efficient superintendent of Mr..
e.. Hard. Since the Inauguration of the Ter
ritorial Fair there has not been a finer DISPLAY |
Of thoroughbred horses and cattle on these
grounds than can be seen to-day. Our stock
men appreciate the value of these gatherings,
and do not consider it too much of a sacrifice
Of time and expense to bring their fine ami
mails TO the Fair for competitive exhibition.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to some
OF them for the enterprise they have displayed
in this direction. Among those who have
earned and deserve the thanks of the people
OF the territory for importations of fine
stock and for breeding the same, are your
neighbors at Deer Lodge City, Messrs. E. S.
Larabie and Con kohrs. Mr.. Larabie brought
Clark Chief, Jr., to this territory. Chief has
not been beaten in a race in the territory.
His get will make their mark as ~trotters
wherever they are shown. Black Diamond,
that made 2:3Ss last Monday, was another of
Mr.. Larabie's inportations. Diamond is a
young horse, and good judges predict he will,
if he lives, score a mile under 2:30.

comprises some superb animals, among which
may be found Jim T.. a 2 year old sorrel, sir
