FIRST DAT.
HELENA, Sept 6.-This moi oipg IL Gle u
and bright. All day the "I'alian skies o.
Montana," which Gov. Ashley loved q
well, have been over m. The clear, ins
weather bid, fair to continue daring the
week. AgoId many sta Anglers ar' 10
town visiting the Fair Grounds. To-day
the atten dance was good for the opening
day. About thousand persons were pres
emit. Eight hundred dollars were taken IN
ss the gate. A number Of eotries of cattle
horses, sheep, 60, were made. By moor
tomorrow tho rolls will be we'll filled. Thu
display will be all that oould be expected
except In farm products, which tbs back
ward season has hardly yet ripeued. Farm
ors are now In tbs midst OF harvesting the
crops, and many OF them who usually come
will not be able to attend. The Fair BE-
gins two weeks earlier than usual. This
will operate to prevent the attendance Of
many farmers and the bringing OF many
farm products.
The principal attraction this year will
consist Of the Hne horses aud the good rs-
cling that il expected. Tomorrow the poo.
pie will be out In greater numbers.
