now be written down as success. As
to the exhibits it could have
been SO written down the first day,
but with the prevailing arctic blast from
Manitoba and the north pole, and the gen
orally unsettled climatic conditions there
were grounds for grave doubts as to the
attendance. Last night however the atmos-
phere was cleared by a sharp frost, and
this morning the sun rose in a clear sky.
During the early hours of the morning, the,
temperature was little cool, but by ten
the weather was perfect for outdoor
enjoyment. As q consequence the
early day trains brought goodly number
of visitors, who lost 20 time in getting out
to the fair grounds, while the citizens, ex-
hilarated by the glorious Dakota Indian
summer, joined in swelling the throng.
The forenoon visitors spent the time in
speeding the fine exhibits in the main ex-
hibit building, made by the merchants,
manufacturers, florists, gardeners, etc, of
the city and vicinity, and the very fine
stock and machinery exhibits, as already
outlined.
Ae p. IN. the first race of the most ex-
cellent programme provided for
the day (three in number) was
called with an attendance Of about 800.
The races we're trotting in 2:29 and 2:21
classes and running mile and repeat, the

The northwest is enjoying the boom, ard
Fargo may well claim its being the key to
the boom. boom means lots of money.
Where there Is plenty OF money
there will be lively speculation.
Spectators upon the two trotting
races were not only numerous. but
nervy, and the crowd we're in the possess
sion of plenty Of money TO back their
opinions. In both races q horse was made
rank favorite, selling two to one against
the other, and altogether when the last
race was concluded at $50 this afternoon
the pool box must have contained from
5000 to $1,000.
The first race called was that OF the 2:29
class, with blk. 8. Selkirk, N. Leib; Oh. N.
Flora Belle, J. @. Oswald, Minneapolis,
and C. III. Lucy Jerome, Mckinney, St.Paui,
as starters. Selkirk was made big favor
lite, his hackers only being mad
because they could not get
their money placed on him Of 2. and some
times 3 to 1, his owner and driver being
among his most liberal supporters. The
race, however. proved o walk away for
Oswald's Flora Belle, who seemed to have
been benefited by her hard race of yester-
day, LII which she entered the charmed $50
circle, she winning each heat without
skip. with ease. Lucy N was decidedly off,
going away very slowly, and finishing
Sd, except in the second beat, where, after
closing up big gap On the
back stretch. she wrestea second
place from Selkirk ON the home
stretch. Seikirk's performance was a great
disappointment to his admirers and back
ers, though no question was raised that he
was driven to do his best. isevalently being
ono of his OFF days.
