FARGO, D. T., Sept 19.-When it comes
down to square enterprise Fargo does not
propose to take a second place to any
other local city in the world. True, what
now constitutes city Of 10000 population,
with street railway system. electric lights,
the telephone, telegraph, competing lines
of railroad, daily newspapers, ETC., etc.,
was comparatively unknown six years ago,
but Fargo has not only kept pace with, but
in many respects outstripped the most
wonderful development of the entire
Northwest in the brief period of time
named above.
AS means of voicing this wonderful
growth to the world the County Agricul
tural societyiand Driving Park association,
composed of leading business men of the
city, joined in giving fall exposition and
racing meeting, offering $4,000 in pre-
miums and purses. AS might be expected
the liberal premiums draw correspondingly
liberal enterprise, both of exhibits and for
the purses offered for special contests,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois
being we'll represented. So large has been
the interest in the different departments,
that the exhibition building and stabling
had to be more than double in capacity. The
stock displayboth for the speed contests and
the prize ring is the best ever given in the
Northwest
Among the show cattle are N. P. Clark's
st. Cloud herd of Jerseys and Galloways,
twenty two head III. F. Brown, Minneapo-
lis, herd of Jerseys; short-horns by Geo. S.
Barnes, G. F. Kindred and the Grandins.
j. B. Power, ST. Paul, proprietor of the
Helendale stock farm, described in the
GLOBE several weeks since, shows q fine lot
of Normans, and H. G. Finkle, of Moor
head and other stock breeders in this
vicinity, are we'll represented by road and
draught horses.
With such a fine showing of stock of
general exhibits, all that was wanted to
make the fair a success was good weather.
Whether the association is to be thus ia
vored is a conundrum. The day was
ushered in with cold wave from Mani
toba, making overcoats a luxury, accom-
panied by drizzling rain up to 10 o'clock
in the forenoon, when the rain stopped,
but there was little, if any moderation in
the weather. AS a consequence, only the
most enthusiastic visited the grounds this
afternoon, though the programme was an
extra good one, worthy the patronage of
10000 people. The events were trotting in
800 and 1882 classes and half mile running
and repeat race. The judges for the day
were D. D. Benton, starter, and L. n. AL
gee and j. d. Wood with Col Morrow
timers. The starters in the three minute
race were b. G. Minneapolis, ]. W. Whit
comb; b. IN. MolIie B, VIM. Parker; b. g.
Royal George, James Hunter,and b. m. Al
ma West, G. F. Kindred. The race was
won in three heats by Mollie B who sold
big favorite in the pools. Alma West was
distanced in the first heat.
