grammed by the association to be ole OF

| thing they will accomplish it in ono way
or another. 1t was done to-day. A more
promising morning was never seen in any
| country. Not a cloud was visible when
the sun appeared above the horizon.
Encouraged by the prospects the bonanza
farmers and successful trades people and
mechanics of the country and towns ad-
jacent for hundred OR more miles in
either direction had taken a holiday gener-
ally, coming last night and
filling the hotels and other accommoda-
lions of the twin cities Of Fargo and Moor
head SO that hallway cots commanded pre-
miums. AS early as s O'Clock the throng
began to wend its way to the fair grounds,
the visitors passing their time in viewing
the attractions in the trade building and
looking over the stock which was being
committees. Thus the forenoon was passed.
with the weather most promising. Between
l 80 and 2:30 p, m. there was most sud :
den change of climatic condition, the wind
steering from the northwest to tie south
east, and steadily gaining in velocity, while
the sky, before cloudless, soon became al
most wholly overcast. In the meantime,
hewever, the largest attendance of tie fair
had gathered on the grounds, and prompt
ly on time, 3 o'clock, the first of the
RACING ATTRACTIONS
was called, They consisted of a gr8en
race for trotters, purse. $500; a double
team race open to trotters and PAGERS,
purse $500, and a pony running race, quar-
ter of mile dash, purse, $75. The green
race was called first, the double team racs
being sandwiched between heats, and ow-
ing to the very disagreeabse weather the
judges allowed no waiting. Both were won
in straight heats. The whole programme
was completed at $50, at which time the
storm had passed and at this writing every
thing promises finely for to morrow.
In the green race the starters were Da-
kota Boy, b. g., Carroll and Hadley; Mol
lie, b. NJ, G. Marecellars; and Annie West,
b. m. G. F. Kindred. The latter won with
ease in three straight heats, Mollie distanced
in the first heat. Dakota Boy was unset
tied ir the first two heats, but crowded the
mare all the way round in the last heat,
and in the opinion of many could have
won had his driver wished
him to. Annie West, though, was
much different mare than on Tuesday,
when she was distanced in slow time on the
first heat. Considering the rain and high
wind in the two last heats the time was
very good-2:44A, 2:53, 2:52.
The double team race was won by the
PAGERS frankie B and Black Prince, owned
by B. Beaupre, of st. Paul, and driven by
Geo. Smith. Hastings entered their COM
petitor, who were Selkirk and Dictator,
for one team, and Captain Tom and One
| Hundred Dollar Note for the other, and, as
SO mated, Selkirk and mate
| were large favorites. Dictator
famed himself, however, in his
race yesterday, and had to be withdrawn,
Black Jim. owned in Minneapolis, being
substituted. AS thus made up,Selkerk and
mate were favorites with pool-betters, but
the race proved almost a walk-away for
the PAGERS, they winning each heat easily
with but one break, and showing bursts OF
| speed that with a good day and track
would have given them record of 23O, OF
better. Selkerk and mate won second
place in the two first heats, Capt. Tom and
mate beating them in the last Time, 2:42

The pony race had four starters
