now be written down as success. AS
to the exhibits it could have
been Sd 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 sharp frost, and
this morning the sun rose in a clear sky.
During the early hours of the morning the
temperature was a little cool, but by ten
the weather was perfect for outdoor
enjoyment. As consequence the
early day trains brought goodly number
OF visitors, who lost no 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
specting 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. s.
Ae p. m. the first race Of the most ex-
celient programme provided for
the day three in number) was
called with an attendance of about $500.
The races were trotting in 2:29 and 2:21
classes and running mile and repeat, the
too trotting races being sandwiched, COM
mancing the first heat with the 2:29. There
were but three starters in each trottipg
race, the other entries finding themselves
Ia two fast company and paying forfeit.
The northwest is enjoying the boom, and
Fargo may well claim it's being the key to
the boom. boom means lots of money.
Where thero is plenty Of money
there will be lively speculation.
Spectators upon the two trotting
races were not only numerous, but
nervy, and the crowd were in the posses
sion OF plenty of money to back their
opinions. In both races horse was made
a 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
$4,000 to $1,000.
The first race called was that of the 2:29
class, with blk. S. Selkirk, M. Leib; ch. I'd.
Flora Belle, ]. G. Oswald, Minneapolis,
and C. m. Lucy Jerome, Mckinney, St.Paul,
as starters. Selkirk was made a big favor
ite, his hackers only being mad
because they could not get
their money placed on him at 2, and some
times to 1, his owner and driver being
among his most liberal supporters. The
race, however, proved walk away for
Oswald's Flora Belle, who seemed to hays
been benefited by her hard race of yester-.
day, IN which she entered the charmed 2:30
circle, she winning each heat without a
skip, with ease. Lucy N was decidedly of,
going away very slowly, and finishing
3D. except in the second heat, where, after
closing up q big gap On the
back stretch, she wrested second
place from Selhrk on the home
stretch. Selkrk's performance was great
to his admirers and back
ers, though no question was raised that he
was driven to do his best, itevidently being
one of his off days.
