Territorial Fair.

Territorial Fair.
To the Public: Arrangements for
the Territorial Fair to'be held at HUI
ron on Sept. goth and both and Oct. LIST
and End, are rapidly progressing and
the prospects for a grand success are
very fiattering. 1t has been decided to
allot separate spaces fer the various
county exhibits and quite a;number of
counties have already signified their in
1ention Ct making a display. A defn-
lite and determined effort is now being
made to provide for large excursion
parties from the East and with such
promise Of success that in ali probable
ity there will be hundreds Of eastern
people present to avail themselves of
so favorable an opportunity to investl-
gate Dakota's productiveness. Under
such circumstances the desirability of
having a county represented will be un-
derstood by all enterprising citizens.
AS is already understood the transpor-
tatlon Of these exhibits will oe with
out cost. Apply to your station agent
for particulars and notify me at onceif
you desire space for an exhibit. This
is absolutely necessary in order that
the superintendent Of construction can
act intelligently. The principal rail
way companies are giving the Fair
their hearty encouragement. A con-
siderable portion of the New Orleans
exhibit will be displayed. Governor
Pierce will be present and deliver the
first annual address.
Large exhibits of fine horses and
blooded stock are already assured. The
Territorial Horticultural and Forestry
Association are making special exer-
lions for a fine display. Large purses
have been offered in the speed depart
ment and exciting races may be ex-
pected. Negotiations for agrand band
tournament nov promise SUCCESS. Free
motive power for machinery is offered,
and the exhibit in this line will be a
strong attraction. The ladies' depart
ment is receiving especial attention
and an unusual effort will be made to
make it one of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the exposition.
The Board of Agriculture have un-
dertaken this great work, out of purely
patriotic motives, realizing the great
benefits that will accrue from a sue
cessful display. Dakota astonished the
world at New Orleans, and with agreat
portion of the New Orleans exhibit at
her command, she can upon her OWL
soil far eclipse her successful efforts at
that place. Our success depends upon
the people, and Dakota people never
fail. DO not depend upon the efforts
OF your neighbor. Go to work your
self. Notify me at the earliest posi-
BILE moment OF your intention to exnlb-
it that space may be provided.
Write your friends in the east to ioin
the excursion parties. Do your part
and Dakota will make the grandest ex-
hibit in the great Northwest.
