The South Dakota Fair.

The South Dakota Fair.
The fifth annual fair of the South Da-
kota State Agricultural society will be held
at Aberdeen, September 23d to 9th. The
officers of the association nave received
iattering assurances that this years ex-
hibition will eclipse all former efforts.
While in its earliest infancy the state fair
was a great success. interest therein has
increased year by year until nowthe South
Dakota exhibit is pronounced MS fine
as that in many an older state, and finer
than some of them are able to show
who's state constitutions date back III the
early days of the republic. From its first
exhibition, which could have been called
creditable for a district fair, it has grown
to such proportions that it is a state fair in
fact as we'll rs in name. In a purely agri-
cultural commonwealth like South Dakota
one can expect 10 find the largest and finest
display of farm products in the land, and
those who have attended former disp ays
pronounce the climax already reached in
this %blossoming state. Not only III farm
products, but in the educational and art
exhibits does South Dakota take front
rank. Considering her age, she
stands at the head in an edu-
c%ational point of view, and that de-
partment ut the state fair is receiving in
creased attention and grows in its superb
orty. The grounds on which the fifth
annual exhibition is to be held could not
be more finely located had the directors
been able to create the earth and reserve
the best spot thereon for their use. Stu
ated just south of the city limits, between
the Milwaukee ana Northwestern tracks,
at the end of the Manitoba track. and
within easy access of the city, they are all
that could be desired. Sixty acres have
been Enclosed with a tight board fence, the
ground is just rolling enough to give Il
superb view of the track from all parts of
it, and gives excellent sites for the five
exhibition halls.

mense ]copcourse of visitors shook the
