exhibits does South Dakota take front
rank. Considering her age, she
stands at the head In an edu-
cationai point OF view, aud that de-
partment ut the state fair is receiving in
creased attention and grows in its superb
orty. The grounds on which the nth
annual exhibition is to be held could not

the best spot thereon FOR their use. Situ-
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

been lnclosed with tight board fence, the
ground is just rolling enough to give q
superb view Of the track from all parts of
it, and gives excellent sites for the Ave
exhibition halls.
