A GREAT PROGRAMME.
The State Fair This Year Is Going
to BE Hummer.

to BE Hummer.
The executive committee of the state
agricultural society has arranged the
programme for the coming fair, and
announces the outline, which appears
below. 1t will be seen at glance that
the management has not kept to the
beaten tracks of fair amusements, but
has infused spice of novelty into the
programme which will make the fair a
winner from the start. The bicycle tour
nament is sure to be great success :;
1t will give the fair a great seud-off to
begin with. Ladies' day is not a new
idea, but has not been tried at the fair,
while the proposed workingmen's day
will probably draw the biggest crowd
ever seen on the grounds. The gentle
mems races" will be subject to the en-
cOuragement given the management be-
tween now and the fair by the gentle
men riders of the two cities. The sue
cess of the ladies' races last year assures
the popularity of the mile dashes for
lady riders arranged for this year. Five
starters are already assured. 1t is also
settled that there will be not less than
half dozen starters in the steeplechase.
