THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
An Excellent Racing Program Prepared
for this Year.

for this Year.
The program for the second annual
meeting of the North Montana Fair as
sociation, to be held here, has Just been
made public. Over $4,000 will be hung
up in purses and the meeting at Great
Falls will, beyond all question, be among
the best in the state. There will be six
days of racing, beginning August 22d
and ending August 9th, with good
events each day. The largest purse,
$ $500, is set for the free for all trot on
the last day of the meeting. which will
be hotly contested for and will undoubt-
ly attract horscmcn from all parts of the
northwest.
The directors of the association and
every citizen of Great Falls should not
let an opportunity pass to thoroughly
advertise the program published below
from now on until the fair opens. Ev-
| erything possible should be done to place
the splendid list of purses before the
horscmen and citizens of Montana in
general. that a large attendance will be
nSSuit' LhNt Dtdi > illttllIlS SllOlllt tt
eclipscd in every respect.
The fair will not be confined entirely
to racing, AS there will be a united effort
to secure an adequate exhibit of the ag-
ricultural, stock, and mineral re-
sources of this section of Mon
tana. Such IL grand display would
greatly increase the interest taken in the
fair and at the same time prove to be
one of the best advertisements that
Great Falls and community ever had.
The fair will come at IA good time of the
year to get up such an exhibit. and at
this writing there is apparently no OBJ
stacle in the path that would in any way
interfere with the success of the enter
prise.
A number Of improvements will be
made at the fair grounds, the m no
table of which will be the construction
of sixty additional stables for the care of
horses. 4 suitable building will also
probably be erected to hold the differ
cnt displays Of the mineral and %agricult-
ural wealth of his community. From
an inspection of the following program it
will be seen that the association will
spare neither time nor expense to make
the meeting Il pronounced success.
