ground has been in rather chaotic state
today during the process Of receiving
and arranging the numerous exhibits.
The superlntendents OF the different
divisions have been kept on the jump
caring for their exhibits and displaying
them in the most advantageous manner
while the directors are everywhere. A
force OF carpenters has been kept busy
at work increasing the space for the trot-
ting stock, TO accommodate the greatest
aggregation of fast horse flesh ever seen
in this city. Already nearly 80 trotters
have found quarters on the grounds and
the prospect is good for some of the best
races yet seen here.
AT noon today, in nearly all the de-
pnrtmeDts, the entries were far in excess
Of any fair yet held, while in the live
stock department., as one Of the directors
expressed it, "everything is full to the
nozzle" Andrew Fl. Laugblin of Ran
som county, has brought IN herd of &c
Polled Angus cattle. In the swine de.
partment the entries are triple in mum.
bers those of last year and more are
coming.
The agricultural exhibits and those in
the woman's building are coming in
rapidly, and by tomorrow will be in pre-
sentable shape for Intelligent and very
| profitable inspection. The wisdom OF
largely increasing the space is shown in
the increased space taken.
The butter premiums were coming IL
] fast and already sixty more have signl
fed their intention OF competing. The
wheat premium will also call forth many
magnificent samples of grain.
The Fargo Agricultural college OK.
hibit is one of the most instructive and
interesting of any collection yet made
and is IN charge OF the officers OF the col
lege, many of whom are present to eluci
date the i'm portant features. G. B. Wal
dron. professor OF horticulturalis:, is IL
charge OF the horticultural and forestr,
display; Prof. E. S. Keene will attend te
the mechanical exhibit; T. D. Hinebauct
ls in charge of the veterinarian exhibit
and E. E. Kaufman. assistant professor
of agriculture, will assist in the dairy de
partment in the awarding of the bnttel
premium.
All will be disappointed to learn tha,
previous engagements have rendered j,
impossible to secure either Donnelly o.
Butterworth for campaign speeches dur
ing the fair. Every effort was made te
get either Donnelly or Owen of Mime
sofa, but it was not possible.
The state record was broken at tht
last Fargo races and it is expected tha
it will be still further lowered during th.
week here. Some of the best flyers il
the state are OF hand.

today to do the Fair for the Northern
Farmer, the state agricultural publica
tion. Mr.. Baker expects to find abnnd
snce Of material for this purpose.

loaded to the guards With passenger

shape of fair entries-both live stock ant
