readiness for public inspection and
with the arrival of delayed trains today
will be complete by tomorrow morning
at the latest.
All Of the building which is not oc-
cupied by the county displays will be
given over to the exhibition Of fruits
and flowers. and it is considered a
fortunate circumstance that more space
than usual will be had for this purpose,
as the fruit crop has been the largest
for years and otherwise many exhibit
tors would be unable to find accom-
mediation.
The woman's building, an. innovation
Of this year. is well filed with the re-
suits of feminine industry, and an art
gallery containing some of the rarest
paintings in the Northwest will be on
exhibition in an annex set aside fol-
this purpose.
In speaking of the horse and cattls
departments Secretary Randall said.
In the cattle sheds we have as fine a
collection Of high bred animals as has
been gotten together west Of Chicago
There are twenty-three distinct herds
making a total Of over 500 animals in
competition in the different classes.
There is FLOODED stock of all the beef
and dairy breeds and we are sure that
those in particular who are interested
In the raising Of high class stock will
find this department one of the most
attractive they have ever seen.
Our horse department is fully up to
that of last year, when it was con-
sldered that we had remarkably
large entrance list in the face Of the
decline in the horse raising industry.
All of the owners of prize stock in Min
nesota are on this years entry blanks
as well as those from Wisconsin and
Iowa. Of sheep and swine there is as
large a, number as we can accom1no-
date and all of them are of the best
grades
I'm securing our special attractions"
said Secretary Randall, I'VE have
worked with the knowledge that the
fair would be visited by those from
other portions Of the country where
only the best is appreciated and we
have planned to give programme
that we feel will satisfy and entertain
the most exacting. AS for the racing
card, 1t is only necessary to say that
we are IN the center of a race horse
country and that we have the pick
or the section to face our starter The
most interesting event, of course, will
be the 2:08 pace. There are six entries
in this class all of whom have marks
better than 2:11, and it will undoubt-
races of the fair. In the other events
the entries range from five to eight
cen, all good horses, too, so it is highly
probable that each day will witness
the best of sport. There will be trials
at records by horses secured for this
purpose, both to wagon and in the
sulky, and the phenomenal mare.
Marion Mills, who PAGES in PIP without
either sulky, harness or driver, will
perform each day. Every racing pro
gramme will be closed with a running
race by way of diversion
Today will be Bicycle day" and the
entire racing card will consist of
events of the wheelmen. Sid Black.
the trick rider, will exhibit his ability
as an eccentric, and there will also
be balloon ascension and parachute
leap by Prof Roddy, of Peoria, Ill.

yesterday morning, which resulted in
the death Of the running horse, Sapph-
ire, four-year-old colt, belonging to
Michael Lynch. Of ST. Paul The colt
was being logged on the track by a
boy, when 1t took fright at some other
horses, and reared, falling against a
