with the arrival of delayed trains toe
will be complete by tomorrow mornii
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 exhi'
tors would be unable to find acco.
mediation.
The woman's building, an Innovation
of this year, is well filed with the ~
suits of feminine industry, and an
gallery containing some Of the rarese
paintings In the Northwest will be OF
| exhibition in an annex set aside fof
| this purpose.
| In speaking of the horse and cattle
departments Secretary Randall said
I'm 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 blooded 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
! lind this department one Of the most
| attractive they have ever seen.
Our horse department is fully up to
that of last year, when 1t was con-
sidered that we had q 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 number as we can accomrae-
date and all of them are of the best
grades" su fc r.
Tn 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 a 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
OF 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 Eli, and 1t will undoubt-
ediy be one Of the hottest contested
the entries range from five to eight
cen, all good horses, too, so 1t Is highly
probable that each day will witness
the best Of sport. There will be trials
at records by horses secured for tt
purpose, both to wagon and in
sulky, and the phenomenal mare.

either sulky. harness or driver, will
perform each day. Every racing ~
gramme will be closed with runni-4
