VI the Days programme at the Race
Track-BaIIOOn Ascensions and
Races, Too.

Thanks to the weather of yesterday,
the state fair programme today will
surpass that of all the rest of the week
combined. 1t will simply be so i'm
mense as to prevent adequate descrip-
ton, and only by witnessing it in per-
son will any one be able to realize the
great attractions which will be concen-
trated on the fair grounds at Hamline
today.
Beginning at 9 a. m. there will be a.
livestock parade of prize animals.
The livestock display has been unusu-
ally large and choice, especially so in
cattle. and this parade will surpass
anything the Northwest has heretofore
seen, because never before has such
collection been gathered together.
Bear in mind also that all the exhibits
will be found in place during the fore
noon; in fact there will not be one of
them removed until the gates close at
night, so that no matter how early you
ccme to the grounds you will find some
thing to attract and entertain you
until the great amusement programme
of the afternoon begins
The postponed 2:19 pacing race for
a purse of $500, with twenty-three en-
tries, will be put on at 1 p. m. sharp.
This was really the choice race of the
whole meeting. and it's postponement
until today makes an unexpected and
splendid addition to the grandstand
attractions.
Following this, the bicycle races will
be called Nearly all the riders have
been training all summer for these
races, and good time is sure to be
the result Max Littman, of Mime
apolis, who is undoubtedly the fastest
man in the West at quarter OF a
mile, expects to reduce his own record
of twenty-six seconds The trlplet-
paced mile Is sure to be run in less
than two minutes. Robert H. Nc
Cleary has been in hard training for
this event. and it is to be his last
appearance on any track. The new
surfacing of the track has greatly
improved it, as it dries very quickly
after rain The rain of yesterday
has thoroughly laid the dust and
was a positive benefit for bicycle
racing The large list of entries shows
the interest taken in the event. and the
public will have corresponding in
terest in seeing the best bicycle meet
ever given in the Northwest.
" lille the bicycle races are in prog
ress there will be a lively football
game between the Northern Pacific
and Y. NJ c. A teams, of st. Paul.
These teams are in full practice. and
there is sharp rivalry between them,
SO that a holly contested football
match, with all that implies, can be
relied upon.
Happy Jack, who PAGES without
riGer, driver or -sulky. was not on the
original programme for Saturday, but
he is on the programme for today, and
all the other amusements as well.
There will be grand balloon as
cension and parachute leap by lady,
the dog also being taken up and max
ing the parachute leap. This Will
make the balloon ascension even more
sensational than when the balloon ran
away Wednesday night with lady,
jeopardizing her life, as that is a small
affair in comparison with the dog, in
the judgment of the Humane society.
The aeronaut, however, has the dog
ascension as part of his stock in trade,
and he feels that he might as we'll
make test one time as another.
Lee Richardson the trick bicycliSt,
will be continued on the programme
one day longer than scheduled for the
purpose of making the day the most
complete on record.
The log-rolling contest, which at
tracted much attention, will also be
given, the result yesterday giving an
added zest to the event of today. Prior
to yesterday the log-rolling has been in
charge of professionals exclusively,
but yesterday an experienced log
driver tackled the cOnundrum with the
result that the professionals got wet.
The chances are that the same result
will occur today
Taking everything into consideration,
the public may be thankful for the
storm of yesterday, as it caused the
management to concentrate in today's
programme many features which they
did not anticipate, and gives an OPP
portunity to see all the exhibits and
witness a combination of amusements
comprising the very best concentra-
ton of the entire weeks entertainment
all in one day, and for single admis-
sion.
The party who may have visited the
fair for the five preceding days will
really have seen less of the great eX-
position and it's entertainments than
the one who goes only today. The pro
gramme is simply superb, and with
bright skies there ought to be $4,000
people on the grounds.
