As the season for the Cascade county
fair approaches the interest in its poly
hedral attractions increases. The pre-
MUM lists and programs in splendid
pamphlets have been well distributed
over the six counties interested, and the
people have been generally informed
upon the various features Of the great
industrial fair. Although the principle
features of the fair had been decided up
on, the board of directors have still been
active in promoting the various inter-
csting details and almost daily adding
new features to the already rcplcte pro-
gram.
These additions have been given pub
licity in the HERALD, and the readers
are generally familiar with such pro-
gress. The latest addition however to
the bills is an announcement which eY-
erybody will read with delight, for cv-
erybody is going to the fair, The an
nounccmcnt alluded to comes ont as Il
sort Of supplement to the premium list,
| and explains quite fully the race feature
of the institution. the exact plans of
which were not previously completed.
According to the extensive program OF
races and equine exhibits the fair will
be equal to a Roman hippodrome.
The board Of directors having made
arrangements with Col. Ed. a. Upton,
manager Of the Butte and Anaconda
Racing Association, to include Great
Falls in his circuit take pleasure in an
nouncing that Il series of first class
races, commencing Saturday September
II, and closing Friday Sept. 23, will be
given on the best and fastest mile track
in the state of Montana, at Great Falls.
These races will m three days
before the opening of the fair and be
given each afternoon of the fair.
The fair will open Tuesday, Sept. 20,
and close Friday, Sept. 90.
