FAIR PREMIUMS.
Premiums Soon to be Distributed from
State Fair association.

Premiums for exhibits at the state fair
are expected to be distributed next week.
It is expected that exhibitors from this
side of the river will come in for a good
ly number.
Burleigh county has reason to be proud
of her part of the exhibit at the fair.
Her citizens have apparently felt an
equal interest with those Of Morton
county in it's success. Year after year
they have contributed largely, not only
to the exhibits in various lines, but to
the gate receipts by e large attendance
from this side of the river. At the re-
cent fair the greater portion of the ex-
hibit of chickens, geese and ducks came
from the coops of w. A. Falconer, P.
Formoe and Chas. Wachter, all of Bis
marck. The best individual exhibits of
agricultural and garden products were
those of John Millet and Gottleib Huber.
also of Bismarck. They we're simply
magnificent. The exhibit of Mr.. Millet
would have been a credit to any state in
the northwest. o. Fl. Will also had a
fine exhibit of seeds and seed products.
In the musical contests Miss Annabel
Klaus and others of u young ladies
took first prizes. In the art department
u exhibitors took front rank, and last
but not least the Apple Creek ranch x
hibit of standard bred horses by DR.. VIM.
A. Bentley would have been a credit to
any breeding farm in the country. They
took the following general sweepstakes:
First premium for stallion of any age
or breed.
First premium for mare of any age or
breed.
First premium for stallion and four of
his get of any age or breed.
Also first and second premiums for
brood mares and colts.

First premium for best 2-year-old FLY.
First premium for best ~1-year-old illy.
First premium for sucking FLY.
First premium for best stallion.
First and second premiums for best
yearling stations.
Also first premium for best double
team of drivers.

With this exhibit was Lady Bentley, a
beautiful bay PAGER, l6h hands high and
weighing 1900 pounds; as kind as a kit
ten and very fast. She has shown quar-
tiers in 80 seconds with very little work.
Also Rhea w., a daughter of Woodford
| Wilkes, grandsire of Anaconda, 2.O4A.
This mare for beauty, style and speed
ranks with the very choicest, east or
west. The fact is we'll established that
the Missouri slope can raise the finest
specimensof horsefiesh and cheaper than
any locality in the entire country. We
have the climate and natural grasses
which make this possible. This exhibit
of horses by DR.. Bentley shows what can
be done in this line, with good stock to
breed from. The blood lines of his stock
are Wilkes, Volunteer, Swigert, Elec-
t%ioneer, Dictator, Harold, Belmont and
Thoroughbred. There is money now in
raising good horses. Prices have rapidly
advanced in the last few months.
Burleigh county should become noted
for its fine horses and as a fine field for
horse buyers. Our successes at the state
fair every year should encourage Bur
leigh county citizens to establish a
county fair and market day of their own,
which when once established would draw
buyers of horses and cattle from the en-
tire northwest.
