and Roman candles and one or two set
pieces, an idea of the Brilliant display
that is being prepared for. every evening
during the entire week. This means that
Monday evening will be as good as
Wednesday evening and that on Saturday
night the best of the entire week will
be given for the benefit of those who
could not attend on any other night.
Every night from to 10 D. M there
will be a deluge of band music, acrobats,
races, trick performances, diving horses
fire works, all to wind up with Manila
in a blaze of glory. There is nothing
will be no waits. Everything will go
with a rush.
The following officers of the Fourth
Minnesota will take part in the dramatic
scenes of THE Burning of Manila" with
their companies. With from $50 to 400
people on the stage and $500 rounds Of
blank cartridges to fire every night
there will be a very lifelike picture Of
war on the stage:

DR.. M. B. Wood of Mankato, has been
selected as judge in the dairy classes
and a better selection could not have
been made. DR.. Wood has made a spe-
cial study of dairy cattle and is recog-
nized as an expert judge, whose decisions
are clear cut and fair. He has served
at several previous fairs and his decisions
have always given the greatest satisfac-
ton.
If not another entry IS made in the
horse department, a great show is GER
tain. DR.. Curryer has made thorough
canvass of the state, visiting horsemen
and talking not only the fair, but the
revival Of the horse industry, and the re-
suit is that a great show of horses is
certain.
A boom was expected In the cattle de-
partment, especially in the Shorthorn
class It has come and not only in Short
horns, but in Herefords, Polled Angus
and all the dairy breeds too. There are
more new herds already, to say nothing
of those the fair-going public is familiar
with, than have ever been seen at any
previous fair. In the shorthorn class, N.
P Clarke of st. Cloud, one of the old
timers who has not exhibited cattle at
recent fairs, will be on hand again with
a fine herd. This will be good news to
those who remember the grand cattle the
old Clarke herd always had in the show
rings.
Several herds of Angoras are promised
and these beautiful and useful animals
will be carefully studied by city people as
well as farmers. The Angora is a beau
tiful and dainty animal, as graceful as a
deer, with long, silky, snow-white fleece
that will be clean if the owner has a
clean bed and fair chance to keep out
Of the mud in feeding. The natural food
of the Angora IS the leaves Of trees and
shrubs and they are the greatest weed
and brush killers in the world.
Mr.. George Purvis, Of Crookston, is in
charge Of preparing county exhibit for
Polk county and has taken a novel way
of gathering what he wants. Everybody
is to bring in the best they have in ag-
ricultural products and premiums are
promised to the best in each line Out Of
this collection Mr.. Purvis makes up his
exhibit, and it will be a good one.
The following counties are already en-
tered for the county exhibitss Polk, Ohm
sted, LIE Sueur, Carlton, Norman and
Renville. OF course, others will come in
later.
