MINNESOTA'S BIG FAIR
FOR FORTY YEARS THE EVENT
HAS BEEN INCREASING IN
IMPORTANCE
THIS YEAR THE GREATEST YET

Indications Are That When the
Gates Swing Open Tomorrow 1t
VIII BE to Show the Largest and
Best Displays in All Lines That
Have Ever Been Collected in the
State.
For forty years Minnesota has been
holding fairs, but just as the state has
been developing year by year and is to-
day beyond all comparison with the Min,
nesota of a few decades back, so the
state fair, which opens tomorrow-the
fortieth annual Minnesota state fair
will be so far In advance of the old
time fairs that 1t will hardly be recog-
nized as belonging, to the same series.
The fair has developed with the state
In some ways it has made greater prog
ress than the commonwealth The Min
nesota fair stands today at the head OF
the list of great fairs in the country
It Is looked upon as a model and is
sought by exhibitors the country over,
as perhaps, the best fair In the country
in which to advertise their property.
This rush of exhibitors has been more
pronounced than usual this year. and
the managers have been obliged to limit
space and twist and prune to get all
would-be exhibitors in in a way never
before necessary.
1t follows that the person who buys
ticket to this fair will get more for his
money than ever before. He will find
more in every department and enjoy a
larger and better class of entertain
ments. He can also get
MORE FOR HIS MONEY
In another way. The novel feature of this
years fair is that 1t will be open at
night The visitor who stays all day
may remain in the evening If he wishes
and have the unique pleasure Of seeing
the grounds Illuminated and the build
ings and exhibits in the glare of the
most brilliant acetylene gas. Fine pro,
grammes Of races and magnificent spec.
tacular fireworks displays will be given
each evening during the week.
The admission to the fair grounds dur.
ing the day will be as heretofore, but
in the evening, after o'clock, the ad-
mission will be reduced. BY this ar
rangement two classes of people will be
specially accommodated. This will be a
chanics and working people of all kinds,
who can not spare the time to visit the
grounds during the day.
Besides, there are many people who are
specially seeking amusement in the even
ings who will enjoy the ride to the fair
grounds, the stroll through the

FIRST OF THE FORMAL TRIALS
BETWEEN COLUMBIA AND DE-
FENDER SAILED
NEW BOAT IS THE BETTER

Yachtsmen Delighted With the Re-
suit OF the Race, and Say That 1t
Is Only a Question of How Much
Columbia Will Defeat Shamrock
in the Race for the Americas
Cup-New Mast a Success.
NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 2.-The first
of the formal trials between Columbia
selecting yacht to sail against Sham
rock in defense of the Americas cup,
resulted in SO decisive victory for the
new boat that were 1t not for the fact
that it Is desirable to have her race
as much as possible other contests would
seem useless. The yachts sailed one Of
the regulation fifteen-mile windward and
leeward courses In an eight-knot breeze
that increased on the beat out and fiat
tened at the finish, and it took Columbia
Just six minutes and forty-eight seconds
less time to cover the distance than it
did the Defender.
Nearly everybody seemed fully satisfied
with the result of the race, especially
the owners of the new boat, for the steel
mast which was carried through a race
for the first time, certainly improved her
wonderfully enabling her to stand
straighter than Defender and, therefore,
to outpoint her In fact, Columbia sailed
all around the old boat, and but for
softening of the wind as she neared the
line and the subsequent freshening as
her rival came UP to the finish, the diff
ference between the two boats would
have been at least two, if not three,
minutes greater.
DEFENDER DID WE'LL.
It was a stiff brush while it lasted,
and the result was certainly no discredit
to those on the Defender. AT the start
Capt. Rhodes berthed his boat in ex-
celent style and shot her over the line
twelve seconds ahead of Columbia,
which was coming up rapidly on his
windward quarters. There Defender
held her. unable herself to get by, for
every time she tackled to port the new
boat would force her round, yet, never
theless, backwinding the new boat SO
that she could not draw ahead. AT
last. however, Columbia, by good point
ing, got out from under Defender, and
the latter was forced to swing off under
the formers stern, so as not to be blan-
keted After that the race was a mere
question of how much the Columbia
would win by.
Those who watched her saw Colum-
bia stand UP to the breeze as never be-
fore, besides footing faster and pointing
higher For a few moments the baby
lib topsail was taken off to see how she
would hold the old boat, but while 1t made

MY Innocent Boy"

The Buffalo Evening News say of
MY Innocent Boy" in which Otis Har-
Ian will appear at the Lyceum 10.
night George r. Sims has ma le a
capital bit of comedy in My Innocent
Boy which Otis Harlan brings out
at the Star this week. The play is
farcical--in spots-but 1t may be said
here that Mr. Harlan has made a long
stride toward his proper place in the
ranks of those who are doing what H.
known, for want of better tenn, as
legitimate comedy. At the Royalty
theater in London the play had a long
run, and it pleased our English friends
immensely-as it did a large audience
last night There is genuine delight
in finding on the stage in these days
play that has enough of a plot u
maintain constant interest; one that
is clean all through; one that does not
depend solely on horse play to produce
laugh. That's the sort of an affair
that Otis Harlan has in My Innocent
Boy and he is to be congratulated
as is everybody who is lucky enough
to see the comedy in it's short run at
the Star.

"The Carpet Bagger."

The popular comedian, Tim Murphy,
will appear at the Lyceum Wednesday
evening in new play by Opie Read
and Frank S, PiXley, entitled THE Car
pet BaSger." 1t is a political roman
tic comedy, full of fun. thrilling in in
terest, and has been pronounced by a
Chicago newspaper critic as the finest
American comedy written in the last
five years" Mr., Murphy gives it
magnificent production, carrying spe-
cial scenery and very strong cast,
including A. S. Lipman. The play deals
with the political situation just after
the Civil war, and exposes with un-
merciful, but humorous, satire the cor
ruptiOn of that period. 1t shows how
a man, good at heart, but in business
and politics utterly corrupt, may be
purified and redeemed by the influence
Of woman.
