FEATURES OF THE BIG FAIR
PLENTY OF ENTERTAINMENT PRO-
VIDED ALL WEEK.

Secretary f, w. Randall, of the state
agricultural society, has completed the
daily programme of entertainment for
the six days of the fair, afternoon and
evening. 1t IS attractive enough to draw
an immense crowd to the fair grounds,
without reference to the instruction
that every visitor will receive during a.
trip through the exhibition buildings and
barns and which is the real purpose Of
the fair.
The great practical utility Of these an
nuaI exhibitions is beyond question. AS
object lessons upon the great and varied
resources of the state. they are Of ines
Unable value, not only to our own peo-
pie, but to the thousands of visitors who
come from other states to study the ma
terial wealth and progress of the COM
monwealth. Well managed fairs reach
and benefit all avenues of industrial life,
Their influence is felt in all directions.
There Is not a home, a farm, a factory
or commercial house that is not benefit
ted, directly or indirectly, and the better
the fair the more far-reaehing are the
beneficial results
But the American people demand
amusement as we'll as instruction and the
state fair management is but recogniztna
this characteristic in providing enter
tainment of a high order. The education
al feature is not entirely lost sight OF
even in the exhibition that is to take
place before the grand stand The after
