SOME HORSES OF DISTINCTION
Which Will Cause More Interest in
the Events Than the Purses Seem
to Warrant-About Twenty Racers
Now in the StabIe-More Expected
to Arrive Today.

The long line of stalls filled with
sleek looking racers, the jockeys in
various colored sweaters, together
with the hundred and one little things
always to be found around racing
stable, presents a picture to the visi-
memories of the race meets of by
gone days. AS early as last week
race horses began to arrive at the
track and were allotted stalls on the
south side of the grounds just west
of the main entrance. Each morning
and evening the horses are taken to
the track and worked out, after which
they are again returned to their stalls
and given a rubbing down. Nothing
is left undone to insure the health of
the horses, and the owners and at
tendants take no chances of any in
jury or sickness that will prohibit
their charges from starting in the re-
spective races for which they are en-
tered.
The horses so far entered are most
ly from the east side of the range and
are touted to be cracker-jacks. The
horsemen from the reservation are
slow in entering this year, and on
Monday evening there was but one
horse from that vicinity on the fair
grounds 1t is expected that tAere
will be several arrive today, however,
and when the gong sounds for the
first race the horsemen from the res
4 ervation will be largely represented.
Within the last few days number of
new stalls have been constructed, as
the original number was found to be
inadequate.
While the displays of various kinds
have not yet arrived, it is safe to say
that the various industries of the
county will be ably represented, as
the numerous inquiries received show
that the people at large are taking an
interest in lie fair and intend to cen
tribute their share toward making it
a success. There will be displays of
fancy and thoroughbred stock of all
kinds, all kinds of fruit and vegeta-
| bles, and a mineral exhibit; also all
kinds of nursery stock. In this line
Amos Estey of the Flathead Nurser-
les will give a personal prize of one
dozen apple trees for the best plate
of McMahons white, and also one
dozen apple trees for the best plate
of Alexander apples, two very prom
Using varieties for Montana.
LA Low a
will doubtless attract much atten-
ton will be the exhibit of drawings
by the pupils of the city schools. This
will consist of drawings of maps, ply
siological and mechanical drawings
by pupils of all ages and grades, and
will no doubt interest all who have
the welfare of the schools at heart
The pens, for the stock will adjoin
the stables, while the other exhlb'
it's will occupy the booths near the
grand stand.
