Gates Of THE FERGUS
COUNTY FAIR Thrown OPEN
Good Weather Greets the Opening Day--Exhbits Are
Coming in Fast--Race Program Will Be a
Good One--Bg Crowd Expected.

After a week of rain and snow, mud
and slush, alternate hope and depres
sion on the part of not only the pro
moters of the Fergus county fair, but
of all who intend to see the many at
fractions offered at the fair grounds
the sun came out bright and strong
this morning, while the bad condition
of the roads will undoubtedly cut
down the attendance materially, the
fair promises to be, in every way. a
complete success.
Throughout the bad weather, which
has prevailed for the past seven days
the fair management has not allowed
the work on the grounds and fair
buildings to flag and the result is that
everything is in readiness for the
gates to open this afternoon. The dis
plays and exhibits are coming in rap
idly for all departments and before
night most of the events will be fill
ed. Wagon loads of Fergus county
ranch and garden products are being
piled into the space allotted to that
department in the main building and
Hon. Rudolf Won Tobel. the superin
tendent, confidently expects one of the
finest exhibits ever shown.
The grounds were visited by the Ar
gus reporter just before going tc
press and dozens of men and ladies
were found at work placing the ex
hibits as they came in. About dozer
ladies' were engaged in arranging the
exhibits for their department and as
usual it will present a most artistic
appearance. On the walls and shelves
will be found hundreds of beautiful
pieces of Battenberg and specimens
of fine needle work Even the men
who are credited with disdaining tC
notice such specimens of the ladies
skill, were seen to pause and gaze In
evident admiration at some particu
larly pretty piece OF work. Mrs. War
rem has worked hard to get up cred
table display and from present indi
cations her efforts have been met
with a most enthusiastic response by
the ladies'. In addition to that being
taken in by the ladies from this city
1t is expected that many pieces will
come in from the outside when the
country people begin to arrive this
afternoon. The judges in this depart
ment will not be announced until the
last day of the fair.
Hon. David Hilger. who is super
intending the live stock depart
ment, stated this morning that there
will be an entry for every prize offer
ed in this department. Horses and
cattle are arriving this morning In
large numbers and the stalls for the
horses, and pens for the hogs and
sheep will be filled before tomorrow
night. If you are lover OF fine
horses, fine hogs or fine sheep. do moi
fail to pay the stables and pens q
visit. Fergus county Is rapidly climb
ing to the premiership among th'
counties of the state in the live STOCK
industry and II all who have signifiet
their intention OF making exhibits
bring in their stock 1t will have the
effect of dispelling the doubts of thos'
inclined to dispute this fact.
