Amusements at the fair will be bet

and variety. The largest race entry
list ever made up for any state fair
was announced soon after July l..
More than 260 horses were entered
and for the great $1,000 pacing race
Al entries were made. This means
tremendous racing at the state fair.
And the racing program will be sup
lplemented with specialites of high
order. Schreyer the daredevil bicy-
Gle shoot-the-chute fiend will be at
the fair again after tour of success
es throughout the continent. Running
races, hippodrome events, balloon as

whom he alleges lost him $500 by fail

agreed to sell him the timber on
lands In section %, ellis, for $500, and
though he offered them the money
they refused to give him the deed.
Then, later; they sold it to the Leisure
Lumber company for $1,000. He
claims that is what it is worth, and
he sues for the difference between
that figure and the sum DIT which he
was to buy the timber, or $500.

STATE FAIR.
The Exhibit This Year to be The Best Ever
Held In the State.

Tn. Exhibit This Year to be The Best Ever
Held In the State.
AS the 44th Annual Minnesota State
Fair will open In a short time 1t is
quite In order to give some general
statement of the plans of the fair up
to date. These plans have been made
on a generous scale and with the idea
of progress which has characterized
the conduct of the Fair for some years
past and which has built it up to be
the foremost state fair in the land.
The fair will be opened on Monday,
August 81, with an address by United
States Senator Charles w. Fairbanks,
of Indiana. an eloquent and forceful
speaker of national reputation and
known as presidential possibility
of the future. His address will prob
ably cover agricultural questions and
some of the great issues of the day.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the fair will be the National
Live Stock exhibitions and sales held
in connection with the American
Hereford Breeders Association and
the American Shorthorn Breeders
Association. These exhibitions have
grown from tentative display four
years ago until they are known among
breeders all over the country as the
most successful shows of their kind.
The Minnesota fair is the only state
fair which can secure these national
exhibitions. Auction sales of prize
animals will be held in the great tent
on the fair grounds during several
days of the fair.
Premiums have been increased in
all departments and $4,000 is now
the grand total offered by the Mime
sofa Fair for exhibits and in purses.
Most of this money goes to agricul-
tural and animal exhibits: the exhibits
of manufactures and machinery are
rewarded by diplomas and honorable
mention. But these exhibits will be
none the less interesting and extern.
siye. There will be the largest dis
play of farm implements and machin-
cry ever seen in the west. This de-
partment will center about the new
Farm Machinery Building which has
been erected this summer at cost of
SIC, 900.
In the main or exposition building
every foot of space was assigned be-
fore midsummer and booths will be
erected as in 1902 for the accommO-
dation of the overflow exhibitors. The
dairy building will be crowded: the
poultry building has been equipped
with new show coops and will make
a fine display of the feathered tribe.
The wOman's department has out
grown its old quarters and has been
given the building used only few
years ago for the entire agricultural
and horticultural display. This shows
the enormous growth of the fair. This
old building $50 feet long held all
the agricultural and horticultural ex-
hibits three years ago; now the wo-
mans department which then occu-
pied a corner in the exposition build
ing will find it none too large, while
the new agricultural hall, occupied
first in the fair OF 1901 land 260x24C
feet in size) is already oyercrowded
with displays.
There will be keen competition
among the counties this year. The
premium awards for county exhibits
have been revised aud increased and
