Butte QaY Prouran1.

Helena, Oct. "A full program on en-
tertanments for the Butte and Anaconda
delegations tomorrow, Butte Day, has been
arranged. 1t is expected that at least 1000
people will come from the metropolis and
the Smelter City. Their special train will
be met at the depot by special trains to the
fair grounds and the visitors will be
whirled right out to the fair without loss
of time.
Among the entertainments planned is
livestock parade, in which all the stock on
exhibition will be led about the track.
Right after the parade, the judges will
begin to make awards on horses and sad
dle-horses, which are numerous and inter-
esting. The stock display is unusually
fine.
Odel, the high diver, will then follow
with his perilous feat, which never fails
to elicit the wonder and admiration OF the
crowd. A vaudeville show, acrobats, songs
and dance turns, ETC., will then be given
in front OF the grandstand.
Broncho Busting.
The exhibition OF broncho busting by
Jake Ross Of Toston, is to follow. Ross is
one of the famous busters Of the North
west. He took gold medal in Helena in
1882 for riding the famous Belgrade bull.
He has 10 wild horses of his own, and in
addition, bets he can ride anything brought
him.
The ladies' relay races and the regular
races will be pulled off as usual.
The weather man has reented. The
stormy and disagreeable weather which
has marred the two days of the State Fair
has abated somewhat and today the man
up in the Power block, who presdes over
the destinies of the weather, is trying to
make record for himself.
Old Sol Smiles.
The sun is shining brightly, the high
wind has abated and the weather condi-
tons are generally more favorable. The
mider weather is having the effect of at
tracing many visitors to the fair ground.
Incoming trains last night brought many
people to Helena from all parts Of the
state, and the attendance today is expect
ed to be record breaker.
This is childrens day and the little
ones are present in large numbers. The
Helena public schools were closed for
school children and the teachers.
The first train which went down to the
fair grounds at II a. III. was crowded
Win youngsters, tHSh PaiSits anu oSHooi
marms. The following trains carried
large numbers, until at noon 1000 were
OH the ground.
A line of 'busses to the grounds is also
carrying large number of visitors, both
young and old. The children found much
to interest them, especially in the live
stock exhibit. They crowded around the
sleek looking animals, especially the
Angora goats, and many were the express
sions OF wonderment.
They Have Him Tight.
The big Angora goat ,Xho chewed his
halter Monday and wenx.bn the rampage
around the grounds before he was re-
captured, is an object of especial interest
to the youthful visitors. He is now
fastened with piece of wire and will
not be able to cut himself loose again.
The balloon ascension, which has been
postponed two days OH account of the high
wind, will quite likely be pulled off this
afternoon for the benefit of the children,
unless the wind should take notion to
again do business, which does not seem
likely.
Another feature of children's day that
the management will endeavor to give
will be the exhibition of the ,loodhounds
which have been brought here to trace the
Northern Pacific dynamiters. 1t is pro-
posed to have man make the circuit of
the track, then return and become lost
in the crowd. The hounds will be given
the scent in the hope they will follow his
