For the Interstate Fair.

Robert II. Cosgrove, Secretary
and Manager of the Spokane Inter-
state Fair, which this year is held
October 3 to 8, has left Spokane
and gone east after special attrac-
tions to put on at the fair this year.
This is the first time the Spokane
Fairs have taken the trouble to send
a man east to select these attrac-
tions, which are so important to
the jollity and success of the Fair.
In other years the Fair has booked
its attractions as best it could, from
circulars and secondhand reports.
Excellent selections have at times
been made in this way and at the
same time some very poor turns
also have been chosen.
Mr.. Cosgroye is just the man to
send on this mission, rather than
to delegate the important task to
some one else. Mr.. Cosgrove has
been in the exposition business all
his life and knows just what at.
tracts the people. He is so we'll
acquainted with the vaudeville pro-
fession that he doubtless will be
able to drive good bargains for the
Spokane Fair, as we'll as pick out
much better attractions than have
been had in the past.
And the interesting part of it is,
these attractions are to be free in
front of the new grandstand, and
not off in some sideshow, where
extra charges will be made to see
them.
Mr.. Cosgrove will visit the Do.
minion of Canada Exposition al
Winnipeg, which is one of the big.
,gest fairs in America, and he will
visit the Minnesota State Fair
which is one of the big fairs of the
middle states.
