The State Fair Premium List has
just been issued by Sec. T.. w. Ran
dali for the State Agricultural Socie-
ty, being the first time in some years
that the society has published its
own list. Under old conditions the
list has not been very satisfactory
and this year the board of managers
decided to publish on their. own ac-
count, even if the expense was there
by increased. AS a result OF this
policy, a very handsome book has
been produced
The most notable thing in connec-
tion with the announcements of pre-
miums and prizes is the fact that the
total offerings of the Minnesota State
Fair for this year reach the enorm-
GUS sum of $4,000. an amount not
equalled by any other state fair in
the country or any local fair or eX-
position anywhere. a large part OF
this increase is in the agricultural
division of the fair where through
additions of new classes and extra
premiums and the enlargement OF old
offerings there is an increase of some
$4,000. These divisions of the fair
have been carefully gone over and
the premium offerings brought thor
oughly up to date.
The amusement program is very
strong and two of the standard ST.
600 races have been advanced this
year to the $2,5O0 class, which will
greatly increase the interest in track
events. In the opening announce
ment signed by President c. n. Cos
grove and Sec. f. w. Randall, it is
stated that evening amusements will
be prominent part of this years
fair and that in every particular care
will be taken to make the amuse-
ment side of the fair Il success.
