FAIR PROGRAMME
Is MADE PUBLIC
Many Interesting Events Are Already
Scheduled.
CEREMONIES AT OPENING
DAYS SET APART FOR VARIOUS
COUNTIES.

The state fair of 1905 opens a week from
tomorrow and runs through the week,
which makes the fair last six days this
year instead of only five, as has been
the custom. The extension of time has
seemed advisable to the management be
cause of the unusually large number OF
free attractions 1t was believed that
the crowds that viii visit the fair could
not see all of these attractions properly
in five days
The opening ceremonies this year will
begin at 1:S0 o'clock in the afternoon
instead of at 10 O'Clock i'm the morning.
This is another innovation and il will
make Il possible for more people 10 see
the ceremony. At the hour named Cover
nor Cutler and his staff. accompanied by
the fair officials. viii take positions on
the band platform in the new hall OF
manufactures and liberal arts.

After music by Iield's band Rev. Mr..
