THE STATE FAIR.
Will Easily Outclass all its Pre-.
decessors.

The Minnesota State Fair of 1906
will easily outclass all its predecessors.
Even at this early date it is certain
that the exhibits are to be more num-
|erous than in 1905, when many depart
ments were more than doubled in size.
And this year the great livestock
ampitheater, which has been under
construction all spring and summer,
will be used for judging and selling
cattle and horses and will be the
center Of attraction on the grounds.
Around it will gather the greatest
livestock display ever made at state
fair.
The fair is to be held during the
week of Sept. 3 to and the great
livestock ampitheater will be opened
and dedicated on Monday. James j.
Hill will make the dedicatory address.
It will be great and significant
occasion. On the same day, in the
afternoon, Dan Patch. King of PAGERS,
bAo SlCoOOuoj AiuS VI 4lOUUCISy Will
go against their own worlds records,
while great amusement program
will also be given. 1t will thus be
seen that Monday, Sept. 3. the open
ing day of the fair, will be one of the
greatest days of the year.
Half-fare rates on the railroads go
into effect on the Saturday previous
so that anyone living within 500 miles
of the fair can easily reach St. Paul
or Minneapolis sometime during Sat-
urday, Sunday or early Monday morn
ing-in time for the great events.
A six-days ladies' relay riding race
will be one of the sensational amuse-
ment attractions. Each evening
there will be fine entertainment be-
fore the grand stand concluding each
night with Gregory's "Moscow"-the
latest and greatest pyrothecnic spec
tacle.
