GREAT EXPOSITION

good shape. Mixer was steady and
went strong. leading the procession the
distance, closely. followed BY Hattie
Wilkes with Baby X third and Mark
Onward fourth, finishing in this order
in a good heat.
Mixer took the second heat
in driving finish, Hattie
Wilkes again contesting the home
stretch and they finished again in one,
two, three, four order as in the first
heat. 1t looked like Mixers race, but
there was a surprise in store for the
wisest ones in the next heat Mixer
again lead the field, but in the home
stretch, Mark Onward. the Winnipeg
horse which finished fourth in the two
previous heats, came out of the ruck
and beat him in driving finish at the
wire.
In the next heat, Mixer went of his
feet at the first turn and was not con-
sidered again during the journey. He
dropped to a poor fourth and the
spirits OF his friends and hackers went
down to zero while the admirers of
Mark Onward shouted their delight at
his good performance. when he came
free and strong under the wire, win
ner OF the heat. with Baby X second,
Ipswich Boy third and Mixer fourth,
Hattie Wilkes fifth.
In the fifth heat again did fortune
change and the chestnut mare, Baby
X. who now had three third places
to her credit and one second, made
bid for recognition. Mark Onward,
with the pole. lead to the three quar-
tiers, when the st. Paul mare came in
TO the stretch strong and stole the
heat from him in as game a drive as
has been seen on the course this year.
The money was divided as follows:
First money divided between Mark
Onward and Mixer. second money
went to Baby X. and third to Hattie
Wilkes. Following is the summary:

North Dakota Products.


The North Dakota exhibit is full of
Interest and at the same time is dis
tinctively local. The artistic has to
some extent been sacrificed to stern
facts but the work is we'll done. One
feature is magnificent and complete
display of all the native weeds, grasses
and flowers of the state. The speci-
mems were collected by the class in
agriculture OF the state university, and
each one is properly mounted and
named so that study can be made OF
them without difficulty.
BY the side of the native and wild
plants are those which have been
planted and developed by man and
made to serve his purpose in the state.
From the farm proper are to be seen
the wheat. rye. oats, speltz. barley.
millet and fax. the great money MAX
that the wheat does not do the state
justice b. any means. but taken as a
whole. the stranger would be able to
get decidedly strong impression OF
the producing power of the soil from
the exhibits TO be seen. One OF the
interesting things is the large number
OF displays of growing corn. Thirty
nine samples are on exhibition, a
number of them being we'll developed
and fresh and green as though they
had just come from the ground. The
majority of them are food exhibits but
in some the ear development is we'll
advanced. incidentally there are
number of specimens of matured corn
grown last year, and while the SAM
pies do not rival the ones which would
be expected to be seen in Iowa or
Ohio, they are sufficient to prove that
the corn growing question in this
state is not hobby. Another thing
that strikes the attention of the OBJ
server is sample of North Dakota
timothy fully three feet in length, we'll
headed and having crisp and rich
stalks.
From gardner has been gathered
an exhibit that would cause an east
ener to unh:nge his Jaw with wonder
and astOnishment. There are beets.
carrots. cucumbers, peas. onions, rad
ishes. rutabagers, turnips, beans and
tomatoes. The latter deserves special
mention. for it has been argued that
this vegetable can not be grown in
this country. Several exhibitors have
them with the fruit fully matured and
ripened on the vines and of the most
delicious favor and OF extraordinary
size. The exhibit of 4. a. Weeks of
this city is worth going several miles
TO see. The vines loaded with the
luscious fruit are nearly nine feet in
length and are loaded from the ground
to the tip with we'll developed fruit.
Two branches not more than eight
inches in length contain eleven and
twelve tomatoes respectively. and had
there been more room for any more
they would probably have grown.
The vines contain several we'll ripened
samples. thus showing that they will
mature in this climate and run no risk
of frost,

Tho Educational Exhibits.

One OF the most interesting as we'll
as instructive exhibits at the fair is
what is known as the educational eX-
hibit and belongs to the NJ. H. Redick
Hide company. 1t consists of furs OF
nearly every fur bearing animal, a
number of mounted specimens includ-
ing cariboo, elk head, deer heads,
fish, and number of others. Twenty
eight specimens of North Dakota
woods are shown, including nearly all
the native timbers. There are some
curiosities in the exhibit, one of which
is human fore arm bone pierced with
an arrow head, the bone having been
found in the western part of the state
Still another one is specimen OF the
peculiar lace wood from Jamaica. The
layers of this wood are removable and
have exactly the appearance of fine
lace, and the fiber is so strong that it
can not be torn.
The AnEora Geats.
The tendency in this state is to get
the useful rather than the ornamental,
but one exhibit shows that what is
sometimes termed the ornamental is
the useful as we'll. This is the flock
OF angora goats exhibited by the En-
vile stock farm. The writer has seen
these animals in the east, where they
were an important matter on the best
stock farms, and it is no exaggeration
to say that the ones on exhibition at
the fair are much better in the uuali-
ties for value than the ones to be found
in the east. The coat is finer and more
abundant, while the animals have a
much more vigorous and healthy ap-
pearance.
