not the best fairs ever held in this
section of the northwest will be in
augurated. The fair lasts four days;

Exhibits to be entered for competi-,
ton for prizes at this fair must be
upon the grounds today, the Both,
grounds and buildings of the society
now being open for the purpose of
placing exhibits.
This work Is going on rapidly today,
many exhibitors arriving with their
entries Sunday and this morning, and
the scenes at the fair grounds are
ones Of hustle and activity in prepara-
ton for the opening day, tomorrow.
Exhibitors are we'll satisfied with the
excellent opportunities afforded them
for the convenience Of their exhibits.
Several have SO expressed themselves
today and the accommodations are
equal to any in the northwest.
The exposition buildings include
main exhibition hall, a large structure
with. eight thousand square feet of
floor space and admirably adapted to-
the purpose, containing the general
Industrial exhibit, the woman's de-
partment and the art department, to-
gether with several minor sections:
agricultural hall, devoted to the dis
play Of agricultural products, dairy
products, appliances, etc.; a large and
conveniently arranged poultry exhibit
ton hall, four large cattle barns; two
horse barns and fifty box stalls for
horses; and grand stand and am
phitheatre with seating capacity of
about 1000.
Besides an exhibition of stock,
grains, vegetables, fine arts, etc., there
will be racing programs carried out
each day, and many attractions new,
interesting and instructive.
The price of admission for adults
will be fifty cents each time of entry,
and for children under fourteen
twenty-five cents. Admission will be
by ticket, and every person must be
provided with proper ticket before
being allowed to enter. Necessary
attendants upon stock and machinery
will be furnished with passes by the
secretary. Such passes will bear the
name of the person to whom issued
and will not be good for the admission
of any other person. Season tickets
will be issued for the whole exhib!-
ton at $1.25 for adults and Is cents
for children under fourteen years of
age.
The society will provide policemen
and watchmen who will remain con-
stantly upon the grounds, night and
day, during the continuance Of the
exposition, but exhibitors are expected
to exercise constant care over their
articles for exhibition, as the society
will not be responsible for loss or
damage by theft, fire or otherwise.
There will be distinctive features
for each day as planned by the exc
cutive committee at its meeting Sat
urday evening and the main feature of
the fair, the horse races, will be the
best card offered the lovers of horses
in the state.
The reasons for this are obvious.
All of the horses which were entered
at the state fair at Fargo will be here,
at least those which can be looked to
for making showing, and In addi-
ton there will be several entries from
Winnipeg where the races have just
closed. The horses have all worked
out In good shape. some of them hav-
ing had their first experience for the
