FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
A Remarkable List of Entertainers Be.
ing Secured for County Fair.

In addition to securing the Okabe
japanese troupe of Jugglers and
tumblers, as announced in this paper
for last week, for the county fair to
be held in this city on Sept. 26th,
9th and 18th, the committee on
attractions has secured the High
lander Jubilee Singers, a strong
bunch of negro plantation singers,
and also Bailey & May, the greatest
of novelty equilibrists and barrel
| jumpers. The latter two have been
signed to appear at the state flair
during the first week lin September,
and their appearance there is an in
dication of the perfection of their
work and guarantee of the ability
to please any audience. They will
introduce the longest blindfold jump
on record, while their wardrobe and
stage is of the richest order.
The committee is expecting to Sc
cure Patrick and Francisco, two of
the greatest rube tumblers now in
the United States. They do their
work from moving rack filled with
hay as it passes thru the streets.
When the latter have been signed to
appear the fair association will have
one of the strongest list of free
attractions ever presented in the
west.
Several of the leading stock rails
ers of Redwood county held meet
ing with several members of the
special committee on stock exhibits
at the First National bank last Sat-
urday afternoon and all of them
were enthusiastic over the prospects
for greatest ever" show at the
end of September, and all of them
agreed to have their herds in COM
petition for the big county special
prizes, and also for the smaller prem
iums on the regular premium list.
This means that the finest herds of
cattle in southwestern Minnesota
will be at the fair on. those three
days.
So enthusiastic were the different
stockmen present over the prem
iums that are going to be offered and
the attractions that have already
been secured that each one volun-
teered a special contribution of S.
towards defraying the expenses of
the big show. The securing of the
great Okabe Royal japanese troupe
direct from the imperial theater at
Toxic, Japan, was regarded as one
of the biggest feats ever attempted
by county agricultural society.
Negotiations are now pending for
base ball tournament to run dur
ing the entire three days of the fair.
The management of the society has
agreed to hold off the street attrac-
tons for one hour and so minutes
each day for base ball tournament
on condition that good ball teams,
like those at Sanborn, Lamberton, |
Revere and Marshall can be induced
to participate in the tournament
otherwise the street attractions are
to be kept going continuously.
A big industrial and live stock
parade is now being considered as
morning feature of the second day.
and if enough merchants can be in
duced to participate the parade will /
occur, and the big street attractions
will be placed in the line. Merch-
ants from other towns will be asked
to participate.
The directors of the agricultural
society will meet tomorrow evening
to consider such matters as may be
brought before them, and to take
action on the revision and publica-
ton of the premium list. Every di-
rector should be present.
