Agricultural society last year in hav-
ing two days of rain, the managers
of the different departments of the
fair are arduOusly at work at this
time to bridge over this difficulty and
give the residents of this county one

county, until several years ago were
not considered up to date until the

of the institution. The dates for the
fair are Sept. II, l3 and IA.
The Mankato institution is a men,
Der of the Minnesota State Fair Short

to the facility with which entries can
be secured for the several races, which
will be put on during the last two
DAYS of the fair. Races will be each
day of the fair and the program will
be called at two o'clock every after
noon. it is anticipated that races con-
tinuing entries by owners of horses
competing at the state fair will enter
tain the fair visitors during the after
moons of these days.
Already a number of entries have
been made with the secretary for the
fall meet. The track will be kept in
shape until after the fair. Several To-
cal horses will be entered for the
races.
