that the Connecticut this trial was carrying

other hand the private shpbullders assert thht the
fact that the Louisiana had her trial when the

OUR GUNNERS AHEAD
apparently No Reason to Fear
Foreign Competition.

Washington, Aug. 9-For several years the
Navy Department has not regarded it good
policy to acquaint foreign nations with the per-
fornances Of the American naval gunners. 1t
was felt that the publication of a good record
made by our men would only serve to stimulate
the gunners of other nayies to better their own
performances. which in turn would require adj
ditional effort on the part of American gunners
TO maintain their superiority.
But the publication recently of the fact that
during target practice by the British Channel
fleet IN the presence of King Edward one gun
made nineteen hits in twenty-One shots, thereby
earning a decoration from the King. has natu-
rally touched the pride of some Of the American
naval officers. They have looked into the rec
ords Of the American gun pointers during the
annual target practice just closed, and nave
found no reason to fear a comparison with lhe
gunners of any other navy
OF course, the fact that the important eIe-
ments of speed and calibre of gun are lacking
in the report OF the British performance makes
il difficult to arrive at exact comparison. but,
from the number of shots fired. IL Is assumed
that the British gun was not more than u inches

STATE FAIR OF OF.
The 4Sth Annual Display of Minne-
sofas Products Opens

Every Department To Be Enlarged
New Buildings and
improvements.
Dan Patch on Opening Day-A Big
Air Ship All The
Week.

With many new buildings, great
changes on the grounds, wonderful
improvements in lighting and santa
ton, and large area added to it's ex-
hibitin space, the Minnesota State
Fair will this year be indeed "the
greatest fair in America"
The fair is 70 open Monday, Sept, 2,

the week, closing on Saturday, Sept.
r.. Unusual efforts have been put
forth on the part of the managers to
make the fair great one and even at
this early date very largely increased
exhibits are assured in all divisions of
the fair.
The opening of the mammoth Live
stock Amphitheater last year attract
ed the attention of stockmen all over
the country and they are coming in
great numbers this year to show their
animals in the best equipped stock
division of any fair in the country.
The new dairy Building is an ade
quate building to represent the enor-
nous dairy interests in the state.
Near it is the new Poultry Hall-the
largest building for the exhibition of
poultry in the world. A new Manu-
features building will supplement the
one erected few years ago. The
Grand Stand has been rebuilt and
made perfectly safe and new bleachers
accommodating 5000 more people
have been erected. The new sewer
system and public comfort stations
make the grounds perfectly sanitary.
At night the grounds and buildings
will blaze with electric light and races
under arc lights and wonderful pyro-
technics in connection with the 1.-THE
Siege of Jericho" spectacle will fur
nish magnificent entertainment.
A mammoth air ship will sail about
the grounds daily and visit each city
in turn. The races will be of the
finest and will be "pulled off" amid
absolutely clean surroundings.
Dan Patch will appear again on
Monday in an endeavor to break his
record made last year at the Minneso-
ia fair, when he reduced his worlds
record for harness horse to 1855. On
Thursday, Sweet Marie, the champion
trotting mare will go against her
record of 2:O2. Saturday will be Auto
mobile day. A hundred other great
amusement features will be on the
programs and there will be something
doing every hour of each of the six
days.
B. F. Nelson is president of the fair
and O. N. Cosgrove secretary. The
fair grounds are located midway be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis and
easay accessible from each city by
electric cars.
