nized this year in the erection on the
fair grounds of fine new dairy hall,
the largest building for the exhibition
of dairy products in the world.
Another world beater is the new
poultry building-153 by LAT feet
costing $25,000, and being the largest
of it's class At last the dairy and poul-
try departments of the fair are well
housed. The honey department is
cared for in the new dairy hall, and
increased space is thus secured for
agriculture and horticulture in the
agricultural building And it was
needed AS many as fourteen counties
have applied for space for county ex-
hibits; farm exhibits will be numerous
and the fruit will make a very fine
showing.
Since the last fair the agricultural
society has purchased forty acres of
additional land northeast of the old
grounds, and into this much needed
extension the agricultural implement
division Of the fair will push this year
On the new forty acres there will
also be camping ground in a beauti

of horse flesh following out their nat.
ural bent for speed under perfect con.
ditions.
The Minnesota State Fair track has
the worlds record for the fastest mile
ever made by harness horse-the
mile made by Dan Patch last year in
1:55. Dan will go again on Monday OF
fair week, trying to again lower this
wonderful mark. On Thursday, Sept
5, Sweet Marie-as great as a trotting
mare as Dan is as a pacing stallion
will endeavor to lower her world s
record of 2:02 without a pace maker
Other great horses will be in the
races spurred by the large purses and
the reputation of the track as a fast
one.
At last a practical airship has been
constructed and the state fair man
agement has secured it for flights
three times each day during fair week
It will be on exhibition between times
and when it flies it will circle the
grand stand and occasionally visit the
adjacent cities. This will be the first
opportunity of the Northwestern pub

Everybody Going; Including Dan Patch
and Sweet Marie VINO Go to
Break Their Record.

Pres. Cyrus Northrop's opening ad-
dress on Monday morning, Sept. 2,
will usher in another Minnesota State
Fair, and this, the 48th of the list,
gives royal promise of setting new
record for attendance, exhibits and
all around success. And success for
the Minnesota State Fair means more
than a balance on the right side OF
the ledger after the fair is over. Per
haps more than any other fair in the
country this one has striven to be
of practical use to the people, and
has accomplished more in this way
than many of the older fairs in larger
and richer states It's efforts to i'm

popular one for seeing the fair cheap
fly. For the campers, as well as all
the other visitors, the new sewer sys-
tenn on the fair grounds will be thing
of comfort and sanitary safety. It is
a complete system, and, with many
new public comfort stations and mod
ern plumbing, and copious supply of
pure water, will make personal COM
fort on the fair grounds certain. For
those who may be taken Ill an emer-
gency hospital will be maintained.
There is a complete United States
postofice, fire department and electric
alarp1 service, Red Cross corps, bureau
of information, local and long distance
telephone service (both companies),
eight miles of cement walks, eating
places galore, and even a place to
check the baby while the tired mother
has a little sightseeing.
But while the state fair looks we'll
to the educational side of it's work and
is alive to the comfort and conven-
ience of it's patrons, it does not forget
that many people come with the idea
of blending amusement with the more
practical objects of their visit.
It was the first fair in the country
to make racing success without the
accessories of betting and pool-selling.
Now many states are following the ex-
ample of Minnesota and hOrsemen pre-
dict that the greatest racing will, in
few years, be held at the state fairs
of the country. At the Minnesota
fairs tho races have been of the high
| est character. Notable horses will
compete for the purses hung up by the
! management this year, and racing will

raised in the northwest have met with
striking success, and it's work for edu-
cation in dairying matters, horticul-
ture, agriculture and improved prac-
tice in all the details of farm manage
ment, has been eminently efficient.
In accord with this policy the practi-
cal farm departments of this years
fair will be developed carefully and
will be more than ever of practical
benefit. Last year the great livestock
amphitheater was opened for the first
time. This brought to the attention
of the breeding world the enterprise of
the northwest and such a collection of
cattle as was never seen before will
be gathered this year at the Minnesota
fair as result. Besides the ordinary
classes the American Short Horn
Breeders Association will hold in con-
nection with the state fair a national
exhibition of short horns and there
will be special premiums for Mime
sofa raisers of this breed. Auction
sales of Shorthorns and Herefords will
be features of the week.
