JUDG|NGS COMPLETED TODAY WHILE
ATTRACTIONS ARE As GOOD As EVER

With the knowledge that the North
Dakota International exposition has
'heen the greatest in the history of the
; orthwest, the directors Of the Grand
Forks Agricultural society will, to-
night at IL o'clock, officially declare
the fair at an end. After four very
successful days, two Of which were
slightly dampened by rain, the expo
sttion will come to an end this even
ing and until the last visitor has left
the grounds, everything will be just
as 1t has been since Tuesday morn
ing. This, the closing day, has been
made feature for the programs, both
afternoon and evening are equal to
and even better than those of the last
few days. The race program is espe-
cially good and II the state record IL
not lowered this afternoon, 1t will not
be the fault of the fair association, for
every effort has been put forth to get
everything in such shape that the
horses entered In the big event, the
free-for-all, will be able to make the
mile in very fast time. The track is
perfect, the work on it during the past
two days having put it into excellent
condition. -
The directors and officers Of the In
ternational exposition have establish
ed new standard of fairs in this
state in their direction Of the present
one. It has been. without doubt, the
very cleanest show Of its kind on rec
ord. From one end Of the grounds to
the other, not single game Of a ques-
tionable character has been allowed.
No gambling devices of any kind
whatsoever has been allowed on the
grounds, and while several Of the hig
NIT men have attempted to get some
easy money on certain games, they
have been quickly ordered OF the
grounds. Several arrests for sucn Of
fenses were made during the first
couple of days, and after that time no
more trouble has been experienced.
Splendid Attractions
In their selection OF the Parker
|AmusementS company TO- furnish the
attractions for the Pike, the directors
again showed good judgment, secur-
ing concern which has no betters
in the business. The shows of the
Parker people are without question the
very best obtainable and from NOR
al point Of view, are everything that
could be desired. In carnival COM
panies touring the country, there is
usually a certain amount of rowdyism,
together with shows of an immoral ma
ture. This is entirely lacking in the
Parker company, for from the manage
ment down to the lowest employee,
there is not one but who is perfect
gentleman. Their efforts to please and
entertain the fair visitors are certain
ly appreciated by the visitors as we'll
as the officials of the fair. In letting
concessions, the fair management was
also very careful and the result was
quite evident. Where there were In
previous years men who would use all
devices and methods to fleece their
