THE STATE FAIR.

The South Dakota state board of
agriculture, with permanent head
quarters established, with magnificent
buildings and the splendid tribute paid
it by the last state Legislature in the
way Of substantial appropriations for
permanent structures necessary to
improve, care for and protect its al
ready large investment, has spared no
pains to attract the attention of the
people of this state along every con-
ceivable feature. First, to please; sec
ond, to entertain, and third, to assist
in educating the people along lines
of material welfare for the advance
ment of the. state in all of its differ
ent resources The board absolutely
guarantees to- it's patrons the largest
and finest agricultural exhibit ever
put before the public and which no
is likewise true in every department
of live stock. In addition to this, the
horticultural exhibit will surprise and
astonish even the people of this state,
and more so, every visitor from
abroad.
Every department is safely estimat-
ed to be threefold hat of any pre-
vious year. The woman's department,
housed in the largest and handsomest
80 -, ~, Tho ~rAtnIn mill hn n
credit to the of this state,
and no citizen will regret the time or
the expense alone in visiting this de-
partment. Last, but not least, the
standard free attractions are of the
very best character-new, startling
and attractive, and will please all in
the feats performed daily before the
huge grandstand, combined with four
hours each afternoon of the best rae
ing under the speed program ever of
fered in the west. The entries just
closed for the fair will attract the at
tention of the entire west in the purs-
es offered, the large entry and holly
contested heats of the different races
the program.
Add to these attractions the educa-
tional lectures in the woman's build
the live stock department and
the agricultural and horticultural de-
partments, which will enable the most
critical to find something every min
ute to please, entertain and instruct
the people of the state and enable you
to meet your neighbors and friends
different parts of the state
and more thoroughly convince
from different parts of the
state and more thoroughly convince
you that South Dakota really is the
richest state per capita in the Union.
The board has spared no pains TO
offer these main features, en- din re-
it's encouragement should be the
liberal support of every man, woman
and child in the state, who can spare
the time to attend. 1t takes two
things to make a fair. First, the
management must produce that which
will please and entertain the people
along every line, and second, the peo-
pie must attend and exhibit, and the
board earnestly pleads that South Da-
kotans show their appreciation of the
sacrifice of time and chances
taken by the board in Offering to the
public the best program ever offered
by any western state. Remember that
every railroad in the state sells tick
cts to- the fair at one fare for the
round trip and that the people of
the city of Huron are as a unit in
their ~endeavors to care for the visit
ors to the fair and will have the best
of attractions upon it's streets to en-
the crowds in the evening. The
of sleeping accommodations is
in the hands of a large committee,
who will see that everybody is taken
