SEPTEMBER 20, RI, r., 23
MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS MADE
At THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Next week Brookings county's big
fair will be held opening on Tuesday
and closing Friday. Practically all
arrangements have been completed
and we want to assure u readers
that it will be the best fair eve held
in this county, and we have had some
good ones. The new buildings will
be completed in time for the opening,
and If only the weather man Is decent
enough to send four warm days the
fair will be a success The weather
is the only doubtful proposition and
as this week has been rather cold and
dark we are anticipating a change
for the better.
The attractions for this years fair
are we believe the best the associa-
ton has ever presented. They are
the best to be secured in their class
ard should add greatly to the success
of the week. The best attraction, per-
haps, will be Bonnie, the educated
horse, the mare with the human brain.
Bonnie can do ebout anything an ordi-
nary person can do. She tells the
time, picks out numbers, colors. flags
and does many other things that de-
note almost human intelligence.
Among the other attraction are a
troup of performing dogs, trOup of per-
forming goats, team of juvenile aero
bats, world renowned high diving dog,
and Tony Sante, the youngest high
diver in the world. All these attrac-
tions will perform in front of the
grandstand each day and part of them
will appear as free entertainment on
the streets in the evening.
There will be a ball game each day
between the well known Brookings
Grays and other strong teams. The
first day the opponents of the Grays
will be Volga, Arlington will face
them Tuesday and Thursday and Fri
day they meet WatertOwn.

will be given on Main street. Thurs

that city, carrying a big crowd Of
Watertown boosters. They will be
accompanied by their Booster band,
one of the best musical organizations
in this section. which will help the
Brookings band TO entertain the
crowds during the day.
An unusually good exhibit is expect
ed in all the departments, but there
is always room for more and every
one in the county should do what
they can to make this feature of the
fair a success. The new buildings
will give much needed o in all
the departments and the exhibits can
be shown to much better advantage.
