.cantile displays, and in which the
women's department. culinary exhibit
and agricultural exhibit are found.
Between the Liberal Arts building
and the grand stand there IL an un-
broken row of concessions and every
thing imaginable in the way of SOU
'venirs, edibles, etc., is to be found
here. The Parker Bros shows oc-
cupy the grounds south of the main
drive, the great gilded fronts facing
the north. Tonight these will be
aflame in all their grandeur, and the
scene bids fair to be a striking one.
West Of the Parker shows and the
grand stand are located the stock
barns, and all of them have their full
quota, of exhibits.
Flags are flying everywhere. and
the festival appearance is unbroken
from one end of the immense grounds
to the other. Everywhere there will
be found preparations for the enter
tainment of the visitors, and no time
need be lost to the fair visitor In
getting started on his fun making or
fun finding tour. There is some
thing for everybody. and everybody
is certain to be greatly pleased with
what they find.
Liberal Arts Treat.
Liberal Arts building will provide
one Of the biggest treats of the week.
This immense structure .is filled with
the finest of displays, and from the
time one enters until he completes the
circuit, he will find things ow interest.
Mercantile displays that have been
provided have taken on added elabor-
ateness this year as compared with
those Of previous seasons Every
owner of booth. apparently. has
tried his best to exceed his neighbor
suit is to be found in one of the finest
line Of displays ever afforded.
The women's department also pro-
vides many new things this year. In
the culinary division, entries are most
elaborate and complete. while In. the
several other divisions there is also
the most complete entry lists that
have been offered in several years.
The educational exhibits and the fine
arts display are really far above the
average.
In the agricultural department. the
line Of displays is better than antici-
pated, although there Is slight fall
ing off as compared with last year.
The butter entries are representative
of all sections of the state and have
been coming in today with remarkable
rapidity
In visit to the Liberal Arts build
ing one is at once impressed with the
remarkably large displays that are to
be found. Two years ago, when the
Grand Forks agricultural society held
its last fair, the small Liberal Arts
building was hardly filed with dis
plays, while this year the Liberal Arts
building, with capacity four times as
great, is crowded almost to the limit.
This growth is one Of the greatest
that has ever been enjoyed by fair
In the entire United States.
Machinery Displays Splendid.
The machinery displays are also far
above the average for a fair of this
nature, and Grand Forks has reason
to feel we'll pleased with the showing
that is being made. The machinery
hall building is filled with displays Of
nearly every kind of farm machine
manufactured, while the section di-
rectly east Of the building also boasts
Of a great many displays, all Of which
are better and more complete than
any Of those shown previously.
Dairy Cattle Display Featured.
In the dairy cattle department,
there are some splendid feature dis
plays which are better by far than
those had In previous years. The
county of Grand Forks Is especially
we'll represented in this department.
the special premiums that were made
for the benefit of the Grand Forks
farmers having had the effect Of
bringing them out in great numbers.
Not only the farmers residing in close
proximity Of the city have taken ad-
vantage Of the opportunities Of pulling
down extra good money by making
displays, but many residing in the
more remote sections have come to
the fair with exhibits that are In
every respect Of the very highest
class.
In the horse barns there Is also to
be found some Of the very finest en-
tries. Every one Of the big barns
grounds 10 filled with the big displays,
and visit to them is most certainly
we'll worth while.
In the past few years the Grand
Forks fair has come to be recognized
as being in q class Of its own 80 far
as the horse exhibits are concerned,
and this reputation will easily be
maintained with the show that is be-
ing given this year.
Poultry Display Good.
Poultry displays at the Grand Forks
fair have also been Of an exceptional-
ly high class in other years. This
year that same condition is to be
found. and visit to the big poultry
barn Is rare treat. Here are found
