Putnam's band discoursed excellent
music at the grand stand, while the
famous FIRST Regiment band of Lisbon
attracted much favorable comment at
the merchants pavilion.
Every other place seemed to be an
eating house or restaurant, and If any
one went away hungry, 1t was not the
fault of the caterers.
The state fair was great success
and Fargo did everything possible to
make 1t so. If the Wright brothers
aeroplane had flown, nothing would
have been lacking to make this show
the greatest ever.
LaMoure Echo: The state fair at
Fargo was the best state fair that has
ever been held in the state. The man
agement did everything in their power
to make it attractive and interesting
and succeeded far beyond the expecta-
ton of the majority of visitors, The
races were fair, there being several
close races, Hedgewood Boy lowering
the state record. Much disappointment
was felt when 1t was known, that Dan
Patch had in the cool of the mornings
made the mile in less than two minutes
and the crowds were not allowed to see
this famous horse make the go. La
Moure county carries off several Of the
prizes.
New Salem Journal: The crowds at
tending the state fair purely on pleas
ure bent, show that the people of the
state are not discouraged by the poor
crop prospects this year but meet the
conditions with optimistic courage, ex-
pecting bumper crop again next year
to make up for it. The midway was
one grand round OF amusements and
games of chances and with the races
and Patterson show furnished all the
excitement that could be required for
the crowds. The exhibits of grains and
vegetables could not be so elaborate
as in other years but the exhibition Of
stock and poultry was something to be
proud of.
Lakota Observer: The state fair be.
ing held at Fargo this week is reported
to be big success. 3D..
Finley Beacon:. Yesterday was edi-

If there was anything worth seeing
that the editors did not see, it must
have been something that was SNUG
gled into the grounds without the
knowledge of these efficient officers.
Crystal Call: From all the reports
the attendance at fairs appears to be
breaking all previous records in spite
of dry weather. Fargo reports the
largest attendance at the state fair
within the history of that institution,
and the exhibits good.
Page Record: The big North Dakota
state fair was held at Fargo the past
week and proved to be one of the best
in its history. The exhibits in all de-
partments were good while the race
programme was up to its usual high
Standard The state record was broken
by Hedgewood Boy, who
paced mile in 2:05A. The pole team
failed to lower the worlds record In
their attempt, making the mile In 2:16.
The free attractions were all good and
made a big hit with the crowds. The
midway was a popular place, where
many and varied attractions were offer.

Cooperstown Courier: This is state
fair week at Fargo and many of our
are down in the gateway CITY
taking in the big show. Fargo has made
great strides with the state fair and
the management is putting up fine and
substantial buildings. Yesterday was
press day at the fair and the editors
of the state were treated to full day
of sight seeing and good times. Moth
ing was too good for the press boys and
everything in the way of shows, side
shows, etc, were free to the quill
drivers with special attendants to go
around and see that you got every
courtesy possible on the grounds. The
Fargo fair managers appreciate all the
good advertising received from the
boys and thought they would recipro-

certainly help out the state fair better
than ever.
