Astonishing List of
Attractions for the
N. Dakota State Fair
Biggest and Most Entertaining Bunch Of Free Attraction
Ever Brought Together in an Outdoor
Exhibition in the State

fair by Gift Line last year Hollywood
Boy and Lady Maud C will be driven
double to establish the pole team rec
ord for the state. All of these will be
events that will attract the attention
of every person and has already
created a vast amount Of enthusiasm
for the coming fair.
Every Day and Every Night a Big One
In arranging for this fair the asso-
citation has made every effort to make
each day a big one. No single day
will be. emphasized at the expense of
the others. Monday will be as big as
any day. 1t being considered policy to
give the first visitors complete fair
so that they would have a chance to
advertise the matter among their
friends.a No matter what day a person
comes to the fair he will find that it
will be finished and complete one.
The North Dakota National guard
will in all likelihood be encamped at
the fair grounds and will give reviews,
parades and sham battles The regi-
ment will be en- route to Sparta, Wis,
to attend the maneuvers and will prob
ably be here on Saturday, the last day
of the exposition Both the governor
and Adj. Gen. A. p. Peake have ex-
pressed a desire to have the troops mo-
bilize here and there is no doubt but
that they will so arrange the matter.
This would be great attraction as the
people of the state have had very little
opportunity in the past to see North
| Dakota's splendid regiment as n whole
owing to the fact that the wi ie:y sep
arated companies seldom get together
as regiment.
The Races Will Be Good.
The races, that will be pulled eft
every afternoon during the fair, with
the exception of Monday, will be very
classy events. The races at a fair al
ways play an important part IN the
entertainment programme AMI there
will be nothing lacking in this line at
the state fair this year. The stake
races, entries for which closed on May
| Is, were we'll filed and already there
are number of entries made for the
class races, which will close on July 12.
| In the way of exhibits the best ever
seen in the state will be presented at
the exhibition. The association took
particular pains with the premium list
this year and the prizes offered are
exceptionally large. This ossures the
showing of the best that is to be held
in the state and in Clay coT7ty, Mime
sofa, which is allowed the same privi-
| lege in competition and any part
North Dakota. The association, has
been complimented on it's premium list
by exhibitors, showing conclus;veiy
that it meets with their approval.
There Is only one thing that is CIV
| ing the association officers any trouble
in this line and that is to supply enough
space to accommodate all those who
have exhibits to show. The machinery
department has practically been flled
at the present time. This means thu.
there will be about twelve acres COW
cred thickly with the latest improve
ments in implements and machinery OF
various kinds. ~
The Special Train Service.
The officials of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads have been
working on the special train service
for some time and it has been decided
by them to put on a much larger SER
vice than has ever before been at
tempted. On the Northern Pacific
railroad daily special service from
Tuesday to Saturday, inclusive, will be
| instituted from Edgeley to Fargo and
return on the southwestern branch.
Two days of special service will be in
augurated on the Casselton branch and
the main line regular trains will be
supplied with extra equipment and
special service. On the Aneta, Crooks
ton and other branches of the Great
Northern running into Fargo special
service will be put on during the fair
and the main line trains given special
equipment. The schedule of these
trains has not yet been definitely de-
cided on, but will be advertised later.
