Hunter Herald: The writer returned
Monday morning after footing a banc
instrument all week in the state fail
band under the magic baton Of thu
genial DR.. Putnam. The band seemed
TO meet the approval of the visitor:
who had only words of praise for 1t
the fair management are to be con
graduated upon the success of the
fair this year in every department. Thr
Elusive skin" games which are sc
prominent with large fairs were notice
able by their absence and the enter
tainment provided was beyond criti-
cism.s The weather during the week
was Ideal and no accident happened tc
mar the pleasure Of visitor or partici-
pant.
Litchville Bulletin: Several parties
from this city who attended the state
fair last week dubbed 1t the Fargo
Fake Fair and we are almost inclined
to coincide with this view. While on
the grounds last Friday the writer saw
more fake shows, more fake gambling
devices and more fake beggars to the
square inch than at any other fair OF
Q similar nature that we can remember
Rugby Tribune: The state fair al
Fargo has been pronounced as a splen-
did success. While the people Of both
! Grand Forks and Fargo regret that the
state fair is on wheels being held alter
+, nately each year in each city, 1t is
nevertheless source of satisfaction to
the people Of the state outside these
two cities to see them act in the mat
ter in sort of brotherly and sisterly
manner.
Bismarck Palladium: The Fargo
state fair ended last Saturday in a
blaze of glory and enthusiasm, with the
largest attendance ever secured in one
day at any similar function within the
state. The feature Of the last day was
the sham fight and review of the state
troops by Governor Burke and staff.
Page Records The state fair held
last week at Fargo is receiving much
favorable comment from the press of
the state. Large crowds attended each
day and all were royalty entertained
both by the people of the city and by
the management of the fair.
Edgeley Mail: Fargo has good rea-
son to be proud OF her state fair this
year. The exhibits were good and the
possible manner.
WheatIand News: The concensus of
the Wheatland people who took in the
fair at Fargo last week. is that the
state fair was bigger and better than
at any previous year.
Lisbon Free Press: The scribe at
tended the state fair at Fargo on We'd
nesday of last week, which was styled
press and old settlers day. About
twenty scrfbes, some adorned with
wives, greeted w. A. Scott, chairman
Of the executive committee, ana were
the guests of the state fair ASSOCIATE
during the day. Scott is a good chap
erone or guide, leading the bunch to
q choice place in the grand sraLd,
where the races and specialties could
be viewed to advantage. The races
were excellent AID close, especially the
1870 pace and the trot, which created
considerable enthusiasm in the closely
packed grand stand. The family Of
acrobats and tumblers were the best
ever; the elephants and trick mules
were unexcelled; the high diver good
and the platoon of trained horses were
drilled to perfection.
At noon, and again in the evening,
the bunch were dined at Prizes cafe on
the grounds. Many took in the side
slows and the Patterson exhibits.
The merchants pavilion and the live
animal zoo were splendid attractions.
The poultry exhibit was the best ever,
many new breeds being shown, and
much interest and sharp competition
for prizes were evidenced. The cattle
and horse, as well as machinery ex-
hibits were good and showed great
enterprise on the part of the partici-
pants. In the main headquarters, the
agricultural college had fine display.
interesting and instructive to all, es-
pecially so the domestic science exhibit.
In addition to this, the state library
commission displayed an attractive
array of choice reading, and q strong
effort is being made by Mrs. Budlong
to place the travelling sets in all parts
of the state. Fargo college and state
university also had fine educational
exhibits. The working model OF the
battleship North Dakota was a great
center of attraction. This was sent by
the navy department in response to u
request made by Congressman Hanna.
