frock are delighted at the prospects for
the big North Dakota state fair which
Will take place in this city the week
OF July rs. Everything is ready and
the details are all completed for Civ
| ing the biggest and best exhibition that
North Dakota has ever known.
If one was to ask what is to be the
biggest free attraction at the fair out
side of the fastest PAGERS In the world.
the of1cials would doubtless say that
the ten acting snow white stations are
the greatest act. This troop of edu-
Gated horses was one of the features
Of the state fair at Syracuse, N. Y.
as 1t was also at the Minnesota state
fair last year, and the managers of the
Fargo state fair are more than pleased
TO be able to announce the appearance
OF the company in this city. These
beautiful creatures do almost every
thing but talk They march with mill
tary precision, forming in pairs. fours
and platoons, and as they come 20
wards the grandstand on their hind
feet they present an appearance that
will never be forgotten.
Immediately in front of the grand
stand has been erected a forty foot
STADIUM on which will be seen many
Tree exhibitions between the races and
at night. The six or eight acts that
have been selected by the fair manage
ment are of the highest class and in
Keeping with the balance of the big
show. The Patterson shows or carni-
val company will also give several free
acts, some of them so thrilling that
they alone are worth the price of adj
mission. The number Of concessions
let this year is about the same as in
previous years, so that the sound Of
the barker will be heard just as often
and as loudly as heretofore.
The four great pacing horses, the
fastest in the world, will give an ex-
hibition that will be well worth the
price of admission. Their exhibitor is
going to do his utmost to break some
worlds records during the stay of the
animals in this city.
The Battleship North Dakota.
One of the most interesting exhibits
that will be on the grounds will be the
twelve-foot model of the celebrated
North Dakota. 1t was OBJ
man Hanna from the United States
government. The fair people were
obliged to give a bond in the sum of |
$4,000 to insure the safe return of the |
model to the government.
Every gun is in place, every rope |
appears, just as they do on the great |
ship for which this state was named, |
and it doubtless will be one of the at |
fractions that will be most popular. |
lust where this will be placed is not |
yet known, but it will be given con-
spicuous position in one of the big |
The Farm Exhibits.
The exhibition of farm products nat |
lrally is the greatest thing at fair |
n North Dakota, and despite the dry
year the 1910 fair will be a leader in
his respect. The entries of fancy |
stock are the best that have ever been
made at fair in this state, and be-
'ides being interesting will be of great
value.
There is every reason for believing
hat the work of the ladies' will be
much in evidence this year, for the
premiums are even more liberal than
N previous years.
The purses for the races, too, are
most liberal, and it is believed that the
inest races ever seen on any fair
grounds in North Dakota will take
'lace here during the 1910 state fair.
, There will be ample accommodations
or those who desire to take their
meals on the grounds, for the big new
lining room is almost ready for occu-
'ancy. There will be three bands 20
urnish the music during the six days
4 the fair. The Patterson shows have
wo bands also. The Patterson shows !
re said to be the greatest aggregation
f attractions ever shown on any fair
rounds. There are eighteen shows in |
II under the management. i
