With three aeroplane flights, auto
mobile races, motorcycle races, the
sells-Floto circus, the Kline shows
and with every exhibit and every
mercantile display. the North Dakota
state fair is today seeing such a
"last day" as it has never before ex-
perienced. The complete change in
the daily program, made today, was
responsible for the fact that there
was tremendous influx of new peo-
pie to the fai rgrounds, and for the
further fact that the fair closes today
In manner that has never before
been equalled.
Crowned with success throughout
the week, blessed with the best Of
weather, favored in every detail by
elements which enter into the making
up Of an excellent fair, the North Da-
kota exposition which will be formal
ly declared at an end tonight at II
o'clock has been everything that was
hoped for. 1t has been success in
every sense Of the word. The great
crowds have been delighted, exhibit
ors are going home enthusiastic over
the splendid treatment they have re-
ceived, while the business Arms which
have displayed their goods In an att
tractive manner declare that they. are
coming again.
Last nay Prog4sm Big
Today's, program Is q big one, and
long before O'clock the hour set
for the opening of the automobile day
program, the stands were crowded
and there were q large number
or others along the fences. The
events of the day are all big ones
and served to keep the crowds en-
tertained for several hours.
Tonight there will be an equally big
time at the fair, as the midway at
fractions will all be in progress, while
the Sells-Floto circus will also add
materially to the fun.
Admittance tonight to the grounds
will be free to all and that fact
should result in making the midway
attractions and the circus both reap
ers of big harvests.
All Officers Pleased
Officers Of the fair association are
all immensely well pleased at the
success Of the fair. The week has
seen sn average attendance that has
been higher than that experienced by
any other fair ever held in the state;
the exhibits have been more COM
plete and more general than ever be-
fore; the programs that have been
carried out each day have been more
extensive and more entertaining than
any offered in the past.
Aviation, the feature of the fair,
has been responsible for the bring
ing of large crowds. Parmalee, in his
Wright biplane, and McGoey in the
Kenwor.hy-Mc Goey biplane, both have
given exhibitions that have been real
thrillers In every sense of the word
Secretary NJ. G. Bacheller of the
fair association had an opportunity
O. riding with Parnalee last night,
and the trip evidently pleased that
official immensely.
Mccoy, too. made q great flight
ceiving q great ovation from the
crowds.
Fireworks q Feature
Friday evening the fireworks were
q feature Of the program, closing the
performance. Immediately after the
fireworks. which proved very success
full, midway became the scene Of
amusement, but light rain, driven
by heavy wind, caused a sudden
closing Of the majority OF the attrac-
tions.
Made Double Flight
Parmalee made two flights early
this afternoon. The first took place
tust few minutes after Q o'clock and
the second was made shortly after
wards.
Probably the most daring exhibition
given by Parmalee was yesterday aft
ernoon when he went up in decided
" stin wind. The wind was much
stronger tina nit was Wednesday,
when Parmalee also made q great
flight in q high wind. s. 5i
McGoey Made Good

flight last evening. He sailed away
from in front Of the grand stand and
