SOUTH DAKOTA
STATE FAIR

Huron special: The State FAIR
Board is exerting itself to the utmost
to make the Fair of 1912 the greatest
in the west, and judging from the way
in which the work is shaping up these
expectations will be more than re-
allied. With attractions already Sc
cured and exhibition space already
demanded, the Board can now guar.
rantee that the coming South Dakota
State Fair will be the star attraction
of the west.
The aviation meet will far surpass
that of last year. Three different
types of aeroplanes, two biplanes,
Curtiss and Wright, and French
Newport monaplane, will pc in the
air simultaneously twice daily. This
will mean six flights each day under
an iron clad contract. The daring
work last year by the unfortunate
Cromwell Dixon called forth unani-
nous praise, but the flights Of this
year will be still greater and still
more amazing.
No other Fair of the country will
provide stronger speed program.

total of It's including the best racing
stock of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois. Oklahoma,
