Agricultural Society to AS.
sist Citizens in Big
Celebration.
Ferdinand Crone has started . crew
of workmen on the repairs IT the Fair
Grounds made necessary by the fire
which destroyed the cattle sheds last
fall shortly after the close af the Fair.
At that time . blaze started, it was.
supposed, either by children playing
there or by the carelessness Of some
tramp, destroyed almost entirely the
wooden sheds which we're used to house
the cattle exhibits entered q the Fairs.
The loss was quite considerable one
inasmuch o the Society bad been hav-7
ing several rather bad years and it
looked % though the new grandstand
that had been planned for 20 long
would have to be deferred again inde-
finitely. However, the Society decided
after serious consideration Of ways
and means to tear down the S-foot
board fence that surrounds the north
east end Of the grounds and use the
lumber IN building sheds that will do
temporarily 80 % to escape any heavy
expense. thus making II possible still
to go ahead with plans for the grand
stand which 10 badly needed. Later
when funds are avaflshls permanent
housing for the animal exhibits Of the
fair will be provided.
Dates for this years tsir have been
decided upon and will fall the last
week 10 August, the 2stb, 10Th and
3oth. This will bring the attends nce
up because the dates do not follow or
conflict with State Fair dates. The
tNicollet County Fair dates are fixed
at September nth, 18th, and 18th and
those Of lie Sueur County for the three
days Immediately proceeding, both os
them coming the week following thu
State Fair. It 10 likely that the Man.
ksto Fair will be held the same week
as the st. Peter and LIE Sueur Fairs.
By arranging the Brown County Fair.
for the week preceding the State Fair
it is expected that tho management will
be able to arrange for better attrac-
tions in the line Of racing events and
other entertainment features, than If
the time we're set later and conhicted
with other fairs.
Plans are being made to secure some
of the best carnival attractions on the
road. The Society has decided to ex-
pend from $500. to 500. to secure
something that 10 really good and if
they fail it will be only because none
OF the best companies are touring this
part OF the state as it 10 impossible to
secure them for . single booking in
any one locality. The race events are
already being planned for. There will
be larger number Of local horses
than usual % several purchases have
recently been made BY New Ulm par
ties. DR.. vogel has . PAGER, Nugget
McGregor" and John schasfer . trot-
ter, Tramp. Joseph Bianchi will
enter his mare EDNA Parker aud he
has bought colt, "Bonhein, which,
however, be does not expect to enter
until older. "King Diilsrd" is still
owned BY Mr.. Huevelmsnn and willno
doubt be favorite Is before. AT the
present time there are three other rae
ing horses under the care of the
trainer, DOC" White, Riley b.
belonging TO u Mr.. Jensen of Mankato,
Minnesota Queen owned by Mr..
Botz Of Springfield and Nancy W."
belonging to MIR. Schauffmann at
st. James. II all OF these animals
take part in the racing events here it
will ensure some interesting moments
for the "sport Of kings".
The Agricultural Society expects to
take an active part in the preparation
for the Fourth Of July celebration thfs
year. They will cooperate with the
Citizens committee which, ID to- be ap-
pointed. Tho Board of Directors of
The Agricultural Society have been
designated BY President Cr0ne to have
The matter in charge. No definite
plans have yet been made but It Is
hoped to have attractions OF nature
similar to those given during the
Home Coming Celebration last sum-
mer, and use the fair grounds as was
done then.
