Geo. Gano, the fastest harness PAGER
in the world, will go an exhobition
mile with a running pace maker at the
Stevens County Fair on Sept. 29th.
No small county fair ever before
offered such an attraction.
In speaking of the coming county
fair, Secretary Geo. W. Beise said =
There is no question but that the
Stevens County Fair will this year be
of a high class order. A glance at
the programme of amusements. and
entertainment features will convince
anyone that there will be ample to go
around: in fact it would seem that
there will not be a dull moment from
the opening of the second day until
the close of the third day. The first
day, as usual, will be devoted to MAX
ing entries. By the way, every ex-
hibitor should remember that this year
no charges will be made for making
entries. Heretofore, it was custom
ary to charge SO cents for each entry
of live stock, and from 10 to 25 cents
for making entries in other depart
ments. This has been abolished, and
entries are now made free. This
should be an inducement for exhibi-
tors to make more entries. Exhibit.
ors should also remember to make
their entries on or before the first
day.
''On the second day the fair will
really open. For this day very full
programme has been prepared. The
races scheduled are a 2 20 pace and
2:15 trot or pace, and the purses
for each race are 100000. On this
day the Western Minnesota Firemens
Association Tournament will be held
on the fair grounds. This will con.
sist of races, contests, etc., and is a
feature we'll worth seeing.
"The free attractions, consisting of
Webb's trained seals, and acrobatic
stunts will entertain in front of the
grand stand. The Morris Band will
furnish the music. On this day, too,
will be seen something rarely seen at
a small fair, namely. the exhibition
mile run by the fastest harness PAGER
in the world. Geo. Gano, owned by
M. w. Savage. Gano will 60 with
running pace-maker. Surely every
lover of horses will want to see this
horse, and the event is one which
would attract a crowd at the State
Fair, to say nothing of County
Fair. There will be other tent
shows and amusements. so that every
one should have sufficient to make
very full day of it.
"On the third day the following
races are scheduled. 2:3O trot or pace,
and 2:10 pace. These are fast races,
and the purses are $500. 90 for each
race. Geo. Gano will be exhibited
on the track; the same free attrac.
tions as are scheda4ed for the second
day, and the Chokio Band will furnish
the music.
