Displays of Stock Machinery, Agriculture, ETC.,
Exposition is All Set

of the fastest and most exciting ever
held in the city.
The Great international Show COM
pany. which furnishes the midway at
fractions. Is ready for the opening
performances at 2 O'Clock. The car
nival attractions are many and varied.
They include the usual ferris wheel
and merry-go-round, the wild animal
show, the mechanical 'tcrazy houses,"
and a motordrome for motorcycle
races.
Practically every exhibit was in ita
place when the gates opened this
morning. Several poultry and live
stock exhibits came in later, but for
the most part everything was in place.
The fair association has taken pre-.
cautions against congestion Of traffic
on the grounds. A special automobile
roadway has been constructed at tho
main entrance. so that the vehicles
can drive right up to the gate and de.
the grounds. Heretofore the autos,
and other rigs had to enter at thel
south gate and, then. go to the grand!
stand to deposit passengers. This al.
ways caused considerable congestion,
but this year it will be entirely done;
away with. The autos will not be
allowed in the grounds. unless they

grounds. The fair police foroe n am
pie for any protection. and the pre-.
cautions against fire are excellent.
Dive Stock Hummer.
The live stock departments this year
are almost phenomenal in size and
quality. All the old exhibitors are
back again with the addition Of a
large number Of new ones. Cattle oc-
cupy the big part OF the attention,
the judging Of which started this
morning. Every barn and shed Ii full.
and new barns and sheds have had
to be built to house the overflow Cat
.tle have crowded the poultry out Of
the barn usually occupied by them,
and beside that building a new shed
has been put up beside It Of about the
same dimensions. That has not been
finished yet but men were working on
it this morning. More than that. sheds
are being put UP behind the barns on
the south side Of the grounds. The
tense Is being used as one side Of 1t
and it runs along for some hundred
feet.
The quality Of the cattle shown this
year has never been surpassed at any
fair held in Grand Forks in the past.
One fact Is most noticeable in the
North Dakota stock, and that Is tho
additional number Of raisers exhibit
ing from this state and the better
quality that is being shown.
The hog pens on the west side Of
the grounds are full to overfiowing
and same is true Of them as is the case
with the cattle. I mother years this
building has housed some Of the
sheep, but they have been forced to
seek other places. An addition has
fn ha
the hog building and the Union Stock
Yards OF St: Paul has a tent with,
their stock in which includes a good
exhibit Of sheep. off by itself.
The poultry has been placed be-
side the building occupied by it in
former years and is in big tent The
exhibit is a. good one and more are
coming in during the day.
The exhibit of horses includes all
the we'll known breeders in this part

lsed to be with several new men
