Every dealer IN the StdIe anu o'oly
travelling man has been personally
notified that they are to be at Bis
marck today. Incoming trains yester-
day afternoon and evening were
packed and the late.comers were COM
pelled to accept cots and similar ac-
commodations in the hotels, because
although SBismarck's hotel facilities
are much above the average city OF
it's size, it was yet unable to accom-
modate the Exposition visitors.
If the citizens of Bismarck do their
share today and unite their forces
with the people from outside, the city
and the management fully expects
that they will, nothing can prevent a
dramatic success which will be talk
ed about for weeks to come all over
the state and the Northwest.
Kangaroo Court All Day.
The day will open with registration
at Z q. m. by the travelling men. They
will be given their uniforms and
their places. In the parade. E
: The kangaroo court will sit from

during the afternoon parade. The

20 to the fund for sanitary bubble
fountains which are to be placed on
the city streets by the Elks and the
travelling men.

Great Eree!for.kil Auto Race.
The next event of unusual interest
will be the great free.for-all automoI
bile race over the loop southeast of
Bismarck. A Buick six won the first
race, in which entry was limited to
cars OF less than $50 cubic inches dis
placement, in the remarkable time Of
26A minutes for the 1914 miles.
Racers to Enter Contest.
Cars built especially for racing are
among the entries and the drivers do
not intend to let, the Tuesday record
made by the Buick stand. The road
is in better condition today and with
the greater power of the cars it is
possible that the entire distance may
be made at mile-a-minute clip.
Fast Records Big Surprise.
When one considers that there are
five railroad crossings and many
sharp curves, with numerous little
hills and the long Faulkner's thrown
in to make fast driving difficult, the
records that the cars are making is
wonderful. They are bigger sur
prise to the automobile men than any
one else.
Last Tuesday the roadside was al
most continuous line of cars, All
indications point to better showing
today and those who are not on hand
at the opening will probably find it
difficult to squeeze in among the 9TH
er spectators cars.
