Old J. Pluv. has been very good to
our county fair so far.

The United States weather bureau
forecasts indicate that ideal weather
conditions will prevail during the
entire fair week.

The market gardens of Emil Mason
of Langdon and Jack Boldly of Mona,
furnish the larger and more choice
exhibit of vegetables at the fair this
year. The June 14th frost proved to
be a set back to garden truck that
knocked in the head all plans of a
record breaking display of vegetables
at this years fall fair.

Monday morning B. e. Groom
moved the down town office of the
Cavalier county fair association out to
the fair grounds, where with the
assistance of Mrs. j. j. Robson and
Jimmy Hamilton all the details as to
entries of exhibits and the letting of
concessions have been moving right
along with clock like precision.

Isaac S. Bette of Brandon, Man.,
came over from Hannah Tuesday in
company with Banker c. B. Mcmillan
and has had his whole time occupied
since the fair opened in judging the
fine exhibit of horses at the fair. Mr..
Beattie has been the official inspector
and Judge of horses for the province
of Manitoba for the past fifteen years.
~
S. j.. A. Boyd, field deputy of the
county superintendent of schools
office, has been here from Hannah
since Monday assisting in the arrang-
ing of the educational exhibit at the
fair. The exhibits m from the
pupils of the various schools through
out the county and this year is much
larger than in years heretofore.

There is a strong ace program, OF
both trotting and running events,
consisting Of four races each day OF
the fair for purses that aggregate
ST, 200. This feature is M that in
the eyes of many visitors is helping
to make this the best all around fair
Cavalier county has ever held. The
card of events for the two days follow:
Joseph Webster Of Sarles was on
hand Monday in readiness for the
opening of the fair. Mr.. Webster
has been superintendent of the horse
exhibit at the fair each year since its
first organization in '98. In Mr..
Webster's judgment the entries of
horses, live stock and farm products
when the fair opened Tuesday fore
noon was far larger than that of any
previous held in the county.

Both on the streets of the city and
over the road on which the round trip
is made to and from the fair grounds
the authorities are %impressing upon
the owners of automobiles that all
violators of the city's speed limit
ordinance will be promptly arrested.
With the crowd of people, such as we
have in town this week, no one but
can realize that the situation demands
a strict enforcement of the speed limit
ordinance in order to avoid accidents.

Both down town and on the fair
grounds or the opening day of the
fair visitors found themselves poster
ed with fake solicitors who offered
pocket books and fountain pens as
premiums given away for subscrip-
tions for a farm magazine. AS soon
as their method of operation was dis
covered by the authorities they were
ordered off the fair grounds and given
twenty-four hours in which to get out
of town.

number Of concessions on the fair
