THE NEW ART HALL
Handsome and Spacious Structure
Erected at the Fair Grounds
During Past Summer.
Preparations Now Under Way to
Take This Years Fair Bigger
Than Ever Before, ....

There is no doubt but what the
best county fair in this section of
minnesota is the one staged at
Princeton annually by the Mile Laos
County Agricultural society, and
this years fair promises to eclipse
all others. Mile Laos county boasts
OF having the best arranged fair ex-
hlbition grounds of any rural county
in the state, and some marked i'm
provements have been made this
year under the direct supervision of
President Bryson. A handsome and
spacious new art hall has been
erected and it greatly improves the
appearance of the grounds. The
structure is composed of two wings,
one of which is "a feet by SO, and
the other "a by 40. It has SUBJ
stantial foundation, and a lasting
floor of cement. The east wing will
be used to display the various fancy
articles of sewing, and it is convent
emily arranged. The exhibits will be
shown off to advantage, and neat
iron ratings have been provided to
prevent visitors from soiling the ar
ticles exhibited. The superinten-
dents Office is in the east, right
hand corner of this wing also, and is
arranged with view to convenience.
Pay windows are provided, and those
in charge will undoubtedly appreci-
ate this feature. In the west wing
will be exhibited the various paint
ings, and there is ample room for a
neat and attractive display. A por-
tlon of this wing has been divided
into booths, where merchants can
exhibit their best lines.
A neat dwelling house has also
been erected near the entrance for the
care taker, and the grounds are ade-
quately protected.
The premium list is now in the
hands of the printer, and will soon
be ready for distribution. AS usual
generous provision has been made for
prize winners, and special prizes will
be given by the merchants of Prince
ton. Every farmer who can possibly
do so should place something on ex-
hibition.
The officers and directors Of the
association are sparing no efforts to
make the: fair this year a record
breaker in every respect-exhibits,
ATTENDANCE and amusement feat
ures-and there is no doubt but
what they will succeed.
Governor W. S. Hammond has
promised to visit the fair one day,
and deliver an address, and United
States Senator Knute Nelson will
also be here if it is possible for him
to do so.
A splendid program of races,
sports and ball games is being. ar
ranged, and this feature of the fair
will be more interesting and enter
tanning than ever. Daily airship
flights will also thrill and delight
the multitude.
A better baby contest will be one
Of the features of the fair this year,
and it will undoubtedly prove to be
interesting.
The Mile Laos County fair has
gone forward by leaps and bounds
the past few years, until itnow is in
a class by itself. The officers and
directors are certainly entitled to
praise for their successful admins
tration of the affairs of the society,
and President Bryson is particularly
entitled to credit. The twenty
fourth annual fair will be held Sep
TENDER Is to IS, inclusive, and it
will be some fair.
