State Fair.
To Editor of Glasgow Courier:
We left Glasgow Saturday evening
on No. 8. A number of school chill
dren were there to give US a sendoff.
At 2 O'Clock Sunday afternoon we ar
rived at Helena. Mrs. Young was at
the station and conducted us to our
sleeping quarters, which were of a
rather primitive sort, but with electric
lights and plenty Of straw. Fortu-
nately the situation was changed on
the following night to the good. The
first day of the fair was rather dull
on account of the rain. Several of US
boys went to Broadwater Plunge and
spent an enjoyable afternoon. 1t is
said that this natatorium is the larg-
est in the world. On the next day
we were shown over the ground by
Mr.. R. C. Cannon. The exhibits were
we'll arranged.
In the afternoon we were put in
the grandstand to watch the races.
One of the most interesting events
was the auto polo. The competitors
represented Canada and the United
States. At times the wheels became

veloping Nashua and the surround

turned, but as the ears we're stripped
and arched, none were injured.
We also visited the capitol where
Governor S. V. Stewart addressed US.
Tomorrow we will hear an address by
the president Of the fair board.
We expect to arrive in Glasgow on
Friday morning.
Yours truly,
