ing Cards for Big An
nual Event

in the version of the Fair Associ-
alton, be the crowning event in the
history of the association.
Every effort is now being made to
insure the success of the fair, and to
attain this end, special attractions OF
a first class variety, have been en-
gagged for this occasion.
All plans for the event are now
nearing completion, and a crew Of
men are now engaged putting the
grounds in condition to receive the
large crowds which are expected to
come to Sauk Centre during the
days of Sept, 14th, 18th, 18th and
18th.
Horsemen from all points of t. G
compass are clamoring for the notice
of the Big -Four Racing circuit, and
this event alone should be leading
attraction on every day of the fair
The evening entertainments, too
are of no small consequence, an.l
many Inquiries are being made as to
these events, alone. Stearns County
in inaugarating night programs, is
opening up an avenue of fair attrac-
tiveness heretofore overlooked, and
which, from the present outlook gives
every evidence of popularity. :.
The fireworks will be unusual and
of huge variety.
