DAY MORNING; GRANDSTAND
CAPACITY INCREASED.
The Redwood County fair of 1924
will open next Monday, September
22nd, under conditions which promise
that the fair will be the equal at
least of any of the very successful
fairs held here in the past. Entries
in the stock and swine classes are
practically all in and denote big ex-
hibits in these lines. While other en-
tries are not made until later the in
terest has already become apparent
and the classes will undoubtedly be
well filled. Buildings and grounds
are being put in order and all other
details looked after by President f.
G. Hubbard and his co-workers.
More Grandstand.
The seating capacity of the grand
stand has been materially increased
during the last few weeks. The old
bleachers at the west end of the
grandstand proper have been covered
and are now protected from sun or
rain. The addition Of sbleachers at
the east end of the grandstand has
been made, these being so placed as
to permit splendid view of the home
stretch of the track. The old grand
stand has been divided into seats
which will be reserved at charge of
fifty cents for the afternoon racing
program and thirty-five cents for the
evening shows Seats in the new
grandstand (the old bleachers) at the
west may be obtained for thirty-five
cents for the afternoons and twenty
five for the evenings Seats in the
bleachers may be bought for twenty
five cents. A ticket office for the
sale of grandstand tickets will be
erected on the Pike and tickets may
be purchased in advance, thus obviat-
ing the necessity Of people coming to
the grandstand hours before a pro-
gram opens in order to obtain seat.

The number of entries in the Here
ford class is disappointingly small
but recent letter states that a
splendid herd from this breed is COM
ing from Lone Rock, Iowa. and it is
probable that the entry blanks for
this herd like many others, are still
in the mails. The entries for cattle
and swine closed Monday night and
it is quite certain not all of those
mailed have yet reached Mr.. Hauck
