Percy Robinson, chairman of the
Standardization Community Fair en-
tertainment committee, has arranged
an excellent program for the fair. The
program is well balanced with some
thing to interest both the young and
the former young. 1t consists of
speeches, music, a parade, sports for
all, merry-go-round, motion pictures,
and dance.
The parade committee, consisting of
Jack Nelson and Lloyd L. wye, have
been working hard to perfect the or
ganization for what they hope will
surpass even the Sandstone parades
of old. The parade is to commence
at 10 a. m. Saturday, led by the Sand
stone band. Over twenty Sandstone
business concerns will have floats in
the big affair and Askov may also be
represented
Parade Course Given
The course of the parade as an
nounced by Jack Nelson is as follows:
Start at village hall, parade East
down Fourth st. to SANDWICHES cor
ner, north on Court Ave. to North of
School house, west on Sixth ST. to
Main Ave-, south on Main Ave. to
Madison's corner, east on First st. to
Commercial Ave., north on CONNER
cial to school house. All persons in
tending to enter floats in the parade
are requested by Mr.. Nelson to be on
hand at $3.50 at the village hall, so as
the parade can start promptly at 10.
Following the parade, ball game
will be played on the Sandstone ball
grounds. AskOv was contemplating
locking horns with the Sandstone nine
but as they have an important game
with Sturgeon Lake Sunday, decided
not to play, so Manager Oscar Carlson
of the Sandstone team, which is at
present leading the Pine County
League, is angling with the Mime
sofa Power and Light Co. ball team
of Cloquet, for fracas on Saturday
morning. ... ,..
G. N. Quartette to Sing
The next part of the entertainment
program set for 1 p. m, will be con-
Quoted in front of the Sandstone
school and is to be music and few
speeches. The fair was very fortunate
in being able to secure the Great
Northern Quartet, which made such
hit at the dedication program of the
American Publishing Co., at Askov,
recently, to furnish music for the
occasion. This quartet is very popu-
lar and undoubtedly. will be the high
light on the fairs entertainment pro-
gram.
The speakers who are to appear are
J. H. Hay, of the State Department of
Agriculture, st. Paul; G. G. Goodwin,
congressman from this district, and
Mr.. Flynn of the Great Northern rail-
way.
Motion pictures will be shown both
in the afternoon and evening in the
New Theater. The Merry-go-round
will run Friday and Saturday.
Street sports are scheduled for
2:30 on Main st. between Klinker's
drug store and Hawley's store. The
order of the events follows: 100 yard
dashes for boys under IL, girls under
IL, boys under 16, girls under 16, 200
yard dash, free for all, sack race,
boys and girls under 8, three-legged
race, free for all, potato race for boys
under IL, cracker eating contest, tug
of-war between the Askov and Sand
stone men. Twenty-eight dollars in
prizes is offered for these various
events.
At p. M, the drawing for the Hol-
stein bull calf will take place, on the
steps of the Masonic temple.
Trap Shooting Feature
The trap shooting contest is set for
1870 on the Sandstone ball grounds.
The prizes are five dollars for first
and three for second. Mr.. Robinson
expects about twenty entrants for this
event. Some lively shooting may be
counted upon as some sharp shooters
have killed as many as twenty
three of the twenty-five pigeons"
shot at. This event will climax the
sport program and will be we'll worth
seeing.
The entertainment program and the
fair will close with the dance spon-
sored by the Sandstone base ball club
in the village hall, which is billed
to start at $50. A pleasant evening
lis assured as Thorne's noted orches-
ira is to furnish the music. All are
