SCHOOL DAY WILL
OPEN FAIR; FALLS
5000 SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL BE
GUESTS OF MONTANA FLOUR
MILLS COMPANY

The North Montana Fair grounds
at Great Falls will echo with childish
laughter throughout Monday, Aug
ust G.. This is the opening day of h
1884 exposition, and h Montana
Flour Mills company are being hosts
to as many of the 10000 school chill
dren in the Treasurebelt area as can
come to the fair hat day. Special
programs are being arranged for these
youthful visitors. and it is estimated
more thar $1,000 children will be in
attendance.
For the benefit of the regular fair
patrons and the adults who accompany
these children, the regular North Mon
tana fair schedule will of course be
presented. Exhibits will be in place;
community booths will be decorated;
the afternoon racing, rodeo, and at
tendance awarding program will be
given; the c~ircuS-carnival will be on
the midway; and the night show COM
plete with its musical presentation,
variety acts, and fireworks will play
before the grandstand.
The racing program alone at the 1884
North Montana fair will keep each af-
%ternoon's crowd highly enter Gained.
First there are the pari-mutuel horse
races with seven fast running events
every day. Then there will be profess
sional auto racing, with Is to ~ cars
participating, climaxed by a race be-
tween Sig Haugdahl and Gus Schrader
for the worlds dirt track championship.
And added to this program will be SEN
sational tractor races, in which Barney
Oldfield will be be seen driving his fam
GUS Allis- Chalmers air-tired farm trac-
tor in which he established a world rec
ord of 64.28 miles per hour.
Greater activity than ever is promised
in the rodeo arena with six carloads of
new stock imported for the regular
bronco riding; bulldogging and steer
riding events; to which has been added
something new-wild buffalo riding.
This last, experts say, is a real test OF a
cowboys ability to stay up.
In the evenings North Montana fair
visitors will witness the SHOW of the
Century," a production that comes to
Great Falls from the class A circuit
in Canada, and travels eastward to play
the 1onia, Mich, and the Minnesota
and Iowa state fairs. It is a tremend-
Gus musical spectacle, requiring a cast

stage effects. 1t is divided into six
major parts, each as large as the Or
binary presentation, SO that it is neces-
sary to double the size of the 1888 stage
to accommodate the actors and scenery.
Further brilliancy will be added to the
night grandstand show in the form of
extensive pyrotechnical displays pre-
sented by the engineers who handle the
fireworks for the Worlds fair in Chi
cago.
On Saturday evening a special thrill
night presentation will be given in front
of the grandstand. This will include a
blood-racing exhibition of b%ullfighting
as done by a troup of toreadors direct
from Mexico. A speeding motorcycle
will crash through a burning wall; and
two automobiles will meet in head-on
collision. It will be a night to be long
remembered by every witness at the
North Montana fair.
In addition to the regular features
of the North Montana fair, those in at
tendance will have an opportunity to
participate in the $1,000 attendance
premiums which will be awarded at
both the afternoon and evening grand
stand shows.
