The amusement program started at 1:30 with horse races, which in- cluded a 2:25 pace and a 2:19 trot. The farmers’ horse race was also a feature attraction. The vaudeville acts were good, while the stunt fly- ing performed by the St. Paul Dis- patch Flying Circus was the big event. The wing walking and the parachute drop were well received. Auto polo also furnished a few thrills | for the spectators. The livestock pa-! rade and the football game were add- ed attractions. The Juvenile band played throughout the afternoon.

BARD PROGRAM AT FAIR ASSISTED BY OUTSIDERS The musical - attractions at the Northern Minnesota Fair have been greatly augmented by the assistance rendered by bands from outside towns. The Gonvick band was scheduled toj play at the fair Wed- nesday but on account of the weather and conditions of the roads caused by the rain, they were not able to be present. The Blackduck band p'l:\yod Thursday and gave a very creditable program. They were unstinted in their music and added much to the pro- gram. The Kelliher band was on hand Friday and like the Blackduck band did splendid service throughout the days Without these bands it would not have been possible to fur- nish music each morning, afternoon and evening of the fair. The Union Band furnished music each evening, giving a regular con- cert program, and playing for the var- jous vaudeville and styie show per- formances. The Juvenile band which has play- ed cach afternoon will also play at tonight’s performance. Many remarks havé: been heard from visitors commenting on the fact that such a variety of band music has been vrovided for all the days of the exhibition. It has added very mater- ially to the enjoyment of the fair visitors. for the grandstand being’ Legion will furnish pall-bearers and a firing squad, and all ex-service men in this community are urged to at- end.
