One of the innovations in arrange- ments this year is regarding advance programs being mailed free to those who make request. So many com- plaints have been received by the managers of the great Minnesota State Fair that it is impossible to see all the attractions in one week. It was decided at a meeting of the State Fair board, held at Secretary Cosgrove’s office on the fair grounds recently, that' a copy of the official program should be mailed to anyone who might request it, freé of charge, at any time previous to August 20th. Many visitors complain that had they known certain attractions and exhib- its were to be seen, they would not the missed them. The program will | For Sale.

Many thousands of dollars have been expended during the sum- mer in grading, planting trees, flowers and shrubs, and it will be but a short time until the state fair grounds will closely rival many of the city parks. After an expenditure of oyer twenty- five thousand dollars in raising and grading the mile track on the state fair grounds the management is satis- fied that the fair has the fastest mile track of the regulation type in the world. Through the courtesy of Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs, F. E. Leupp at Washington, permission has been granted the board of managers to briog a band of 300 Wahpeton Sioux from the Sisseton reservation im South Dakota to the fair.
