No one will deny that the Minnesota State Fair snd Exposition, held annually on the fair grounds, between Minneapolis and St Paul, is the great- est thing of its kind on the globe. A number of other State fairs surpass Minnesota In some one department. Taken as a whole, however, tbe Gopher Institution Is admittedly the leader. In tbe matter of grounds, accommodation for vast multitudes, attendance, and the wide variety of Its educational and amusement feature*. It Is In a class by Itself. There sre several reason* why this Is true. Chief among them may be mentioned: First, the Minnesota State Fan- grounds con- tain approximately 800 acres of Isad, laid out and kept up ss a beautiful park. On thts great acreage there sre over 100 buildings, nnd a hun- dred thousand people can be comfortably enter- tained at one time. Second, the .fair grounds are located between Minneapolis and St. Paul, the civic giants of the Northwest. Six hundred thousand people live within a nve-cent-car-fare radius. The guests who assemble from eight States can all be hospitably housed In the cities and can reach the fair from their hotela for a nickel. Are these accommoda- tions equalled by any other fair? Third, tbe great attendance that comes from the populous territory surrounding makes It pos- sible to offer and pay the biggest premiums and to hire the most stupendous amurement features of any State fair. The rich prises and tbe adver- tising possibilities attract all the world's best exhibitors, snd the amusements inspire snd thrill and satisfy. People come and want to come again. Fourth, tbe managers know that this fair la the people's playground and school. They give the people a little of what they should have and a lot of what they want. They sugar-coat tbs education with play. Results follow, snd Minne- sota and her State fair progress together. Minnesota has not always bad a great State fair. In fact. It has only achieved Its special pre-eminence during the last decade. Prior to that It was a long, hard struggle. Tbe first meeting of the Minnesota Territorial Agricultural Society was held In St. Paul, Jaa. 4 and 5, 1854. The Minnesota State Agricultural Society, under the auspices of which Is held the Minnesota State Pair snd Exposition, was the out- growth of the Territorial Society, ami has seen many vicissitudes. For years the fair was bel.l in different cities of the State, bat in 1886 the present fair grounds were donated to the State by Ramsey County. From that time until the present, with tbe exception of 1883, when Min- nesota's attention was taken up by her exhibits at the World's Fair, at Chicago, there has been a fair each year and, generally ipeaklng, It has been a better fair each year. "Bigger and better than ever" Is a hackneyed phrase, but It seems to be tbe one that can be most appropriately applied to the Minnesota State Fair snd Exposition of 1913. Large plans have been Burely laid to bring this shout, nnd the man- agers of the world's biggest State fair insist tl«t nothing but bad weather during the week of Sept. 1 to 0 can prevent this year's snow from sur- passing. In every department. Its prediceisors and other such expositions In tbe United States, Even bad weather will not prevent the exhibition of educational feature* at Hamllne from being better than ever before, and with the exception of so'ne of tbe amusement features, everything will go on Jtist the same, no matter what the performances of the weather man may be. The Minnesota State Fslr list year offered more money In premiums than any other fair In the United States, and thts year the managers nsve Increased these offerings, making a grand total of 191,889. These liberal prlres, hung up In Mteen deparhments, Insure the appearance at the fair this year of championship exhibits in every line of work and play. In addition to the regular exhibits, there will be score* of practical working exhibit!, from wblch the TUltors can learn the operation of the latest Inventions, the most iclentffie methods of raising and handling live Mock, poultry, bees, etc., snd csn gain Instruction In sfl the matters thst make forming profitable. The managers are adding everything possible to make the State Fair what It shonld be—"the people's school for a week. The Second Annual State Pair Farm Boya' En- campmentwill be a big feature of the 1913 expo- sition. The managers will pay the expenses of one hundred and four farm boys. One will be selected by a local committee In each county of Ihe State, and two have been chosen by the mana- gers from each Congresslousl dlitrlct. These young agriculturist! will be entertained and In- structed during the entire week, and will go borne with new Information and Inspiration. As In all live schools, amosementi have a big Bhare In the Minnesota State Fair's et,ccees. Con- tract* are being made for the greatest list of en- tertainment features ever seen at ony fair In £"**!? .yKtoot exnggeretlon, It can be said that the fair-goer this year wil get five times tie amount of aniusemrnt for the money thtit he can swuojwbere else. Some of the headllners are: Twenty^even thousand five hundred dollars' worth of horse racing. Tbe fastest race bones from all over tho country will compete over the famous Hamllne track during the first five after- noons of fair week. In addition to the inces each *i t '**2P a * program will Include a large variety of high class vsndovllle numbers, plenty of good music, and exciting special track features. Saturday wm be Automobile Day. snd on tbnt Sn.U?* n H* !$*$ *•*»» of the smomoblle rncng world will he seen In competition and -x- 1.1b lions against the world's records. An effort la being made to secure all of the brightest star* In the racing firmament, and If present negotia- tions axe concluded, the list of entries will in- cline: Bob Burman. Joe Nlckreot, "Wild BID" Endlcort, Barney OldfleJd, Louis Dlsbrow, and o'tira nearly as famous. Each evening daring fair week there will be seen, la front of the grandstand, the world's greatest Pioneer Days' Show. This famous show. that has been successfully given at Cheyenne, Wyo., for several years, will be moved to the Minnesota State Fair grounds, and everything exciting nnd Instructive In the life of the "Wild West" will be vividly reproduced. The Cheyenne show, under tbe management of Charles Irwin, includes world's champions of all sorts, anions them being the holder of the world's rough-riding championship, champion woman troncho buster of the world, champion woman relay rider of the vrcrU, champion bull dogger of the world, champion steer roper, halt a dozen ex-world chnmpion ropers and riders, and the famous band of Indians. This exhibition will be given an appropriate frontier'days' setting In front of the mammoth amphitheatre, and every evening the performance will be concluded by tbe most elabo- rate display jf twentieth century fireworks ever seen In tbe Northwest. In tbe live stock pivlllon there will be held during the first four evenmgs of tbe fslr, s bril- liant borse abow, the program of which will in- clude regular horse show numbers snd special entertainment features. A special effort will he made this year to popularise the night bone sbow. and nothing will be left undone thst will add lo its value as an Instructive and Inspiring enter- tainment. Music of various kinds will be featured. Secre- tary Simpson Is a great believer la the enter- tainment value of high class music, and this year there will be at least five bands and, three orches- tras at work during the entire week. These organizations will be placed at points of vantage over the grounds, and the music lover will he given an unusual opportunity. Neither the music nor the educational program for the 1913 fair is completed aa yet, and the managers will continue to arid features that ap- peal to them, up to within a few weeks of the fair. They realise that If the Minnesota Ststo Fair I* to continue In Its leadership of tbeso great Institutions, It must be Increasingly instruct- ive, and they are determined to bring the coming fair as nearly as possible up to their Ideal.
