FARMERS DAY BEST SO FAR

Con tinned From First Page,

the weather man has ordered a perfectnay, an immense attendance is guar-anteed. The people of St. Paul will provetheir interest in the fair by their gen-eral attendance. All the public businessc? the city will be suspended, the statecapitol will be closed, and business gen-erally will be shut down, so that all whodesire may have an opportunity to visitthe fair. The programme will be one ofthe very best of the week. A specialfeature will be the 2:13 pacing race, for

1which the business men of the city havecontributed a $5,000 purse. There will befifteen starters In this great event andit will be one «of. the best races ever wit-nessed at the fair.

Two hundred cowboys from the St. Paulstock yards will give an exhibition thatwill be well worth seeing. Allthe regularevents will be pulled oft.

St. Paul has always given the fair siloyal support. It is to be hoped thatevery citizen of St. Paul will take a per-sonal interest in today's exercises. St.Paul day can be made the banner dayof the fair and it should be. Let everyman, woman and child turn out and makethe day a hummer.

TRACK RECORD BROKEN

i!dive Makes a Mile in 1:45 LastNight.

The track record for one mile wasbroken in the mile running race lastnight. The winner of the race, Judge,made the double circuit In 1 minute 45seconds, which is the fastest time everr.iade on the track after dark.

The race was a pretty one, and Sena-tor, who finished second, ran a neck andneck race with the winner ail the wayround, and was only beaten out a halflength. Pryor, who finished fourth, gota bad start, but gave Major T a hardrace for third place. The third andfourth horses were outclassed by thewinners of first and second money.

Diamond took first in both heats of thehalf-mile running race. She was givena hard race in the first heat by T. J. andthe Abbess, who finished second andthird, respectively. The three horses werein a bunch all the way round the trackin the first heat, while Fred Gerkins, whofinished fourth, was not in the race atall. He. was left at the post in the sec-cr.d heat. The time was :52 and :52V2.The Judges, forgetting, no doubt, thatthe official programme does not contain jthe name of the entries In the evening,races, failed to announce the result ofthe second heat of the race, causing alight murmur of dissatisfaction, the

fist that has been heard in connection

with the races since the opening of thefair.

The bay team was again victorious inthe chariot race, winning out after run-ning at least three lengths behind thegrays for two-thirds of the distance.

In the Roman standing race, the riderof the bay team again made a mess of it.After about 300 feet had been run, heslipped stride of one of the horses, andlater he dismounted altogether, although

he remounted and finished the race.The riderless horse won a close race

from two other entries, one ridden by awoman and the other by a man.

Mr. Powell gave another exhibition ofhis saddle horse Rosebud, showing thefourteen different gaits in which thehorse travels. This was really marvelous,as the best of gait-ed horses are limitedto five different paces. Pain's spectacleand the specialty people were enthusias-tically received again. '""..'

FORTY-FIVE THOUSANDTHE - ATTENDANCE . YESTERDAY

BROKE ALLPAST RECORDS.

The biggest day. of the biggest fairever given in the state of Minnesota.Such was the record' made yesterday.The gate receipts amounted to $17,290.75,about $200 more than those of a yearago yesterday, which was State and Ter-ritorial day. That day broke all previousrecords, but yesterday capped the climaxin the matter of attendance.

These figures go to show that at least45,000 people visited the fair yesterday.The management is more than pleasedwith the liberal patronage that the'pub~lie has bestowed upon the fair and ispinning its faith to today to break allthe fair records ever made.

WORK AT MINNEAPOLIS GATE.

Pickpockets Active in Spite of Po-lice Officers.

• Pickpockets are plying their trade witha good deal of vigor at the state fairgrounds and complaints are being madedally to the police department.

Alexander Powell, of St. Paul Park,reported to the police that he was minusa draft • for $300, drawn by a bank atWhite Brookins, S. D., on a Chicagobank, and $90 in money. He say 3he wasrelieved of it at the Minneapolis gate.

W. W. Howard, of 94 East Fourthstreet, lost a pocketbook containing anindorsed check for $20.

W. G. Eddy, of Morristown, had $30taken from him and E. B. Levers, ofCcok county, was relieved of $10.

It is understood that a number ofpockets were picked at the Minneapolisgate "Wednesday night. : \u25a0\u25a0•< ••.-.

Pupils From Farlbault School SpendDay at the Fair.

About 100 pupils . from the school forthe feeble minded at Faribault vlsted thestate fair yesterday in company withtheir teachers. The party arrived in St.Paul yesterday morning on the Omaha.Each carried his or her luncheon arid theparty boarded two special cars, the girlsin one, the boys in the other, which tookthem to the fair grounds. They : arrivedthere about 12 o'clock and had luncheonon the grass near the main building. Theafternoon was devoted to "doing"-1 thedifferent buildings., Some of the pupilslooked all of forty years of age, othersapparently were not in their teens. Thefaces of nearly all, however, wofe theblank stare of babyhood. Those exhibitsthat showed combinations of brilliantcolor attracted them most. In the horti>cultural!building.they lingered in delight-before the round tower made of applesof: all jhues from the vmost violent 1 greento the ruddiest red. The odd arrange-ment of the grains in the agriculturalbuilding also held their attention for: a>brief while. But it was the outdoorsights, the fascinating revolutions of. th©Ferris wheel, the noisy tumult of thoMidway; \u25a0 the music' and the crowd thatsucceeded in drawing some,semblance ofan expression to the faces of even th*-feeblest' minded. . .•;- A few of the more intelligent were able,to take In something of: the .meaning ofthe explanations so painstakingly madeto them by their guides.. \u25a0;.' r "'.

Genuine interest .was manifested iby . theentire party when they stood before theirown exhibit; in, the federation building.-This exhibit;- though small, would -docredit to workers in possession of all of

-their, senses. -\u25a0 One of the girlsirecognizedher own work in a dainty wfcite; baby'»

dress and she gave little exclamations ofdelight at seeing it in the glass case.Some pieces of sloyd woflc, done by theboys, were also recognized and pointedout with pride by their owners.

Before its departure late in the after-. noon the school managed to mix somesocial pleasure with the mental improve-ment part of the trip. Soft drinks weresampled, peanuts were indulged in andthe school listened with evident pleasureto some of the outdoor oonoerts that ad-vertise the Midway.

WOMEN TURN OUT IN FORCE!.

Headquarters • at Fair Ground*Crowded AH Day.

The attendance yesterday at the Fed-erated Headquarters of Woman's clubssurpassed in numbers that of anyprevious day at the fair.

THRONGS ATTHE RACESGRAND STAND COULD NOT ACCOM-

MODATE IMMENSE CROWD.

The races entertained another immensecrowd of spectators at the state fairgrounds yesterday afternoon. People over-flowed the grand stand, while anotherlarge throng stationed itself on the hill-

1

side overlooking the track just northof the clubhouse, if the fair managershad put up an addition to the grandstand, as they were urged to do afterlast year's similar experience, it is cer-tain that it would have been more thanpaid for from the sale of seats beforethree days of the fair were over. Thereis a need^ of more ushers in -the : grandstand to *see that the people are morecompactly seated, as yesterday.-, therewere many seats \u25a0 vacant in the centersections, jwhile the Laisles were crowded,and many were compelled to"stand. ' Inview of the big attendance yesterday,the fact should not be overlooked thatwith -proper attention" to seating of thespectators some hundreds more can "be 'accommodated in the grand stand thanhave been on any previous , day of,' themeeting.' *.-\u25a0'' \u25a0....\u25a0i;>V-.

NOTE.S OX WOMEN'S WORK.

Miss F.lizabeth Liscom and Miss Mar-tha Scott Anderson, of Minneapolis,presented the subject, "Woman's Fit-ness for Business,;' yesterday morning'before some fifty women at the federa-tion headquaraters on., the fair grounds.Mrs. Chester G. Higbec gave a shorttalk on "Philantrophy.; 1 Miss Shepherd,of the domestic ...science department,showed various waap of cooking palata-ble dishes for working.,people.

Today will be St. Paul day in thefederated clubs' headquarters, a;? well

(as In odher places on the fatr grounds.Mrs. W. H. Graves will be the chair-man of the reception committus, and theSchubert club will present the musicalprogramme.

Six young- women from the dairy schoolof tihs state agricultural college, who

conduct a model farm dairy on the statefair grounds, attract considerable atten-tion because of their deft work. Theyoung women know all about buttermaking, and proved their knowledge daily,ior the butter is made while visitorswait. This exhibition of butter n-akingseems to possess strong attraction, notonly for the famrers' wives, but for thefarmers themselves.

Some bold, bad men went through Restcottage, the W. C. T. U. headquarters,Wednesday night. The pile of *.ractawhich ornament the table on the wideporch was ignored, the ico water kegwas unmolested,' but the bedding wasstolen from two cots in the roar roomof the building. It is thought by the W.C. T. U. women that the bedding' waswhat the burglars were after, because itwould be absurd to think that even thedullest burglar would expect to findpofthly treasure in the tiny cottagewhich is only used during stato fair

wc-ek. A broken bolt on the only en-trance door told how tihe thieves hadmade an entrance.
