The offices of the Great Northern Fair association have been moved from their headquarters in the Woodmen hall here to the agricultural building at the fair grounds to afford greater convenience, as a great many of the exhibits are already on the grounds, and others are coming in constantly, which of course makes frequent demand upon the officials. It. is said that so many of the exhibits and attractions are already on the grounds that should it be decided to open now a fair nearly as good as the average would be witnessed by visitors, all of which goes to show that the fair this year, if subsequent exhibits are as great, will be far beyond the average. There are a large number of heads of cattle, hogs, and other stock on the grounds, and several shows have pitched tfieir tents there. Among these are the Hawes & Bailey | shows, and a wild west show from a Cincinnati park, which are said to be unusually good. The fair this year gives promise of far exceeding those of former years.
