Tippecanoe County Fair At Lafayette Next Week.

Lafayette Journal. The formal opening of the fortyseventh annual fair of Tippecanoe county will be held Tuesday. The fair promises to be more interesting this year than ever before and special efforts have been made by the committee in charge to make it exceedingly attractive. Charles W. Travis and his assistants have nearly completed the arrangements and feel confident that the program will meet with universal favor. The grounds are in excellent condition and many improvements have been made. The principal buildings have been repainted-and new roofs have been put on many of them. The speedway is in fine condition and the fence surrounding it has been recently whitewashed. The speed events promise to be interesting and a fine exhibit of live stock is looked forward to. SIO,OOO will be awarded in cash premiums and purses. There will be the usual popcorn, peanut, crackerjack and red lemonade venders and the toy balloon man will also be in evidence. A fine line of high class shows will pitch their tents on the grounds and no questionable amusements will be allowed.
