BOISE COUNTY DAY.
With three days set especially aside
for features of the Iuter-Moontain faiç
to be held iu this city next mouth, and
several other days which will be desig
nated for Boise, Cauyon, Elmore, Ada
and other counties, as well as "Baby
Day" the coming fair of the Inter
Mountain Fair association will be larger
and better than ever aud will assume
more the appearance of a state fair than
it ever has before.
Secretary Gibson states that the pros
pects at ttie present time never looked
brighter and that indications point to
the fact that there will be more people
in attendance this year thah last.
Derby Day.
The first of the three big days is to be
known as "Derby Day,' 1 when the great
race of the entire meet will be pulled off.
A large purse is offered the winner and
many of the fastest horses in the north
west will be entered. The race com
mittee has made arrangements to hold
their meet during the six days oi the
fair and four days afterwards, making
a 10-days meet in all. Entries are now
being made for this event and many of
the horses and time breakers that will
appear at Portland, Seattle, Spokane
and Walla Walla, will try for purses in
this city during the fair and four fol
lowing days.
"Oregon Day" will be the next of the
three big days set aside for the fair and
at this time many eastern Oregon
people from Ontario, Vale, Baker City,
Pendleton and other places will be in
attendance. Secretary Gibson states
that he has beeu iu correspondence and
working hand in hand with the Ontario
Commercial club, with the result that
that city will put forth every effort to
make "Oregon Day" a howling success.
Grand Parade.
The third big day falls on Thursday
and is to be known as "Odd Fellows
Day.'' At this time the grand lodge of
that order will be in session in this city
and it is expected that between 400 and
500 Odd Fellows will be in attendance.
The local orders will combine with the
fair association management to see that
the guests are properly entertained and
shown the time of their lives. On the
Wednesday evening before "Odd Fel
lows Day" the lmperior Order of Mus
kovites, a branch order of the Odd Fel
lows, will give a big parade in the city
with at least four hundred members in
attendance. They will endeavor to en
tertain the populace with their costumes
and various portrayals of characters
true to their order. It is expected that
this will be a grand spectacle.
County Days.
The counties named above are to be
especially honored with days during the
big fair and every effort will be made
to influence the residents of these
counties to be in Boise at that time.
Special transportation rates have been
obtained on all of the railroads which
means that the f.re to Boise from any
point within a reasonable distauce will
come within the reach of all. The vari
ous counties are planning on exhibits
at the fair and it is expected that this
feature alone will be an attraction. It
will be on a larger scale than ever before.
Fair Advertised.
Secretary Gibson stated today that he
has opened his campaign of abvertising
and publicity for the fair and that many
of the newspapers of the state are
carrying "ads" as well as writing up the
big six and ten-days event. Special
rates were given by the papers in the
state to the fair management, making it
possible to carry more advertising.
The advertising of the fair through bill
posting has been cut down this year,
the managment believing that it pays to
address the public through the news
papers. Considerable advertising is
being done through the medium of bill
boards, however, aud the display matter
for this arrived recently aud is being
put in place.
