CUSTER COUNTY FAIR - HAS MANY ATTRACTIONS BROKEN BOW.

The fact that the race program this year Is a new de parture In that all races are In the run ning rJara. has evidently struck a popu lar chord. The purses are exceptionally large. As a matter of fact there Is more money going Into the Custer county run ning races than the state fair la offering In the same class. The outlook for fine exhibits of live stock and agriculture is particularly en couraglng and the management feels confident that an increased Interest ' being taken In the fair and that all of the departments will be splendidly rep resented. The ceremony of laying the corner- race course Is In better condition than any previous year. Several new con tracts have been aigned up featuring a number of attractions which will be entirely free.
