Kansas Agricultural aud MechHRtc"i
Association.
Now that it hiss been definitely settled that
the next State Fair will be held in Leaven-
worth, the management of the Agricultural
and Mechanical Association are making pre-
variations t. tx up the grounds west of the
CITY, and furnish the State Society the most
ample and complete accommodations posi-.
bic, Floral Hail will be repaired III ugh
out and new roof put on the building. In
addition to the buildings already on the
ground, a new Implement Hall will be erect
ed somewhere in the vicinity OF the old one
New sheds and pens for stock will also be
built and the track pat in the best
possible connition. in order to make
these contemplated Improvements
the society will require considerable cum
of money, and the city council will probably
be called upon to appropriate 81 900 toward
the fixing up OF the grounds. This the city
can we'll aiI, ord to do, and We hope the sp-
preparation will Be made at an early day.
Our merchants ought also to interest them
selves in the efforts of the association to pro-
vide suitable recommendations for the State
FAIR. The benefits that will accrue to them
are almost incalcuIable. II the merchants o
Kansas City could afford to offer 81 900 70
the location of the State Fair in tie neigh
buring city of wyando:re, our merchants and
business men can surely afford to do a. much
when the fair is located in our very midst.
Let every encouragement, be accorded to the
association in their eudeavors to make the
coming Safe Fair the best ever held in Ken
sss.
