A vast change has been made in the ap-
pesrance Of things at the fair grounds
since the last exhibition. The high board
fence now encloses much more land and in
the additional space stand all the buildings
which formerly occupied the center of the
grounds. thus entirely doing away with
the vexations and continual crossing of the
track ny vehicles bound to and from Flor
al Hall. A new Grand Stand, an imposing
structure with a capacity OF comfort
ably seating 100 people, is one Of the
most notable improvements. Under It is
the restaurant. this year in charge of the
ladies OF the Episcopal Church, to pay-
nent OF the debt of which the net earnings
will be applied. The stables tor cattle and
horses are TO the lett OF Floral Hall. which
stands itself little to the right OF the car
