Sedalia's exposition fer 1881, TO ne III
augurated on Tuesday next, the 10Th inst,
promises to he the most complete exEib;-
ton in all of its departments OF any fair
which has ever been held in Central Mis-
souri or elsewhere i'm the state outside OF
ST. Louis or Kansas City. 1t has been the
custom to use up the greater part OF the
first day in completing the arrangements
for exhibits, and placing the various ar
ticies in position for inspection. This
year all the departments will be INFINITELY
completed on Monday, and the exposition
will open in its full course on Tuesday
morning. The managers wish il distinctly
understood that
THERE WILL BE NO DELAY,
and that every part Of the immense dis
play will he in full readiness for inspec-
iion by the public on that day.
That the first day will be the largest
success of the meeting is conceded 10y all,
Tor on Tuesday afternoon the great inter
state twenty mile race between Misses
Archer and Still is to I've run. and thou
sands Of visitors from Missouri and Kan
sas will he In attendance to witness il. The
result at Bismarck Grove, on Saturday
last, has worked the public up TO lever
heat. and all are anxious TO witness the
concluding race.
The trade of the city surely reflects
through its merchants the true feeling in
the country, and almost without exception
the feeling is one CT encouragement and
cheerfulness. Under such suspicious cir
cums,ances the exposition will
CERTAINLY RE 4 SI-CCE-S
The great thing Necessary is an exhihi-
ton which will be attractive. useful and
instructive, and this the managers have
certainly provided, as will thoroughly con
vince those who have witnessed the eXten-
sive preparations OF the grounds, and the
painstaking manner in which everything
has been arranged for the comfort and con-
venience OF the public. That the fair Will
he a success in point of exhibits is already
assured, as is indicated by the applications
for exhibit which are coming from ali
parts of the country.
The show of live stock will sUrpass any
which has yet been held in the city, and
will include choice stock from the famous
herds in this country. The sheep growers
will be fully represented, and this
RAPIDLY INCREASING INTEREST
will gain additional impetus from the COM
parison of notes and facts which farmers
will make. In the cattle, horse and mule
department full preparations have been
made, and the exhibit will be large and at
tractive.
In the display of agricultural imple-
ments the exposition Will he complete,
and certainly surpass anything Of the kind
vet attempted. Sedalia has become the
trade center of large territory in the i'm
plements OF hnsbandry, and tie advance
made in tool invention will be an extreme
ly interesting feature of the display.
On the grounds there will be displayed a
most interesting aggrega.i ion of blooded
animals, among which will be found
thoroughbred horses from all parts of the
Union. Horse men, recognizing the rapid
growth of the blooded stock interests in
this section OF the country, have not been
slow in taking the opportunity to
SHOW THEIR HORSES
to the best advantage. The horse interests
will not only exhibit the points of interest
in the pedigree of horses, but will make a
display of race horses which will be of
interest to those fond Of the entertainment
Of the speed courses.
The trotting races promise TO be ex-
citing beyond anything ever witnessed in
Central Missouri.
All the arrangements for the fair are
being satisfactorily completed, and it is
evident from information obtained from
the managers that the attendance at the
coming exposition will be immense The
interest taken at different points in the
success of the exhibit indicate that the
people are fully alive to the success OF
this fair, and are only anxious to second
all efforts on the part of the managers TO
make the effort grand success. A large
attendance will not only render the fair
additionally attractive, but will
INCREASE THE BENEFITS
by spreading new ideas among the people,
and thus render them still more
competent to combat with the difficulties
of trade and production in the
future. These annual displays form an
important item in the progress of the
country, and many people are able to date
their first success in new undertakings from
ideas which they have gained by looking
at the works of Others, and comparing
their own methods with those in vogue in
other parts of the country and working
under different circumstances.
Too much attention can not be given to
this exhibition, especially at this time,
when all the industries of the country are
being perfected and the trade and COM
merce of the nation is seeking and obtain
ing foothold in all parts of the world.

To give an idea of the extent of railroad
building in Mexico, it is said that over
