make good showing to the general public
this year of farm products, &C., and knowing
full well that the advantages offered by the
KANSAS CITY EXPOSITION are far superior to
that OF any other in the West, i thought that

exposition was progressing. The wonderful
strides of this city within the past year neces-
STATED the sale Of the old fair grounds, ard
new ones have been selected, located at the
corner of Nineteenth and Main streets, where
hundreds of workmen are now engaged in
completing the speed ring and erecting the
amphitheater and the various buildings de-
handed by the larger number of exhibitors
this year. Besides these i find that many
large exhibitors have arranged to erect their
own buildings. The admirable location of
the grounds and the universal sympathy the
citizens all seem to express are favorable in
dications of grand success. A new feature
land a good one, think) is the idea of ex-
hibitlng the fine arts and textile fabrics in the
new Emmons Block, n very large and elegant
tive-story building, located on the corner of
Ninth and Delaware streets, which will be
open to the public both day and night. APP

special premiums, outside of the regular pre-
MUM list, are being offered by enterprising
citizens, which are intended to make this ex-
position more novel and amusing than any
OF its predecessors. The ladies of the West
will have a chance to show their skill i'm rae

there will be SO many novel features intro
