WELLINGTON NOTES.

Mr.. ii. b. Williams, superintendent OF
the Sumner County Agricultural and Ne
chanical association, and one OF the larg-
est stock raisers and farmers in Sumner
county, is in the city to-day commencing
his fall work on the preparation OF the
ground before the fair commences, Sep
TENDER II, Is, 10, and 20. 1t was my rood
fortune to see him to-day, and learn his
plans, which are ahcG: as follows:
ave will build an amphitheatre, that
will be sheltered with a single roof, and
seat 200 people. Under the seats will be
ten closed booths similar to those at Kan
sas City and st. Louis. An additional
wing, 2Ox70 feet will be added to Floral
hall. Twenty additional horse stalls,
making one hundred in all will be built.
The cattle stalls will be remodeled and made
superior to any in the state without eXcep-
ton. The number Of hog and sheep pens
which is already large will be doubled.
The race track which is now conceded to
be the best half mile track in Kansas, will
be put in perfect order. The track will be
entirely fenced. and from the amphitheater
every inch of any race can DC seen by the
spectators without raising from their seats.
This fall il is our intention To make the
Sumner county tair second to no county Or
ganiZation in the state. While it may not
pay us for the outlay at present, we are not
afraid to risk our money in an enterprise
that will surely pay in the near future"
