FAIR NOTES.
In the premium department Of the Tex
as State Fair and Dallas E1posltis two
important changes nave been made. The
first Is the doing away with the 20 per
cent. discount, which WAS deducted from
premiums heretofore. This year alI
premiums WILDE psid In full SIS
per report Of awarding commit
tees. The ether Is in regard to
the ron competitive feature. Last year
half the amount Of premium was deduct
ed, in addition to the 20 per cent. dis
count, where there was no competition.
This season all non-competitiye awards
will be paid in fall the same as where
there is competition, but all entries must
be made previous to the opening of the
Fair and Exposition, and no entries will
be received after the Fair opens.
At the meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the fair directors held last Sat-
Urday it was decided to enlarge the new
machinery hall one-fourth It's present
size. This is necessitsted in order to
meet the constant demand for space.
The Dallas county exhibit building Is
going up and will soon be completed
The county enters the contest with other
counties in the state, and she should
endeavor to get up the best exhibit posi-
Ole, becau-e the competition is going to
be sharp and Dallas should maintain her
claims as the best agricultural county in
the state.
The colered people are taking an active
interest in the fair, and will have q fine
display Of all theiz resources, including
invention, educstion, art, etc.
