the round trip, and with others have bent
! their energies toward making the fair a
! big success numerically. The manage
ment will see TO it that it is a success in
other ways, while the products of the dis
! trict can make it wonder to all corners.
| The entry books for all classes of ex-
| hibits will be opened on Monday morning
next and it is desirable that all exhibits
! should attend to their entries at once. If
! this matter is neglected too long there will
! be some dissatisfaction about space. Al
! though the buildings are large and COM
! plete, every available space will be occu-
/ pied and only the most economical ar
rangement of this space vii. enable them
! to accommodate all
! The judges will be selected with a view
/ to getting experts in all classes and the
usual haphazard way of picking them up
on a moments notice and at random will
be avoided as much as possible.
No gambling of any kind is to be al
lowed on the grounds and all of the ar
rangements are such as to win the APPROX
al of all right minded people.
The electric cars will run to the main
entrance and the railway company guar
antees to have cars enough TO handle the
people with ease.
The Inconvenience heretofore experienced
in getting away from the grounds will be
obviated, and the patrons OF the fair will
be able to get pack and forth with comfort
and dispatch The run will be less than
twenty minutes, and the cars will be run
on two minutes time if necessary to avoid
overlooking.
One of the features of the fair not
already advertised viii be the military eX-
hibition. The Second regiment proposes
TO go into camp for the entire week, and
on Thursday night a camp fire with all its
novelty and sport will add to the attrac-
lions at the grounds. A sham battle will
also be fought on Thursday and the pre-
parations warrant the belief that it will be
a grand affair
\ regularly organized police force com
missioned by the police commissioner, will
preserve the best OF order and will contain
a sufficient number of men to guide and
direct visitors to any part of the grounds.
All of the bands in the city will be in at
tendance and several outside bands of note
viii also be present for the afternoon exer-
cises Most all OF the states will be repre-
scented by headquarters on the ground. and
one section of the fair will be miniature
city OF tents. Bunting and decorations of
all kinds will add 10 the gaiety of the
scene and it will be fete week indeed.
Arrangements are being perfected now
looking TO the running of special trains on
the different lines of railway, and as it
must be apparent TO all that the regular
trains can not begin to accommodate the
travel. it is TO be hoped that the trains
may be put on.
C. \. Phillips, who has just returned
from a trip through the southern portion
Of the state, reports everybody enthusiast
tic on the subject of the district fair. Many
people and excellent exhibits may be
looked for. Everyone seems to realize that
in order 10 successfully compete for any
one of the special premiums offered it will
absolutely necessary TO have the best, and
it is fair 10 presume that no exhibition can
possibly excel that of this district fair.
Mr. Joseph Thurman will endeavor TO
have one of the best displays Of fine draft
horses ever seen in any state, and Is work
ing among his competitors 70 have them
do the same thing. He says the fair this
fall promises TO be the greatest ever held. 4
and he should be a fair judge for be has
followed them through Kansas and the !
Eastern states for years
The special premiums are attracting gen: !
eral attention and are probably the most
tempting lot ever offerened at any fair.
