ACTIVE PREPARATIONS IN ALL DE
PARTMENTs GOING ON.
The Athletic Field Day Will Be q
Notwithstanding About Liberatrs
Great Band.

He FaVllion presented an animated
scene yesterday.
A veritable army Of carpenters, painters
and decorators were running about, ham
mers and saws in hand, and the din wa.
deafening.
The exhibits are being rapidly put in
place. and judging from appearances yes.
terday the Pavilion this year will present q
grander spectacle than ever before. The
art display will also sarpass any previous
efforts.
MUSICAL TREAT.
The feature of the Pavilion show this
year will without doubt be- the music. The
Directors, at heavy expense, sue
eeeded in securing Signor Liberati's
famous military band of New York. An
idea of what this band is may be obtained
from the following, which appeared in the
Quebec Chronicle during Liberati's recent
Canadian tour:
the kind was ever enjoyed by Quebecers
than that accorded last night at the Acad-
emy of Music bv the performances of Lib
question which is most worthy of admi-
ration-the critical taste responsible for
the selection of the pieces of SO admirably
balanced whole, or the ability and labor
displayed in bringing the constituent ele-
ments of the organization into so perfect
an ensemble. The merging process has
been so thoroughly followed up and all its
details so splendidly mastered, that the
fusion is perfect; and Slgnor Liberati, with
a simple movement of his baton, welos so
completely into one harmonious whole the
immense variety OF instruments used by
the band-piccolo, flute, oboes. clarion ettis
saxaphones. trombones, horns, drums, etc i,
that the fifty performers composing it are
as completely a unit in point of united
execution as the organist who manipulates
at one and the same time his dulcina,
vox-humana, dispasons, flute, twelfth, fif-
teenth, cremona, hautboys, trumpets and
pedal pipes, as the case may be. This, of
course, is the acme of perfection in band,
and it has certainly been reached by Signor
Liberati and his fellow performers. There
was not poor item on the programme
last night"
AT THE PARK.
All is hustle and business, too. at the
Park. The entries for the races have here
tofore been published, and the public 10 no
doubt well aware that this will be "meet-
ing of the giants" so to speak. All the
racers who have been making the various
circuits of the State during the month will
concentrate at the State Fair races, and
there are many genuine flyers" among
them.
The ladies' tournament will be held on
Friday, the 18th, and Friday, the 10Th.
oh pri1oe IN tho orOnppt of 600 will ho
awarded-the first prize for lady being
$50, and the first prize for girl under 16
years being $50. An additional prize of
$50 will be awarded the most skillful and
expert horsewoman. AS horseback riding
has been very popular with ladies of this
section, there will doubtless be many en-
tries for the tournament.
There will be stock parades on Saturday,
September 18th; Thursday, September 18th,
and Saturday, September Goth.
