In the central portion of the grounds,
north of the grand stand the association
has had enclosed semi-amphitheatre for
the display of live stock-heavy and fancy
horses and other animals that come within
that purview. Near this and to the west
is the poultry pavilion, the swine and
sheep pens, newly constructed and admir-
ably arranged for the display of these
classes to the best advantage.
The stalling capacity on the grounds is
fully double what it was last year, the as
ISOLATION having build as many as hun
dred new stalls. The stalls are nearly
every one engaged already, and the asso-
citation is expecting that twenty-five, and
perhaps fifty more stalls will have to be put
up today and Monday. A telegraphic order
for thirty stalls was received yesterday
from Williams Brothers for their herds of
blooded cattle. This department will be
worth journey of the state to see.
| And the horsesl Kansas has never had
such an aggregation of horse flesh of the
speedy sort as will be here drring the COM
ing week. The program of the racing
events gives a comprehensive idea of what
the array will be. Most of the horses are
here and comfortably quartered on the
grounds. The balance will be here by to-
morrow noon. 1t is a rare treat to be
shown these noble animals, many of them
with national records. and all pretty as
pictures and graceful as a fawn. The low
ers of the race cannot fail of full satisfac-
ton to that penchant in next weeks
events. Every day will witness splendid
racing.

in of sufficient capacity to supply all with

all this the Woman's relief corps has Sc
