to this a splendid racing programme has
been arranged, and lovers of horseflesh

hibitS they are to contain. Some OF the
exhibitors, whose merchandise require
care i'll setting up, are already
hard at work SO as to be ready
for opening day, ana the several
superintendent or their assistants are
accommodating their space to the needs
of their entries. Not content with what
has proved Interesting in former years,
the managers have left 10 stone UNI
turned to secure new and attractive
features. and the public will have an
opportunity to judge whether or not
they have been successful in their
efforts.
So that no one day will be less inter-
eSting than the others, additional at
fractions will be secured, though they
have not yet been definitely decided
upon. The main building will this year
present sight not soon to be forgotten,
with its great variety of beautiful eX-i
hibits.
Chief among these will be a decided
novelty at the fair in the shape of an;
extensive electrical display to be made
by the Northwest General Electric COM

will be used were shipped to the,
grounds yesterday and under the direc-'

be magnificent. The current will also
operate number of smaller motors,
one of which will run wheel having
different-eOlored burning lamps on every
spoke and which, when running at full
speed, appears like a circular fame of
many coIOrs. The other motors will
run fans, pumps, etc.
The pivoted fan motor will also be
shown, the speed of the fan making it
revOlve on its plvoted base. Several of
the Thomson recording meters will form
part of the display, the glass covers
used on them to show the working

at the Paris exposition when their

prepared for the worlds fair, this big
building will contain as diversified a
collection of attractions as any ordinary
mortal could wish for. A slender wire

which has space Immediately adjoining,
will supply coffee and biscuits to the
fargoers. The officia! programme, Civ

be published at an early date. Today

to predict that more people will pass
the gates this year than ever before, and
that the society will finish the season
with comfortable surplus.
