People.
The Ohio state fair and industrial
exposition does not belong to the
standstill class of enterprises or insti-
tutlons. Its managers contrive to
make each succeeding fair an i'm
provement over the former by pro
viding for the newest and best exhibit
tons in the various departments OF
live stock, farm and horticultural pro-
ducts, manufactures, merchandise, art,
music, etc, and bv introducing new
features and special attractions to in
terest instruct and please the people
and to generally enliven the occasion.
To a greater degree than usual will
the exhibitions be improved and add
ed to this year. Many exhibits have
been secured and provided for in
the spacious buildings that are entire
ly new and out of the ordinary line
of fairs and exhibitions. Among the
striking and peculiarly interesting new
exhibits will be the show made by
Ohio at the Columbian exhibition at
Chicago. Under an act of the general
assembly the Ohio commissioners of
the worlds Columbian exposition were
directed to return to Ohio at the close
of that exposition and place on the
Ohio state fair grounds the buildings,
booths cabinets, showcases, stands,
fixtures, etc, with the exhibits repre-
senting Ohio. This has been done,
and the Ohio exhibit as made at
Chicago has been reproduced for ex-
hibition at the state fair of 1894. These
special exhibits will prove an interest
ing feature, especially to those who
did not have the pleasure or opportu-
nifty of seeing Ohio at the worlds fair
last year.
Since the last fair many improve
ments have been made for the arrange
ment and display of exhibits in the
several buildings, so that the whole
will appear in new dress and attract
i've form. In the live stock depart
ment several new classes have been
provided. The most pleasing to
ladies and children will be ponies,
pony turnouts, single and double,
and the pony races. In the speed de-
partment in addition to the usual
trotting and pacing races, the board
has added jumpers TO the list, and
each day there will be exciting run
ming races, in which many horses of
note will start.
As ifall these exhibits and attract
ions were not enough to keep the
visitor busy in sightseeing, still another
special attraction, very exciting one.

ball tournament to be participated in
by Ohio college teams and continuing
