when the curtain rose. 1t Is the
purpose of the management to
make the State Fair six-day exposition,
TO have everything ready for opening
Monday morning and not TO allow the
exposition to be broken up before Satur-
day night. Just as soon as people learn
that, Monday and Saturday will be as big
days as any of the week.. IL is altogether
