country will be one of the features of the
opening of the new Illinois state Fair Ex-
position building at Springfield sept. pa

tract of 155 acres donated to the state by
the county of Sangamon, and the site Is
said to be an admirable one for a fair
ground. The structure is to be 342 feet
long and with an extreme width of 2l7
feet and mean width of l27 feet. Thd
tip of the main dome will be lO4 feet
above the ground, and there will be q
roof promenade 20 feet wide and capable
of accommodating 200 people extending
the entire length of the structure FROM
this breezy coign of vantage a magnificent
view of the exhibition grounds and thd
surrounding country may be obtained.
The building, which will cost 500, O00|
is designed to be fireproof and is being
constructed of brick, stone, iron, steel
