A resolution recently passed by the local
passenger association was read 1t gives
rate of 1 cent mile each way for the Sec
ond nights performance, which will be
Thursday. Sept s. The first performance
will be on Labor day, and the railroads
have already announced rate for that
day. The rates for the second week have
not yet been announced. The third week
which low rates will be given. 1t is ex-
pected that specially low rates will be Sc
cured for at least one day of the fair, so
as to bring an extra large number OF peo-
pie to the city.
The committee is expecting to have much
larger crowds this year than attended last
year, and have begun their preparations
accordingly. An order was placed yester-
day for a large number of chairs, which
will be bought outright by the committee
and kept for the future. 1t Is the intention
to increase the number of chairs this year
by filling large space at the ends OF the
part of the pavilion occupied by chairs
last year. This will increase the number
of 75-cent seats, and still leave room enough
for those who last year bought the half
dollar seats: The entrances will also be
changed, and arrangements made to prevent
the holders OF the 50-cent seats from climb
ing over into the reserved portion. was
done in so many instances last year. The
Sixteenth-street entrance will be used ex-
clusively for 50-cent tickets. and an
trance will be made on Central avenue for
holders of reserved seat tickets. A netting
will be stretched around the reserved seats.

over the railing, but not so as to obstruct
the view. Another entrance will be made
on the west side for persons that drive out
grounds for the safe hitching of horses.
Ii Is the intention of the committee to
spend about $1,000 for permanent improve
ments al the park. 1t is now certain thar
such entertainments can be successfully
given in tins city. and the committe real
lied that there are many things necessary,
condition that will be demanded by people
who would support the carnivals as per-
manent Institution. Even with the expen-
diture for improvements. the committee
will not expend as much by nearly $1,000 as
ii did last year. when ii had to erect all its
buildings and excavate for the lake. This
places the committee in condition to take
up the enterprise this year In manner
that will insure it's success in every way.
The large and small posters will be here
I'm few days. and men will be put on the
road Immediately to place them all over the
State. Work will begin to-day getting up
the advertisements necessary for the little
descriptive book that will be sent out over
the State. The different committees were
instructed yesterday TO proceed with their
parts of the work Immediately as they
thought best, and such questions they
were unable 10 determine TO refer TO the
