Manager Chidsey and his able as
sistants are pushing the preliminaries
to finish in time for the food show
opening next Monday afternoon. More
than half the booths are up and in posi-
ton and the rest are arriving almost
eVry hour and being set up. All Is bus
tie in the big drill room of the armory.
Men are hurrying around all day long
carrying parts of exhibits to different
booths and arranging all the various
things. Carpenters ply their trade bus
lily building the booths and the decor
ators follow them stringing long loops
OF bunting and multi-colored decora-
tons.
When the exposition opens it will be
with plenty of free and thoroughly san
itary food for all visitors. Nearly
every booth, and there will be great
many, is going to give away samples
of up-to-date food.
In addition to this Manager Chidsey

IL spoons. They arrived yesterday
They are after dinner coffee spoons
With Grants monument engraved in
the bowl and a space on the handle
for monogram. The first one hun
dred ladies who purchase tickets for
the show Monday afternoon will each
be presented with one of these hand
some souvenirs. Probably one hun
dred will be given away each succeed
ing day.
They are well worth striving for,
and there will certainly be an inter-
esting scramble when the box office
opens at the armory, Monday afternoon
at o'clock. 1t will be first come gets
spoon, the others get left.
To pacify the ladies who miss the
spoons Mr.. Chidsey has also arranged
to distribute $4,000 cakes of Fairy soap

night will be presented with a cake
OF this scented soap inside the door.
AT one end of the hall stands dark
complexioned cow, in a still, stuffed
state This stuffed COW represents an
eVaporated cream. The liquid will be
poured in a can through a hole in her
back and she is the only cow that gives
pure cream
The New Haven Gas Light company
is erecting a large booth, the largest in
the exhibit. in fact. They will have a
brilliant display of fancy stoves for
/ heating and cooking and various mod
ern gas attachments.
While these food show preparations
are being made the local merchants
are driving their carnival right ahead
also. All the merchants who have not
been called upon may assume that
they were overlooked by accident
purely, as every local merchant is
wanted to make the event success,
and the committee on arrangements,
of which Mr. Howe of Howe & Stetson
is chairman will receive any subscrip-
lions from such merchants.
The last meeting of the committee
will be held this morning in the Insur-
ance building. The advertising wagon
which is touring the state and posting
all the towns under the charge of AL
f bert Southland, brother of F. S. South
/ ard, reports success Arrangements
have been closed with the. food show,
by which the merchants will be able
to give free tickets to their customers
so they can attend the food show before
returning home. Terms have also been
made with the Consolidated road by
which return railroad tickets will be
given to all visitors purchasing more
than IS worth of goods during any one
4 day.
