At the Grounds

AT the grounds things are in like tumult
Rushing hither and thther are hundreds of
mechanics and showmen getting everything
ready to put on first class exhibitions. Ex-
hibftors are hard at work getting the expo
sition building into shape and ones ears are
almost deafened by the continuous hubbub.
The space has all been taken and every ex-
hibitor is hustling to get his display in the
proper place The building is also being
profusely decorated with various kinds of
bunting, and on Monday will present quite
a gala appearance.
The grand stand situated about one
hundred feet south of the exposition build
ing, has been completed and is now in read
mess to receive the crowds who come to
witness the racing. The racing paddock
just below is also ready for all corners.
The track is in prime condition and at
all times of day harrow can be seen run
ming over it, crushing the least possible
clods. The stables are nearly all filled with
fine horses and training on the new track
has been in progress for several days. The
many stable boys and jockeys necessary to
a race course are on hand and tend to re-
mind one of the old racing days in Biz
mingham.
