for the inspection of the public" said Pres
.dent Aaron Jones last night. 1.-THE ex-
hibits are the best we nave ever shown
and they are also larger than customary.
The general outlook is fiattering in the
extreme. OF course, we would not OBJ
ject to a rise of a few degrees in the tenn
perature. but we might have weather a
great deal worse than that which seems to
have been provided"
1.-The greatest aid to our success that I
can possibly think Of" continued Mr..
Jones, SIS the one-minute schedule to the
grounds which has been established by the
street-railway company. With plenty of
street cars running almost continuously
and the Monon Railroad sending trains
out here every half hour 1 cannot see how
there can possibly be any congestion of
traffic such as has so frequently damaged
will no doubt come out here just for the
sake of enjoying the novelty of riding out
to the fair grounds and getting back in
something like reasonable time"
ITO show you the number and extent of
our exhibits" said Mr.. Jones, II need only
state that we have been deluged to-day
with complaints from exhibitors that they
have not space for their displays. The
exhibits are of a higher character and cal
culated to prove more attractive and in
teresting than those of former years"
A SALOON CLOSED.
President Jones and Sergeant Martin Hy-
land were facilitating themselves yester-
day upon their prompt disposal of a saloon
which was opened in a tent near the
grounds, Saturday. The proprietor was
driven out of business before he had been
able to sell more than a few drinks. The
saloon directly opposite the main entrance
to the fair grounds will not be disturbed,
because the owner has an annual license.
President Jones declared last night that
the fair is to be absolutely clean. 1--WE
have turned dow $1,000 worth of appli-
cations for licenses to be issued to fakirs
whose shows did not satisfy us as to NOR
atty said Mr.. Jones, with a look in his
eye which plainly meant business.
Law violators had better be a triie care
full as TO how they comport themselves
this week at the fair, for, although not
yet generally known, a regular court has
been opened in the second story of the
administration building. where offenders
may be given swift justice. The judge
is Squire Benjamin White. of Broad Rip
pie, and George Winpenny will conduct
the prosecutions side of all cases coming
before the tribunal. Two warrants were
issued yesterday, but the individuals named
in them fed before the documents could
be served. The desired end was accom-
plished. however, so no mourning was in
dulged in. Arrangements for policing the
grounds are as nearly perfect as is pos
sible. Sergeant Martin Hyland will nave
under his supervision thirty patrolmen, who
will be assigned TO different sections of
the grounds In addition, there VIII be two
detectives and two bicycle policemen from
the city on duty each day, beginning to-
day.
Sid Conger, the member of the board
of agriculture who has charge of the poul-
try exhibit, was in excellent spirits yes
terday. I'VE have the finest display you
ever laid eyes on he said, "and they
came in from the States of Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois. Wisconsin. Kentucky md Tennes-
see. The birds are of the best and most
fancy breeds, and they are ali in the
best of FORM"
MANY LETTERS MAILED.
One of the principal reasons assigned for
the anticipated success of the fair is that
President Jones and Secretary Downing
mailed 1000 separate letters TO farmers
throughout the State, personally requesting
them to come to the fair. and by their pres
ence and cooperation put 1t in the front
rank, where, they assert, it rightly belongs.
M. S. Claypool, of Muncie, who is in
charge of the beef cattle, is another men,
Der of the agricultural board whose face is
wreathed in smiles. 1--WE have without
DOUBT he said, the greatest exhibit of
strictly beef cattle ever got together at a
fair. There are 567 entries, and the display
demonstrates that Indiana takes high RAM
with the other cattle-raising States of the
Union" Some of the owners of the ami
mails constituting this exhibit are Aaron
Barber, OF Avondale farm, at Avon, n. Y,

grounds; William A. Boland. of Grssslands.

FAST HORSES ARRIVE.
The great event OF the day yesterday was
the arrival OF Anaconda and Searchlight.
Each of these much priced animals was in
charge of two caretakers and accompany
ing them were a manager and a driver.
..Knapsack' or KNAPP Mccarthy holds
the reins over ~Searchlight. who has gone a
mile in 2:O3A. Anaconda is kept away from
the fence around the track and otherwise
guided in his course by NJ. Z. McHenry.
Both men expect their horses TO beat the
records established by them, McHenry's

since Anaconda already owns a record OF
2:02la. The speedy animals will, IL is posi-
lively announced. stir up the dust" at 2
