The demand for space in the Agrl-
cultural Fair Is growing. Many per-
sons who have never before indicated
a desire to make any showing IN the
fair are now coming in and promising
that they will have entries for the be-
ginning of the coming week These
comprise not only flowers, but as well
various kinds of vegetables, and there
will be such a displaying of specially
grown fruits as will rival anything of
the kind ever before attempted
The Merchants Fair pavilion viii be
opened for the arrangement OF exhibit
spaces by the proposing exhibitors to-
day, and the outlook is that the task
of preparing for next weeks fair will
be rushed along. There are some of
the spaces being fitted up already, but
the majority of the exhibitors are wait

have been made with the police for
adequate protection for the exhibits

the proposed baseball tournament q
representative club has caused some
DIS arrangement of the plans, but 1t IS
confidently expected that Maui will be
on hand for the event. An All-Maui
team is expected to come down Sun
day Should this be the case there
will be a great match ON Tuesday
:. men the leaders OF the League will
60 against the visitors.
A special meeting of the League will
be held today or tomorrow for the pur-
pose of arranging if possible for .he
playing on Monday of next week of
the games which are scheduled for sat-
urday. This is done so that the races
at Kapiolani Park will have no rivals
for the attendance of the people. There
have been no Withdrawals so far from
the races and the horses are being sent
along good miles each day for the pur-
pose of getting them in condition for
the Saturday events. There is no doubt
but there win be high class sports for
the day and every thing tends to the
making Of the first of the fair days
nota BILE success. There should be not
less than a thousand people who will
ma Ike the grand stand their Mecca on
the afternoon of Saturday and appli-
cation will be made for the band, so
that there win be nothing lacking in
the arrangements for the enjoyment of
the occasion.
