THE OHIOSTATE FAIR
AN ASSURED SUCCESS
And Great Centennial Jubilee
Occasion.

The management of the Ohio State
Fair, to be held at Columbus Aug. 81
and Sept. !, 2, 3 and 4, are now pre-
pared to assert to the people of the
State that they may expect to wit
ness an exhibition that for complete
ness in every department and feature
has never been equaled by any state.
Ohio will do herself proud for this
centennial and jubilee occasion. Ex-
hibitors have WED with each other in
securing exhibition space until at the
present time nothing more can be ac-
commodated. The facilities have
been greatly increased, notwithstand-
ing which further applications for
space must now be declined.
group of seven large, fine build
ings are required and have been pro-
vided for the display of agricultural
audlhorticultural products: fine mer-
chandise and housefurnishings: car
riages, buggies, automobiles and 9TH
er vehicles: hardware, stoves, fur
naces, plumbers goods and fancy
furnishings.
Not far from this group of build
ings is the woman's building newly
fitted up and equipped with large
glass showcases in which to display
the most costly of art needle work,
decorated china, typography and the
handiwork of women in all depart
ments of household art and orna-
mentation.
The art gallery is another building
that will be filed with paintings,
drawings, photography, etc, and will
attract general attention.
The vast machinery building and
the acres of ground that will be occu-
pied with buzzing, whirling, clicking
machinery will be one of the busy
scenes of the fair and a grand illus
tration of inventive progress.
The great live stock buildings are
the wonder of all who have seen them.
Nothing like them, in style of archi-
lecture or adaptability for housing
and exhibition purposes, have ever
before been attempted by any fair
or exposition. The buildings for
horses, cattle, sheep and swine are
constructed of stone and brick with
slate roof. In the center of each
building is show arena and broad
aisles are provided between the stalls
and pens, affording visitors the great
est comfort and cleanliness in pass
ing through to view the stock.
Around and above the show arenas
are seated galleries where visitors
may witness the adjudications. when
animals are brought into the arena.
The great horse building is 332 feet
square, and has a capacity for 500
head of horses. The other live stock
buildings are in good proportion and
great capacity.
The amusements, attractions and
special features of the fair have been
selected with view to please all and
offend none. Everything educational
and inspiring.

scout and war hero, with his company
of expert horsemen, trained horses
