The State Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society purchased one hundred
acTes OF Level land in the southern
part of Columbia last spring on which

sary because the Odd grounds were too
small to aEcOuHn odate the large num-
ber or exhibitors and visitors who an
nuaily attended the great fairs, and
the buildings W6Le no longer suitable
for the purposes for which they were
built. On the new grounds there Is

the races can be viewed to much better
advantage and with more comfort. The
quarter stretch Is not separated from
the grand stand as u7ls the case on
the Odd track, but all are combined
under one tIlolOsure. thus increasing
the social Ilart OF the meet
The Midway or Pike is located near
the main entrances and will be filled
with all the modern shows and attrac-
ftosiS. With wares from very part Of
the world. ami with people from every
part OF the world. The athletic
grounds are located just opposite the
Midway. on the other side OF the
entrance. Here Will be played two
excellent games OF football during
Fair week.
The railroads have offered very
cheap rates on account OF the first
Greater State Fair. and they will run
most convenient schedules from all
sections OF The State. In view Of all
the attractions that have been ar
ranged for. there is no risk In saying
that the large crowd Of last year will
be doubled this fall, and that this
great gathering will be more easily ac-
cOmmodated than In any former year.
Every one ought to attend the only
big fair and social event in the State.
